      bonding: fix a div error caused by the slave release path · ee6154e1
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      There's a bug in the slave release function which leads the transmit
      functions which use the bond->slave_cnt to a div by 0 because we might
      just have released our last slave and made slave_cnt == 0 but at the same
      time we may have a transmitter after the check for an empty list which will
      fetch it and use it in the slave id calculation.
      Fix it by moving the slave_cnt after synchronize_rcu so if this was our
      last slave any new transmitters will see an empty slave list which is
      checked after rcu lock but before calling the mode transmit functions
      which rely on bond->slave_cnt.

      ====================
      Fix RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/rtnetlink.c
      
      The commit 1d3ee88a
      (bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev)
      make the bond_set_active_slave() and bond_set_backup_slave()
      use rtmsg_ifinfo to send slave's states and this functions
      should be called in RTNL.
      
      But the 902.3ad and ARP monitor did not hold the RTNL when calling
      thses two functions, so fix them.
      
      v1->v2: Add new micro to indicate that the notification should be send
              later, not never.
              And add a new patch to fix the same problem for ARP mode.
      
      v2->v3: modify the bond_should_notify to should_notify_rtnl, it is more
      	reasonable, and	use bool for should_notify_rtnl.

      bonding: Fix RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/rtnetlink.c for ab arp monitor · b0929915
      dingtianhong authored
      Veaceslav has reported and fix this problem by commit f2ebd477
      (bonding: restructure locking of bond_ab_arp_probe()). According Jay's
      opinion, the current solution is not very well, because the notification
      is to indicate that the interface has actually changed state in a meaningful
      way, but these calls in the ab ARP monitor are internal settings of the flags
      to allow the ARP monitor to search for a slave to become active when there are
      no active slaves. The flag setting to active or backup is to permit the ARP
      monitor's response logic to do the right thing when deciding if the test
      slave (current_arp_slave) is up or not.
      
      So the best way to fix the problem is that we should not send a notification
      when the slave is in testing state, and check the state at the end of the
      monitor, if the slave's state recover, avoid to send pointless notification
      twice. And RTNL is really a big lock, hold it regardless the slave's state
      changed or not when the current_active_slave is null will loss performance
      (every 100ms), so we should hold it only when the slave's state changed and
      need to notify.
      
      I revert the old commit and add new modifications.

      bonding: Fix RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/rtnetlink.c for 802.3ad mode · 5e5b0665
      dingtianhong authored
      The problem was introduced by the commit 1d3ee88a
      (bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev).
      The bond_set_active_slave() and bond_set_backup_slave()
      will use rtmsg_ifinfo to send slave's states, so these
      two functions should be called in RTNL.
      
      In 802.3ad mode, acquiring RTNL for the __enable_port and
      __disable_port cases is difficult, as those calls generally
      already hold the state machine lock, and cannot unconditionally
      call rtnl_lock because either they already hold RTNL (for calls
      via bond_3ad_unbind_slave) or due to the potential for deadlock
      with bond_3ad_adapter_speed_changed, bond_3ad_adapter_duplex_changed,
      bond_3ad_link_change, or bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate.  All four of
      those are called with RTNL held, and acquire the state machine lock
      second.  The calling contexts for __enable_port and __disable_port
      already hold the state machine lock, and may or may not need RTNL.
      
      According to the Jay's opinion, I don't think it is a problem that
      the slave don't send notify message synchronously when the status
      changed, normally the state machine is running every 100 ms, send
      the notify message at the end of the state machine if the slave's
      state changed should be better.
      
      I fix the problem through these steps:
      
      1). add a new function bond_set_slave_state() which could change
          the slave's state and call rtmsg_ifinfo() according to the input
          parameters called notify.
      
      2). Add a new slave parameter which called should_notify, if the slave's state
          changed and don't notify yet, the parameter will be set to 1, and then if
          the slave's state changed again, the param will be set to 0, it indicate that
          the slave's state has been restored, no need to notify any one.
      
      3). the __enable_port and __disable_port should not call rtmsg_ifinfo
          in the state machine lock, any change in the state of slave could
          set a flag in the slave, it will indicated that an rtmsg_ifinfo
          should be called at the end of the state machine.

      net: tcp: use NET_INC_STATS() · 9a9bfd03
      Eric Dumazet authored
      While LINUX_MIB_TCPSPURIOUS_RTX_HOSTQUEUES can only be incremented
      in tcp_transmit_skb() from softirq (incoming message or timer
      activation), it is better to use NET_INC_STATS() instead of
      NET_INC_STATS_BH() as tcp_transmit_skb() can be called from process
      context.
      
