net: replace ipfragok with skb->local_df

As Herbert Xu said: we should be able to simply replace ipfragok
with skb->local_df. commit f88037(sctp: Drop ipfargok in sctp_xmit function)
has droped ipfragok and set local_df value properly.

The patch kills the ipfragok parameter of .queue_xmit().

-another is a lockdep warning[2]

The root reason is that __skb_queue_purge can't be executed in hardirq
context, so the patch forks ath9k_skb_queue_purge(ath9k version of _skb_queue_purge),

context safely, then prevent the lockdep warning and kernel warning after
unplugging ar9271 usb device.

Older chipsets apparently need a reset to come out of this situration, but on

14 years agotun: orphan an skb on tx
Michael S. Tsirkin [Tue, 13 Apr 2010 04:59:44 +0000 (04:59 +0000)]
tun: orphan an skb on tx

The following situation was observed in the field:
tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result
tap1 can not be closed. This happens because
tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely.

As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a
copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing
ownership if we're going into a hostile device.

This patch implements the second approach.

Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs
keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a
reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog,
instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted.
At least this is not user-triggerable, and
this was not reported in practice, my assumption is
other devices besides tap complete an skb
within finite time after it has been queued.

A possible solution for the second issue
would not to have socket reference the device,
instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and
wait for all skbs to complete there, but this
needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tables

This patch adds support for multiple independant multicast routing instances,
named "tables".

Userspace multicast routing daemons can bind to a specific table instance by
issuing a setsockopt call using a new option MRT_TABLE. The table number is
stored in the raw socket data and affects all following ipmr setsockopt(),
getsockopt() and ioctl() calls. By default, a single table (RT_TABLE_DEFAULT)
is created with a default routing rule pointing to it. Newly created pimreg
devices have the table number appended ("pimregX"), with the exception of
devices created in the default table, which are named just "pimreg" for
compatibility reasons.

Packets are directed to a specific table instance using routing rules,
similar to how regular routing rules work. Currently iif, oif and mark
are supported as keys, source and destination addresses could be supported
additionally.

Example usage:

- bind pimd/xorp/... to a specific table:

uint32_t table = 123;
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_TABLE, &table, sizeof(table));

- create routing rules directing packets to the new table:

# ip mrule add iif eth0 lookup 123
# ip mrule add oif eth0 lookup 123

14 years agonet: sk_dst_cache RCUification
Eric Dumazet [Thu, 8 Apr 2010 23:03:29 +0000 (23:03 +0000)]
net: sk_dst_cache RCUification

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.

sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)

This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)

This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.

__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))

This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

most of p54pci's rx-ring management is implemented in just
two distinct standalone functions. p54p_check_rx_ring takes
care of processing incoming data, while p54p_refill_rx_ring
tries to replenish all depleted communication buffers.

This has always worked fine on my fast machine, but
now I know there is a hidden race...

The most likely candidate here is ring_control->device_idx.
Quintin Pitts had already analyzed the culprit and posted
a patch back in Oct 2009. But sadly, no one's picked up on this.
( https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/53079/ [2 & 3] ).
This patch does the same way, except that it also prioritize
rx data processing, simply because tx routines *can* wait.

tcp: Set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skb

Back in commit 04a0551c87363f100b04d28d7a15a632b70e18e7
("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped
setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit.

This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the
checksum field of the packet is properly filled in.

Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and
skb->csum is calculated as needed.

But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the
skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()).  It doesn't
happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc.

Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet
constructor.  It already is setting skb->csum to zero.

But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not
valid.  So we'll have to address that at some point too.
