Revert "libceph: use memalloc flags for net IO"

2015-04-07T16:08:35Z

This reverts commit 89baaa570ab0b476db09408d209578cfed700e9f. Dirty page throttling should be sufficient for us in the general case so there is no need to use __GFP_MEMALLOC - it would be needed only in the swap-over-rbd case, which we currently don't support. (It would probably take approximately the commit that is being reverted to add that support, but we would also need the "swap" option to distinguish from the general case and make sure swap ceph_client-s aren't shared with anything else.) See ceph-devel threads [1] and [2] for the details of why enabling pfmemalloc reserves for all cases is a bad thing. On top of potential system lockups related to drained emergency reserves, this turned out to cause ceph lockups in case peers are on the same host and communicating via loopback due to sk_filter() dropping pfmemalloc skbs on the receiving side because the receiving loopback socket is not tagged with SOCK_MEMALLOC.

net: dsa: fix filling routing table from OF description

2015-04-06T21:31:37Z

According to description in 'include/net/dsa.h', in cascade switches configurations where there are more than one interconnected devices, 'rtable' array in 'dsa_chip_data' structure is used to indicate which port on this switch should be used to send packets to that are destined for corresponding switch. However, dsa_of_setup_routing_table() fills 'rtable' with port numbers of the _target_ switch, but not current one. This commit removes redundant devicetree parsing and adds needed port number as a function argument. So dsa_of_setup_routing_table() now just looks for target switch number by parsing parent of 'link' device node. To remove possible misunderstandings with the way of determining target switch number, a corresponding comment was added to the source code and to the DSA device tree bindings documentation file. This was tested on a custom board with two Marvell 88E6095 switches with following corresponding routing tables: { -1, 10 } and { 8, -1 }.

ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack

2015-04-06T20:12:49Z

We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process. ipv6 does not conform with this in three places: 1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size 2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should loop the packet back to the local socket 3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and force a wrong MTU Furthermore: In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device. Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting tunnel devices. Cc: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: don't allocate an id for dead netns

2015-04-03T16:36:31Z

First, let's explain the problem. Suppose you have an ipip interface that stands in the netns foo and its link part in the netns bar (so the netns bar has an nsid into the netns foo). Now, you remove the netns bar: - the bar nsid into the netns foo is removed - the netns exit method of ipip is called, thus our ipip iface is removed: => a netlink message is built in the netns foo to advertise this deletion => this netlink message requests an nsid for bar, thus a new nsid is allocated for bar and never removed. This patch adds a check in peernet2id() so that an id cannot be allocated for a netns which is currently destroyed. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.

tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range

2015-04-02T20:35:58Z

On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb. The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet SACKed. The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.
