Around jiffies wrap time (i.e. within first 5 mins after boot), recent
match rules which contain both --seconds and --hitcount arguments
experience false matches.
This is because the last_pkts array is filled with zeros on creation, and
when comparing 'now' to 0 (+ --seconds argument), time_before_eq thinks it
has found a hit.
Below patch adds a break if the packet value is zero. This has the
unfortunate side effect of causing mismatches if a packet was received
when jiffies really was equal to zero. The odds of that happening are
slim compared to the problems caused by not adding the break however.
Plus, the author used this same method just below, so it is "good enough".
This fixes netfilter bugs #383 and #395.

Mounting NFS file systems after a (warm) reboot could take a long time if
firewalling and connection tracking was enabled.
The reason is that the NFS clients tends to use the same ports (800 and
counting down). Now on reboot, the server would still have a TCB for an
existing TCP connection client:800 -> server:2049. The client sends a
SYN from port 800 to server:2049, which elicits an ACK from the server.
The firewall on the client drops the ACK because (from its point of
view) the connection is still in half-open state, and it expects to see
a SYNACK.
The client will eventually time out after several minutes.
The following patch corrects this, by accepting ACKs on half open
connections as well.

The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB. It wastes memory that
could be better used. It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.
The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes. It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time. I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory. While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.
The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.
tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
numentries=thash_entries
scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
limit=0
On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K
The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory. The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB. For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.
For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11
For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.
The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.
In alloc_large_system_hash-
| numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
| numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
| numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
| numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.
| /* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
| if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
| numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
| else
| numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);
On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.
| log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
| do {
| size = bucketsize << log2qty;
bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.
On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.
For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash. That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c

This is a patch for discussion addressing some receive buffer growing issues.
This is partially related to the thread "Possible BUG in IPv4 TCP window
handling..." last week.
Specifically it addresses the problem of an interaction between rcvbuf
moderation (receiver autotuning) and rcv_ssthresh. The problem occurs when
sending small packets to a receiver with a larger MTU. (A very common case I
have is a host with a 1500 byte MTU sending to a host with a 9k MTU.) In
such a case, the rcv_ssthresh code is targeting a window size corresponding
to filling up the current rcvbuf, not taking into account that the new rcvbuf
moderation may increase the rcvbuf size.
One hunk makes rcv_ssthresh use tcp_rmem[2] as the size target rather than
rcvbuf. The other changes the behavior when it overflows its memory bounds
with in-order data so that it tries to grow rcvbuf (the same as with
out-of-order data).
These changes should help my problem of mixed MTUs, and should also help the
case from last week's thread I think. (In both cases though you still need
tcp_rmem[2] to be set much larger than the TCP window.) One question is if
this is too aggressive at trying to increase rcvbuf if it's under memory
stress.

TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful.
On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and
50Mbits/sec without TSO.
The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum
number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until
we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window
unless we have filled, as per RFC2861.
This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.
In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.
The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:
1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages
2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6
3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design
4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT
The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

BIC 1.0 and the default there was 32. Later code (2.6.13) included
compensation for delayed acks, and should have reduced the default
value to 16; since normally TCP gets one ack for every two packets sent.
The current value of 32 makes BIC too aggressive and unfair to other

only forwarded multicast traffic making use of filters and doing empty-source

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.
1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO
This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.
UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets
1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.
2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for
"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"
skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.
skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.
For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.

This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.
In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.
The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.
When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.
When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.
In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.
In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

This patch kills a redundant rcu_dereference on fa->fa_info in fib_trie.c.
As this dereference directly follows a list_for_each_entry_rcu line, we
have already taken a read barrier with respect to getting an entry from
the list.
This read barrier guarantees that all values read out of fa are valid.
In particular, the contents of structure pointed to by fa->fa_info is
initialised before fa->fa_info is actually set (see fn_trie_insert);
the setting of fa->fa_info itself is further separated with a write
barrier from the insertion of fa into the list.
Therefore by taking a read barrier after obtaining fa from the list
(which is given by list_for_each_entry_rcu), we can be sure that
fa->fa_info contains a valid pointer, as well as the fact that the
data pointed to by fa->fa_info is itself valid.

This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP:
* Fix transport mode MTU overestimate. This means that the inner MTU
is smaller than it needs be. Worse yet, given an input MTU which
is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not
a multiple of 4.
For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of
1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should
be 1464.
The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple
of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6.
* Ensure that the block size is at least 4. This is required by RFC2406
and corresponds to what the esp_output function does. At the moment
this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay. This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called. Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.
In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all. So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.
This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.

Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other
pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo)
(The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line,
so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs)
1) First some performance data :
--------------------------------
tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established()
The most time critical code is :
sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}
The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.
As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.
This can be problematic if some chains are very long.
2) The goal
-----------
The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.
3) Description of the patch
---------------------------
Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.
struct sock_common {
unsigned short skc_family;
volatile unsigned char skc_state;
unsigned char skc_reuse;
int skc_bound_dev_if;
struct hlist_node skc_node;
struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
atomic_t skc_refcnt;
+ unsigned int skc_hash;
struct proto *skc_prot;
};
Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.
Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)
File include/net/inet_hashtables.h
64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \
((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
(((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \
(inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \
(!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))
- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

Handle better the case where the sender sends full sized
frames initially, then moves to a mode where it trickles
out small amounts of data at a time.
This known problem is even mentioned in the comments
above tcp_grow_window() in tcp_input.c, specifically:
...
* The scheme does not work when sender sends good segments opening
* window and then starts to feed us spagetti. But it should work
* in common situations. Otherwise, we have to rely on queue collapsing.
...
When the sender gives full sized frames, the "struct sk_buff" overhead
from each packet is small. So we'll advertize a larger window.
If the sender moves to a mode where small segments are sent, this
ratio becomes tilted to the other extreme and we start overrunning
the socket buffer space.
tcp_clamp_window() tries to address this, but it's clamping of
tp->window_clamp is a wee bit too aggressive for this particular case.
Fix confirmed by Ion Badulescu.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
But retain the comment fix.
Alexey Kuznetsov has explained the situation as follows:
--------------------
I think the fix is incorrect. Look, the RFC function init_cwnd(mss) is
not continuous: f.e. for mss=1095 it needs initial window 1095*4, but
for mss=1096 it is 1096*3. We do not know exactly what mss sender used
for calculations. If we advertised 1096 (and calculate initial window
3*1096), the sender could limit it to some value < 1096 and then it
will need window his_mss*4 > 3*1096 to send initial burst.
See?
So, the honest function for inital rcv_wnd derived from
tcp_init_cwnd() is:
init_rcv_wnd(mss)=
min { init_cwnd(mss1)*mss1 for mss1 <= mss }
It is something sort of:
if (mss < 1096)
return mss*4;
if (mss < 1096*2)
return 1096*4;
return mss*2;
(I just scrablled a graph of piece of paper, it is difficult to see or
to explain without this)
I selected it differently giving more window than it is strictly
required. Initial receive window must be large enough to allow sender
following to the rfc (or just setting initial cwnd to 2) to send
initial burst. But besides that it is arbitrary, so I decided to give
slack space of one segment.
Actually, the logic was:
If mss is low/normal (<=ethernet), set window to receive more than
initial burst allowed by rfc under the worst conditions
i.e. mss*4. This gives slack space of 1 segment for ethernet frames.
For msses slighlty more than ethernet frame, take 3. Try to give slack
space of 1 frame again.
If mss is huge, force 2*mss. No slack space.
Value 1460*3 is really confusing. Minimal one is 1096*2, but besides
that it is an arbitrary value. It was meant to be ~4096. 1460*3 is
just the magic number from RFC, 1460*3 = 1095*4 is the magic :-), so
that I guess hands typed this themselves.

When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all
distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink
interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko.
This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate
the nat code, even if you don't want it.
This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the
iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko). Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will
only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend. ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate
some resources, but not affect runtime performance.
This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters

This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in
multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same
function:
Bug #1:
The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the
call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be
moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX
oops and deadlock reports.
Bug #2:
We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without
holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race
with another CPU.
Bug #3:
ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh
(and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be
performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb
parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting
"ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible
for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that,
tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the
retransmission path.
When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become
invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular
packet on the retransmission queue.
Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno
case. The following patch does exactly that.
This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you
need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the

memory read on an arbitrary address. The result of the read is not
returned directly but you may be able to divine some information about
it, or use the read to cause a crash on some architectures by reading
hardware state. CAN-2004-2492.

