Augment raw_send_hdrinc to correct for incorrect ip header length values
A series of oopses was reported to me recently. Apparently when using AF_RAW
sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation,
people could panic or BUG halt their systems.
I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an
AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1.
Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes
only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number,
one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call. In
raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr
that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid. Later during ipsec
encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff
to provide headroom for the ipsec headers. During this operation, the
skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by
skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl). Since so little data was
passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point
transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes.
This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of
iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket. If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer
size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL. I just confirmed this fixes the
reported crashes.

Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years
were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients
that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be
converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the
listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished.
Then application server can decide to wait longer for data
or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read()
returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after
the deferring period. This change still can have side effects
for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted
socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or
without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can
ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for
clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring
period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not
as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't
send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs.
Thanks to Willy Tarreau for the initial idea and to
Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.
This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :
TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this
can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will
make to complete the connection. This option should not
be used in code intended to be portable.
Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :
case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
if (val > 0) {
/* Translate value in seconds to number of
* retransmits */
while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
}
break;
==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.
But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
successfully by me.
Notes:
1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.
2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every

route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper
Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can

.vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
};
setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));
This leads (in the kernel) to calling vif_add() function call which
search the (physical) device using assigned IP address:
dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr);
The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an
interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a

tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag
Before this patch :
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE);
causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK);
will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty.
User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode
but pipe in nonblock more.
Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw.
http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEADhttp://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html
Linus introduced SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e350944f
(splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag )
It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the
actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they
have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations
nonblocking.
Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only
This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK

Users will then call :

to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode),
and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock)

This patch against v2.6.31 adds support for route lookup using sk_mark in some
more places. The benefits from this patch are the following.
First, SO_MARK option now has effect on UDP sockets too.
Second, ip_queue_xmit() and inet_sk_rebuild_header() could fail to do routing
lookup correctly if TCP sockets with SO_MARK were used.

Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK
and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero.
This fixes the following observed behavior:
1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale
value to a Linux box.
2. Linux box notes large receive window from client.
3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part.
4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to
send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all.
With the following result:
Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no
TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is
supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had TCP window scale
option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server
regarding window sizes.
Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice):
1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server.
2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale.
3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does
not to set windows scale TCP option header on SYN.
With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option
due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal
performance.

Fix trivial conflict as by Tejun Heo in kernel/sched.c
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:
*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter.
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
table, which might be unnecessary.
The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks
to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.
Noted in 'next' by Stephen Rothwell.
This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:
inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.
page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock
mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim
David raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.
But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.

Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not
accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops
are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated.
IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing,
but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats.
This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated,
regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket.
Example after an UDP tx flood
# netstat -s
...
IP:
1487048 outgoing packets dropped
...
Udp:
...
SndbufErrors: 1487048
send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not
break applications.
Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error :
"The output queue for a network interface was full.
This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
but may be caused by transient congestion.
(Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently
dropped when a device queue overflows.) "
This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall
that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.

RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts,
which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value.
Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds
in number of allowed retransmissions.
For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2
(by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out
earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed
pattern, namely exponential backoff.
However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be
reverted, as it is the case in the draft
"Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions"
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd).
In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the
initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted.
This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N),
which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial
RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions.
Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter
to some value N, this function can be used, instead.
The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions
can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is
similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same
scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there
should be no risk of a regression.

Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to
TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has
not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure
somewhere along the path.
With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the
patched TCP will operate as standard TCP.
This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable
message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives.
Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the
remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission
is sent out immediately.
Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if
there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already.

Say twdr->slot = 1 and we are running inet_twdr_hangman and in this
instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will
mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make
twdr->slot = 2.
Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo)
is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will
place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1.
At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start
destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added
TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one.
To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the
slot have been purged.
This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row
period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge
the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl
settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we
would probably see delays...

max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates
it's function.
Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed.
max_work only limits amount of work done per resize.
(limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc).

