neigh: recompute reachabletime before returning from neigh_periodic_work()

2014-03-13T22:19:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit feff9ab2e7fa773b6a3965f77375fe89f7fd85cf ]

If the neigh table's entries is less than gc_thresh1, the function
will return directly, and the reachabletime will not be recompute,
so the reachabletime can be guessed.

net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order allocations

2014-02-26T09:22:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit ed98df3361f059db42786c830ea96e2d18b8d4db ]

sock_alloc_send_pskb() & sk_page_frag_refill()
have a loop trying high order allocations to prepare
skb with low number of fragments as this increases performance.

Problem is that under memory pressure/fragmentation, this can
trigger OOM while the intent was only to try the high order
allocations, then fallback to order-0 allocations.

We had various reports from unexpected regressions.

According to David, setting __GFP_NORETRY should be fine,
as the asynchronous compaction is still enabled, and this
will prevent OOM from kicking as in :

CFSClientEventm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x42d0, order=3, oom_adj=0,
oom_score_adj=0, oom_score_badness=2 (enabled),memcg_scoring=disabled

Will be used by upcoming ipv4 forward path change that needs to

netpoll: fix netconsole IPv6 setup

[ Upstream commit 00fe11b3c67dc670fe6391d22f1fe64e7c99a8ec ]

Currently, to make netconsole start over IPv6, the source address
needs to be specified. Without a source address, netpoll_parse_options
assumes we're setting up over IPv4 and the destination IPv6 address is
rejected.

Check if the IP version has been forced by a source address before
checking for a version mismatch when parsing the destination address.

fuse: fix pipe_buf_operations

2014-02-13T21:50:10+00:00

commit 28a625cbc2a14f17b83e47ef907b2658576a32aa upstream.

Having this struct in module memory could Oops when if the module is
unloaded while the buffer still persists in a pipe.

Since sock_pipe_buf_ops is essentially the same as fuse_dev_pipe_buf_steal
merge them into nosteal_pipe_buf_ops (this is the same as
default_pipe_buf_ops except stealing the page from the buffer is not
allowed).

bpf: do not use reciprocal divide

[ Upstream commit aee636c4809fa54848ff07a899b326eb1f9987a2 ]

At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide
were not correct. (off by one in some cases)
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c

He could also show this with BPF:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c

The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough,
lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with
current cpus.

netpoll: Fix missing TXQ unlock and and OOPS.

[ Upstream commit aca5f58f9ba803ec8c2e6bcf890db17589e8dfcc ]

The VLAN tag handling code in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() has two problems.

1) It exits without unlocking the TXQ.

2) It then tries to queue a NULL skb to npinfo->txq.

vlan: Fix header ops passthru when doing TX VLAN offload.

2014-01-15T23:31:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2205369a314e12fcec4781cc73ac9c08fc2b47de ]

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads
in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to
be invoked directly.

But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's
header_ops up to the VLAN device.

This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops
routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but
will see a VLAN device instead.

Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange
to pass the proper real device instead.

To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header().  There are
implementations which provide a ->cache and ->create but not a
->rebuild (f.e. PLIP).  So we need a helper function just like
dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes.

Use this helper in the one existing place where the
header_ops->rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code.

With lots of help from Florian Westphal.
