      dccp: allow probing of CCID-array length · 69a6a0b3
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
      for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
      DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
      EINVAL is no longer returned.
      
      This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
      when the length is <= 0.
      
      Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
      minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
      CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

      dccp: fix bug in cache allocation · 8ed030dd
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86c
      ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the
      vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since
      slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.
      
      This lead to error messages such as
       FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available
      
       >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci
      generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character.
      
      Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.

      dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub · de4ef86c
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Hey all-
      	I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
      kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module.  The bug halt occured because the page
      that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
      implementation of kfree.  I tracked the problem down to the following set of
      events:
      
      1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
      dynamically when registering a slab cache.  This allocated string is freed when
      the cache is destroyed.
      
      2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
      caches are 'merged'.  This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
      configuration to use the same cache data structure.  When this happens, the new
      name of the cache is effectively dropped.
      
      3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
      ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
      for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
      returned.
      
      4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
      which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
      not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
      section.
      
      So, what to do about this.  At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
      information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug.  Unfortunately, theres no
      really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
      to the generic slab interface.  Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
      I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
      only in slub, but in every slab allocator.  As such, I'd like to propose this
      solution.  Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
      ccid_operations structure.  In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
      kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
      problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
      other calls to kmem_cache_create do.
      
      I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

      dccp: Query supported CCIDs · d90ebcbf
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
      and three accessor functions:
       - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
         made by the user;
       - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;   
       - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.
      
      The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
      list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).
      
      Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
      feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
      CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation 
      will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

      dccp: Auto-load (when supported) CCID plugins for negotiation · 09856c10
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This adds auto-loading of CCIDs (when module loading is enabled) 
      for the purpose of feature negotiation. 
      
      The problem with loading the CCIDs at the end of feature negotiation is
      that this would happen in software interrupt context. Besides, if the host
      advertises CCIDs during negotiation, it should have them ready to use, in
      case an agreeing peer wants to use it for the connection.

      dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interface · 78673e24
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
      case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
      feature negotiation may be something different.
      
      The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
      interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs earlier in this
      patch set.
      
      Also removed the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
      switch rx/non-rx is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is
      the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).
