ipvs: avoid netns exit crash on ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack

2014-07-16T00:39:28Z

commit 8f4e0a18682d91 ("IPVS netns exit causes crash in conntrack") added second ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack call instead of just adding the needed check. As result, the first call still can cause crash on netns exit. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Hans Schillstrom Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

ipvs: stop tot_stats estimator only under CONFIG_SYSCTL

2014-06-13T07:22:25Z

The tot_stats estimator is started only when CONFIG_SYSCTL is defined. But it is stopped without checking CONFIG_SYSCTL. Fix the crash by moving ip_vs_stop_estimator into ip_vs_control_net_cleanup_sysctl. The change is needed after commit 14e405461e664b ("IPVS: Add __ip_vs_control_{init,cleanup}_sysctl()") from 2.6.39.

inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count

2014-06-02T18:00:41Z

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP generator. linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge cost on servers disabling MTU discovery. 1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes 2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs, with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load. 3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth is about 20. 4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id()) 5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively. IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect' Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time, so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments with a recycled ID. We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP as a key. ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it belongs (it is only used from this file) secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed. Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next This small patchset contains three accumulated Netfilter/IPVS updates, they are: 1) Refactorize common NAT code by encapsulating it into a helper function, similarly to what we do in other conntrack extensions, from Florian Westphal. 2) A minor format string mismatch fix for IPVS, from Masanari Iida. 3) Add quota support to the netfilter accounting infrastructure, now you can add quotas to accounting objects via the nfnetlink interface and use them from iptables. You can also listen to quota notifications from userspace. This enhancement from Mathieu Poirier. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipvs: Fix panic due to non-linear skb

2014-05-26T01:22:46Z

Receiving a ICMP response to an IPIP packet in a non-linear skb could cause a kernel panic in __skb_pull. The problem was introduced in commit f2edb9f7706dcb2c0d9a362b2ba849efe3a97f5e ("ipvs: implement passive PMTUD for IPIP packets").

net: rename local_df to ignore_df

As suggested by several people, rename local_df to ignore_df, since it means "ignore df bit if it is set". Cc: Maciej Żenczykowski Cc: Florian Westphal Cc: David S. Miller Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Acked-by: Maciej Żenczykowski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next, most relevantly they are: * cleanup to remove double semicolon from stephen hemminger. * calm down sparse warning in xt_ipcomp, from Fan Du. * nf_ct_labels support for nf_tables, from Florian Westphal. * new macros to simplify rcu dereferences in the scope of nfnetlink and nf_tables, from Patrick McHardy. * Accept queue and drop (including reason for drop) to verdict parsing in nf_tables, also from Patrick. * Remove unused random seed initialization in nfnetlink_log, from Florian Westphal. * Allow to attach user-specific information to nf_tables rules, useful to attach user comments to rule, from me. * Return errors in ipset according to the manpage documentation, from Jozsef Kadlecsik. * Fix coccinelle warnings related to incorrect bool type usage for ipset, from Fengguang Wu. * Add hash:ip,mark set type to ipset, from Vytas Dauksa. * Fix message for each spotted by ipset for each netns that is created, from Ilia Mirkin. * Add forceadd option to ipset, which evicts a random entry from the set if it becomes full, from Josh Hunt. * Minor IPVS cleanups and fixes from Andi Kleen and Tingwei Liu. * Improve conntrack scalability by removing a central spinlock, original work from Eric Dumazet. Jesper Dangaard Brouer took them over to address remaining issues. Several patches to prepare this change come in first place. * Rework nft_hash to resolve bugs (leaking chain, missing rcu synchronization on element removal, etc. from Patrick McHardy. * Restore context in the rule deletion path, as we now release rule objects synchronously, from Patrick McHardy. This gets back event notification for anonymous sets. * Fix NAT family validation in nft_nat, also from Patrick. * Improve scalability of xt_connlimit by using an array of spinlocks and by introducing a rb-tree of hashtables for faster lookup of accounted objects per network. This patch was preceded by several patches and refactorizations to accomodate this change including the use of kmem_cache, from Florian Westphal. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
