      tcp: clear hints to avoid a stale one (nfs only affected?) · 8818a9d8
      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      Eric Dumazet mentioned in a context of another problem:
      
      "Well, it seems NFS reuses its socket, so maybe we miss some
      cleaning as spotted in this old patch"
      
      I've not check under which conditions that actually happens but
      if true, we need to make sure we don't accidently leave stale
      hints behind when the write queue had to be purged (whether reusing
      with NFS can actually happen if purging took place is something I'm
      not sure of).
      
      ...At least it compiles.

      TCPCT part 1d: define TCP cookie option, extend existing struct's · 435cf559
      William Allen Simpson 提交于
      Data structures are carefully composed to require minimal additions.
      For example, the struct tcp_options_received cookie_plus variable fits
      between existing 16-bit and 8-bit variables, requiring no additional
      space (taking alignment into consideration).  There are no additions to
      tcp_request_sock, and only 1 pointer in tcp_sock.

      The principle difference is using a TCP option to carry the cookie nonce,
      instead of a user configured offset in the data.  This is more flexible and
      less subject to user configuration error.  Such a cookie option has been
      suggested for many years, and is also useful without SYN data, allowing
      several related concepts to use the same extension option.

      net: Automatically allocate per namespace data. · f875bae0
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      To get the full benefit of batched network namespace cleanup netowrk
      device deletion needs to be performed by the generic code.  When
      using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net
      it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called
      as the device uninit methods are no longer safe.
      
      To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data
      I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into
      the network namespace core.  The core now frees the data only after
      all of the network namespace exit routines have run.
      
      Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size
      in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace
      data to be managed for you automatically.
      
      This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and
      register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary.  For the moment
      I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h
      They will be removed once all of the users have been updated.

      net: Batch network namespace destruction. · 2b035b39
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      It is fairly common to kill several network namespaces at once.  Either
      because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating
      in multiple machine networking experiments.  As the network stack control logic
      does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing
      together.
      
      To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be
      removed must be all removed in one batch.  For that purpose I have added
      a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches
      up all remaining network devices and deletes them.
      
      An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size
      of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct
      with a list_head.
      
      In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of
      a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds
      (at 60% cpu).  The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge.

      net: NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET -> NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH · a5ee1551
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice
      notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not
      once per namespace.
      
      For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the
      netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all
      of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with
      the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly
      unregistered last.
      
      Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after
      the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no
      explanation.  So I have restored the original location of the final
      synchronize_net.

      mac80211: fix spurious delBA handling · 827d42c9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211
      was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of
      which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
      changing the order in which things were done -- this was

        Author: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com>

            mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
      
      The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
      checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
      indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
      callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
      
      The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
      race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
      OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
      aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
      accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
      race window where crashes could happen before the driver
      accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
      drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
      
      For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
       1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
          about the session state; don't drop the lock
      
       2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
          even before the session was really started -- this is
          true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
          iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
          (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

      sctp: on T3_RTX retransmit all the in-flight chunks · 5fdd4bae
      Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul 提交于
      When retransmitting due to T3 timeout, retransmit all the
      in-flight chunks for the corresponding  transport/path, including
      chunks sent less then 1 rto ago.
      This is the correct behaviour according to rfc4960 section 6.3.3
      E3 and
      "Note: Any DATA chunks that were sent to the address for which the
       T3-rtx timer expired but did not fit in one MTU (rule E3 above)
       should be marked for retransmission and sent as soon as cwnd
       allows (normally, when a SACK arrives). ".
      
      This fixes problems when more then one path is present and the T3
      retransmission of the first chunk that timeouts stops the T3 timer
      for the initial active path, leaving all the other in-flight
      chunks waiting forever or until a new chunk is transmitted on the
      same path and timeouts (and this will happen only if the cwnd
      allows sending new chunks, but since cwnd was dropped to MTU by
      the timeout => it will wait until the first heartbeat).
      
      Example: 10 packets in flight, sent at 0.1 s intervals on the
      primary path. The primary path is down and the first packet
      timeouts. The first packet is retransmitted on another path, the
      T3 timer for the primary path is stopped and cwnd is set to MTU.
      All the other 9 in-flight packets will not be retransmitted
      (unless more new packets are sent on the primary path which depend
      on cwnd allowing it, and even in this case the 9 packets will be
      retransmitted only after a new packet timeouts which even in the
      best case would be more then RTO).
      
      This commit reverts d0ce9291 and
      also removes the now unused transport->last_rto, introduced in
       b6157d8e.
      
      p.s  The problem is not only when multiple paths are there.  It
      can happen in a single homed environment.  If the application
      stops sending data, it possible to have a hung association.

      mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messages · a58ce43f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME
      requests an authentication but then deauthenticates
      right away because some new parameters came along.
      Every time this happens we print a deauth message
      and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather
      confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication
      process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that.
      
      The patch looks larger than it really is:
      __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from
      cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code
      except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and

      mac80211: request TX status where needed · 7351c6bd
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
      have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
      request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
      the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
      hostapd) so move setting this flag.
      
      The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
      they don't require it.
      
      Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
      seems to require it being set for all frames, but
      that can be fixed in rt2x00.
      
      This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
      but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
      opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
      have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.