Kernel 2.6.30 introduced a patch [1] for the persistent option in the

The patch below fixes this.
Also note that because of this the default behavior of the SNAT target has
changed since kernel 2.6.30 as it now ignores the destination IP in choosing
the source IP for nating (which should only be the case if the persistent
option is set).

The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

required to be unconditional or there would be a stochastical chance
for the policy rule to be skipped if it does not match. If that were
to happen, rule execution would continue in an unexpected spurious
fashion.

The "hook_entry" and "underflow" array contains values even for hooks
not provided, such as PREROUTING in conjunction with the "filter"
table. Usually, the values point to whatever the next rule is. For
the upcoming unconditionality and underflow checking patches however,
we must not inspect that arbitrary rule.
Skipping unassigned hooks seems like a good idea, also because
newinfo->hook_entry and newinfo->underflow will then continue to have
the poison value for detecting abnormalities.

Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init
Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values
(set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized
dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical.
This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on
the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that
we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as
the routing table can.
For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash
buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage
collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 *
gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size.
For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size,
but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems
sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half
the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4
code does).

Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops
Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec
connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections
eventually.
It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to
create more. A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops
structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always
dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh.
It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in
the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so
that higher volumes of connections can be supported. This patch has
been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection
volume successfully.

During large updates there could be triggered warnings like: "Fix
inflate_threshold_root. Now=25 size=11 bits" if inflate() of the root
node isn't finished in 10 loops. It should be much rarer now, after
changing the threshold from 15 to 25, and a temporary problem, so
this patch tries to handle it automatically using a fix variable to
increase by one inflate threshold for next root resizes (up to the 35
limit, max fix = 10). The fix variable is decreased when root's
inflate() finishes below 7 loops (even if some other, smaller table/
trie is updated -- for simplicity the fix variable is global for now).

During trie_rebalance() we free memory after resizing with call_rcu(),
but large updates, especially with PREEMPT_NONE configs, can cause
memory stresses, so this patch calls synchronize_rcu() in
tnode_free_flush() after each sync_pages to guarantee such freeing
(especially before resizing the root node).
The value of sync_pages = 128 is based on Pawel Staszewski's tests as
the lowest which doesn't hinder updating times. (For testing purposes
there was a sysfs module parameter to change it on demand, but it's
removed until we're sure it could be really useful.)

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.
Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
CPU1 CPU2
sys_select receive packet
... ...
__add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
... ...
tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
... {
schedule ...
if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
...
}
If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.
It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
of a minimally longer searching.

According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
patch resets to safer defaults.

When route caching is disabled (rt_caching returns false), We still use route
cache entries that are created and passed into rt_intern_hash once. These
routes need to be made usable for the one call path that holds a reference to
them, and they need to be reclaimed when they're finished with their use. To be
made usable, they need to be associated with a neighbor table entry (which they
currently are not), otherwise iproute_finish2 just discards the packet, since we
don't know which L2 peer to send the packet to. To do this binding, we need to
follow the path a bit higher up in rt_intern_hash, which calls
arp_bind_neighbour, but not assign the route entry to the hash table.
Currently, if caching is off, we simply assign the route to the rp pointer and
are reutrn success. This patch associates us with a neighbor entry first.
Secondly, we need to make sure that any single use routes like this are known to
the garbage collector when caching is off. If caching is off, and we try to
hash in a route, it will leak when its refcount reaches zero. To avoid this,
this patch calls rt_free on the route cache entry passed into rt_intern_hash.
This places us on the gc list for the route cache garbage collector, so that
when its refcount reaches zero, it will be reclaimed (Thanks to Alexey for this
suggestion).
I've tested this on a local system here, and with these patches in place, I'm
able to maintain routed connectivity to remote systems, even if I set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count to -1, which forces rt_caching to
return false.

Don't drop route if we're not caching
I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup. Maxime was
testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting
making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops. I
looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route
lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good),
but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad). This happens because
in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0.
This almost emulates slient success. What we should be doing is assigning *rp =
rt and _not_ dropping the route. This way, during slow path lookups, when we
create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just
don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for
the purpose of this route request. Maxime has tested and reports it prevents
the oops. There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into
further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this
patch makes sense to take.
