* netpoll: fix race on poll_list resulting in garbage entryNeil Horman2008-12-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few months back a race was discused between the netpoll napi service path, and the fast path through net_rx_action: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2007/10/16/345470 A patch was submitted for that bug, but I think we missed a case. Consider the following scenario: INITIAL STATE CPU0 has one napi_struct A on its poll_list CPU1 is calling netpoll_send_skb and needs to call poll_napi on the same napi_struct A that CPU0 has on its list CPU0 CPU1 net_rx_action poll_napi !list_empty (returns true) locks poll_lock for A poll_one_napi napi->poll netif_rx_complete __napi_complete (removes A from poll_list) list_entry(list->next) In the above scenario, net_rx_action assumes that the per-cpu poll_list is exclusive to that cpu. netpoll of course violates that, and because the netpoll path can dequeue from the poll list, its possible for CPU0 to detect a non-empty list at the top of the while loop in net_rx_action, but have it become empty by the time it calls list_entry. Since the poll_list isn't surrounded by any other structure, the returned data from that list_entry call in this situation is garbage, and any number of crashes can result based on what exactly that garbage is. Given that its not fasible for performance reasons to place exclusive locks arround each cpus poll list to provide that mutal exclusion, I think the best solution is modify the netpoll path in such a way that we continue to guarantee that the poll_list for a cpu is in fact exclusive to that cpu. To do this I've implemented the patch below. It adds an additional bit to the state field in the napi_struct. When executing napi->poll from the netpoll_path, this bit will be set. When a driver calls netif_rx_complete, if that bit is set, it will not remove the napi_struct from the poll_list. That work will be saved for the next iteration of net_rx_action. I've tested this and it seems to work well. About the biggest drawback I can see to it is the fact that it might result in an extra loop through net_rx_action in the event that the device is actually contended for (i.e. the netpoll path actually preforms all the needed work no the device, and the call to net_rx_action winds up doing nothing, except removing the napi_struct from the poll_list. However I think this is probably a small price to pay, given that the alternative is a crash. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* scm: fix scm_fp_list->list initialization made in wrong placePavel Emelyanov2008-11-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the next page of the scm recursion story (the commit f8d570a4 net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy()). In function scm_fp_dup(), the INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fpl->list) of newly created fpl is done *before* the subsequent memcpy from the old structure and thus the freshly initialized list is overwritten. But that's OK, since this initialization is not required at all, since the fpl->list is list_add-ed at the destruction time in any case (and is unused in other code), so I propose to drop both initializations, rather than moving it after the memcpy. Please, correct me if I miss something significant. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy().David S. Miller2008-11-061-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

So what happened was that it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device. This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions under the new name of netdev_increment_features. It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via ethtool.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances of the error unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free a reference to the device waited on by the first instance. The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait for the very ones that you've added and be done with it. There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock. This is exactly what the following patch does. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UPPatrick McHardy2008-10-071-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN device down that is in promiscous mode: When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented a second time by the vlan_change_rx_flags() callback. The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags() is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP. Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the intended behaviour.

Indeed, when the dst_gc_timer was replaced by the delayed_work dst_gc_work, the mod_timer() call used to schedule the garbage collector at an earlier date was replaced by a schedule_delayed_work() (see commit 86bba269d08f0c545ae76c90b56727f65d62d57f). But, the behaviour of mod_timer() and schedule_delayed_work() is different in the way they handle the delay. mod_timer() stops the timer and re-arm it with the new given delay, whereas schedule_delayed_work() only check if the work is already queued in the workqueue (and queue it (with delay) if it is not) BUT it does NOT take into account the new delay (even if the new delay is earlier in time). schedule_delayed_work() returns 0 if it didn't queue the work, but we don't check the return code in __dst_free(). If I understand the code in __dst_free() correctly, we want dst_gc_task to be queued after DST_GC_INC jiffies if we pass the test (and not in some undetermined time in the future), so I think we should add a call to cancel_delayed_work() before schedule_delayed_work(). Patch below. Or we should at least test the return code of schedule_delayed_work(), and reset the values of dst_garbage.timer_inc and dst_garbage.timer_expires back to their former values if schedule_delayed_work() failed. Otherwise the subsequent calls to __dst_free will test the wrong values and assume wrong thing about when the garbage collector is supposed to be scheduled. dst_gc_task() also calls schedule_delayed_work() without checking its return code (or calling cancel_scheduled_work() first), but it should fine there: dst_gc_task is the routine of the delayed_work, so no dst_gc_work should be pending in the queue when it's running.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | net_tx_action() can skip __QDISC_STATE_SCHED bit clearing while qdisc is neither ran nor rescheduled, which may cause endless loop in dev_deactivate().

* | net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one deviceHerbert Xu2008-09-081-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it stands users of netdev_compute_features (e.g., bridges/bonding) will only enable TSO if all consituent devices support it. This is unnecessarily pessimistic since even on devices that do not support hardware TSO and SG, emulated TSO still performs to a par with TSO off. This patch enables TSO if at least on constituent device supports it in hardware. The direct beneficiaries will be virtualisation that uses bridging since this means that TSO will always be enabled for communication from the host to the guests.

* pkt_sched: Prevent livelock in TX queue running.David S. Miller2008-08-191-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock trying to process that queue. This happens because dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock. This breaks the livelock by adding a check on __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when the trylock fails. Based upon feedback from Herbert Xu and Jarek Poplawski. Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | Change handling of the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED flag in net_tx_action() to enable proper control in dev_deactivate(). Now, if this flag is seen as unset under root_lock means a qdisc can't be netif_scheduled. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* pkt_sched: Add 'deactivated' state.David S. Miller2008-08-171-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new state lets dev_deactivate() mark a qdisc as having been deactivated. dev_queue_xmit() and ing_filter() check for this bit and do not try to process the qdisc if the bit is set. dev_deactivate() polls the qdisc after setting the bit, waiting for both __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING and __QDISC_STATE_SCHED to clear. This isn't perfect yet, but subsequent changesets will make it so. This part is just one piece of the puzzle. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec()Rusty Russell2008-08-151-0/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | There's an skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to copy out of a paged skb, but nothing the other way around (because we don't do that). We want to allocate big skbs in tun.c, so let's add the function. It's a carbon copy of skb_copy_datagram_iovec() with enough changes to be annoying.

* net: Preserve netfilter attributes in skb_gso_segment using __copy_skb_headerHerbert Xu2008-08-151-10/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | skb_gso_segment didn't preserve some attributes in the original skb such as the netfilter fields. This was harmless until they were used which is the case for packets going through lo. This patch makes it call __copy_skb_header which also picks up some other missing attributes.
