2010-10-21tproxy: fix hash locking issue when using port redirection in ↵Balazs Scheidler
__inet_inherit_port() When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket). Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break. This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port() failing. Reported by and original patch from Stephen Buck <stephen.buck@exinda.com>. See http://marc.info/?t=128169268200001&r=1&w=2 for the original discussion.

the same tuple Without tproxy redirections an incoming SYN kicks out conflicting TIME_WAIT sockets, in order to handle clients that reuse ports within the TIME_WAIT period. The same mechanism didn't work in case TProxy is involved in finding the proper socket, as the time_wait processing code looked up the listening socket assuming that the listener addr/port matches those of the established connection. This is not the case with TProxy as the listener addr/port is possibly changed with the tproxy rule.

2010-10-21ipvs: provide address family for debuggingJulian Anastasov
As skb->protocol is not valid in LOCAL_OUT add parameter for address family in packet debugging functions. Even if ports are not present in AH and ESP change them to use ip_vs_tcpudp_debug_packet to show at least valid addresses as before. This patch removes the last user of skb->protocol in IPVS.

2010-10-21ipvs: changes for local real serverJulian Anastasov
This patch deals with local real servers: - Add support for DNAT to local address (different real server port). It needs ip_vs_out hook in LOCAL_OUT for both families because skb->protocol is not set for locally generated packets and can not be used to set 'af'. - Skip packets in ip_vs_in marked with skb->ipvs_property because ip_vs_out processing can be executed in LOCAL_OUT but we still have the conn_out_get check in ip_vs_in. - Ignore packets with inet->nodefrag from local stack - Require skb_dst(skb) != NULL because we use it to get struct net - Add support for changing the route to local IPv4 stack after DNAT depending on the source address type. Local client sets output route and the remote client sets input route. It looks like IPv6 does not need such rerouting because the replies use addresses from initial incoming header, not from skb route. - All transmitters now have strict checks for the destination address type: redirect from non-local address to local real server requires NAT method, local address can not be used as source address when talking to remote real server. - Now LOCALNODE is not set explicitly as forwarding method in real server to allow the connections to provide correct forwarding method to the backup server. Not sure if this breaks tools that expect to see 'Local' real server type. If needed, this can be supported with new flag IP_VS_DEST_F_LOCAL. Now it should be possible connections in backup that lost their fwmark information during sync to be forwarded properly to their daddr, even if it is local address in the backup server. By this way backup could be used as real server for DR or TUN, for NAT there are some restrictions because tuple collisions in conntracks can create problems for the traffic. - Call ip_vs_dst_reset when destination is updated in case some real server IP type is changed between local and remote.

2010-10-21ipvs: do not schedule conns from real serversJulian Anastasov
This patch is needed to avoid scheduling of packets from local real server when we add ip_vs_in in LOCAL_OUT hook to support local client. Currently, when ip_vs_in can not find existing connection it tries to create new one by calling ip_vs_schedule. The default indication from ip_vs_schedule was if connection was scheduled to real server. If real server is not available we try to use the bypass forwarding method or to send ICMP error. But in some cases we do not want to use the bypass feature. So, add flag 'ignored' to indicate if the scheduler ignores this packet. Make sure we do not create new connections from replies. We can hit this problem for persistent services and local real server when ip_vs_in is added to LOCAL_OUT hook to handle local clients. Also, make sure ip_vs_schedule ignores SYN packets for Active FTP DATA from local real server. The FTP DATA connection should be created on SYN+ACK from client to assign correct connection daddr.

2010-10-21ipvs: switch to notrack modeJulian Anastasov
Change skb->ipvs_property semantic. This is preparation to support ip_vs_out processing in LOCAL_OUT. ipvs_property=1 will be used to avoid expensive lookups for traffic sent by transmitters. Now when conntrack support is not used we call ip_vs_notrack method to avoid problems in OUTPUT and POST_ROUTING hooks instead of exiting POST_ROUTING as before.

