tcp: force a dst refcount when prequeue packet

2013-05-19T17:54:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 093162553c33e9479283e107b4431378271c735d ]

Before escaping RCU protected section and adding packet into
prequeue, make sure the dst is refcounted.

tcp: implement RFC 5961 3.2

2013-01-11T17:07:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 282f23c6ee343126156dd41218b22ece96d747e3 ]

Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind
Reset attack using RST bit.

Idea is to validate incoming RST sequence,
to match RCV.NXT value, instead of previouly accepted
window : (RCV.NXT <= SEG.SEQ < RCV.NXT+RCV.WND)

If sequence is in window but not an exact match, send
a "challenge ACK", so that the other part can resend an
RST with the appropriate sequence.

Add a new sysctl, tcp_challenge_ack_limit, to limit
number of challenge ACK sent per second.

Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent.
(netstat -s | grep TCPChallengeACK)

Pull  cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
 "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
   file.  Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
  in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e.  the support for BUILD_BUG in
  linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
  kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As a band-aid, kernel.h
  was including  to pseudo link them.

  This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.  Here
  is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:

      CC      lib/string.o
      lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
      lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
      make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
      $
      $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
      #include 
      $

  We've included  for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
  still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
  very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.

  With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:

  1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
     implicit presence of BUG code.
  2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
     relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
  3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to 
  4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.

  During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.  But
  to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
  failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
  areas in advance.

Fix up conflicts (new radeon file, reiserfs header cleanups) as per Paul
and linux-next.

* tag 'bug-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so don't include it.
  bug: consolidate BUILD_BUG_ON with other bug code
  BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h
  bug.h: add include of it to various implicit C users
  lib: fix implicit users of kernel.h for TAINT_WARN
  spinlock: macroize assert_spin_locked to avoid bug.h dependency
  x86: relocate get/set debugreg fcns to include/asm/debugreg.

BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h

2012-03-04T22:54:34+00:00

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including  and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

tcp: fix comment for tp->highest_sack

2012-02-28T20:06:33+00:00

There was an off-by-one error in the comments describing the
highest_sack field in struct tcp_sock. The comments previously claimed
that it was the "start sequence of the highest skb with SACKed
bit". This commit fixes the comments to note that it is the "start
sequence of the skb just *after* the highest skb with SACKed bit".

net: Disambiguate kernel message

2012-02-01T19:41:50+00:00

Some of our machines were reporting:

TCP: too many of orphaned sockets

even when the number of orphaned sockets was well below the
limit.

We print a different message depending on whether we're out
of TCP memory or there are too many orphaned sockets.

Also move the check out of line and cleanup the messages
that were printed.

tcp: md5: protects md5sig_info with RCU

2012-02-01T07:11:47+00:00

This patch makes sure we use appropriate memory barriers before
publishing tp->md5sig_info, allowing tcp_md5_do_lookup() being used from
tcp_v4_send_reset() without holding socket lock (upcoming patch from
Shawn Lu)

Note we also need to respect rcu grace period before its freeing, since
we can free socket without this grace period thanks to
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU

tcp: md5: rcu conversion

2012-01-31T17:14:00+00:00

In order to be able to support proper RST messages for TCP MD5 flows, we
need to allow access to MD5 keys without locking listener socket.

This conversion is a nice cleanup, and shrinks size of timewait sockets
by 80 bytes.

IPv6 code reuses generic code found in IPv4 instead of duplicating it.

Control path uses GFP_KERNEL allocations instead of GFP_ATOMIC.
