From df4d92549f23e1c037e83323aff58a21b3de7fe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:01:26 +0100 Subject: ipv4: try to cache dst_entries which would cause a redirect Not caching dst_entries which cause redirects could be exploited by hosts on the same subnet, causing a severe DoS attack. This effect aggravated since commit f88649721268999 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()"). Lookups causing redirects will be allocated with DST_NOCACHE set which will force dst_release to free them via RCU. Unfortunately waiting for RCU grace period just takes too long, we can end up with >1M dst_entries waiting to be released and the system will run OOM. rcuos threads cannot catch up under high softirq load. Attaching the flag to emit a redirect later on to the specific skb allows us to cache those dst_entries thus reducing the pressure on allocation and deallocation. This issue was discovered by Marcelo Leitner.
