Jon Maxwell says: ==================== tcp: improve setsockopt() TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accuracy The patch was becoming bigger based on feedback therefore I have implemented a series of 3 commits instead in V4. This series is a continuation based on V3 here and associated feedback: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10516195/ Suggestions by Neal Cardwell: 1) Fix up units mismatch regarding msec/jiffies. 2) Address possiblility of time_remaining being negative. 3) Add a helper routine tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() to do the rto calculation. 4) Move start_ts logic into helper routine tcp_retrans_stamp() to validate tcp_sk(sk)->retrans_stamp. 5) Some u32 declation and return refactoring. 6) Return 0 instead of false in tcp_retransmit_stamp(), it's not a bool. Suggestions by David Laight: 1) Don't cache rto in tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout(). Suggestions by Eric Dumazet: 1) Make u32 declartions consistent. 2) Use patch series for easier review. 3) Convert icsk->icsk_user_timeout to millisconds to avoid jiffie to msec dance. 4) Use seperate titles for each commit in the series. 5) Fix fuzzy indentation and line wrap issues. 6) Make commit titles descriptive. Changes: 1) Call tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout(sk) as an argument to inet_csk_reset_xmit_timer() to save on rto declaration. Every time the TCP retransmission timer fires. It checks to see if there is a timeout before scheduling the next retransmit timer. The retransmit interval between each retransmission increases exponentially. The issue is that in order for the timeout to occur the retransmit timer needs to fire again. If the user timeout check happens after the 9th retransmit for example. It needs to wait for the 10th retransmit timer to fire in order to evaluate whether a timeout has occurred or not. If the interval is large enough then the timeout will be inaccurate. For example with a TCP_USER_TIMEOUT of 10 seconds without patch: 1st retransmit: 22:25:18.973488 IP host1.49310 > host2.search-agent: Flags [.] Last retransmit: 22:25:26.205499 IP host1.49310 > host2.search-agent: Flags [.] Timeout: send: Connection timed out Sun Jul 1 22:25:34 EDT 2018 We can see that last retransmit took ~7 seconds. Which pushed the total timeout to ~15 seconds instead of the expected 10 seconds. This gets more inaccurate the larger the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT value. As the interval increases. Add tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() to determine if the user rto has expired. Or whether the rto interval needs to be recalculated. Use the original interval if user rto is not set. Test results with the patch is the expected 10 second timeout: 1st retransmit: 01:37:59.022555 IP host1.49310 > host2.search-agent: Flags [.] Last retransmit: 01:38:06.486558 IP host1.49310 > host2.search-agent: Flags [.] Timeout: send: Connection timed out Mon Jul 2 01:38:09 EDT 2018 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Some transmit modes require that the HW header is located in the same page as the initial protocol headers in skb->data. Let callers specify the size of this contiguous header range, and enforce it when building the HW header. While at it, apply some gentle renaming to the relevant L2 code so that it matches the L3 code. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When checking whether an skb needs to be linearized to fit into an IO buffer, it's desirable to consider the skb's final size and layout (ie. after the HW header was added). But a subsequent linearization can then cause the re-positioned HW header to violate its alignment restrictions. Dealing with this situation in two different code paths is quite tricky. This patch integrates a) linearize-check and b) HW header construction into one 3 step-sequence: 1. evaluate how the HW header needs to be added (to identify if it takes up an additional buffer element), then 2. check if the required buffer elements exceed the device's limit. Linearize when necessary and re-evaluate the HW header placement. 3. Add the HW header in the best-possible way: a) push, without taking up an additional buffer element b) push, but consume another buffer element c) allocate a header object from the cache.

Allocation of the netdevice is currently delayed until a qeth card first goes online. This complicates matters in several places, where we need to cache values instead of applying them straight to the netdevice. Improve on this by moving the allocation up to where the qeth card itself is created. This is also one step in direction of eventually placing the qeth card into netdev_priv(). In all subsequent code, remove the now redundant checks whether card->dev is valid. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

After the subdriver's remove() routine has completed, the card's layer mode is undetermined again. Reflect this in the layer2 field. If qeth_dev_layer2_store() hits an error after remove() was called, the card _always_ requires a setup(), even if the previous layer mode is requested again. But qeth_dev_layer2_store() bails out early if the requested layer mode still matches the current one. So unless we reset the layer2 field, re-probing the card back to its previous mode is currently not possible. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

