The IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER Kconfig describes the rp_filter proc option. Recent changes added a loose mode. Instead of documenting this change too places, refer to the document describing it: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt I'm considering moving the rp_filter description away from the Kconfig file into ip-sysctl.txt.

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode. Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for fixing a critical bug in this and Jeff Chua for reporting that bug.

Further to a71558d0, this is round five of fixes to make etherh work again. As mainline kernels stand, the fixes in b9a9b4b0 were the wrong approach. The 8390 driver was structured by Al Viro to allow the flexibility required by platforms. lib8390.c contains the core code which drivers explicitly include: - 8390.c includes lib8390.c to provide the standard ISA based driver. - etherh.c includes it with the accessors defined for RiscPC platforms, where it is addressed via the MMIO accessors with a device dependent register spacing. Other platform drivers do something similar. However, b9a9b4b0 caused the kernel to contain not only the etherh private build of lib8390 (included in etherh.c) but also lib8390.c itself, and referred the new net_device_ops methods to the ISA version. The result of this is is not pretty: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 12032030 pgd = c8330000 [12032030] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 18331805 [#1] Modules linked in: ipv6 CPU: 0 Not tainted (2.6.29-rc3 #167) PC is at do_set_multicast_list+0xd0/0x190 LR is at bitrev32+0x28/0x34 pc : [<c017aab4>] lr : [<c0139120>] psr: a0000093 sp : c8321d9c ip : c8321d84 fp : c8321dbc r10: c80c6800 r9 : 00000000 r8 : c80c6b60 r7 : c80c6b80 r6 : cc80c800 r5 : c80c6800 r4 : 00000000 r3 : cc80c80c r2 : 00000004 r1 : 00000007 r0 : e0000000 Flags: NzCv IRQs off FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment user ...

Don Skidmore authored
The failure happens when an interrupt occurs and the driver is reading EICR. This read will cause a clear-by-read which leads to two TLP being inserted in the PCIe retry buffer leading to an overflow of the buffer and corruption of TLPs. The solution is different depending where the reading of EICR takes place. For ixgbe_msix_lsc() since we are in MSIX mode and know OCD is enabled a clear-by-write is done instead of the normal clear-by-read. For ixgbe_intr() 0xffffffff is written to EIMC before the read, masking the interrupts.

Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast() return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set, netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers should do. This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy. Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).
