We know this is a new route object, so doing atomics and stuff makes no sense at all. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key(). Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for output route lookups in this context, specifically: FIB rules matching cares about: dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark FIB trie lookup cares about: dst FIB semantic match cares about: tos, scope, oif Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the memset entirely. On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route lookup path. Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use. So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the final flow key. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

David noticed : ------------------ Eric, I was profiling the non-routing-cache case and something that stuck out is the case of calling inet_getpeer() with create==0. If an entry is not found, we have to redo the lookup under a spinlock to make certain that a concurrent writer rebalancing the tree does not "hide" an existing entry from us. This makes the case of a create==0 lookup for a not-present entry really expensive. It is on the order of 600 cpu cycles on my Niagara2. I added a hack to not do the relookup under the lock when create==0 and it now costs less than 300 cycles. This is now a pretty common operation with the way we handle COW'd metrics, so I think it's definitely worth optimizing. ----------------- One solution is to use a seqlock instead of a spinlock to protect struct inet_peer_base. After a failed avl tree lookup, we can easily detect if a writer did some changes during our lookup. Taking the lock and redo the lookup is only necessary in this case. Note: Add one private rcu_deref_locked() macro to place in one spot the access to spinlock included in seqlock. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076]. Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing. Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated. The buggy code was added in: commit 4a2d7892 Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com> Date: Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100 Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2] This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program compiled with -lkeyutils: #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #include <err.h> static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6"; int main() { key_serial_t key; key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload), KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING); if (key == -1) err(1, "add_key"); if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1) err(1, "read_key"); return 0; } What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user: dns-break: read_key: No such device or address but instead the kernel oopses. This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be included in the data. Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return -EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read. The oops looks like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 IP: [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f PGD 3bdf8067 PUD 385b9067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/irq CPU 0 Modules linked in: Pid: 2150, comm: dns-break Not tainted 2.6.38-rc7-cachefs+ #468 /DG965RY RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811b99f7>] [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f RSP: 0018:ffff88003bf47f08 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff88003b5ea378 RCX: ffffffff81972368 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88003b5ea378 RBP: ffff88003bf47f28 R08: ffff88003be56620 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000395 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffffffffffffa1 FS: 00007feab5751700(0000) GS:ffff88003e000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000010 CR3: 000000003de40000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process dns-break (pid: 2150, threadinfo ffff88003bf46000, task ffff88003be56090) Stack: ffff88003b5ea378 ffff88003b5ea3a0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff88003bf47f68 ffffffff811b708e ffff88003c442bc8 0000000000000000 00000000004005a0 00007fffba368060 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b708e>] keyctl_read_key+0xac/0xcf [<ffffffff811b7c07>] sys_keyctl+0x75/0xb6 [<ffffffff81001f7b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 75 1f 48 83 7b 28 00 75 18 c6 05 58 2b fb 00 01 be bb 00 00 00 48 c7 c7 76 1c 75 81 e8 13 c2 e9 ff 4c 8b b3 e0 00 00 00 4d 85 ed <41> 0f b7 5e 10 74 2d 4d 85 e4 74 28 e8 98 79 ee ff 49 39 dd 48 RIP [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f RSP <ffff88003bf47f08> CR2: 0000000000000010 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> cc: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing. For example, with a sync write we get: write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + = 8 [write_test] Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request, it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more. With this patch, after a sync write we get: write_test-2417 [000] 226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 += 8 [write_test] Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Acked-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
