| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE. We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends stall. Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage() Reported-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: H.K.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two control files: 1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup. This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem, and is used to index the per-device priority map 2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples <name:priority> where name is the name of a network interface and priority is indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and originating from a pid in this cgroup This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> CC: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com> CC: "David S.

| * net: add wireless TX status socket optionJohannes Berg2011-11-091-0/+18

Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but injecting it with radiotap and getting the status out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and doesn't work with all hardware. To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX status option for data frame transmissions. This works similar to the existing TX timestamping in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has an int indicating ACK status (0/1). Since it is possible that at some point we will want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more than just the timestamp; keep the old constant as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard to split them up in a way that makes it possible. Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out the functions that add the control messages. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handlingLinus Torvalds2012-01-061-15/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users (see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code translation. ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY ("Inappropriate ioctl for device"). That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code that makes it harder to do the right thing.

| * sendmmsg/sendmsg: fix unsafe user pointer accessMathieu Desnoyers2011-08-251-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dereferencing a user pointer directly from kernel-space without going through the copy_from_user family of functions is a bad idea. Two of such usages can be found in the sendmsg code path called from sendmmsg, added by commit c71d8ebe7a4496fb7231151cb70a6baa0cb56f9a upstream. commit 5b47b8038f183b44d2d8ff1c7d11a5c1be706b34 in the 3.0-stable tree. Usages are performed through memcmp() and memcpy() directly. Fix those by using the already copied msg_sys structure instead of the __user *msg structure. Note that msg_sys can be set to NULL by verify_compat_iovec() or verify_iovec(), which requires additional NULL pointer checks.

| * net: Fix security_socket_sendmsg() bypass problem.Tetsuo Handa2011-08-051-9/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sendmmsg() introduced by commit 228e548e "net: Add sendmmsg socket system call" is capable of sending to multiple different destination addresses. SMACK is using destination's address for checking sendmsg() permission. However, security_socket_sendmsg() is called for only once even if multiple different destination addresses are passed to sendmmsg(). Therefore, we need to call security_socket_sendmsg() for each destination address rather than only the first destination address. Since calling security_socket_sendmsg() every time when only single destination address was passed to sendmmsg() is a waste of time, omit calling security_socket_sendmsg() unless destination address of previous datagram and that of current datagram differs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To limit the amount of time we can spend in sendmmsg, cap the number of elements to UIO_MAXIOV (currently 1024). For error handling an application using sendmmsg needs to retry at the first unsent message, so capping is simpler and requires less application logic than returning EINVAL.

| * net: sendmmsg should only return an error if no messages were sentAnton Blanchard2011-08-051-24/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sendmmsg uses a similar error return strategy as recvmmsg but it turns out to be a confusing way to communicate errors. The current code stores the error code away and returns it on the next sendmmsg call. This means a call with completely valid arguments could get an error from a previous call. Change things so we only return an error if no datagrams could be sent. If less than the requested number of messages were sent, the application must retry starting at the first failed one and if the problem is persistent the error will be returned. This matches the behaviour of other syscalls like read/write - it is not an error if less than the requested number of elements are sent.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change is meant to add an ntuple data extensions to the rx network flow classification specifiers. The idea is to allow ntuple to be displayed via the network flow classification interface. The first patch had some left over stuff from the original flow extension flags I had added. That bit is removed in this patch. The second had some left over comments that stated we ignored bits in the masks when we actually match them. This work is based on input from Ben Hutchings.

| * fs: scale mntget/mntputNick Piggin2011-01-071-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability. We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
| * fs: improve scalability of pseudo filesystemsNick Piggin2011-01-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regardless of how much we possibly try to scale dcache, there is likely always going to be some fundamental contention when adding or removing children under the same parent. Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected dentries because by definition they are disconnected. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
| * fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin2011-01-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
| * fs: avoid inode RCU freeing for pseudo fsNick Piggin2011-01-071-8/+9

| * fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin2011-01-071-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
