tcp: Increase timeout for SYN segments

Commit 9ad7c049 ("tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for
the passive open side") changed the initRTO from 3secs to 1sec in
accordance to RFC6298 (former RFC2988bis). This reduced the time till
the last SYN retransmission packet gets sent from 93secs to 31secs.

RFC1122 is stating that the retransmission should be done for at least 3
minutes, but this seems to be quite high.

  "However, the values of R1 and R2 may be different for SYN
  and data segments.  In particular, R2 for a SYN segment MUST
  be set large enough to provide retransmission of the segment
  for at least 3 minutes.  The application can close the
  connection (i.e., give up on the open attempt) sooner, of
  course."

This patch increases the value of TCP_SYN_RETRIES to the value of 6,
providing a retransmission window of 63secs.

The comments for SYN and SYNACK retries have also been updated to
describe the current settings. The same goes for the documentation file
"Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt".

net/fsl_pq_mdio: streamline probing of MDIO nodes

Make the device tree probe function more data-driven, so that it no longer
searches the 'compatible' property more than once.  The of_device_id[] array
allows for per-entry private data, so we use that to store details about each
type of node that the driver supports.  This removes the need to check the
'compatible' property inside the probe function.

The driver supports four types on MDIO devices:

1) Gianfar MDIO nodes that only map the MII registers
2) Gianfar MDIO nodes that map the full MDIO register set
3) eTSEC2 MDIO nodes (which map the full MDIO register set)
4) QE MDIO nodes (which map only the MII registers)

Gianfar, eTSEC2, and QE have different mappings for the TBIPA register, which
is needed to initialize the TBI PHY.  In addition, the QE needs a special
hack because of the way the device tree is ordered.

All of this information is encapsulated in the fsl_pq_mdio_data structure,
so when an MDIO node is probed, per-device data and functions are used
to determine how to initialize the device.

12 years agoforcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link

forcedeth: fix TX timeout caused by TX pause on down link

On some dual-port forcedeth devices such as MCP55 10de:0373 (rev a3),
when autoneg & TX pause are enabled while port is connected but
interface is down, the NIC will eventually freeze (TX timeouts,
network unreachable).

This patch ensures that TX pause is not configured in hardware when
interface is down. The TX pause request will be honored when interface
is later configured.

Tested:
 - hardware is MCP55 device id 10de:0373 (rev a3), dual-port
 - eth0 connected and UP, eth1 connected but DOWN
 - without this patch, following sequence would brick NIC:
      ifconfig eth0 down
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ethtool -A eth1 autoneg off rx on tx off
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ethtool -A eth1 autoneg on rx on tx on
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ifup eth0
      sleep 120  # or longer
      ethtool eth1
   Just in case, sequence to un-brick:
      ifconfig eth0 down
      ethtool -A eth1 autoneg off rx on tx off
      ifconfig eth1 up
      ifconfig eth1 down
      ifup eth0
 - with this patch: no TX timeout after "bricking" sequence above

Details:
 - The following register accesses have been identified as the ones
   causing the NIC to freeze in "bricking" sequence above:
    - write NVREG_TX_PAUSEFRAME_ENABLE_V1 to eth1's register NvRegTxPauseFrame
    - write NVREG_MISC1_PAUSE_TX | NVREG_MISC1_FORCE to eth1's register NvRegMisc1
    - write 0 to eth1's register NvRegTransmitterControl

net: ipv4: ipmr_expire_timer causes crash when removing net namespace

When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed
without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in
run_timer_softirq.
This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6.
Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate.
We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that
no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic.
The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other
race conditions to be created.
Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive.
Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in
del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock
or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

Bruce Allan [Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:38:11 +0000 (20:38 +0000)]
e1000e: DoS while TSO enabled caused by link partner with small MSS

With a low enough MSS on the link partner and TSO enabled locally, the
networking stack can periodically send a very large (e.g.  64KB) TCP
message for which the driver will attempt to use more Tx descriptors than
are available by default in the Tx ring.  This is due to a workaround in
the code that imposes a limit of only 4 MSS-sized segments per descriptor
which appears to be a carry-over from the older e1000 driver and may be
applicable only to some older PCI or PCIx parts which are not supported in
e1000e.  When the driver gets a message that is too large to fit across the
configured number of Tx descriptors, it stops the upper stack from queueing
any more and gets stuck in this state.  After a timeout, the upper stack
assumes the adapter is hung and calls the driver to reset it.

Remove the unnecessary limitation of using up to only 4 MSS-sized segments
per Tx descriptor, and put in a hard failure test to catch when attempting
to check for message sizes larger than would fit in the whole Tx ring.
Refactor the remaining logic that limits the size of data per Tx descriptor
from a seemingly arbitrary 8KB to a limit based on the dynamic size of the
Tx packet buffer as described in the hardware specification.

Also, fix the logic in the check for space in the Tx ring for the next
largest possible packet after the current one has been successfully queued
for transmit, and use the appropriate defines for default ring sizes in
e1000_probe instead of magic values.

This issue goes back to the introduction of e1000e in 2.6.24 when it was
split off from e1000.

1. We check whether a reset was requested during probe (suggesting

3. Since the state can change between scheduling and running of
the work item, we still need to check it there, and we need to
do so *after* acquiring the RTNL lock which serialises state

12 years agonetlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processes
Pablo Neira Ayuso [Thu, 23 Aug 2012 02:09:11 +0000 (02:09 +0000)]
netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processes

Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other
processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink
asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root
process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers.

The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in
two ways:

a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
   some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.

b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
   of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
   message not coming from the kernel.

However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.

Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.

This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
userspace communication.

Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.

net: Set device operstate at registration time

The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated
asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state
reported by the driver.  The default carrier state of a net device is
on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support
carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN.

For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the
carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the
device is opened.  However, we must not activate linkwatch for a
unregistered device, and commit b473001 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't.  But
this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier
detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN.

The same issue exists with the dormant state.

The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of
the device, is:

        rtnl_lock();
        rc = register_netdevice(dev);
        if (rc)
                goto out_unlock;
        netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */
        rtnl_unlock();

but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many
drivers.  Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the
device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of
linkwatch.

Commit 22604c8 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted
to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was
reverted as it could lead to deadlock.

This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time
only.

if the tasks cgroup classid is not zero, and if it differs from the current

batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.

This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.

This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.
