When printing the soft interface table the number of entries in the
softif neigh list are first being counted and a fitting buffer
allocated. After that the softif neigh list gets locked again and
the buffer printed - which has the following two issues:
For one thing, the softif neigh list might have grown when reacquiring
the rcu lock, which results in writing outside of the allocated buffer.
Furthermore 31 Bytes are not enough for printing an entry with a vid
of more than 2 digits.
The manual buffering is unnecessary, we can safely print to the seq
directly during the rcu_read_lock().

Batman-adv could receive several payload broadcasts at the same time
that would trigger access to the broadcast seqno sliding window to
determine whether this is a new broadcast or not. If these incoming
broadcasts are accessing the sliding window simultaneously it could
be left in an inconsistent state. Therefore it is necessary to make

We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and
memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform
output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key().
Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for
output route lookups in this context, specifically:
FIB rules matching cares about:
dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark
FIB trie lookup cares about:
dst
FIB semantic match cares about:
tos, scope, oif
Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the
memset entirely.
On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route
lookup path.
Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output
route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use.
So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the
final flow key.

David noticed :
------------------
Eric, I was profiling the non-routing-cache case and something that
stuck out is the case of calling inet_getpeer() with create==0.
If an entry is not found, we have to redo the lookup under a spinlock
to make certain that a concurrent writer rebalancing the tree does
not "hide" an existing entry from us.
This makes the case of a create==0 lookup for a not-present entry
really expensive. It is on the order of 600 cpu cycles on my
Niagara2.
I added a hack to not do the relookup under the lock when create==0
and it now costs less than 300 cycles.
This is now a pretty common operation with the way we handle COW'd
metrics, so I think it's definitely worth optimizing.
-----------------
One solution is to use a seqlock instead of a spinlock to protect struct
inet_peer_base.
After a failed avl tree lookup, we can easily detect if a writer did
some changes during our lookup. Taking the lock and redo the lookup is
only necessary in this case.
Note: Add one private rcu_deref_locked() macro to place in one spot the
access to spinlock included in seqlock.

The standby logic used to be pretty dependent on the work requeueing
behavior that changed when we switched to WQ_NON_REENTRANT. It was also
very fragile.
Restructure things so that:
- We clear WRITE_PENDING when we set STANDBY. This ensures we will
requeue work when we wake up later.
- con_work backs off if STANDBY is set. There is nothing to do if we are
in standby.
- clear_standby() helper is called by both con_send() and con_keepalive(),
the two actions that can wake us up again. Move the connect_seq++
logic here.

With commit f363e45f we replaced a bunch of hacky workqueue mutual
exclusion logic with the WQ_NON_REENTRANT flag. One pieces of fallout is
that the exponential backoff breaks in certain cases:
* con_work attempts to connect.
* we get an immediate failure, and the socket state change handler queues
immediate work.
* con_work calls con_fault, we decide to back off, but can't queue delayed
work.
In this case, we add a BACKOFF bit to make con_work reschedule delayed work
next time it runs (which should be immediately).

When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].
Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.
Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.
The buggy code was added in:
commit 4a2d789267
Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]
This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#include <err.h>
static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
int main()
{
key_serial_t key;
key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
if (key == -1)
err(1, "add_key");
if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
err(1, "read_key");
return 0;
}
What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:
dns-break: read_key: No such device or address
but instead the kernel oopses.
This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data. Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.

version mismatch that won't change until the server is restarted, at which
point we'll get a new addr and reconnect. An authorization failure like

however, and should be treated as transient so that the normal backoff and

Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
__xfrm_lookup().
__xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
-EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).
Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.
All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow. The latter of which
handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.

The UDP transmit path has been running under the socket lock
for a long time because of the corking feature. This means that
transmitting to the same socket in multiple threads does not
scale at all.
However, as most users don't actually use corking, the locking
can be removed in the common case.
This patch creates a lockless fast path where corking is not used.
Please note that this does create a slight inaccuracy in the
enforcement of socket send buffer limits. In particular, we
may exceed the socket limit by up to (number of CPUs) * (packet
size) because of the way the limit is computed.
As the primary purpose of socket buffers is to indicate congestion,
this should not be a great problem for now.

This patch converts UDP to use the new ip_finish_skb API. This
would then allows us to more easily use ip_make_skb which allows
UDP to run without a socket lock.

This patch adds the helper ip_make_skb which is like ip_append_data
and ip_push_pending_frames all rolled into one, except that it does
not send the skb produced. The sending part is carried out by
ip_send_skb, which the transport protocol can call after it has
tweaked the skb.
It is meant to be called in cases where corking is not used should
have a one-to-one correspondence to sendmsg.
This patch also adds the helper ip_finish_skb which is meant to
be replace ip_push_pending_frames when corking is required.
Previously the protocol stack would peek at the socket write
queue and add its header to the first packet. With ip_finish_skb,
the protocol stack can directly operate on the final skb instead,
just like the non-corking case with ip_make_skb.

In order to allow simultaneous calls to ip_append_data on the same
socket, it must not modify any shared state in sk or inet (other
than those that are designed to allow that such as atomic counters).
This patch abstracts out write references to sk and inet_sk in
ip_append_data and its friends so that we may use the underlying
code in parallel.

netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error.
It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to
user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we
enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the
netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed
one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever.
netlink_dump() is called from two places:
1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start().
In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned
by sendmsg().
2. from netlink_recvmsg
There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of
valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion.
If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the
next recvmsg will be failed.

This patch fixes the out of sync scenarios while in SYN_RECV state.
Quoting Jozsef, what it happens if we are out of sync if the
following:
> > b. conntrack entry is outdated, new SYN received
> > - (b1) we ignore it but save the initialization data from it
> > - (b2) when the reply SYN/ACK receives and it matches the saved data,
> > we pick up the new connection
This is what it should happen if we are in SYN_RECV state. Initially,
the SYN packet hits b1, thus we save data from it. But the SYN/ACK
packet is considered a retransmission given that we're in SYN_RECV
state. Therefore, we never hit b2 and we don't get in sync. To fix
this, we ignore SYN/ACK if we are in SYN_RECV. If the previous packet
was a SYN, then we enter the ignore case that get us in sync.
This patch helps a lot to conntrackd in stress scenarios (assumming a
client that generates lots of small TCP connections). During the failover,
consider that the new primary has injected one outdated flow in SYN_RECV
state (this is likely to happen if the conntrack event rate is high
because the backup will be a bit delayed from the primary). With the
current code, if the client starts a new fresh connection that matches
the tuple, the SYN packet will be ignored without updating the state
tracking, and the SYN+ACK in reply will blocked as it will not pass
checkings III or IV (since all state tracking in the original direction
is not initialized because of the SYN packet was ignored and the ignore
case that get us in sync is not applied).
I posted a couple of patches before this one. Changli Gao spotted
a simpler way to fix this problem. This patch implements his idea.

For devices supported by iwlwifi sometimes
off-channel transmissions need to be handled
by the device completely. To support this
mac80211 needs to pass the frame directly
to the driver and not through the TX path
as the driver needs the frame and channel
information at the same time.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.
