      netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void · 053c095a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
      return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
      return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
      
      This makes the very common pattern of
      
        if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
      
      be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
      
        return nlmsg_end(...);
      
      and the caller is expected to deal with it.
      
      This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
      common to write
      
        if (my_function(...))
          /* error condition */
      
      and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
      
      Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
      needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
      it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
      
      Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
      code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
      
      -	return nlmsg_end(...);
      +	nlmsg_end(...);
      +	return 0;
      
      I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
      skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
      functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
      the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
      be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
      efficient version.
      
      One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
      in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
      check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
      I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
      userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
      every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
      for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
      are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

      ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior. · 54764bb6
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      commit 404e0a8b (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
      to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :
      
      We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
      still have dst in their cache.
      dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.
      
      Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
      nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
      rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.
      
      Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
      call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)
      
      I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
      to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
      this code.

      net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts · 404e0a8b
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      commit c6cffba4 (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.)
      added various fatal races with dst refcounts.
      
      crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same
      time.
      
      The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy.
      
      We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make
      sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods :
      
      Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period
      before dst destruction for cached dst
      
      Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero()
      to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently
      waiting an rcu grace period before destruction)
      
      rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and
      release it if was not able to install it.
      
      With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks.

      net: Pass optional SKB and SK arguments to dst_ops->{update_pmtu,redirect}() · 6700c270
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This will be used so that we can compose a full flow key.
      
      Even though we have a route in this context, we need more.  In the
      future the routes will be without destination address, source address,
      etc. keying.  One ipv4 route will cover entire subnets, etc.
      
      In this environment we have to have a way to possess persistent storage
      for redirects and PMTU information.  This persistent storage will exist
      in the FIB tables, and that's why we'll need to be able to rebuild a
      full lookup flow key here.  Using that flow key will do a fib_lookup()
      and create/update the persistent entry.

      rtnetlink: Compute and store minimum ifinfo dump size · c7ac8679
      Greg Rose 提交于
      The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to
      a single page.  This is not enough for additional interface info
      available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in
      which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately
      40 VFs were created per interface.
      
      Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will
      calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate
      enough data to satisfy the request.
