tcp_tw_recycle heavily relies on tcp timestamps to build a per-host ordering of incoming connections and teardowns without the need to hold state on a specific quadruple for TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN, but only for the last measured RTO. To do so, we keep the last seen timestamp in a per-host indexed data structure and verify if the incoming timestamp in a connection request is strictly greater than the saved one during last connection teardown. Thus we can verify later on that no old data packets will be accepted by the new connection. During moving a socket to time-wait state we already verify if timestamps where seen on a connection. Only if that was the case we let the time-wait socket expire after the RTO, otherwise normal TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN will be used. But we don't verify this on incoming SYN packets. If a connection teardown was less than TCP_PAWS_MSL seconds in the past we cannot guarantee to not accept data packets from an old connection if no timestamps are present. We should drop this SYN packet. This patch closes this loophole. Please note, this patch does not make tcp_tw_recycle in any way more usable but only adds another safety check: Sporadic drops of SYN packets because of reordering in the network or in the socket backlog queues can happen. Users behing NAT trying to connect to a tcp_tw_recycle enabled server can get caught in blackholes and their connection requests may regullary get dropped because hosts behind an address translator don't have synchronized tcp timestamp clocks. tcp_tw_recycle cannot work if peers don't have tcp timestamps enabled. In general, use of tcp_tw_recycle is disadvised. Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by:

Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb(). Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6 code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had an IPv4 dst. Signed-off-by:

As of 4fddbf5d ("sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device"), when looking up a tunnel, tunnel's underlying interface (t->parms.link) is verified to match incoming traffic's ingress device. However the comparison was incorrectly based on skb->dev->iflink. Instead, dev->ifindex should be used, which correctly represents the interface from which the IP stack hands the ipip6 packets. This allows setting up sit tunnels bound to vlan interfaces (otherwise incoming ipip6 traffic on the vlan interface was dropped due to ipip6_tunnel_lookup match failure). Signed-off-by:

xgene_enet_get_ring_size() returns a negative value in case of an error, but its only caller in xgene_enet_create_desc_ring() currently uses the return value directly as u32. Instead, check for a negative value first and error out in case. Also move the call to xgene_enet_get_ring_size() before devm_kzalloc() so we don't need to free anything in the error path. This fixes the following issue reported by the Coverity Scanner: ** CID 1231336: Improper use of negative value (NEGATIVE_RETURNS) /drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_main.c: 596 in xgene_enet_create_desc_ring() Signed-off-by:

We don't know right timestamp for repaired skb-s. Wrong RTT estimations isn't good, because some congestion modules heavily depends on it.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-08-12 This series contains updates to i40e and e1000e. Lucas provides a fix for i40e to resolve a compile issue where a header was missing in the #includes. Wei Yongjun provides a fix for i40e to resolve a sparse warning, where a non-static function should be static. Julia Lawall provides a fix for i40e which was found using Coccinelle, where there was a typo in the name of the type given to sizeof(). Rickard Strandqvist provides a fix for i40e to replace the use of strncpy() with strlcpy() to avoid strings that lack null termination. Jean Sacren provides two e1000e fixes, first is a comment fix and second removes an excessive space character in a debug message. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Wei Liu says: ==================== xen-netback: synchronisation between core driver and netback The zero-copy netback has far more interactions with core network driver than the old copying backend. One significant thing is that netback now relies on a callback from core driver to correctly release resources. However correct synchronisation between core driver and netback is missing. Currently netback relies on a loop to wait for core driver to release resources. This is proven not enough and erroneous recently, partly due to code structure, partly due to missing synchronisation. Short-live domains like OpenMirage unikernels can easily trigger race in backend, rendering backend unresponsive. This patch series aims to slove this issue by introducing proper synchronisation between core driver and netback. Chagges in v4: * avoid using wait queue * remove dedicated loop for netif_napi_del * remove unnecessary check on callback Change in v3: improve commit message in patch 1 Change in v2: fix Zoltan's email address in commit message ==================== Signed-off-by: -

When fragmenting skbuffs, ensure that the tskey is set for the fragment in which the tskey falls (seqno <= tskey < end_seqno). The original implementation did not address fragmentation in tcp_fragment or tso_fragment. Add code to inspect the sequence numbers and move both tskey and the relevant tx_flags if necessary.

