inet: fix addr_len/msg->msg_namelen assignment in recv_error and rxpmtu functions

2014-05-19T05:54:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 85fbaa75037d0b6b786ff18658ddf0b4014ce2a4 ] Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before. As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr length. This broke traceroute and such.

inet: add RCU protection to inet->opt

2013-06-10T09:43:31+00:00

commit f6d8bd051c391c1c0458a30b2a7abcd939329259 upstream. We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.

netfilter: fix crashes in bridge netfilter caused by fragment jumps

2010-01-06T23:04:40+00:00

commit 8fa9ff6849bb86c59cc2ea9faadf3cb2d5223497 upstream. When fragments from bridge netfilter are passed to IPv4 or IPv6 conntrack and a reassembly queue with the same fragment key already exists from reassembling a similar packet received on a different device (f.i. with multicasted fragments), the reassembled packet might continue on a different codepath than where the head fragment originated. This can cause crashes in bridge netfilter when a fragment received on a non-bridge device (and thus with skb->nf_bridge == NULL) continues through the bridge netfilter code. Add a new reassembly identifier for packets originating from bridge netfilter and use it to put those packets in insolated queues.

net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20+00:00

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial) checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in each and every implementation. Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback from Linus Torvalds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

snmp: add missing counters for RFC 4293

2009-04-27T09:45:02+00:00

The IP MIB (RFC 4293) defines stats for InOctets, OutOctets, InMcastOctets and OutMcastOctets: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4293 But it seems we don't track those in any way that easy to separate from other protocols. This patch adds those missing counters to the stats file. Tested successfully by me With help from Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns xfrm: per-netns sysctls

2008-11-26T02:00:48+00:00

Make net.core.xfrm_aevent_etime net.core.xfrm_acq_expires net.core.xfrm_aevent_rseqth net.core.xfrm_larval_drop sysctls per-netns. For that make net_core_path[] global, register it to prevent two /proc/net/core antries and change initcall position -- xfrm_init() is called from fs_initcall, so this one should be fs_initcall at least.

net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data()

2008-11-24T23:52:46+00:00

We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same destination, hence use the same dst entry. This patch makes ip_append_data() eventually steal the refcount its callers had to take on the dst entry. This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP, on UDP/RAW transmit path Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sysctl: simplify ->strategy

2008-10-16T18:21:47+00:00

name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array may be needed (name).
