      net/core: neighbour update Oops · 91a72a70
      Doug Kehn 提交于
      When configuring DMVPN (GRE + openNHRP) and a GRE remote
      address is configured a kernel Oops is observed.  The
      obserseved Oops is caused by a NULL header_ops pointer
      (neigh->dev->header_ops) in neigh_update_hhs() when
      
      void (*update)(struct hh_cache*, const struct net_device*, const unsigned char *)
      = neigh->dev->header_ops->cache_update;
      
      is executed.  The dev associated with the NULL header_ops is
      the GRE interface.  This patch guards against the
      possibility that header_ops is NULL.
      
      This Oops was first observed in kernel version 2.6.26.8.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      neigh: Convert garbage collection from softirq to workqueue · e4c4e448
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and
      scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact)
      
      As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means
      neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number
      of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table)
      
      Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing
      icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly
      of hash table size.
      
      This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one.

      neigh: fix state transition INCOMPLETE->FAILED via Netlink request · 5ef12d98
      Timo Teras 提交于
      The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from
      the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply.
      This also causes the transtion to FAILED state.
      
      However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the
      address is unavailable.  Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and
      leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in
      the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection.
      
      This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if
      INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.

      netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic · 1ce85fe4
      Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
      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.

      core: add stat to track unresolved discards in neighbor cache · 9a6d276e
      Neil Horman 提交于
      in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in
      NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour
      to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3
      skbs.  If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on
      the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb.  This results in a drop
      for which we have no statistics incremented.  This patch adds an
      unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these
      lost frames.

      net: neighbour table ABI problem · b9f5f52c
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
      incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
      milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
      real system HZ value which is problematic.  Linux has standardized on
      keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
      internally at some other value.
      
      This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
      iproute2 utilities.  But these utilities are already broken since they
      are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
      let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
      utilities will just print wrong values.

      [NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3). · fa86d322
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
      of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
      should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. 
      
      There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() 
      uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.
      
      This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after 
      the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped 
      and the deleting procedure may proceed.
      
      One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
      problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too 
      big for -rc4.
      
      So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
      to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
      the flags on alive pneigh entry.
      
      
      Changes from v2:
      As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. 
      The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL 
      does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the 
      exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.
      
      Changes from v1:
      Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header
      and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed
      by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized
      by gcc.
