I have recently came across a preemption imbalance detected by:
huh, entered ffffffff80644630 with preempt_count 00000102, exited with 00000101?
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at /usr/src/linux/kernel/timer.c:664!
invalid opcode: 0000 [1] PREEMPT SMPwith ffffffff80644630 being inet_twdr_hangman().
This appeared after I enabled CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG and played with it a
bit, so I looked at what might have caused it.One thing that struck me as strange is tcp_twsk_destructor(), as it
calls tcp_put_md5sig_pool() -- which entails a put_cpu(), causing the
detected imbalance. Found on 2.6.23.9, but 2.6.31 is affected as well,
as far as I can tell.Signed-off-by: Robert Varga

This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter.
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
table, which might be unnecessary.The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.Reported-by: Jason Gunthorpe

This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.
page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock
mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaimDavid raised a concern that if the allocation fails in tcp_send_fin(), and it's
GFP_ATOMIC, we are going to yield() (which sleeps) and loop endlessly waiting
for the allocation to succeed.But fact is, the original GFP_KERNEL also sleeps. GFP_ATOMIC+yield() looks
weird, but it is no worse the implicit sleep inside GFP_KERNEL. Both could
loop endlessly under memory pressure.CC: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not
accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops
are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated.IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing,
but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats.This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated,
regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket.Example after an UDP tx flood
# netstat -s

IP:
1487048 outgoing packets dropped
...
Udp:
...
SndbufErrors: 1487048send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not
break applications.Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error :
"The output queue for a network interface was full.
This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
but may be caused by transient congestion.
(Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently
dropped when a device queue overflows.) "This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall
that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.Many thanks to Christoph, David, and last but not least, Alexey !

RFC 1122 specifies two threshold values R1 and R2 for connection timeouts,
which may represent a number of allowed retransmissions or a timeout value.
Currently linux uses sysctl_tcp_retries{1,2} to specify the thresholds
in number of allowed retransmissions.For any desired threshold R2 (by means of time) one can specify tcp_retries2
(by means of number of retransmissions) such that TCP will not time out
earlier than R2. This is the case, because the RTO schedule follows a fixed
pattern, namely exponential backoff.However, the RTO behaviour is not predictable any more if RTO backoffs can be
reverted, as it is the case in the draft
"Make TCP more Robust to Long Connectivity Disruptions"
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zimmermann-tcp-lcd).In the worst case TCP would time out a connection after 3.2 seconds, if the
initial RTO equaled MIN_RTO and each backoff has been reverted.This patch introduces a function retransmits_timed_out(N),
which calculates the timeout of a TCP connection, assuming an initial
RTO of MIN_RTO and N unsuccessful, exponentially backed-off retransmissions.Whenever timeout decisions are made by comparing the retransmission counter
to some value N, this function can be used, instead.The meaning of tcp_retries2 will be changed, as many more RTO retransmissions
can occur than the value indicates. However, it yields a timeout which is
similar to the one of an unpatched, exponentially backing off TCP in the same
scenario. As no application could rely on an RTO greater than MIN_RTO, there
should be no risk of a regression.Signed-off-by: Damian Lukowski

Here, an ICMP host/network unreachable message, whose payload fits to
TCP's SND.UNA, is taken as an indication that the RTO retransmission has
not been lost due to congestion, but because of a route failure
somewhere along the path.
With true congestion, a router won't trigger such a message and the
patched TCP will operate as standard TCP.This patch reverts one RTO backoff, if an ICMP host/network unreachable
message, whose payload fits to TCP's SND.UNA, arrives.
Based on the new RTO, the retransmission timer is reset to reflect the
remaining time, or - if the revert clocked out the timer - a retransmission
is sent out immediately.
Backoffs are only reverted, if TCP is in RTO loss recovery, i.e. if
there have been retransmissions and reversible backoffs, already.Changes from v2:
1) Renaming of skb in tcp_v4_err() moved to another patch.
2) Reintroduced tcp_bound_rto() and __tcp_set_rto().
3) Fixed code comments.Signed-off-by: Damian Lukowski

instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will
mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make
twdr->slot = 2.Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo)
is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will
place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1.At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start
destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added
TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one.To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the
slot have been purged.This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row
period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge
the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl
settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we
would probably see delays...Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila

Here is rework and cleanup of the resize function.
Some bugs we had. We were using ->parent when we should use
node_parent(). Also we used ->parent which is not assigned by
inflate in inflate loop.Also a fix to set thresholds to power 2 to fit halve
and double strategy.max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates
it's function.Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed.
max_work only limits amount of work done per resize.
(limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc).The clean-up makes it relatively easy to add fixed sized
root-nodes if we would like to decrease the memory pressure
on routers with large routing tables and dynamic routing.
If we'll need that...Its been tested with 280k routes.

Kernel 2.6.30 introduced a patch [1] for the persistent option in the
netfilter SNAT target. This is exactly what we need here so I had a quick look
at the code and noticed that the patch is wrong. The logic is simply inverted.
The patch below fixes this.Also note that because of this the default behavior of the SNAT target has
changed since kernel 2.6.30 as it now ignores the destination IP in choosing
the source IP for nating (which should only be the case if the persistent
option is set).[1] http://git.eu.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=98d500d66cb7940747b424b245fc6a51ecfbf005

The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

This adds a check that iptables's original author Rusty set forth in
a FIXME comment.Underflows in iptables are better known as chain policies, and are
required to be unconditional or there would be a stochastical chance
for the policy rule to be skipped if it does not match. If that were
to happen, rule execution would continue in an unexpected spurious
fashion.Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt

The "hook_entry" and "underflow" array contains values even for hooks
not provided, such as PREROUTING in conjunction with the "filter"
table. Usually, the values point to whatever the next rule is. For
the upcoming unconditionality and underflow checking patches however,
we must not inspect that arbitrary rule.Skipping unassigned hooks seems like a good idea, also because
newinfo->hook_entry and newinfo->underflow will then continue to have
the poison value for detecting abnormalities.Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt
