      tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode · dbde4979
      Andrey Vagin 提交于
      snd_nxt must be updated synchronously with sk_send_head.  Otherwise
      tp->packets_out may be updated incorrectly, what may bring a kernel panic.
      
      Here is a kernel panic from my host.
      [  103.043194] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000048
      [  103.044025] IP: [<ffffffff815aaaaf>] tcp_rearm_rto+0xcf/0x150
      ...
      [  146.301158] Call Trace:
      [  146.301158]  [<ffffffff815ab7f0>] tcp_ack+0xcc0/0x12c0
      
      Before this panic a tcp socket was restored. This socket had sent and
      unsent data in the write queue. Sent data was restored in repair mode,
      then the socket was switched from reapair mode and unsent data was
      restored. After that the socket was switched back into repair mode.
      
      In that moment we had a socket where write queue looks like this:
      snd_una    snd_nxt   write_seq
         |_________|________|
                   |
      	  sk_send_head
      
      After a second switching from repair mode the state of socket was
      changed:
      
      snd_una          snd_nxt, write_seq
         |_________ ________|
                   |
      	  sk_send_head
      
      This state is inconsistent, because snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not
      synchronized.
      
      Bellow you can find a call trace, how packets_out can be incremented
      twice for one skb, if snd_nxt and sk_send_head are not synchronized.
      In this case packets_out will be always positive, even when
      sk_write_queue is empty.
      
      tcp_write_wakeup
      	skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
      	tcp_fragment
      		if (!before(tp->snd_nxt, TCP_SKB_CB(buff)->end_seq))
      			tcp_adjust_pcount(sk, skb, diff);
      	tcp_event_new_data_sent
      		tp->packets_out += tcp_skb_pcount(skb);
      
      I think update of snd_nxt isn't required, when a socket is switched from
      repair mode.  Because it's initialized in tcp_connect_init. Then when a
      write queue is restored, snd_nxt is incremented in tcp_event_new_data_sent,
      so it's always is in consistent state.
      
      I have checked, that the bug is not reproduced with this patch and
      all tests about restoring tcp connections work fine.

      xfrm: Release dst if this dst is improper for vti tunnel · 236c9f84
      fan.du 提交于
      After searching rt by the vti tunnel dst/src parameter,
      if this rt has neither attached to any transformation
      nor the transformation is not tunnel oriented, this rt
      should be released back to ip layer.
      
      otherwise causing dst memory leakage.

      core/dev: do not ignore dmac in dev_forward_skb() · 81b9eab5
      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      commit 06a23fe3
      ("core/dev: set pkt_type after eth_type_trans() in dev_forward_skb()")
      and refactoring 64261f23
      ("dev: move skb_scrub_packet() after eth_type_trans()")
      
      are forcing pkt_type to be PACKET_HOST when skb traverses veth.
      
      which means that ip forwarding will kick in inside netns
      even if skb->eth->h_dest != dev->dev_addr
      
      Fix order of eth_type_trans() and skb_scrub_packet() in dev_forward_skb()
      and in ip_tunnel_rcv()
      
      Fixes: 06a23fe3 ("core/dev: set pkt_type after eth_type_trans() in dev_forward_skb()")
