While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller than a page. Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can always be sent immediately. The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal. This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436 MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than 16436. I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections, but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that those cases don't regress.

Been seeing occasional panics in my testing of 2.6.25-rc in ip_defrag. Offending line in ip_defrag is here: net = skb->dev->nd_net where dev is NULL.

When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt. This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down. The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7): - Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...> - New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes below the last end: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...> The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window: 3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832 65832 / 2^7 = 514 65832 % 2^7 = 40 If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq() will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number. This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack. If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of ACKs until the connection times out. Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to the window scaling factor. Signed-off-by: NPatrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> This patch is based on the one from Thomas. The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one. That's the preamble. The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be) in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy and its socket will be bound to another id. The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys, that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg. The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only. Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid as well. A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in the audit_filter_syscall.

commit e9720acd ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)) broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev.

Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes ganglia happy again.

There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions. In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw. Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized. The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list. The solution is to refactor how we do registration and initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw. Care must be taken since the address list initialization depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization. Also the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.
