ath9k: fix BUG_ON triggered by PAE frames

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:

commit 6c8afef551fef87a3bf24f8a74c69a7f2f72fc82
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date:   Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530

    ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames

After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():

    index  = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
    cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);

    BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);

I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.

This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing.
This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets
for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a
connection is established.  Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to
violate the latest RFC draft for tipc:
http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt
Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all
commands be sent in network byte order.  So instead of just taking this patch,
instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to
ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path.

As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which
searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list,
for the entry to tear down.  unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr
structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing
will ever match.  section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower>
tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just
match on those fields (properly endian swapped).

I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue.

14 years agonet: fix route cache rebuilds
Eric Dumazet [Mon, 8 Mar 2010 03:20:00 +0000 (03:20 +0000)]
net: fix route cache rebuilds

We added an automatic route cache rebuilding in commit 1080d709fb9d8cd43
but had to correct few bugs. One of the assumption of original patch,
was that entries where kept sorted in a given way.

This assumption is known to be wrong (commit 1ddbcb005c395518 gave an
explanation of this and corrected a leak) and expensive to respect.

Paweł Staszewski reported to me one of his machine got its routing cache
disabled after few messages like :

[ 2677.850065] Route hash chain too long!
[ 2677.850080] Adjust your secret_interval!
[82839.662993] Route hash chain too long!
[82839.662996] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.731650] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.731664] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.811881] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.811891] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.858209] vlan0811: 5 rebuilds is over limit, route caching
disabled
[155843.858212] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.858213] Adjust your secret_interval!

This is because rt_intern_hash() might be fooled when computing a chain
length, because multiple entries with same keys can differ because of
TOS (or mark/oif) bits.

In the rare case the fast algorithm see a too long chain, and before
taking expensive path, we call a helper function in order to not count
duplicates of same routes, that only differ with tos/mark/oif bits. This
helper works with data already in cpu cache and is not be very
expensive, despite its O(N^2) implementation.

Paweł Staszewski sucessfully tested this patch on his loaded router.

Zhu Yi [Thu, 4 Mar 2010 18:01:40 +0000 (18:01 +0000)]
net: add limit for socket backlog

We got system OOM while running some UDP netperf testing on the loopback
device. The case is multiple senders sent stream UDP packets to a single
receiver via loopback on local host. Of course, the receiver is not able
to handle all the packets in time. But we surprisingly found that these
packets were not discarded due to the receiver's sk->sk_rcvbuf limit.
Instead, they are kept queuing to sk->sk_backlog and finally ate up all
the memory. We believe this is a secure hole that a none privileged user
can crash the system.

The root cause for this problem is, when the receiver is doing
__release_sock() (i.e. after userspace recv, kernel udp_recvmsg ->
skb_free_datagram_locked -> release_sock), it moves skbs from backlog to
sk_receive_queue with the softirq enabled. In the above case, multiple
busy senders will almost make it an endless loop. The skbs in the
backlog end up eat all the system memory.

The issue is not only for UDP. Any protocols using socket backlog is
potentially affected. The patch adds limit for socket backlog so that
the backlog size cannot be expanded endlessly.

gianfar: Fix TX ring processing on SMP machines

Starting with commit a3bc1f11e9b867a4f49505 ("gianfar: Revive SKB
recycling") gianfar driver sooner or later stops transmitting any
packets on SMP machines.

start_xmit() prepares new skb for transmitting, generally it does
three things:

1. sets up all BDs (marks them ready to send), except the first one.
2. stores skb into tx_queue->tx_skbuff so that clean_tx_ring()
   would cleanup it later.
3. sets up the first BD, i.e. marks it ready.

Here is what clean_tx_ring() does:

1. reads skbs from tx_queue->tx_skbuff
2. checks if the *last* BD is ready. If it's still ready [to send]
   then it it isn't transmitted, so clean_tx_ring() returns.
   Otherwise it actually cleanups BDs. All is OK.

Now, if there is just one BD, code flow:

- start_xmit(): stores skb into tx_skbuff. Note that the first BD
  (which is also the last one) isn't marked as ready, yet.
- clean_tx_ring(): sees that skb is not null, *and* its lstatus
  says that it is NOT ready (like if BD was sent), so it cleans
  it up (bad!)
- start_xmit(): marks BD as ready [to send], but it's too late.

We can fix this simply by reordering lstatus/tx_skbuff writes.

What happens is that, when the tipc module in inserted it enters a standalone
node mode in which communication to its own address is allowed <0.0.0> but not
to other addresses, since the appropriate data structures have not been
allocated yet (specifically the tipc_net pointer).  There is nothing stopping a
client from trying to send such a message however, and if that happens, we
attempt to dereference tipc_net.zones while the pointer is still NULL, and
explode.  The fix is pretty straightforward.  Since these oopses all arise from
the dereference of global pointers prior to their assignment to allocated
values, and since these allocations are small (about 2k total), lets convert
these pointers to static arrays of the appropriate size.  All the accesses to
these bits consider 0/NULL to be a non match when searching, so all the lookups
still work properly, and there is no longer a chance of a bad dererence
anywhere.  As a bonus, this lets us eliminate the setup/teardown routines for
those pointers, and elimnates the need to preform any locking around them to
prevent access while their being allocated/freed.

I've updated the tipc_net structure to behave this way to fix the exact reported
problem, and also fixed up the tipc_bearers and media_list arrays to fix an
obvious simmilar problem that arises from issuing tipc-config commands to
manipulate bearers/links prior to entering networked mode

I've tested this for a few hours by running the sanity tests and stress test
with the tipcutils suite, and nothing has fallen over.  There have been a few
lockdep warnings, but those were there before, and can be addressed later, as
they didn't actually result in any deadlock.
