net: bind() fix error return on wrong address family

2011-07-05T04:37:41Z

Hi, Reinhard Max also pointed out that the error should EAFNOSUPPORT according to POSIX. The Linux manpages have it as EINVAL, some other OSes (Minix, HPUX, perhaps BSD) use EAFNOSUPPORT. Windows uses WSAEFAULT according to MSDN. Other protocols error values in their af bind() methods in current mainline git as far as a brief look shows: EAFNOSUPPORT: atm, appletalk, l2tp, llc, phonet, rxrpc EINVAL: ax25, bluetooth, decnet, econet, ieee802154, iucv, netlink, netrom, packet, rds, rose, unix, x25, No check?: can/raw, ipv6/raw, irda, l2tp/l2tp_ip Ciao, Marcus Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner Cc: Reinhard Max Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.

2011-07-02T00:30:43Z

IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: Don't change dst->flags using assignments.

This blows away any flags already set in the entry. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

udp/recvmsg: Clear MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet

2011-06-22T05:34:27Z

Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags. However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will goto try_again loop to receive the next packet. But if the size of the next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong. Fix this problem by clearing MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet. Signed-off-by: Xufeng Zhang Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6/udp: Use the correct variable to determine non-blocking condition

2011-06-22T05:34:27Z

udpv6_recvmsg() function is not using the correct variable to determine whether or not the socket is in non-blocking operation, this will lead to unexpected behavior when a UDP checksum error occurs. Consider a non-blocking udp receive scenario: when udpv6_recvmsg() is called by sock_common_recvmsg(), MSG_DONTWAIT bit of flags variable in udpv6_recvmsg() is cleared by "flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT" in this call: err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(iocb, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); i.e. with udpv6_recvmsg() getting these values: int noblock = flags & MSG_DONTWAIT int flags = flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT So, when udp checksum error occurs, the execution will go to csum_copy_err, and then the problem happens: csum_copy_err: ............... if (flags & MSG_DONTWAIT) return -EAGAIN; goto try_again; ............... But it will always go to try_again as MSG_DONTWAIT has been cleared from flags at call time -- only noblock contains the original value of MSG_DONTWAIT, so the test should be: if (noblock) return -EAGAIN; This is also consistent with what the ipv4/udp code does.

[PATCH v2] net: rfs: enable RFS before first data packet is received First packet received on a passive tcp flow is not correctly RFS steered. One sock_rps_record_flow() call is missing in inet_accept() But before that, we also must record rxhash when child socket is setup.

netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handling

2011-06-16T15:27:04Z

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the process. These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue, netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP header instead. This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header if there is none in the packet. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Cavallari Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

net/ipv6: check for mistakenly passed in non-AF_INET6 sockaddrs

2011-06-06T21:48:16Z

Same check as for IPv4, also do for IPv6. (If you passed in a IPv4 sockaddr_in here, the sizeof check in the line before would have triggered already though.) Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner Cc: Reinhard Max Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ct refcount leak in l4proto->error()

2011-06-05T23:37:02Z

This patch fixes a refcount leak of ct objects that may occur if l4proto->error() assigns one conntrack object to one skbuff. In that case, we have to skip further processing in nf_conntrack_in(). With this patch, we can also fix wrong return values (-NF_ACCEPT) for special cases in ICMP[v6] that should not bump the invalid/error statistic counters.
