net: drop dst before queueing fragments

2013-05-01T16:41:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 97599dc792b45b1669c3cdb9a4b365aad0232f65 ]

Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path)
added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, as non refcounted
dst could escape an RCU protected section.

Commit 64f3b9e203bd068 (net: ip_expire() must revalidate route) fixed
the case of timeouts, but not the general problem.

Tom Parkin noticed crashes in UDP stack and provided a patch,
but further analysis permitted us to pinpoint the root cause.

Before queueing a packet into a frag list, we must drop its dst,
as this dst has limited lifetime (RCU protected)

When/if a packet is finally reassembled, we use the dst of the very
last skb, still protected by RCU and valid, as the dst of the
reassembled packet.

Use same logic in IPv6, as there is no need to hold dst references.

tcp: call tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack()

2013-05-01T16:41:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 12fb3dd9dc3c64ba7d64cec977cca9b5fb7b1d4e ]

commit bd090dfc634d (tcp: tcp_replace_ts_recent() should not be called
from tcp_validate_incoming()) introduced a TS ecr bug in slow path
processing.

1 A > B P. 1:10001(10000) ack 1 
2 B < A . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 257 
3 A > B . 1:1001(1000) ack 1 win 227 
4 A > B . 1001:2001(1000) ack 1 win 227 

(ecr 200 should be ecr 300 in packets 3 & 4)

Problem is tcp_ack() can trigger send of new packets (retransmits),
reflecting the prior TSval, instead of the TSval contained in the
currently processed incoming packet.

Fix this by calling tcp_replace_ts_recent() from tcp_ack() after the
checks, but before the actions.

tcp: Reallocate headroom if it would overflow csum_start

2013-05-01T16:41:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 50bceae9bd3569d56744882f3012734d48a1d413 ]

If a TCP retransmission gets partially ACKed and collapsed multiple
times it is possible for the headroom to grow beyond 64K which will
overflow the 16bit skb->csum_start which is based on the start of
the headroom. It has been observed rarely in the wild with IPoIB due
to the 64K MTU.

Verify if the acking and collapsing resulted in a headroom exceeding
what csum_start can cover and reallocate the headroom if so.

A big thank you to Jim Foraker  and the team at
LLNL for helping out with the investigation and testing.

tcp: incoming connections might use wrong route under synflood

2013-05-01T16:41:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit d66954a066158781ccf9c13c91d0316970fe57b6 ]

There is a bug in cookie_v4_check (net/ipv4/syncookies.c):
	flowi4_init_output(&fl4, 0, sk->sk_mark, RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk),
			   RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, IPPROTO_TCP,
			   inet_sk_flowi_flags(sk),
			   (opt && opt->srr) ? opt->faddr : ireq->rmt_addr,
			   ireq->loc_addr, th->source, th->dest);

Here we do not respect sk->sk_bound_dev_if, therefore wrong dst_entry may be
taken. This dst_entry is used by new socket (get_cookie_sock ->
tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock), so its packets may take the wrong path.

tcp: undo spurious timeout after SACK reneging

2013-04-05T17:04:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7ebe183c6d444ef5587d803b64a1f4734b18c564 ]

On SACK reneging the sender immediately retransmits and forces a
timeout but disables Eifel (undo). If the (buggy) receiver does not
drop any packet this can trigger a false slow-start retransmit storm
driven by the ACKs of the original packets. This can be detected with
undo and TCP timestamps.

tcp: preserve ACK clocking in TSO

2013-04-05T17:04:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4541d60a449afd40448b06496dcd510f505928e ]

A long standing problem with TSO is the fact that tcp_tso_should_defer()
rearms the deferred timer, while it should not.

Current code leads to following bad bursty behavior :

inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-28T19:11:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ]

This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash
table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat
arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with
empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should
just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu.

If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed.
This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish
between the different users of inet_fragment.c.

I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path,
because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

tcp: fix skb_availroom()

[ Upstream commit 16fad69cfe4adbbfa813de516757b87bcae36d93 ]

Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack :

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056

commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx
path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while
what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one.

It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of
partially acked frames) and this commit.

Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size'
management (and should not be aware)

net/ipv4: Ensure that location of timestamp option is stored

2013-03-28T19:11:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4660c7f498c07c43173142ea95145e9dac5a6d14 ]

This is needed in order to detect if the timestamp option appears
more than once in a packet, to remove the option if the packet is
fragmented, etc. My previous change neglected to store the option
location when the router addresses were prespecified and Pointer >
Length. But now the option location is also stored when Flag is an
unrecognized value, to ensure these option handling behaviors are
still performed.
