Hi, Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according to POSIX. The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use EAFNOSUPPORT.

2011-07-01ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-06-21udp/recvmsg: Clear MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packetXufeng Zhang
Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags. However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong. Fix this problem by clearing MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet.

2011-06-21ipv6/udp: Use the correct variable to determine non-blocking conditionXufeng Zhang
udpv6_recvmsg() function is not using the correct variable to determine whether or not the socket is in non-blocking operation, this will lead to unexpected behavior when a UDP checksum error occurs. Consider a non-blocking udp receive scenario: when udpv6_recvmsg() is called by sock_common_recvmsg(), MSG_DONTWAIT bit of flags variable in udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call: err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(iocb, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); i.e. with udpv6_recvmsg() getting these values: int noblock = flags & MSG_DONTWAIT int flags = flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT So, when udp checksum error occurs, the execution will go to csum_copy_err, and then the problem happens: csum_copy_err: ............... if (flags & MSG_DONTWAIT) return -EAGAIN; goto try_again; ............... But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be: if (noblock) return -EAGAIN; This is also consistent with what the ipv4/udp code does.

2011-06-16netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handlingNicolas Cavallari
By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the process. These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue, netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP header instead. This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header if there is none in the packet.

The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface.

2011-06-08tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open sideJerry Chu
This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on. It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase. The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.

2011-05-24net: convert %p usage to %pKDan Rosenberg
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)". The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm tree. This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK. Cases of printing pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because they use percpu storage. needed size per device is : (512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2 On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool. Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t) Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

2011-05-10xfrm: Assign the inner mode output function to the dst entrySteffen Klassert
As it is, we assign the outer modes output function to the dst entry when we create the xfrm bundle. This leads to two problems on interfamily scenarios. We might insert ipv4 packets into ip6_fragment when called from xfrm6_output. The system crashes if we try to fragment an ipv4 packet with ip6_fragment. This issue was introduced with git commit ad0081e4 (ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed). The second issue is, that we might insert ipv4 packets in netfilter6 and vice versa on interfamily scenarios. With this patch we assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry when we create the xfrm bundle. So xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output from the inner mode is used and the right fragmentation and netfilter functions are called. We switch then to outer mode with the output_finish functions.

2011-05-02net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacksEric Dumazet
Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks. I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations. This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow on a workload adding/removing network devices in background. All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does roughly a revert of commits : 1c2d670f366 : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks 6313c1e0992 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed. It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Cc: Remi Denis-Courmont <remi.denis-courmont@nokia.com> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-29ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notificationsBen Hutchings
For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications (gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover. Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer notification should be deferred until it does. Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer notifications on bonding failover. Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested. Since it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump the bonding version number and update its documentation.