2010-10-21ipvs: optimize checksums for appsJulian Anastasov
Avoid full checksum calculation for apps that can provide info whether csum was broken after payload mangling. For now only ip_vs_ftp mangles payload and it updates the csum, so the full recalculation is avoided for all packets. Add CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for snat_handler (TCP and UDP). It is needed to support SNAT from local address for the case when csum is fully recalculated. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>

2010-10-19ipvs: IPv6 tunnel modeHans Schillstrom
IPv6 encapsulation uses a bad source address for the tunnel. i.e. VIP will be used as local-addr and encap. dst addr. Decapsulation will not accept this. Example LVS (eth1 2003::2:0:1/96, VIP 2003::2:0:100) (eth0 2003::1:0:1/96) RS (ethX 2003::1:0:5/96) tcpdump 2003::2:0:100 > 2003::1:0:5: IP6 (hlim 63, next-header TCP (6) payload length: 40) 2003::3:0:10.50991 > 2003::2:0:100.http: Flags [S], cksum 0x7312 (correct), seq 3006460279, win 5760, options [mss 1440,sackOK,TS val 1904932 ecr 0,nop,wscale 3], length 0 In Linux IPv6 impl. you can't have a tunnel with an any cast address receiving packets (I have not tried to interpret RFC 2473) To have receive capabilities the tunnel must have: - Local address set as multicast addr or an unicast addr - Remote address set as an unicast addr. - Loop back addres or Link local address are not allowed. This causes us to setup a tunnel in the Real Server with the LVS as the remote address, here you can't use the VIP address since it's used inside the tunnel. Solution Use outgoing interface IPv6 address (match against the destination). i.e. use ip6_route_output() to look up the route cache and then use ipv6_dev_get_saddr(...) to set the source address of the encapsulated packet. Additionally, cache the results in new destination fields: dst_cookie and dst_saddr and properly check the returned dst from ip6_route_output. We now add xfrm_lookup call only for the tunneling method where the source address is a local one.

2010-10-17netns: reorder fields in struct netEric Dumazet
In a network bench, I noticed an unfortunate false sharing between 'loopback_dev' and 'count' fields in "struct net". 'count' is written each time a socket is created or destroyed, while loopback_dev might be often read in routing code. Move loopback_dev in a read mostly section of "struct net" Note: struct netns_xfrm is cache line aligned on SMP. (It contains a "struct dst_ops") Move it at the end to avoid holes, and reduce sizeof(struct net) by 128 bytes on ia32. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-12Bluetooth: Add common code for stream-oriented recvmsg()Mat Martineau
This commit adds a bt_sock_stream_recvmsg() function for use by any Bluetooth code that uses SOCK_STREAM sockets. This code is copied from rfcomm_sock_recvmsg() with minimal modifications to remove RFCOMM-specific functionality and improve readability. L2CAP (with the SOCK_STREAM socket type) and RFCOMM have common needs when it comes to reading data. Proper stream read semantics require that applications can read from a stream one byte at a time and not lose any data. The RFCOMM code already operated on and pulled data from the underlying L2CAP socket, so very few changes were required to make the code more generic for use with non-RFCOMM data over L2CAP. Applications that need more awareness of L2CAP frame boundaries are still free to use SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, and may verify that they connection did not fall back to basic mode by calling getsockopt().

This is the second step for neighbour RCU conversion. (first was commit d6bf7817 : RCU conversion of neigh hash table) neigh_lookup() becomes lockless, but still take a reference on found neighbour. (no more read_lock()/read_unlock() on tbl->lock) struct neighbour gets an additional rcu_head field and is freed after an RCU grace period. Future work would need to eventually not take a reference on neighbour for temporary dst (DST_NOCACHE), but this would need dst->_neighbour to use a noref bit like we did for skb->_dst.

2010-10-05net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash tableEric Dumazet
David This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code. Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU protected objects. Thanks [PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct neigh_table", a new structure is defined : struct neigh_hash_table { struct neighbour **hash_buckets; unsigned int hash_mask; __u32 hash_rnd; struct rcu_head rcu; }; And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a neigh_hash_table. This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not anymore a neigh_table field.

2010-10-05genetlink: introduce pre_doit/post_doit hooksJohannes Berg
Each family may have some amount of boilerplate locking code that applies to most, or even all, commands. This allows a family to handle such things in a more generic way, by allowing it to a) include private flags in each operation b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called, before an operation's doit() callback and may return an error directly, c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo locking or similar things done by pre_doit, and finally d) include two private pointers in each info struct passed between all these operations including doit(). (It's two because I'll need two in nl80211 -- can be extended.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-10-05mac80211: distinct between max rates and the number of rates the hw can reportHelmut Schaa
Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800). However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1 the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes that the device can handle multi rate retries. Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.
