ipv4: dst_entry leak in ip_send_unicast_reply()

ip_setup_cork() called inside ip_append_data() steals dst entry from rt to cork
and in case errors in __ip_append_data() nobody frees stolen dst entry

tcp: md5: do not use alloc_percpu()

2014-11-05T09:03:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 349ce993ac706869d553a1816426d3a4bfda02b1 ]

percpu tcp_md5sig_pool contains memory blobs that ultimately
go through sg_set_buf().

-> sg_set_page(sg, virt_to_page(buf), buflen, offset_in_page(buf));

This requires that whole area is in a physically contiguous portion
of memory. And that @buf is not backed by vmalloc().

Given that alloc_percpu() can use vmalloc() areas, this does not
fit the requirements.

Replace alloc_percpu() by a static DEFINE_PER_CPU() as tcp_md5sig_pool
is small anyway, there is no gain to dynamically allocate it.

ipv4: fix nexthop attlen check in fib_nh_match

2014-11-05T09:03:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit f76936d07c4eeb36d8dbb64ebd30ab46ff85d9f7 ]

fib_nh_match does not match nexthops correctly. Example:

ip route add 172.16.10/24 nexthop via 192.168.122.12 dev eth0 \
                          nexthop via 192.168.122.13 dev eth0
ip route del 172.16.10/24 nexthop via 192.168.122.14 dev eth0 \
                          nexthop via 192.168.122.15 dev eth0

Del command is successful and route is removed. After this patch
applied, the route is correctly matched and result is:
RTNETLINK answers: No such process

Please consider this for stable trees as well.

tcp: fixing TLP's FIN recovery

[ Upstream commit bef1909ee3ed1ca39231b260a8d3b4544ecd0c8f ]

Fix to a problem observed when losing a FIN segment that does not
contain data.  In such situations, TLP is unable to recover from
*any* tail loss and instead adds at least PTO ms to the
retransmission process, i.e., RTO = RTO + PTO.

xfrm: Generate blackhole routes only from route lookup functions

2014-10-17T07:43:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit f92ee61982d6da15a9e49664ecd6405a15a2ee56 ]

Currently we genarate a blackhole route route whenever we have
matching policies but can not resolve the states. Here we assume
that dst_output() is called to kill the balckholed packets.
Unfortunately this assumption is not true in all cases, so
it is possible that these packets leave the system unwanted.

We fix this by generating blackhole routes only from the
route lookup functions, here we can guarantee a call to
dst_output() afterwards.

tcp: fix ssthresh and undo for consecutive short FRTO episodes

2014-10-17T07:43:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0c9ab09223fe9922baeb22546c9a90d774a4bde6 ]

Fix TCP FRTO logic so that it always notices when snd_una advances,
indicating that any RTO after that point will be a new and distinct
loss episode.

Previously there was a very specific sequence that could cause FRTO to
fail to notice a new loss episode had started:

(1) RTO timer fires, enter FRTO and retransmit packet 1 in write queue
(2) receiver ACKs packet 1
(3) FRTO sends 2 more packets
(4) RTO timer fires again (should start a new loss episode)

The problem was in step (3) above, where tcp_process_loss() returned
early (in the spot marked "Step 2.b"), so that it never got to the
logic to clear icsk_retransmits. Thus icsk_retransmits stayed
non-zero. Thus in step (4) tcp_enter_loss() would see the non-zero
icsk_retransmits, decide that this RTO is not a new episode, and
decide not to cut ssthresh and remember the current cwnd and ssthresh
for undo.

There were two main consequences to the bug that we have
observed. First, ssthresh was not decreased in step (4). Second, when
there was a series of such FRTO (1-4) sequences that happened to be
followed by an FRTO undo, we would restore the cwnd and ssthresh from
before the entire series started (instead of the cwnd and ssthresh
from before the most recent RTO). This could result in cwnd and
ssthresh being restored to values much bigger than the proper values.

[ Upstream commit 4fab9071950c2021d846e18351e0f46a1cffd67b ]

Make sure we use the correct address-family-specific function for
handling MTU reductions from within tcp_release_cb().

Previously AF_INET6 sockets were incorrectly always using the IPv6
code path when sometimes they were handling IPv4 traffic and thus had
an IPv4 dst.

tcp: Fix integer-overflow in TCP vegas

[ Upstream commit 1f74e613ded11517db90b2bd57e9464d9e0fb161 ]

In vegas we do a multiplication of the cwnd and the rtt. This
may overflow and thus their result is stored in a u64. However, we first
need to cast the cwnd so that actually 64-bit arithmetic is done.

Then, we need to do do_div to allow this to be used on 32-bit arches.
