2009-05-20net: fix rtable leak in net/ipv4/route.cEric Dumazet
Alexander V. Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339 Quoted here because its a perfect one : begin_of_quotation 2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem. rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is removed then the new entry is appended to it. This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0). Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters. Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning, to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed. For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but it will also destroy the ordering. end_of_quotation Problematic commit is 1080d709fb9d8cd4392f93476ee46a9d6ea05a5b (net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded) Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection. A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied. Reported-and-analyzed-by: Alexander V.

2009-05-19ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCPChris Friesen
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU. This can be useful for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames. This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option correctly. It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU, but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

2009-05-17ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP serverChris Friesen
If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from a second interface. The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and rejects the request. This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device. A more sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

2009-05-04tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECNIlpo Järvinen
This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it, somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe. The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested ECN off. Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end enable really has some potential gain too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-28netfilter: revised locking for x_tablesStephen Hemminger
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

2009-04-27ipv4: Limit size of route cache hash tableAnton Blanchard
Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table. On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB: IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes) It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter. With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking 5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms. Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact, in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum. With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option: IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes) With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

2009-04-17[PATCH] net: remove superfluous call to synchronize_net()Eric Dumazet
inet_register_protosw() function is responsible for adding a new inet protocol into a global table (inetsw[]) that is used with RCU rules. As soon as the store of the pointer is done, other cpus might see this new protocol in inetsw[], so we have to make sure new protocol is ready for use. All pending memory updates should thus be committed to memory before setting the pointer. This is correctly done using rcu_assign_pointer() synchronize_net() is typically used at unregister time, after unsetting the pointer, to make sure no other cpu is still using the object we want to dismantle. Using it at register time is only adding an artificial delay that could hide a real bug, and this bug could popup if/when synchronize_rcu() can proceed faster than now. This saves about 13 ms on boot time on a HZ=1000 8 cpus machine ;) (4 calls to inet_register_protosw(), and about 3200 us per call) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
