15 years agoaf_iucv: New socket option for setting IUCV MSGLIMITs
Hendrik Brueckner [Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:26:27 +0000 (23:26 +0000)]
af_iucv: New socket option for setting IUCV MSGLIMITs

The SO_MSGLIMIT socket option modifies the message limit for new
IUCV communication paths.

The message limit specifies the maximum number of outstanding messages
that are allowed for connections. This setting can be lowered by z/VM
when an IUCV connection is established.

Expects an integer value in the range of 1 to 65535.
The default value is 65535.

The message limit must be set before calling connect() or listen()
for sockets.

If sockets are already connected or in state listen, changing the message
limit is not supported.
For reading the message limit value, unconnected sockets return the limit
that has been set or the default limit. For connected sockets, the actual
message limit is returned. The actual message limit is assigned by z/VM
for each connection and it depends on IUCV MSGLIMIT authorizations
specified for the z/VM guest virtual machine.

15 years agoaf_iucv: Support data in IUCV msg parameter lists (IPRMDATA)
Hendrik Brueckner [Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:26:23 +0000 (23:26 +0000)]
af_iucv: Support data in IUCV msg parameter lists (IPRMDATA)

The patch allows to send and receive data in the parameter list of an
iucv message.
The parameter list is an arry of 8 bytes that are used by af_iucv as
follows:
0..6  7 bytes for socket data and
   7  1 byte to store the data length.

Instead of storing the data length directly, the difference
between 0xFF and the data length is used.
This convention does not interfere with the existing use of PRM
messages for shutting down the send direction of an AF_IUCV socket
(shutdown() operation).  Data lenghts greater than 7 (or PRM message
byte 8 is less than 0xF8) denotes to special messages.
Currently, the special SEND_SHUTDOWN message is supported only.

To use IPRM messages, both communicators must set the IUCV_IPRMDATA
flag during path negotiation, i.e. in iucv_connect() and
path_pending().

To be compatible to older af_iucv implementations, sending PRM
messages is controlled by the socket option SO_IPRMDATA_MSG.
Receiving PRM messages does not depend on the socket option (but
requires the IUCV_IPRMDATA path flag to be set).

Sending/Receiving data in the parameter list improves performance for
small amounts of data by reducing message_completion() interrupts and
memory copy operations.

sk_sleep after detaching.

tun: Only free a netdev when all tun descriptors are closed

The commit c70f182940f988448f3c12a209d18b1edc276e33 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.

However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure.  The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.

In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.

This patch solves the original race in a different way.  Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.

This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors.  The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.

Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero.  Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.

Alex Sidorenko reported:

"while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It
seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some
hosts but not on others.

After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp
field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That
is:

- if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected
- if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay"

This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit()
on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on
the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active.

Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host,
tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the
outside.

a Connect Complete event. This is wrong and the Link Manager should
actually send a Synchronous Connection Complete event if the Setup

This patch adds a workaround for this which clearly should not be

[PATCH] net: remove superfluous call to synchronize_net()

inet_register_protosw() function is responsible for adding a new
inet protocol into a global table (inetsw[]) that is used with RCU rules.

As soon as the store of the pointer is done, other cpus might see
this new protocol in inetsw[], so we have to make sure new protocol
is ready for use. All pending memory updates should thus be committed
to memory before setting the pointer.
This is correctly done using rcu_assign_pointer()

synchronize_net() is typically used at unregister time, after
unsetting the pointer, to make sure no other cpu is still using
the object we want to dismantle. Using it at register time
is only adding an artificial delay that could hide a real bug,
and this bug could popup if/when synchronize_rcu() can proceed
faster than now.

This saves about 13 ms on boot time on a HZ=1000 8 cpus machine  ;)
(4 calls to inet_register_protosw(), and about 3200 us per call)

netfilter: nf_nat: add support for persistent mappings

The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is
not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range
mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single
client. The current behaviour is to choose the address from the range
based on source and destination IP, which breaks when communicating
with sites having multiple addresses that require all connections to
originate from the same IP address.

Introduce a IP_NAT_RANGE_PERSISTENT option that controls whether the
destination address is taken into account for selecting addresses.

15 years agort2x00: prevent double kfree when failing to register hardware

rt2x00: prevent double kfree when failing to register hardware

In a scenario where there isn't any firmware available, we will have a
double kfree of rt2x00dev->spec.channels_info when ieee80211_register_hw
returns an error status inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw.

The problem is that if ieee80211_register_hw fails, we call
rt2x00lib_remove_hw twice:
* first inside rt2x00lib_probe_hw upon failure of ieee80211_register_hw
* error status is returned to rt2x00lib_probe_dev, which then sees it and
  calls in this case rt2x00lib_remove_dev that will again run
  rt2x00lib_remove_hw

Prevent this avoiding calling rt2x00lib_remove_hw inside
rt2x00lib_probe_hw

Problem was detected with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y,
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y, that dumps this with no firmware available:
