2007-02-08[NET]: change layout of ehash tableEric Dumazet
ehash table layout is currently this one : First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state. This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads are located in separate cache lines. Moreover the locks of the second half are never used. If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change. In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE). I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket... Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'. Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug, its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.

2007-01-30[IPV6]: fix BUG of ndisc_send_redirect()Li Yewang
When I tested IPv6 redirect function about kernel 2.6.19.1, and found that the kernel can send redirect packets whose target address is global address, and the target is not the actual endpoint of communication. But the criteria conform to RFC2461, the target address defines as following: Target Address An IP address that is a better first hop to use for he ICMP Destination Address. When the target is the actual endpoint of communication, i.e., the destination is a neighbor, the Target Address field MUST contain the same value as the ICMP Destination Address field. Otherwise the target is a better first-hop router and the Target Address MUST be the router's link-local address so that hosts can uniquely identify routers. According to this definition, when a router redirect to a host, the target address either the better first-hop router's link-local address or the same as the ICMP destination address field. But the function of ndisc_send_redirect() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, does not check the target address correctly. There is another definition about receive Redirect message in RFC2461: 8.1. Validation of Redirect Messages A host MUST silently discard any received Redirect message that does not satisfy all of the following validity checks: ...... - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). ...... And the receive redirect function of ndisc_redirect_rcv() implemented this definition, checks the target address correctly. if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } So, I think the send redirect function must check the target address also.

2007-01-09[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_ipv6: fix crash when handling fragmentsPatrick McHardy
When IPv6 connection tracking splits up a defragmented packet into its original fragments, the packets are taken from a list and are passed to the network stack with skb->next still set. This causes dev_hard_start_xmit to treat them as GSO fragments, resulting in a use after free when connection tracking handles the next fragment.

Commit 590bdf7fd2292b47c428111cb1360e312eff207e introduced a regression in match/target hook validation. mark_source_chains builds a bitmask for each rule representing the hooks it can be reached from, which is then used by the matches and targets to make sure they are only called from valid hooks. The patch moved the match/target specific validation before the mark_source_chains call, at which point the mask is always zero. This patch returns back to the old order and moves the standard checks to mark_source_chains. This allows to get rid of a special case for standard targets as a nice side-effect.

2006-12-02[UDP(-Lite)]: consolidate v4 and v6 get|setsockopt codeGerrit Renker
This patch consolidates set/getsockopt code between UDP(-Lite) v4 and 6. The justification is that UDP(-Lite) is a transport-layer protocol and therefore the socket option code (at least in theory) should be AF-independent. Furthermore, there is the following code reduplication: * do_udp{,v6}_getsockopt is 100% identical between v4 and v6 * do_udp{,v6}_setsockopt is identical up to the following differerence --v4 in contrast to v4 additionally allows the experimental encapsulation types UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP and UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP_NON_IKE --the remainder is identical between v4 and v6 I believe that this difference is of little relevance. The advantages in not duplicating twice almost completely identical code. The patch further simplifies the interface of udp{,v6}_push_pending_frames, since for the second argument (struct udp_sock *up) it always holds that up = udp_sk(sk); where sk is the first function argument.
