ipv6: fill rt6i_gateway with nexthop address

2013-11-04T12:31:05Z

[ Upstream commit 550bab42f83308c9d6ab04a980cc4333cef1c8fa ] Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly attached to skb for generated ICMP packets. The effect of this patch should be a faster version of rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as nexthop.

ipv6: always prefer rt6i_gateway if present

2013-11-04T12:31:05Z

[ Upstream commit 96dc809514fb2328605198a0602b67554d8cce7b ] In v3.9 6fd6ce2056de2709 ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2()." changed the behaviour of ip6_finish_output2() such that the recently introduced rt6_nexthop() is used instead of an assigned neighbor. As rt6_nexthop() prefers rt6i_gateway only for gatewayed routes this causes a problem for users like IPVS, xt_TEE and RAW(hdrincl) if they want to use different address for routing compared to the destination address. Another case is when redirect can create RTF_DYNAMIC route without RTF_GATEWAY flag, we ignore the rt6i_gateway in rt6_nexthop(). Fix the above problems by considering the rt6i_gateway if present, so that traffic routed to address on local subnet is not wrongly diverted to the destination address. Thanks to Simon Horman and Phil Oester for spotting the problematic commit. Thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa for his review and help in testing.

inet: fix possible memory corruption with UDP_CORK and UFO

2013-11-04T12:31:05Z

[ This is a simplified -stable version of a set of upstream commits. ] This is a replacement patch only for stable which does fix the problems handled by the following two commits in -net: "ip_output: do skb ufo init for peeked non ufo skb as well" (e93b7d748be887cd7639b113ba7d7ef792a7efb9) "ip6_output: do skb ufo init for peeked non ufo skb as well" (c547dbf55d5f8cf615ccc0e7265e98db27d3fb8b) Three frames are written on a corked udp socket for which the output netdevice has UFO enabled. If the first and third frame are smaller than the mtu and the second one is bigger, we enqueue the second frame with skb_append_datato_frags without initializing the gso fields. This leads to the third frame appended regulary and thus constructing an invalid skb. This fixes the problem by always using skb_append_datato_frags as soon as the first frag got enqueued to the skb without marking the packet as SKB_GSO_UDP. The problem with only two frames for ipv6 was fixed by "ipv6: udp packets following an UFO enqueued packet need also be handled by UFO" (2811ebac2521ceac84f2bdae402455baa6a7fb47).

net: fix cipso packet validation when !NETLABEL

2013-11-04T12:31:04Z

[ Upstream commit f2e5ddcc0d12f9c4c7b254358ad245c9dddce13b ] When CONFIG_NETLABEL is disabled, the cipso_v4_validate() function could loop forever in the main loop if opt[opt_iter +1] == 0, this will causing a kernel crash in an SMP system, since the CPU executing this function will stall /not respond to IPIs.

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing

2013-11-04T12:30:59Z

[ Upstream commits 6d36824e730f247b602c90e8715a792003e3c5a7, 02cf4ebd82ff0ac7254b88e466820a290ed8289a, and parts of 7eec4174ff29cd42f2acfae8112f51c228545d40 ] After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO packets. One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the buffering amount. This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so that we try to send one packet every ms. This field could be set by other transports. Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets makes sense to reach line rate. For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking. This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments. A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2). A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing. This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up. sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Neal Cardwell Cc: Yuchung Cheng Cc: Van Jacobson Cc: Tom Herbert Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S.

ipc/sem.c: replace shared sem_otime with per-semaphore value

2013-10-18T14:45:47Z

commit d12e1e50e47e0900dbbf52237b7e171f4f15ea1e upstream. sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that completed successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access from multiple cpus can cause thrashing. Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable. The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required. No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for larger systems.

commit 1a82e9e1d0f1b45f47a97c9e2349020536ff8987 upstream. Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the semaphore values. Advantages: - Simpler logic in check_restart(). - Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0. - wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9 Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Davidlohr Bueso Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cope with potentially long ->d_dname() output for shmem/hugetlb

commit 118b23022512eb2f41ce42db70dc0568d00be4ba upstream. dynamic_dname() is both too much and too little for those - the output may be well in excess of 64 bytes dynamic_dname() assumes to be enough (thanks to ashmem feeding really long names to shmem_file_setup()) and vsnprintf() is an overkill for those guys.
