net: move fib_rules_unregister() under rtnl lock

2015-04-03T00:52:34Z

We have to hold rtnl lock for fib_rules_unregister() otherwise the following race could happen: fib_rules_unregister(): fib_nl_delrule(): ... ... ... ops = lookup_rules_ops(); list_del_rcu(&ops->list); list_for_each_entry(ops->rules) { fib_rules_cleanup_ops(ops); ... list_del_rcu(); list_del_rcu(); } Note, net->rules_mod_lock is actually not needed at all, either upper layer netns code or rtnl lock guarantees we are safe.

netlink: Fix bugs in nlmsg_end() conversions.

2015-01-19T04:36:08Z

Commit 053c095a82cf ("netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void") didn't catch all of the cases where callers were breaking out on the return value being equal to zero, which they no longer should when zero means success. Fix all such cases. Reported-by: Marcel Holtmann Reported-by: Scott Feldman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void

2015-01-18T06:03:45Z

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

net: tcp: add RTAX_CC_ALGO fib handling

2015-01-06T03:55:24Z

This patch adds the minimum necessary for the RTAX_CC_ALGO congestion control metric to be set up and dumped back to user space. While the internal representation of RTAX_CC_ALGO is handled as a u32 key, we avoided to expose this implementation detail to user space, thus instead, we chose the netlink attribute that is being exchanged between user space to be the actual congestion control algorithm name, similarly as in the setsockopt(2) API in order to allow for maximum flexibility, even for 3rd party modules. It is a bit unfortunate that RTAX_QUICKACK used up a whole RTAX slot as it should have been stored in RTAX_FEATURES instead, we first thought about reusing it for the congestion control key, but it brings more complications and/or confusion than worth it.

neigh: remove dynamic neigh table registration support

2014-11-11T20:23:54Z

Currently there are only three neigh tables in the whole kernel: arp table, ndisc table and decnet neigh table. What's more, we don't support registering multiple tables per family. Therefore we can just make these tables statically built-in. Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
