When processing a received IPv6 Router Advertisement, the kernel creates or updates an IPv6 Neighbor Cache entry for the sender -- but presently this does not occur if IPv6 forwarding is enabled (net.ipv6.conf.*.forwarding = 1), or if IPv6 Router Advertisements are not accepted (net.ipv6.conf.*.accept_ra = 0), because in these cases processing of the Router Advertisement has already halted. This patch allows the Neighbor Cache to be updated in these cases, while still avoiding any modification to routes or link parameters. This continues to satisfy RFC 4861, since any entry created in the Neighbor Cache as the result of a received Router Advertisement is still placed in the STALE state. Signed-off-by:

There is a race condition in the time-wait sockets code that can lead to premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 and, subsequently, to RST generation when the FIN,ACK from the peer finally arrives: Time TCP header 0.000000 30755 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Win=2920 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=282912 TSER=0 0.000008 http > 30755 aSYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=2896 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=... 0.136899 HEAD /1b.html?n1Lg=v1 HTTP/1.0 [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136934 HTTP/1.0 200 OK [Packet size limited during capture] 0.136945 http > 30755 [FIN, ACK] Seq=187 Ack=207 Win=2690 Len=0 TSV=270521... 0.136974 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=187 Win=2734 Len=0 TSV=283049 TSER=... 0.177983 30755 > http [ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283089 TSER=... 0.238618 30755 > http [FIN, ACK] Seq=207 Ack=188 Win=2733 Len=0 TSV=283151... 0.238625 http > 30755 [RST] Seq=188 Win=0 Len=0 Say twdr->slot = 1 and we are running inet_twdr_hangman and in this instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make twdr->slot = 2. Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo) is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1. At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one. To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the slot have been purged. This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we would probably see delays... Signed-off-by:

Here is rework and cleanup of the resize function. Some bugs we had. We were using ->parent when we should use node_parent(). Also we used ->parent which is not assigned by inflate in inflate loop. Also a fix to set thresholds to power 2 to fit halve and double strategy. max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates it's function. Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed. max_work only limits amount of work done per resize. (limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc). The clean-up makes it relatively easy to add fixed sized root-nodes if we would like to decrease the memory pressure on routers with large routing tables and dynamic routing. If we'll need that... Its been tested with 280k routes. Work done together with Robert Olsson. Signed-off-by:

if tunnel parameters have frag_off set to IP_DF, pmtudisc on the ipv4 link will be performed by deriving the mtu from the ipv4 link and setting the DF-Flag of the encapsulating IPv4 Header. If fragmentation is needed on the way, the IPv4 pmtu gets adjusted, the ipv6 package will be resent eventually, using the new and lower mtu and everyone is happy. If the frag_off parameter is unset, the mtu for the tunnel will be derived from the tunnel device or the ipv6 pmtu, which might be higher than the ipv4 pmtu. In that case we must allow the fragmentation of the IPv4 packet because the IPv6 mtu wouldn't 'learn' from the adjusted IPv4 pmtu, resulting in frequent icmp_frag_needed and package loss on the IPv6 layer. This patch allows fragmentation when tunnel was created with parameter nopmtudisc, like in ipip/gre tunnels. Signed-off-by:

While doing some forwarding benchmarks, I noticed ip_rt_send_redirect() is rather expensive, even if send_redirects is false for the device. Fix is to avoid two atomic ops, we dont really need to take a reference on in_dev Signed-off-by:

This changes how the pktgen thread spins/waits between packets if delay is configured. It uses a high res timer to wait for time to arrive. Signed-off-by:

Do some reorganization of transmit logic path: * move transmit queue full idle to separate routine * add a cpu_relax() * eliminate some of the uneeded goto's * if queue is still stopped, go back to main thread loop. * don't give up transmitting if quantum is exhausted (be greedy) Signed-off-by:

TX completions were running in a workqueue queued by the ISR. This patch moves the processing of TX completions to an existing RSS NAPI context. Now each irq vector runs NAPI for one RSS ring and one or more TX completion rings. Signed-off-by:

Currently we downshift to MSI/Legacy if we don't get enough vectors for cpu_count RSS rings plus cpu_count TX completion rings. This patch allows running MSIX with the vector count that the platform provides. Signed-off-by:

Ron Mercer authored
Currently we have three types of RX rings. 1) Default ring - services rx_ring for broadcast/multicast, handles firmware events, and errors. 2) TX completion ring - handles only outbound completions. 3) RSS ring - handles only inbound completions. This patch gets rid of the default ring type and moves it's functionality into the first RSS ring. This makes better use of MSIX vectors since they are a limited resource on some platforms.

bonding: Have bond_check_dev_link examine netif_running Some network devices do not call netif_carrier_off when they are set administratively down. Have the bonding link check function also inspect the netif_running state. Ignore netif_running if the bond_check_dev_link function is called with "reporting" set, as in that case it's inspecting the capabilities of the non-netif_carrier device driver. Signed-off-by:
