[TCP]: Don't enter to fast recovery while using FRTO

Because TCP is not in Loss state during FRTO recovery, fast
recovery could be triggered by accident. Non-SACK FRTO is more
robust than not yet included SACK-enhanced version (that can
receiver high number of duplicate ACKs with SACK blocks during
FRTO), at least with unidirectional transfers, but under
extraordinary patterns fast recovery can be incorrectly
triggered, e.g., Data loss+ACK losses => cumulative ACK with
enough SACK blocks to meet sacked_out >= dupthresh condition).

[TCP] FRTO: fixes fallback to conventional recovery

The FRTO detection did not care how ACK pattern affects to cwnd
calculation of the conventional recovery. This caused incorrect
setting of cwnd when the fallback becames necessary. The
knowledge tcp_process_frto() has about the incoming ACK is now
passed on to tcp_enter_frto_loss() in allowed_segments parameter
that gives the number of segments that must be added to
packets-in-flight while calculating the new cwnd.

Instead of snd_una we use FLAG_DATA_ACKED in duplicate ACK
detection because RFC4138 states (in Section 2.2):
  If the first acknowledgment after the RTO retransmission
  does not acknowledge all of the data that was retransmitted
  in step 1, the TCP sender reverts to the conventional RTO
  recovery.  Otherwise, a malicious receiver acknowledging
  partial segments could cause the sender to declare the
  timeout spurious in a case where data was lost.

If the next ACK after RTO is duplicate, we do not retransmit
anything, which is equal to what conservative conventional
recovery does in such case.

Retransmission counter assumptions are to be changed. Forcing
reason to do this exist: Using sysctl in check would be racy
as soon as FRTO starts to ignore some ACKs (doing that in the
following patches). Userspace may disable it at any moment
giving nice oops if timing is right. frto_counter would be
inaccessible from userspace, but with SACK enhanced FRTO
retrans_out can include other than head, and possibly leaving
it non-zero after spurious RTO, boom again.

Luckily, solution seems rather simple: never go directly to Open
state but use Disorder instead. This does not really change much,
since TCP could anyway change its state to Disorder during FRTO
using path tcp_fastretrans_alert -> tcp_try_to_open (e.g., when
a SACK block makes ACK dubious). Besides, Disorder seems to be
the state where TCP should be if not recovering (in Recovery or
Loss state) while having some retransmissions in-flight (see

cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bug

There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in
cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL.  One example of the resulting
oops is seen here:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41

Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two
concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO
or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling
will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL.

Read the more complete analysis at:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57

potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the
kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls).

The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the
rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the

The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read
lock.  As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race
condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which
results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount.

This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(),
into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around
the entire critical section.

[PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement option

noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.

"req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list"

[MIPS] Fix wrong checksum for split TCP packets on 64-bit MIPS

I've traced down an off-by-one TCP checksum calculation error under
the following conditions:

1) The TCP code needs to split a full-sized packet due to a reduced
   MSS (typically due to the addition of TCP options mid-stream like
   SACK).
   _AND_
2) The checksum of the 2nd fragment is larger than the checksum of the
   original packet.  After subtraction this results in a checksum for
   the 1st fragment with bits 16..31 set to 1. (this is ok)
   _AND_
3) The checksum of the 1st fragment's TCP header plus the previously
   32bit checksum of the 1st fragment DOES NOT cause a 32bit overflow
   when added together.  This results in a checksum of the TCP header
   plus TCP data that still has the upper 16 bits as 1's.
   _THEN_
4) The TCP+data checksum is added to the checksum of the pseudo IP
   header with csum_tcpudp_nofold() incorrectly (the bug).

The problem is the checksum of the TCP+data is passed to
csum_tcpudp_nofold() as an 32bit unsigned value, however the assembly
code acts on it as if it is a 64bit unsigned value.

This causes an incorrect 32->64bit extension if the sum has bit 31
set.  The resulting checksum is off by one.

This problems is data and TCP header dependent due to #2 and #3
above so it doesn't occur on every TCP packet split.

Revert "e1000: fix NAPI performance on 4-port adapters"

This reverts commit 60cba200f11b6f90f35634c5cd608773ae3721b7.  It's been
linked to lockups of the e1000 hardware, see for example

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229603

but it's likely that the commit itself is not really introducing the
bug, but just allowing an unrelated problem to rear its ugly head (ie
one current working theory is that the code exposes us to a hardware
race condition by decreasing the amount of time we spend in each NAPI
poll cycle).

We'll revert it until root cause is known.  Intel has a repeatable
reproduction on two different machines and bus traces of the hardware
doing something bad.

[PPP]: Fix skbuff.c:BUG due incorrect logic in process_input_packet()

This fixes:

Subject: kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c in linux-2.6.21-rc6

process_input_packet() treats the case where the first byte is 0xff
(PPP_ALLSTATIONS) but the second byte is 0x03 (PPP_UI) as indicating a
packet with a PPP protocol number of 0xff.  Arguably that's wrong
since PPP protocol 0xff is reserved, and the RFC does envision the
possibility of receiving frames where the control field has values
other than 0x03.

17 years agospidernet: Fix problem sending IP fragments
Linas Vepstas [Tue, 17 Apr 2007 05:54:13 +0000 (22:54 -0700)]
spidernet: Fix problem sending IP fragments

The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet
frames (that actually work):
 - It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.)
 - The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of
packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.)
 - Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum)
 - Actual payload
 - Ethernet checksum

Now what's different for IP fragment:
 - The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments),
offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following
according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame.
 - UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP
datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only
true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid
UDP-header at all.

The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to
compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames
are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames.

But IP fragments are different as explained above:
I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees
incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame
and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP
fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid
UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments.

The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the
spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able
to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly
(ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW).
But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to
handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready
computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE).

Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send
the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they
have different structure the silicon detects them the be not
"well-formed" and skips them.

The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the
IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not
try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.

[NETLINK]: Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socket

There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release()
that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero
callback is freed.

Here it is:

CPU1:                           CPU2
netlink_release():              netlink_dump_start():
