As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings. In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously. Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact works most of the time. However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't work in all cases. So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device down sequence to our advantage. In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false. The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method. This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before ->ndo_stop() clears them out. If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if it is NULL. Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading the pointer on us. Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers. We make sure the np->num_{rx,tx}_rings value is stable and visible before np->{rx,tx}_rings is. Such visibility control is not necessary on the niu_free_channels() side because of the RCU sequencing that happens during device down as described above. We are always guarenteed that all niu_get_stats calls are finished, or will see netif_running() false, by the time ->ndo_stop is invoked.

For the following rule: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -j CT --ctevents assured The event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Note that the TCP protocol state is not included. For that reason the CT event filtering is not very useful for conntrackd.

In my testing of 2.6.37 I was occassionally getting a warning about sysctl table entries being unregistered in the wrong order. Digging in it turns out this dates back to the last great sysctl reorg done where Al Viro introduced the requirement that sysctl directories needed to be created before and destroyed after the files in them. It turns out that in that great reorg /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh was overlooked. So this patch fixes that oversight and makes an annoying warning message go away. >------------[ cut here ]------------ >WARNING: at kernel/sysctl.c:1992 unregister_sysctl_table+0x134/0x164() >Pid: 23951, comm: kworker/u:3 Not tainted 2.6.37-350888.2010AroraKernelBeta.fc14.x86_64 #1 >Call Trace: > [<ffffffff8103e034>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 > [<ffffffff8103e061>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17 > [<ffffffff810452f8>] unregister_sysctl_table+0x134/0x164 > [<ffffffff810e7834>] ? kfree+0xc4/0xd1 > [<ffffffff813439b2>] neigh_sysctl_unregister+0x22/0x3a > [<ffffffffa02cd14e>] addrconf_ifdown+0x33f/0x37b [ipv6] > [<ffffffff81331ec2>] ? skb_dequeue+0x5f/0x6b > [<ffffffffa02ce4a5>] addrconf_notify+0x69b/0x75c [ipv6] > [<ffffffffa02eb953>] ? ip6mr_device_event+0x98/0xa9 [ipv6] > [<ffffffff813d2413>] notifier_call_chain+0x32/0x5e > [<ffffffff8105bdea>] raw_notifier_call_chain+0xf/0x11 > [<ffffffff8133cdac>] call_netdevice_notifiers+0x45/0x4a > [<ffffffff8133d2b0>] rollback_registered_many+0x118/0x201 > [<ffffffff8133d3af>] unregister_netdevice_many+0x16/0x6d > [<ffffffff8133d571>] default_device_exit_batch+0xa4/0xb8 > [<ffffffff81337c42>] ? cleanup_net+0x0/0x194 > [<ffffffff81337a2a>] ops_exit_list+0x4e/0x56 > [<ffffffff81337d36>] cleanup_net+0xf4/0x194 > [<ffffffff81053318>] process_one_work+0x187/0x280 > [<ffffffff8105441b>] worker_thread+0xff/0x19f > [<ffffffff8105431c>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x19f > [<ffffffff8105776d>] kthread+0x7d/0x85 > [<ffffffff81003824>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 > [<ffffffff810576f0>] ? kthread+0x0/0x85 > [<ffffffff81003820>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 >---[ end trace 8a7e9310b35e9486 ]--- Signed-off-by: NEric W.

When an IPSEC SA is still being set up, __xfrm_lookup() will return -EREMOTE and so ip_route_output_flow() will return a blackhole route. This can happen in a sndmsg call, and after d33e4553 ("net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.") this leads to a crash in ip_append_data() because the blackhole dst_ops have no default_mtu() method and so dst_mtu() calls a NULL pointer. Fix this by adding default_mtu() methods (that simply return 0, matching the old behavior) to the blackhole dst_ops. The IPv4 part of this patch fixes a crash that I saw when using an IPSEC VPN; the IPv6 part is untested because I don't have an IPv6 VPN, but it looks to be needed as well.

The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it. The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will be initiated without the lock which protects the stack. The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the current element in the list. The list may be modified during the unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer not pointing to correct next element. It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1, which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking ioctls is insufficient. A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict with: SIOCAX25ADDUID SIOCAIPXPRISLT SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6 SIOCGETSGCNT SIOCRSSCAUSE SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the the normal ioctl decode path. I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls. I have added a compat_ioctl function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket I am using. I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only works on raw sockets. I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal ipmr_ioctl. This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels. This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a 64bit kernel. Reported-by: NBill Fenner <fenner@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NEric W.