      This will avoid copy/paste confusion when/if we want to add
      other SNMP counters in tcp_transmit_skb()

      xfrm: Fix unlink race when policies are deleted. · 3a9016f9
      Steffen Klassert authored
      When a policy is unlinked from the lists in thread context,
      the xfrm timer can fire before we can mark this policy as dead.
      So reinitialize the bydst hlist, then hlist_unhashed() will
      notice that this policy is not linked and will avoid a
      doulble unlink of that policy.

      ipv6: reuse ip6_frag_id from ip6_ufo_append_data · 916e4cf4
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
      Currently we generate a new fragmentation id on UFO segmentation. It
      is pretty hairy to identify the correct net namespace and dst there.
      Especially tunnels use IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE and thus have no skb_dst
      available at all.
      
      This causes unreliable or very predictable ipv6 fragmentation id
      generation while segmentation.
      
      Luckily we already have pregenerated the ip6_frag_id in
      ip6_ufo_append_data and can use it here.

      net: sctp: rework multihoming retransmission path selection to rfc4960 · 4c47af4d
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Problem statement: 1) both paths (primary path1 and alternate
      path2) are up after the association has been established i.e.,
      HB packets are normally exchanged, 2) path2 gets inactive after
      path_max_retrans * max_rto timed out (i.e. path2 is down completely),
      3) now, if a transmission times out on the only surviving/active
      path1 (any ~1sec network service impact could cause this like
      a channel bonding failover), then the retransmitted packets are
      sent over the inactive path2; this happens with partial failover
      and without it.
      
      Besides not being optimal in the above scenario, a small failure
      or timeout in the only existing path has the potential to cause
      long delays in the retransmission (depending on RTO_MAX) until
      the still active path is reselected. Further, when the T3-timeout
      occurs, we have active_patch == retrans_path, and even though the
      timeout occurred on the initial transmission of data, not a
      retransmit, we end up updating retransmit path.
      
      RFC4960, section 6.4. "Multi-Homed SCTP Endpoints" states under
      6.4.1. "Failover from an Inactive Destination Address" the
      following:
      
        Some of the transport addresses of a multi-homed SCTP endpoint
        may become inactive due to either the occurrence of certain
        error conditions (see Section 8.2) or adjustments from the
        SCTP user.
      
        When there is outbound data to send and the primary path
        becomes inactive (e.g., due to failures), or where the SCTP
        user explicitly requests to send data to an inactive
        destination transport address, before reporting an error to
        its ULP, the SCTP endpoint should try to send the data to an
        alternate __active__ destination transport address if one
        exists.
      
        When retransmitting data that timed out, if the endpoint is
        multihomed, it should consider each source-destination address
        pair in its retransmission selection policy. When retransmitting
        timed-out data, the endpoint should attempt to pick the most
        divergent source-destination pair from the original
        source-destination pair to which the packet was transmitted.
      
        Note: Rules for picking the most divergent source-destination
        pair are an implementation decision and are not specified
        within this document.
      
      So, we should first reconsider to take the current active
      retransmission transport if we cannot find an alternative
      active one. If all of that fails, we can still round robin
      through unkown, partial failover, and inactive ones in the
      hope to find something still suitable.
      
      Commit 4141ddc0 ("sctp: retran_path update bug fix") broke
      that behaviour by selecting the next inactive transport when
      no other active transport was found besides the current assoc's
      peer.retran_path. Before commit 4141ddc0, we would have
      traversed through the list until we reach our peer.retran_path
      again, and in case that is still in state SCTP_ACTIVE, we would
      take it and return. Only if that is not the case either, we
      take the next inactive transport.
      
      Besides all that, another issue is that transports in state
      SCTP_UNKNOWN could be preferred over transports in state
      SCTP_ACTIVE in case a SCTP_ACTIVE transport appears after
      SCTP_UNKNOWN in the transport list yielding a weaker transport
      state to be used in retransmission.
      
      This patch mostly reverts 4141ddc0, but also rewrites
      this function to introduce more clarity and strictness into
      the code. A strict priority of transport states is enforced
      in this patch, hence selection is active > unkown > partial
      failover > inactive.
