      net: sk_dst_cache RCUification · b6c6712a
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
      work.
      
      sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)
      
      This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
      entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
      again :)
      
      This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.
      
      __sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
      socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
      condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))
      
      This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
      for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.

      x25: Patch to fix bug 15678 - x25 accesses fields beyond end of packet. · f5eb917b
      John Hughes 提交于
      Here is a patch to stop X.25 examining fields beyond the end of the packet.
      
      For example, when a simple CALL ACCEPTED was received:
      
      	10 10 0f
      
      x25_parse_facilities was attempting to decode the FACILITIES field, but this
      packet contains no facilities field.

      cfg80211: Add local-state-change-only auth/deauth/disassoc · d5cdfacb
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association
      commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements,
      user space applications may need to clear authentication or
      association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with
      deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication
      or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to
      allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other
      deauth/disassoc operations being completed.
      
      Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in
      the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange
      in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an
      authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without
      sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication
      command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to
      indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This
      enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully.

      xfrm: cache bundles instead of policies for outgoing flows · 80c802f3
      Timo Teräs 提交于
      __xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
      system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
      kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
      required per policy.
      
      This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
      the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
      bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
      get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).

      flow: virtualize flow cache entry methods · fe1a5f03
      Timo Teräs 提交于
      This allows to validate the cached object before returning it.
      It also allows to destruct object properly, if the last reference
      was held in flow cache. This is also a prepartion for caching
      bundles in the flow cache.
      
      In return for virtualizing the methods, we save on:
      - not having to regenerate the whole flow cache on policy removal:
        each flow matching a killed policy gets refreshed as the getter
        function notices it smartly.
      - we do not have to call flow_cache_flush from policy gc, since the
        flow cache now properly deletes the object if it had any references

      ipv6 fib: Make rt6_info{} more cache-line aware. · bd2c77a0
      YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明 提交于
      The head element of rt6_info{} is dst_entry{}, and
      IPv6 specific elements follow.
      
      Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently
      updated, it is not good to put frequently-used static
      elements, such as rt6i_idev, rt6i_dst or rt6i_flags in the
      same cache line.
      
      On the other hand, fib6_table, rt6i_node or rt6i_gateway are
      rarely used, so it is okay to stay in the same cache line.
      
      Let's rearrange rt6_info{}.

      gen_estimator: deadlock fix · 5d944c64
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      One of my test machine got a deadlock during "tc" sessions,
      adding/deleting classes & filters, using traffic estimators.
      
      After some analysis, I believe we have a potential use after free case
      in est_timer() :
      
      spin_lock(e->stats_lock); << HERE >>
      read_lock(&est_lock);
      if (e->bstats == NULL)   << TEST >>
      	goto skip;
      
      Test is done a bit late, because after estimator is killed, and before
      rcu grace period elapsed, we might already have freed/reuse memory where
      e->stats_locks points to (some qdisc->q.lock)
      
      A possible fix is to respect a rcu grace period at Qdisc dismantle time.
      
      On 64bit, sizeof(struct Qdisc) is exactly 192 bytes. Adding 16 bytes to
      it (for struct rcu_head) is a problem because it might change
      performance, given QDISC_ALIGNTO is 32 bytes.
      
      This is why I also change QDISC_ALIGNTO to 64 bytes, to satisfy most
      current alignment requirements.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      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.
