Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them. Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just drop the incoming packets. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

Large Receive Offload (LRO) is only appropriate for packets that are destined for the host, and should be disabled if received packets may be forwarded. It can also confuse the GSO on output. Add dev_disable_lro() function which uses the appropriate ethtool ops to disable LRO if enabled. Add calls to dev_disable_lro() in br_add_if() and functions that enable IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding.

2008-06-18netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflowWang Chen1-10/+45
Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow. Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a positive @inc will cause allmulti be off. This is not what we want, though it's rare case. The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error. Change of v2: Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int. So callers can get the overflow error. Caller's fix will be done later. Change of v3: 1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR, KERN_WARNING is enough. 2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we return at once.

2008-06-18bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zeroJay Vosburgh1-0/+13
Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can be created via sysfs). Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created, but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is created to create and destroy files in net_class. Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <[email protected]>.

Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER) always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.

2008-06-16net: Fix test for VLAN TX checksum offload capabilityBen Hutchings1-8/+26
Selected device feature bits can be propagated to VLAN devices, so we can make use of TX checksum offload and TSO on VLAN-tagged packets. However, if the physical device does not do VLAN tag insertion or generic checksum offload then the test for TX checksum offload in dev_queue_xmit() will see a protocol of htons(ETH_P_8021Q) and yield false. This splits the checksum offload test into two functions: - can_checksum_protocol() tests a given protocol against a feature bitmask - dev_can_checksum() first tests the skb protocol against the device features; if that fails and the protocol is htons(ETH_P_8021Q) then it tests the encapsulated protocol against the effective device features for VLANs Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-04tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.Octavian Purdila1-2/+3
skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock. This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb" after the lock has been temporary dropped. Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

2008-06-03net: neighbour table ABI problemStephen Hemminger1-3/+3
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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

2008-05-08netns: Fix arbitrary net_device-s corruptions on net_ns stop.Pavel Emelyanov1-3/+5
When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

2008-05-02netns: Fix device renaming for sysfsDaniel Lezcano3-3/+10
When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the 'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is an object with the same name and this is the case because we are renaming the object with the same name. The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions 'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual network device [un]registering. This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject, followed by netdev_register_kobject. The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in 'dev_change_net_namespace'. This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is coming from -mm tree.

2008-04-24ethtool: EEPROM dump no longer works for tg3 and natsemiMandeep Singh Baines1-0/+5
In the ethtool user-space application, tg3 and natsemi over-ride the default implementation of dump_eeprom(). In both tg3_dump_eeprom() and natsemi_dump_eeprom(), there is a magic number check which is not present in the default implementation. Commit b131dd5d ("[ETHTOOL]: Add support for large eeproms") snipped the code which copied the ethtool_eeprom structure back to user-space. tg3 and natsemi are over-writing the magic number field and then checking it in user-space. With the ethtool_eeprom copy removed, the check is failing. The fix is simple. Add the ethtool_eeprom copy back. Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-23[RTNETLINK]: Fix bogus ASSERT_RTNL warningPatrick McHardy1-0/+6
ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is held. This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from wireless devices. Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates to process context since the locking seems overly complicated, for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to use mutex_is_locked().

2008-04-20[NET]: Expose netdevice dev_id through sysfsDavid Woodhouse1-0/+2
Expose dev_id to userspace, because it helps to disambiguate between interfaces where the MAC address is unique. This should allow us to simplify the handling of persistent naming for S390 network devices in udev -- because it can depend on a simple attribute of the device like the other match criteria, rather than having a special case for SUBSYSTEMS=="ccwgroup".

2008-04-18[NET]: Fix and allocate less memory for ->priv'less netdevicesAlexey Dobriyan1-6/+9
This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9ae1a5cebac363e38907266d5cd2eedf89 aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment." It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST removal. For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size" was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites. Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next 32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned. But, no ->priv, no need to do that.

2008-04-16[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment.Pavel Emelyanov1-1/+2
The alloc_netdev_mq() tries to produce 32-bytes alignment for both the net_device itself and its private data. The second alignment is achieved by adding the NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST to the whole size of the memory to be allocated. However, for those devices that do not need the private area, this addition just makes the net_device weight 1024 + 32 = 1068 bytes, i.e. consume twice as much memory. Since loopback device is such (sizeof_priv == 0 for it), and each net namespace creates one, this can save a noticeable amount of memory for kernel with net namespaces turned on. After this set the lo device is actually allocated from a size-1024 kmem cache on i386 box even with NETPOLL and WIRELESS_EXT turned on.
