  • SCTP reconfigure the IP addresses in the association by using
    ASCONF chunks as mentioned in RFC5061. For example, we can
    start to use the newly configured IP address in the existing
    association. This patch implements automatic ASCONF operation
    in the SCTP stack with address events in the host computer,
    which is called auto_asconf.

  • During the sctp_close() call, we do not use rcu primitives to
    destroy the address list attached to the endpoint. At the same
    time, we do the removal of addresses from this list before
    attempting to remove the socket from the port hash

    As a result, it is possible for another process to find the socket
    in the port hash that is in the process of being closed. It then
    proceeds to traverse the address list to find the conflict, only
    to have that address list suddenly disappear without rcu() critical
    section.

    Fix issue by closing address list removal inside RCU critical
    section.

    Race can result in a kernel crash with general protection fault or
    kernel NULL pointer dereference:

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping
    configurable .

    In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting
    chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses,
    SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the
    kernel due to address scope match failure.
    For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with
    different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's,
    and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local
    IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping
    draft is strictly followed.

    This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such
    unconventional networking environments.

    Sysctl options:
    0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether
    1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior)
    2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack
    3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack

  • sctp_is_any() function that is used to check for wildcard addresses
    only looks at the address itself to determine the address family.
    This function is used in the API to check the address passed in from
    the user. If the user simply zerroes out the sockaddr_storage and
    pass that in, we'll end up failing. So, let's try harder to determine
    the address family by also checking the socket if it's possible.

  • I was notified by Randy Stewart that lksctp claims to be
    "the reference implementation". First of all, "the
    refrence implementation" was the original implementation
    of SCTP in usersapce written ty Randy and a few others.
    Second, after looking at the definiton of 'reference implementation',
    we don't really meet the requirements.

  • During accept/migrate the code attempts to copy the addresses from
    the parent endpoint to the new endpoint. However, if the parent
    was bound to a wildcard address, then we end up pointlessly copying
    all of the current addresses on the system.

  • After learning more about rcu, it looks like the ADD-IP hadling
    doesn't need to call call_rcu_bh. All the rcu critical sections
    use rcu_read_lock, so using call_rcu_bh is wrong here.
    Now, restore the local_bh_disable() code blocks and use normal
    call_rcu() calls. Also restore the missing return statement.

  • Since the sctp_sockaddr_entry is now RCU enabled as part of
    the patch to synchronize sctp_localaddr_list, it makes sense to
    change all handling of these entries to RCU. This includes the
    sctp_bind_addrs structure and it's list of bound addresses.

    This list is currently protected by an external rw_lock and that
    looks like an overkill. There are only 2 writers to the list:
    bind()/bindx() calls, and BH processing of ASCONF-ACK chunks.
    These are already seriealized via the socket lock, so they will
    not step on each other. These are also relatively rare, so we
    should be good with RCU.

    The readers are varied and they are easily converted to RCU.

  • sctp_localaddr_list is modified dynamically via NETDEV_UP
    and NETDEV_DOWN events, but there is not synchronization
    between writer (even handler) and readers. As a result,
    the readers can access an entry that has been freed and
    crash the sytem.

  • After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

    - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
    the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
    generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
    typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
