When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an already expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157) calculated base on INT_MAX. The reason of this problem is in the following satement: rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX. With the help of Eric Dumazet, do the out of bound checks in rtnl_put_cacheinfo(), _after_ conversion to clock_t. Signed-off-by: Li Wei <lw@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch fills the net_device vlan_features with the proper hardware features, thus, improving the vlan interface performance. With the patch applied, I can see around 148% improvement on a TCP_STREAM test, from 3.5 Gb/s to 8.7 Gb/s. On TCP_RR, I see a 11% improvement, from 18k to 20. The CPU utilization is almost the same on both cases, from the comparison above. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <brenohl@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jiri Kosina authored
Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a8 ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT") added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available. The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace task is actually expecting the data in the buffer. This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to recvmsg() is used. If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but misses the check in the dmaengine case. This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine. This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

This reverts commit 5b3e7e6c. The problem that the original commit was attempting to fix can never happen in practice because validation is done one a per-flow basis rather than a per-packet basis. Adding additional checks at runtime is unnecessary and inconsistent with the rest of the code.

Jiri Benc authored
When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev->gflags according to the passed value but do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits from dev->flags. This can be easily trigerred by doing: tcpdump -i eth0 & ip l s up eth0 ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

The call tree is: kaweth_start_xmit() holds kaweth->device_lock. -> kaweth_async_set_rx_mode() -> kaweth_control() -> kaweth_internal_control_msg() The kaweth_internal_control_msg() function is only called from kaweth_control() which used GFP_ATOMIC for its allocations.

TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int. But patch "tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option"(dca43c75) didn't check the negative values. If a user assign -1 to it, the socket will set successfully and wait for 4294967295 miliseconds. This patch add a negative value check to avoid this issue.

As Colin Cross ported my x86 change to ARM, he also pointed out that powerpc is also behind in this fix. The commit 722b3c74 "ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index" fixes an issue with function graph tracing for x86, where if the called entry function decides not to trace interrupts, it can fail the check if an interrupt comes in just after the curr_ret_stack is updated. The solution is to call the entry function first, then update the curr_ret_stack if the entry function wants to be traced.
