This allows to use the get operation to atomically get-and-reset
counters.Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso
-
Use the expect tuple (if possible) instead of the master tuple for
the get operation. If two or more expectations come from the same
master, the returned expectation may not be the one that user-space
is requesting.This is how it works for the expect deletion operation.
Although I think that nobody has been seriously using this. We
accept both possibilities, using the expect tuple if possible.
I decided to do it like this to avoid breaking backward
compatibility.Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

We can use atomic64_t infrastructure to avoid taking a spinlock in fast
path, and remove inaccuracies while reading values in
ctnetlink_dump_counters() and connbytes_mt() on 32bit arches.Suggested by Pablo.

Modify the algorithm to build the source hashing hash table to add
extra slots for destinations with higher weight. This has the effect
of allowing an IPVS SH user to give more connections to hosts that
have been configured to have a higher weight.The reason for the Kconfig change is because the size of the hash table
becomes more relevant/important if you decide to use the weights in the
manner this patch lets you. It would be conceivable that someone might
need to increase the size of that table to accommodate their
configuration, so it will be handy to be able to do that through the
regular configuration system instead of editing the source.Signed-off-by: Michael Maxim

This tries to do the same thing as fib_validate_source(), but differs
in several aspects.The most important difference is that the reverse path filter built into
fib_validate_source uses the oif as iif when performing the reverse
lookup. We do not do this, as the oif is not yet known by the time the
PREROUTING hook is invoked.We can't wait until FORWARD chain because by the time FORWARD is invoked
ipv4 forward path may have already sent icmp messages is response
to to-be-discarded-via-rpfilter packets.To avoid the such an additional lookup in PREROUTING, Patrick McHardy
suggested to attach the path information directly in the match
(i.e., just do what the standard ipv4 path does a bit earlier in PREROUTING).This works, but it also has a few caveats. Most importantly, when using
marks in PREROUTING to re-route traffic based on the nfmark, -m rpfilter
would have to be used after the nfmark has been set; otherwise the nfmark
would have no effect (because the route is already attached).Another problem would be interaction with -j TPROXY, as this target sets an
nfmark and uses ACCEPT instead of continue, i.e. such a version of
-m rpfilter cannot be used for the initial to-be-intercepted packets.In case in turns out that the oif is required, we can add Patricks
suggestion with a new match option (e.g. --rpf-use-oif) to keep ruleset
compatibility.Another difference to current builtin ipv4 rpfilter is that packets subject to ipsec
transformation are not automatically excluded. If you want this, simply
combine -m rpfilter with the policy match.Packets arriving on loopback interfaces always match.

We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a
malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen
only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp
builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp
trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay
aligned.Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and
shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER.Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting
NET_IP_ALIGN to 0)This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of
new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy()Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are
skipped making them invisible to the caller. This reports the

> "there are not one, but two bugs in classic RED."RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines
act as such devices.I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna
Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to
setup min_th (target average queue size)
(max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup)By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change()
if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q))
red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms);First, if queue is empty, we should call
red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms);Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is
meaningless.Oh well...
[PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change()
Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty,
we start an idle period, not end it.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

The dqc_bitmap field of struct ocfs2_local_disk_chunk is 32-bit aligned,
but not 64-bit aligned. The dqc_bitmap is accessed by ocfs2_set_bit(),
ocfs2_clear_bit(), ocfs2_test_bit(), or ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit(). These
are wrapper macros for ext2_*_bit() which need to take an unsigned long
aligned address (though some architectures are able to handle unaligned
address correctly)So some 64bit architectures may not be able to access the dqc_bitmap
correctly.This avoids such unaligned access by using another wrapper functions for
ext2_*_bit(). The code is taken from fs/ext4/mballoc.c which also need to
handle unaligned bitmap access.Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita
