neigh: recompute reachabletime before returning from neigh_periodic_work()

2014-03-24T04:44:00+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

2014-03-07T06:06:15+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

2014-02-13T21:55:27+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

2014-01-16T01:02:08+00:00

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.

net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding

2014-01-10T18:23:08+00:00

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:

- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
  instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
  lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
  control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
  watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
  when tso is disabled for lower device.

Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.

With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.

In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

netpoll: Fix missing TXQ unlock and and OOPS.

2014-01-03T00:50:52+00:00

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.