The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context
where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS.
This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that
are so marked.
Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in
tcp_fragment(). This is exactly what the following patch does.
We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking
if they exist.

ip_ct_refresh_acct() can be called without a valid "skb" pointer.
This used to work, since ct_add_counters() deals with that fact.

Instead of maintaining an array containing a list of nodes this instance
is responsible for let's use a simple bitmap. This provides the
following features:
* clusterip_responsible() and the add_node()/delete_node() operations
become very simple and don't need locking
* the config structure is much smaller
In spite of the completely different internal data representation the
user-space interface remains almost unchanged; the only difference is
that the proc file does not list nodes in the order they were added.
(The target info structure remains the same.)

The CLUSTERIP target creates a procfs entry for all different cluster
IPs. Although more than one rules can refer to a single cluster IP (and
thus a single config structure), removal of the procfs entry is done
unconditionally in destroy(). In more complicated situations involving
deferred dereferencing of the config structure by procfs and creating a
new rule with the same cluster IP it's also possible that no entry will
be created for the new rule.
This patch fixes the problem by counting the number of entries
referencing a given config structure and moving the config list
manipulation and procfs entry deletion parts to the
clusterip_config_entry_put() function.

ip_vs_ftp when loaded can create NAT connections with unknown client
port for passive FTP. For such expectations we lookup with cport=0 on
incoming packet but it matches the format of the persistence templates
causing packets to other persistent virtual servers to be forwarded to
real server without creating connection. Later the reply packets are
treated as foreign and not SNAT-ed.
This patch changes the connection lookup for packets from clients:
* introduce IP_VS_CONN_F_TEMPLATE connection flag to mark the
connection as template
* create new connection lookup function just for templates -
ip_vs_ct_in_get
* make sure ip_vs_conn_in_get hits only connections with
IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT flag set when s_port is 0. By this way
we avoid returning template when looking for cport=0 (ftp)

The problem is that the SACK fragmenting code may incorrectly call
tcp_fragment() with a length larger than the skb->len. This happens
when the skb on the transmit queue completely falls to the LHS of the

error more quickly in the future.

In 2.6.13-rcX the MASQUERADE target was changed not to exclude local
packets for better source address consistency. This breaks DHCP clients
using UDP sockets when the DHCP requests are caught by a MASQUERADE rule
because the MASQUERADE target drops packets when no address is configured
on the outgoing interface. This patch makes it ignore packets with a
source address of 0.

One such place that can damage the dst refcnts is route.c with
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED enabled, i don't see the user's
.config. In this new code i see that rt_intern_hash is called before
dst->refcnt is set to 1, dst is the 2nd arg to rt_intern_hash.
Arg 2 of rt_intern_hash must come with refcnt 1 as it is added to
table or dropped depending on error/add/update. One such example is
ip_mkroute_input where __mkroute_input return rth with refcnt 0 which
is provided to rt_intern_hash. ip_mkroute_output looks like a 2nd such
place. Appending untested patch for comments and review. The idea is
to put previous reference as we are going to return next result/error.

A UDP packet may contain extra data that needs to be trimmed off.
But when doing so, UDP forgets to fixup the skb checksum if CHECKSUM_HW

When the NAT module is loaded when connections are already confirmed
it must not change their tuples anymore. This is especially important
with CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG, the netfilter listhelp functions will
refuse to remove an entry from a list when it can not be found on
the list, so when a changed tuple hashes to a new bucket the entry
is kept in the list until and after the conntrack is freed.
Allocate the exact conntrack tuple for NAT for already confirmed

I've finally found a potential cause of the sk_forward_alloc underflows
that people have been reporting sporadically.
When tcp_sendmsg tacks on extra bits to an existing TCP_PAGE we don't
check sk_forward_alloc even though a large amount of time may have
elapsed since we allocated the page. In the mean time someone could've
come along and liberated packets and reclaimed sk_forward_alloc memory.
This patch makes tcp_sendmsg check sk_forward_alloc every time as we
do in do_tcp_sendpages.
