16 years agotcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
Sridhar Samudrala [Wed, 21 May 2008 23:42:20 +0000 (16:42 -0700)]
tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.

I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.

In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.

So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

l2tp: avoid skb truesize bug if headroom is increased

A user reported seeing occasional bugs such as the following when
using the L2TP driver.

  SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (272) len=72, sizeof(sk_buff)=208

When L2TP adds its header in the transmit path, it might need to
increase the headroom of the skb. In some cases, the increased
headroom trips a kernel bug when the skb is freed because the skb has
grown beyond its truesize value. The fix is to increase the truesize
by the amount of headroom added, after orphaning the skb.

While here, fix a misleading comment.

Thanks to Iouri Kharon <bc-info@styx.cabel.net> for the initial

rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access

and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name:
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic()

drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces().

16 years agoRemove blkdev warning triggered by using md
Neil Brown [Wed, 14 May 2008 23:05:54 +0000 (16:05 -0700)]
Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.

For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock.  So always initialise that lock when allocated.

With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.

16 years agomemory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap
Heiko Carstens [Wed, 14 May 2008 23:05:52 +0000 (16:05 -0700)]
memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
 Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff.  That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore

list_add(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);

in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.

This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone.  Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized.  Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap.  To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.

The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

atmel_lcdfb: fix initialization of a pre-allocated framebuffer

Fix initialization of framebuffer not calling ioremap_writecombine() function
and not using internal SRAM for at91sam9rl.

This is a little rework of the "Don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer"
patch that corrects the call to ioremap_writecombine() function.

It also cuts the use of internal SRAM for at91sam9rl : it is a bit small
for a framebuffer.

pnp: add ISAPnP MPU option quirks

The AD181x and AZT230 chips don't support an IRQ-less MPU401 option but
work fine without one.  This adds (priority functional) IRQ-less options
for each port option to help systems with few available IRQs.

The AD1815 quirk can't use pnp_register_irq_resource() due to doubly
penalizing the IRQ.  Also, while not a practical issue due to no IRQ
option being present for the dependents, this needs to add in front, not
back.

Doesn't use pnp_register_port_resource() for symetry with above.

This does not delete the AD1815 independent option even though it should
be empty after the IRQ transfer due to AD1816 coming with an empty but
still present independent option by default.

Was tested on AD1815, AD1816 and AZT2320.  The ALSA snd-ad1818a driver

add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust

match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options().  I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.

The source string is a substing of the mount options.  The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero.  See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().

The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.

We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.  PATH_MAX is 4096.  As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.

Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct.  It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.
