netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int

2016-11-18T15:59:15+00:00

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned. There are 2 reasons to do so: 1) This field is really an index into an zero based array and thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound access by definition. 2) On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers are preffered to signed 32-bit data. "int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended to 64-bit before being used. void f(long *p, int i) { g(p[i]); } roughly translates to movsx rsi, esi mov rdi, [rsi+...] call g MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default. Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses "int" as an array index: static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id) { ... ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1]; ... } And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up. Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk messing with code generation): add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730) Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger. This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be used which is longer than [r8] However, overall balance is in negative direction: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730) function old new delta nfsd4_lock 3886 3959 +73 tipc_link_build_proto_msg 1096 1140 +44 mac80211_hwsim_new_radio 2776 2808 +32 tipc_mon_rcv 1032 1058 +26 svcauth_gss_legacy_init 1413 1429 +16 tipc_bcbase_select_primary 379 392 +13 nfsd4_exchange_id 1247 1260 +13 nfsd4_setclientid_confirm 782 793 +11 ... put_client_renew_locked 494 480 -14 ip_set_sockfn_get 730 716 -14 geneve_sock_add 829 813 -16 nfsd4_sequence_done 721 703 -18 nlmclnt_lookup_host 708 686 -22 nfsd4_lockt 1085 1063 -22 nfs_get_client 1077 1050 -27 tcf_bpf_init 1106 1076 -30 nfsd4_encode_fattr 5997 5930 -67 Total: Before=154856051, After=154854321, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S.

net: fix sleeping for sk_wait_event()

2016-11-14T18:17:21+00:00

Similar to commit 14135f30e33c ("inet: fix sleeping inside inet_wait_for_connect()"), sk_wait_event() needs to fix too, because release_sock() is blocking, it changes the process state back to running after sleep, which breaks the previous prepare_to_wait(). Switch to the new wait API. Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Note that ipoib has no min_mtu set, and thus, the network core's mtu > 0 check is the only lower bounds here. mptlan: - use net core MTU range checking - remove now redundant mpt_lan_change_mtu fddi: - min_mtu = 21, max_mtu = 4470 - remove now redundant fddi_change_mtu (including export) fjes: - min_mtu = 8192, max_mtu = 65536 - The max_mtu value is actually one over IP_MAX_MTU here, but the idea is to get past the core net MTU range checks so fjes_change_mtu can validate a new MTU against what it supports (see fjes_support_mtu in fjes_hw.c) hsr: - min_mtu = 0 (calls ether_setup, max_mtu is 1500) f_phonet: - min_mtu = 6, max_mtu = 65541 u_ether: - min_mtu = 14, max_mtu = 15412 phonet/pep-gprs: - min_mtu = 576, max_mtu = 65530 - remove redundant gprs_set_mtu CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org CC: Stefan Richter CC: Faisal Latif CC: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org CC: Cliff Whickman CC: Robin Holt CC: Jes Sorensen CC: Marek Lindner CC: Simon Wunderlich CC: Antonio Quartulli CC: Sathya Prakash CC: Chaitra P B CC: Suganath Prabu Subramani CC: MPT-FusionLinux.pdl@broadcom.com CC: Sebastian Reichel CC: Felipe Balbi CC: Arvid Brodin CC: Remi Denis-Courmont Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson Signed-off-by: David S.

sock: struct proto hash function may error

2016-02-11T08:54:14+00:00

In order to support fast reuseport lookups in TCP, the hash function defined in struct proto must be capable of returning an error code. This patch changes the function signature of all related hash functions to return an integer and handles or propagates this return value at all call sites.

phonet: properly unshare skbs in phonet_rcv()

2016-01-12T17:05:38+00:00

Ivaylo Dimitrov reported a regression caused by commit 7866a621043f ("dev: add per net_device packet type chains"). skb->dev becomes NULL and we crash in __netif_receive_skb_core(). Before above commit, different kind of bugs or corruptions could happen without major crash. But the root cause is that phonet_rcv() can queue skb without checking if skb is shared or not.

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack.

phonet netlink: allow multiple messages per skb in route dump

2015-01-19T21:20:17+00:00

My previous patch to this file changed the code to be bug-compatible towards userspace. Unless userspace (which I wasn't able to find) implements the dump reader by hand in a wrong way, this isn't needed. If it uses libnl or similar code putting multiple messages into a single SKB is far more efficient. Change the code to do this. While at it, also clean it up and don't use so many variables - just store the address in the callback args directly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void

2015-01-18T06:03:45+00:00

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.