By updating q->used_buffers only _after_ do_QDIO() has completed, there is a potential race against the buffer's TX completion. In the unlikely case that the TX completion path wins, qeth_qdio_output_handler() would decrement the counter before qeth_flush_buffers() even incremented it.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-07-20 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Add sharing of BPF objects within one ASIC: this allows for reuse of the same program on multiple ports of a device, and therefore gains better code store utilization. On top of that, this now also enables sharing of maps between programs attached to different ports of a device, from Jakub. 2) Cleanup in libbpf and bpftool's Makefile to reduce unneeded feature detections and unused variable exports, also from Jakub. 3) First batch of RCU annotation fixes in prog array handling, i.e. there are several __rcu markers which are not correct as well as some of the RCU handling, from Roman. 4) Two fixes in BPF sample files related to checking of the prog_cnt upper limit from sample loader, from Dan. 5) Minor cleanup in sockmap to remove a set but not used variable, from Colin. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Tyler Hicks says: ==================== Make /sys/class/net per net namespace objects belong to container This is a revival of an older patch set from Dmitry Torokhov: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1471386795-32918-1-git-send-email-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com/ My submission of v2 is here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1531497949-1766-1-git-send-email-tyhicks@canonical.com/ Here's Dmitry's description: There are objects in /sys hierarchy (/sys/class/net/) that logically belong to a namespace/container. Unfortunately all sysfs objects start their life belonging to global root, and while we could change ownership manually, keeping tracks of all objects that come and go is cumbersome. It would be better if kernel created them using correct uid/gid from the beginning. This series changes kernfs to allow creating object's with arbitrary uid/gid, adds get_ownership() callback to ktype structure so subsystems could supply their own logic (likely tied to namespace support) for determining ownership of kobjects, and adjusts sysfs code to make use of this information. Lastly net-sysfs is adjusted to make sure that objects in net namespace are owned by the root user from the owning user namespace. Note that we do not adjust ownership of objects moved into a new namespace (as when moving a network device into a container) as userspace can easily do it. I'm reviving this patch set because we would like this feature for system containers. One specific use case that we have is that libvirt is unable to configure its bridge device inside of a system container due to the bridge files in /sys/class/net/ being owned by init root instead of container root. The last two patches in this set are patches that I've added to Dmitry's original set to allow such configuration of the bridge device. Eric had previously provided feedback that he didn't favor these changes affecting all layers of the stack and that most of the changes could remain local to drivers/base/core.c. That feedback is certainly sensible but I wanted to send out v2 of the patch set without making that large of a change since quite a bit of time has passed and the bridge changes in the last patch of this set shows that not all of the changes will be local to drivers/base/core.c. I'm happy to make the changes if the original request still stands. * Changes since v2: - Added my Co-Developed-by and Signed-off-by tags to all of Dmitry's patches that I've modified - Patch 1 received build failure fixes in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c - Patch 2 was updated to drop the declaration of sysfs_add_file() from sysfs.h since the patch removed all other uses of the function - Patch 5 is a new patch that prevents tx_maxrate from being written to from inside of a container + Maybe I'm being too cautious here but the restriction can always be loosened up later - Patches 6 and 7 were updated to make net_ns_get_ownership() always initialize uid and gid, even when the network namespace is NULL, so that it isn't a dangerous function to reuse + Requested by Christian Brauner - I've looked at all sysfs attributes affected by this patch set and feel comfortable about the changes. There are quite a few affected attributes that don't have any capable()/ns_capable() checks in their store operations (per_bond_attrs, at91_sysfs_attrs, sysfs_grcan_attrs, ican3_sysfs_attrs, cdc_ncm_sysfs_attrs, qmi_wwan_sysfs_attrs) but I think this is acceptable. It means that container root, rather than specifically CAP_NET_ADMIN inside of the network namespace that the device belongs to, can write to those device attributes. It's the same situation that those devices have today in that init root is able to write to the attributes without necessarily having CAP_NET_ADMIN. I think that this should probably be fixed in order to be consistent with what netdev_store() does by verifying CAP_NET_ADMIN in the network namespace but that it doesn't need to happen in this patch set. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Make net_ns_get_ownership() reusable by networking code outside of core. This is useful, for example, to allow bridge related sysfs files to be owned by container root. Add a function comment since this is a potentially dangerous function to use given the way that kobject_get_ownership() works by initializing uid and gid before calling .get_ownership().

Normally kobjects and their sysfs representation belong to global root, however it is not necessarily the case for objects in separate namespaces. For example, objects in separate network namespace logically belong to the container's root and not global root. This change lays groundwork for allowing network namespace objects ownership to be transferred to container's root user by defining get_ownership() callback in ktype structure and using it in sysfs code to retrieve desired uid/gid when creating sysfs objects for given kobject.

This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments. The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone and always create objects belonging to the global root. When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs object.