One should not call blocking primitives inside a wait loop, since both require task_struct::state to sleep, so the inner will destroy the outer state. sigd_enq() will possibly sleep for alloc_skb(). Move sigd_enq() before prepare_to_wait() to avoid sleeping while waiting interruptibly. You do not actually need to call sigd_enq() after the initial prepare_to_wait() because we test the termination condition before calling schedule(). Based on suggestions from Peter Zijlstra.

Pull x86/apic updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This is a major overhaul to the x86 apic subsystem consisting of the following parts: - Remove obsolete APIC driver abstractions (David Rientjes) - Use the irqdomain facilities to dynamically allocate IRQs for IOAPICs. This is a prerequisite to enable IOAPIC hotplug support, and it also frees up wasted vectors (Jiang Liu) - Misc fixlets. Despite the hickup in Ingos previous pull request - caused by the missing fixup for the suspend/resume issue reported by Borislav - I strongly recommend that this update finds its way into 3.17. Some history for you: This is preparatory work for physical IOAPIC hotplug. The first attempt to support this was done by Yinghai and I shot it down because it just added another layer of obscurity and complexity to the already existing mess without tackling the underlying shortcomings of the current implementation. After quite some on- and offlist discussions, I requested that the design of this functionality must use generic infrastructure, i.e. irq domains, which provide all the mechanisms to dynamically map linux interrupt numbers to physical interrupts. Jiang picked up the idea and did a great job of consolidating the existing interfaces to manage the x86 (IOAPIC) interrupt system by utilizing irq domains. The testing in tip, Linux-next and inside of Intel on various machines did not unearth any oddities until Borislav exposed it to one of his oddball machines. The issue was resolved quickly, but unfortunately the fix fell through the cracks and did not hit the tip tree before Ingo sent the pull request. Not entirely Ingos fault, I also assumed that the fix was already merged when Ingo asked me whether he could send it. Nevertheless this work has a proper design, has undergone several rounds of review and the final fallout after applying it to tip and integrating it into Linux-next has been more than moderate. It's the ground work not only for IOAPIC hotplug, it will also allow us to move the lowlevel vector allocation into the irqdomain hierarchy, which will benefit other architectures as well. Patches are posted already, but they are on hold for two weeks, see below. I really appreciate the competence and responsiveness Jiang has shown in course of this endavour. So I'm sure that any fallout of this will be addressed in a timely manner. FYI, I'm vanishing for 2 weeks into my annual kids summer camp kitchen duty^Wvacation, while you folks are drooling at KS/LinuxCon :) But HPA will have a look at the hopefully zero fallout until I'm back" * 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (53 commits) x86, irq, PCI: Keep IRQ assignment for PCI devices during suspend/hibernation x86/apic/vsmp: Make is_vsmp_box() static x86, apic: Remove enable_apic_mode callback x86, apic: Remove setup_portio_remap callback x86, apic: Remove multi_timer_check callback x86, apic: Replace noop_check_apicid_used x86, apic: Remove check_apicid_present callback x86, apic: Remove mps_oem_check callback x86, apic: Remove smp_callin_clear_local_apic callback x86, apic: Replace trampoline physical addresses with defaults x86, apic: Remove x86_32_numa_cpu_node callback x86: intel-mid: Use the new io_apic interfaces x86, vsmp: Remove is_vsmp_box() from apic_is_clustered_box() x86, irq: Clean up irqdomain transition code x86, irq, devicetree: Release IOAPIC pin when PCI device is disabled x86, irq, SFI: Release IOAPIC pin when PCI device is disabled x86, irq, mpparse: Release IOAPIC pin when PCI device is disabled x86, irq, ACPI: Release IOAPIC pin when PCI device is disabled x86, irq: Introduce helper functions to release IOAPIC pin x86, irq: Simplify the way to handle ISA IRQ ... -
