Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside.

GRO assumes that there is a one-to-one relationship between NAPI structure and network device. Some devices like sky2 share multiple devices on a single interrupt so only have one NAPI handler. Rather than split GRO from NAPI, just have GRO assume if device changes that it is a different flow. Signed-off-by: NStephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454Signed-off-by: NAlexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO packets are normally non-linear in the payload). These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible. This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier it is still the norm. Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun in 2.6.29.

When I fixed the GRO crash in the legacy receive path I used napi_complete to replace __napi_complete. Unfortunately they're not the same when NETPOLL is enabled, which may result in us not calling __napi_complete at all. What's more, we really do need to keep the __napi_complete call within the IRQ-off section since in theory an IRQ can occur in between and fill up the backlog to the maximum, causing us to lock up. Since we can't seem to find a fix that works properly right now, this patch reverts all the GRO support from the netif_rx path.

On the legacy netif_rx path, I incorrectly tried to optimise the napi_complete call by using __napi_complete before we reenable IRQs. This simply doesn't work since we need to flush the held GRO packets first. This patch fixes it by doing the obvious thing of reenabling IRQs first and then calling napi_complete.

As my netpoll fix for net doesn't really work for net-next, we need this update to move the checks into the right place. As it stands we may pass freed skbs to netpoll_receive_skb. This patch also introduces a netpoll_rx_on function to avoid GRO completely if we're invoked through netpoll. This might seem paranoid but as netpoll may have an external receive hook it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't think we need this for 2.6.29 though since there's nothing immediately broken by it. This patch also moves the GRO_* return values to netdevice.h since VLAN needs them too (I tried to avoid this originally but alas this seems to be the easiest way out). This fixes a bug in VLAN where it continued to use the old return value 2 instead of the correct GRO_DROP. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll. Unfortunately it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry points. The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird problems. This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points. I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code). The reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

This patch fix a double free when a network namespace fails. The previous code does a kfree of the net_generic structure when one of the init subsystem initialization fails. The 'setup_net' function does kfree(ng) and returns an error. The caller, 'copy_net_ns', call net_free on error, and this one calls kfree(net->gen), making this pointer freed twice. This patch make the code symetric, the net_alloc does the net_generic allocation and the net_free frees the net_generic.
