dccp: fix oops on Reset after close

2011-03-07T23:05:26+00:00

commit 720dc34bbbe9493c7bd48b2243058b4e447a929d upstream. This fixes a bug in the order of dccp_rcv_state_process() that still permitted reception even after closing the socket. A Reset after close thus causes a NULL pointer dereference by not preventing operations on an already torn-down socket. dccp_v4_do_rcv() | | state other than OPEN v dccp_rcv_state_process() | | DCCP_PKT_RESET v dccp_rcv_reset() | v dccp_time_wait() WARNING: at net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c:141 __inet_twsk_hashdance+0x48/0x128() Modules linked in: arc4 ecb carl9170 rt2870sta(C) mac80211 r8712u(C) crc_ccitt ah [] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xec) from [] (warn_slowpath_common) [] (warn_slowpath_common+0x4c/0x64) from [] (warn_slowpath_n) [] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) from [] (__inet_twsk_hashd) [] (__inet_twsk_hashdance+0x48/0x128) from [] (dccp_time_wai) [] (dccp_time_wait+0x40/0xc8) from [] (dccp_rcv_state_proces) [] (dccp_rcv_state_process+0x120/0x538) from [] (dccp_v4_do_) [] (dccp_v4_do_rcv+0x11c/0x14c) from [] (release_sock+0xac/0) [] (release_sock+0xac/0x110) from [] (dccp_close+0x28c/0x380) [] (dccp_close+0x28c/0x380) from [] (inet_release+0x64/0x70) The fix is by testing the socket state first.

dccp: fix error in updating the GAR

2010-11-28T19:29:27+00:00

This fixes a bug in updating the Greatest Acknowledgment number Received (GAR): the current implementation does not track the greatest received value - lower values in the range AWL..AWH (RFC 4340, 7.5.1) erase higher ones. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dccp: cosmetics - warning format

2010-10-12T04:57:43+00:00

dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL

2010-10-12T04:57:40+00:00

This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake. Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2), it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection. This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time during the lifetime of a connection. Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are updated, as implemented by the patch. A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the feature negotiation has completed. During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection; the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

dccp: make implementation of Syn-RTT symmetric

2010-06-26T04:33:15+00:00

This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing. The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance. This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample when the (Data)Ack completing the handshake arrives. Also changed the documentation to 'TFRC' since Syn RTTs are also used by CCID-4. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
