lsof reports some of socket descriptors as "can't identify protocol" like: [yamato@localhost]/tmp% sudo lsof | grep dbus | grep iden dbus-daem 652 dbus 6u sock ... 17812 can't identify protocol dbus-daem 652 dbus 34u sock ... 24689 can't identify protocol dbus-daem 652 dbus 42u sock ... 24739 can't identify protocol dbus-daem 652 dbus 48u sock ... 22329 can't identify protocol ... lsof cannot resolve the protocol used in a socket because procfs doesn't provide the map between inode number on sockfs and protocol type of the socket. For improving the situation this patch adds an extended attribute named 'system.sockprotoname' in which the protocol name for /proc/PID/fd/SOCKET is stored. So lsof can know the protocol for a given /proc/PID/fd/SOCKET with getxattr system call. A few weeks ago I submitted a patch for the same purpose. The patch was introduced /proc/net/sockfs which enumerates inodes and protocols of all sockets alive on a system. However, it was rejected because (1) a global lock was needed, and (2) the layout of struct socket was changed with the patch. This patch doesn't use any global lock; and doesn't change the layout of any structs. In this patch, a protocol name is stored to dentry->d_name of sockfs when new socket is associated with a file descriptor. Before this patch dentry->d_name was not used; it was just filled with empty string. lsof may use an extended attribute named 'system.sockprotoname' to retrieve the value of dentry->d_name. It is nice if we can see the protocol name with ls -l /proc/PID/fd. However, "socket:[#INODE]", the name format returned from sockfs_dname() was already defined. To keep the compatibility between kernel and user land, the extended attribute is used to prepare the value of dentry->d_name.

The implementation of dev_ifconf() for the compat ioctl interface uses an intermediate ifc structure allocated in userland for the duration of the syscall. Though, it fails to initialize the padding bytes inserted for alignment and that for leaks four bytes of kernel stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.

Instead of updating the sk_cgrp_prioidx struct field on every send this only updates the field when a task is moved via cgroup infrastructure. This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the default case. It seems more correct to only update the field when the user explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.

This patch fixes a crash tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel -> sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock)) introduced by commit 1ab5ecb9 The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory and optionally causes a crash. sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that "sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when creating and closing tun devices. This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use, fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow. It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke. Signed-off-by: NMikulas Patocka <mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change.

We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users (see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code translation. ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY ("Inappropriate ioctl for device"). That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code that makes it harder to do the right thing.

This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two control files: 1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup. This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem, and is used to index the per-device priority map 2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples <name:priority> where name is the name of a network interface and priority is indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and originating from a pid in this cgroup This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting selected.

The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer. Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but injecting it with radiotap and getting the status out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and doesn't work with all hardware. To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX status option for data frame transmissions. This works similar to the existing TX timestamping in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has an int indicating ACK status (0/1). Since it is possible that at some point we will want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more than just the timestamp; keep the old constant as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard to split them up in a way that makes it possible.

Dereferencing a user pointer directly from kernel-space without going through the copy_from_user family of functions is a bad idea. Two of such usages can be found in the sendmsg code path called from sendmmsg, added by commit c71d8ebe upstream. commit 5b47b8038f183b44d2d8ff1c7d11a5c1be706b34 in the 3.0-stable tree. Usages are performed through memcmp() and memcpy() directly. Fix those by using the already copied msg_sys structure instead of the __user *msg structure. Note that msg_sys can be set to NULL by verify_compat_iovec() or verify_iovec(), which requires additional NULL pointer checks.

The sendmmsg() introduced by commit 228e548e "net: Add sendmmsg socket system call" is capable of sending to multiple different destination addresses. SMACK is using destination's address for checking sendmsg() permission. However, security_socket_sendmsg() is called for only once even if multiple different destination addresses are passed to sendmmsg(). Therefore, we need to call security_socket_sendmsg() for each destination address rather than only the first destination address. Since calling security_socket_sendmsg() every time when only single destination address was passed to sendmmsg() is a waste of time, omit calling security_socket_sendmsg() unless destination address of previous datagram and that of current datagram differs.

sendmmsg uses a similar error return strategy as recvmmsg but it turns out to be a confusing way to communicate errors. The current code stores the error code away and returns it on the next sendmmsg call. This means a call with completely valid arguments could get an error from a previous call. Change things so we only return an error if no datagrams could be sent. If less than the requested number of messages were sent, the application must retry starting at the first failed one and if the problem is persistent the error will be returned. This matches the behaviour of other syscalls like read/write - it is not an error if less than the requested number of elements are sent.

For all I know, Appletalk is dead, the only reasonable use right now would be nostalgia, and that can be served well enough by old kernels. The code is largely not in a bad shape, but it still uses the big kernel lock, and nobody seems motivated to change that. FWIW, the last release of MacOS that supported Appletalk was MacOS X 10.5, made in 2007, and it has been abandoned by Apple with 10.6. Using TCP/IP instead of Appletalk has been supported since MacOS 7.6, which was released in 1997 and is able to run on most of the legacy hardware.

The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability. We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
