2012-12-03tun: only queue packets on deviceMichael S. Tsirkin
Historically tun supported two modes of operation: - in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc - in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device This might have made sense up to a point where we made the queue depth for both modes the same and set it to a huge value (500) so unless the consumer is stuck the chance of losing packets is small. Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the default mode has some problems: - if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit - overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented only once so you can not distinguish between userspace that is stuck and a transient failure, tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE but there seems to be little point in not doing the right thing for everyone, by default.

2012-12-03netfilter: nf_nat: Handle routing changes in MASQUERADE targetJozsef Kadlecsik
When the route changes (backup default route, VPNs) which affect a masqueraded target, the packets were sent out with the outdated source address. The patch addresses the issue by comparing the outgoing interface directly with the masqueraded interface in the nat table. Events are inefficient in this case, because it'd require adding route events to the network core and then scanning the whole conntrack table and re-checking the route for all entry.

2012-12-03netfilter: kill support for per-af queue backendsFlorian Westphal
We used to have several queueing backends, but nowadays only nfnetlink_queue remains. In light of this there doesn't seem to be a good reason to support per-af registering -- just hook up nfnetlink_queue on module load and remove it on unload. This means that the userspace BIND/UNBIND_PF commands are now obsolete; the kernel will ignore them.

2012-12-03netfilter: ctnetlink: dump entries from the dying and unconfirmed listsPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds a new operation to dump the content of the dying and unconfirmed lists. Under some situations, the global conntrack counter can be inconsistent with the number of entries that we can dump from the conntrack table. The way to resolve this is to allow dumping the content of the unconfirmed and dying lists, so far it was not possible to look at its content. This provides some extra instrumentation to resolve problematic situations in which anyone suspects memory leaks. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2012-12-03netfilter: nf_conntrack: improve nf_conn object traceabilityPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch modifies the conntrack subsystem so that all existing allocated conntrack objects can be found in any of the following places: * the hash table, this is the typical place for alive conntrack objects. * the unconfirmed list, this is the place for newly created conntrack objects that are still traversing the stack. * the dying list, this is where you can find conntrack objects that are dying or that should die anytime soon (eg. once the destroy event is delivered to the conntrackd daemon). Thus, we make sure that we follow the track for all existing conntrack objects. This patch, together with some extension of the ctnetlink interface to dump the content of the dying and unconfirmed lists, will help in case to debug suspected nf_conn object leaks.

2012-11-30net: move inet_dport/inet_num in sock_commonEric Dumazet
commit 68835aba4d9b (net: optimize INET input path further) moved some fields used for tcp/udp sockets lookup in the first cache line of struct sock_common. This patch moves inet_dport/inet_num as well, filling a 32bit hole on 64 bit arches and reducing number of cache line misses in lookups. Also change INET_MATCH()/INET_TW_MATCH() to perform the ports match before addresses match, as this check is more discriminant. Remove the hash check from MATCH() macros because we dont need to re validate the hash value after taking a refcount on socket, and use likely/unlikely compiler hints, as the sk_hash/hash check makes the following conditional tests 100% predicted by cpu. Introduce skc_addrpair/skc_portpair pair values to better document the alignment requirements of the port/addr pairs used in the various MATCH() macros, and remove some casts. The namespace check can also be done at last. This slightly improves TCP/UDP lookup times. IP/TCP early demux needs inet->rx_dst_ifindex and TCP needs inet->min_ttl, lets group them together in same cache line. With help from Ben Hutchings & Joe Perches. Idea of this patch came after Ling Ma proposal to move skc_hash to the beginning of struct sock_common, and should allow him to submit a final version of his patch. My tests show an improvement doing so.

2012-11-26Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"Mel Gorman
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

2012-11-26include/linux/bug.h: fix sparse warning related to BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALIDTushar Behera
Commit baf05aa9271b ("bug: introduce BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() macro") introduces this macro only when _CHECKER_ is not defined. Define a silent macro in the else condition to fix following sparse warning: mm/filemap.c:395:9: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID' mm/filemap.c:396:9: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID' mm/filemap.c:397:9: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID' include/linux/mm.h:419:9: error: undefined identifier 'BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID' include/linux/mm.h:419:9: error: not a function <noident> Signed-off-by: Tushar Behera <tushar.behera@linaro.org> Acked-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-11-26sockopt: Change getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE to return an interface nameBrian Haley
Instead of having the getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE return an index, which will then require another call like if_indextoname() to get the actual interface name, have it return the name directly. This also matches the existing man page description on socket(7) which mentions the argument being an interface name. If the value has not been set, zero is returned and optlen will be set to zero to indicate there is no interface name present. Added a seqlock to protect this code path, and dev_ifname(), from someone changing the device name via dev_change_name(). v2: Added seqlock protection while copying device name. v3: Fixed word wrap in patch.
