net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31Z

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack.

net: avoid dependency of net_get_random_once on nop patching

2014-05-14T04:37:34Z

net_get_random_once depends on the static keys infrastructure to patch up the branch to the slow path during boot. This was realized by abusing the static keys api and defining a new initializer to not enable the call site while still indicating that the branch point should get patched up. This was needed to have the fast path considered likely by gcc. The static key initialization during boot up normally walks through all the registered keys and either patches in ideal nops or enables the jump site but omitted that step on x86 if ideal nops where already placed at static_key branch points. Thus net_get_random_once branches not always became active. This patch switches net_get_random_once to the ordinary static_key api and thus places the kernel fast path in the - by gcc considered - unlikely path. Microbenchmarks on Intel and AMD x86-64 showed that the unlikely path actually beats the likely path in terms of cycle cost and that different nop patterns did not make much difference, thus this switch should not be noticeable.

net: replace macros net_random and net_srandom with direct calls to prandom

2014-01-14T23:15:25Z

This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around. This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32. Signed-off-by: Aruna-Hewapathirane Suggested-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: unix: allow set_peek_off to fail

2013-12-11T02:45:15Z

unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv is complete. In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew. Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-11-21T02:52:30Z

This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

net: make net_get_random_once irq safe

2013-10-25T23:03:39Z

I initial build non irq safe version of net_get_random_once because I would liked to have the freedom to defer even the extraction process of get_random_bytes until the nonblocking pool is fully seeded. I don't think this is a good idea anymore and thus this patch makes net_get_random_once irq safe. Now someone using net_get_random_once does not need to care from where it is called. Cc: David S.

net: introduce new macro net_get_random_once

2013-10-19T23:45:35Z

net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true if the key got initialized. The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so it needs some further explanation why this actually works: === In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have === no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is initialized like this: ___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) } The check if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ expands into (pseudo code) if (!likely(___done_key > 0)) , so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the helper function. === If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends === on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called before that! At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs): 71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above. arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks like this: if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ expands to if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \ ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \ So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path. static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the branch is replaced with a nop again. === Misc: === The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean (___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before the increment happend.

net.h/skbuff.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-26T21:53:19Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
