The SCTP pushed the skb data above the sctp chunk header, so the check of pskb_may_pull(skb, xprth + 4 - skb->data) in _decode_session4() will never return 0 because xprth + 4 - skb->data < 0, the ports decode of sctp will always fail. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 73ce7b01. After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30 I tracked the failure down to this commit. The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227. are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn from. It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic. Ouch! Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Alas current delaying of freeing old tnodes by RCU in trie_rebalance is still not enough because we can free a top tnode before updating a t->trie pointer. Reported-by:

If a socket starts out on a non-TSO route, and then switches to a TSO route, then we will tack on data to the tail of the tx queue even if it started out life as non-TSO. This is suboptimal because all of it will then be copied and checksummed unnecessarily. This patch fixes this by ensuring that skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL before appending extra data beyond the MSS. Signed-off-by:

When NAT helpers change the TCP packet size, the highest seen sequence number needs to be corrected. This is currently only done upwards, when the packet size is reduced the sequence number is unchanged. This causes TCP conntrack to falsely detect unacknowledged data and decrease the timeout. Fix by updating the highest seen sequence number in both directions after packet mangling. Tested-by:

When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once. These routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use. To be made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to. To do this binding, we need to follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table. Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and are reutrn success. This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first. Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to the garbage collector when caching is off. If caching is off, and we try to hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero. To avoid this, this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash. This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this suggestion). I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to return false.

Don't drop route if we're not caching I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup. Maxime was testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops. I looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good), but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad). This happens because in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0. This almost emulates slient success. What we should be doing is assigning *rp = rt and _not_ dropping the route. This way, during slow path lookups, when we create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for the purpose of this route request. Maxime has tested and reports it prevents the oops. There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this patch makes sense to take. Signed-off-by:

My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't strict enough. It treats exceptionally tnodes without parent, assuming they are newly created, so "invisible" for the read side yet. But the top tnode doesn't have parent as well, so we have to exclude all exceptions (at least until a better way is found). Additionally we need to move rcu assignment of this node before flushing, so the return type of the trie_rebalance() function is changed. Reported-by:

While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before parent update they could access freed memory. It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side, but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions. This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list, which is flushed after the update is finished. Reported-by:

One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet. This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces. We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example), where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles. We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing is delayed until all tx packets are completed. As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called. Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc) to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets are in flight. skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc reached 0 to perform the final freeing. Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket. Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

Also this unnecessarily increases the conntrackd traffic on H-A firewalls.

This patch simplifies the conntrack event caching system by removing several events: * IPCT_[*]_VOLATILE, IPCT_HELPINFO and IPCT_NATINFO has been deleted since the have no clients. * IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING which is a leftover of the 32-bits counter days. * IPCT_REFRESH which is not of any use since we always include the timeout in the messages. After this patch, the existing events are: * IPCT_NEW, IPCT_RELATED and IPCT_DESTROY, that are used to identify addition and deletion of entries. * IPCT_STATUS, that notes that the status bits have changes, eg. IPS_SEEN_REPLY and IPS_ASSURED. * IPCT_PROTOINFO, that reports that internal protocol information has changed, eg. the TCP, DCCP and SCTP protocol state. * IPCT_HELPER, that a helper has been assigned or unassigned to this entry. * IPCT_MARK and IPCT_SECMARK, that reports that the mark has changed, this covers the case when a mark is set to zero. * IPCT_NATSEQADJ, to report that there's updates in the NAT sequence adjustment.

After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier. This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL. In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this socket option.

Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop was very much overengineered recently in commit 91521944 (tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are skbs after 'skb'. Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that 'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at head. Two things went wrong: - We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging to recover I think). - The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did. Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the previous-like version. The effective changes against the original can be viewed with: git-diff 91521944^ \ net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | sed -n -e '57,70 p' Signed-off-by:
