When a new link instance is created, it is trigged to start by sending it a TIPC_STARTING_EVT, whereafter a regular link reset is applied to it. The starting event is codewise treated as a timeout event, and prompts a link RESET message to be sent to the peer node, carrying a link session identifier. The later link_reset() call nudges this session identifier, whereafter all subsequent RESET messages will be sent out with the new identifier. The latter session number overrides the former, causing the peer to unconditionally accept it irrespective of its current working state. We don't think that this causes any problem, but it is not in accordance with the protocol spec, and may cause confusion when debugging TIPC sessions. To avoid this, we make the starting event distinct from the subsequent timeout events, by not allowing the former to send out any RESET message. This eliminates the described problem.

Instances of struct node are created in the function tipc_disc_rcv() under the assumption that there is no race between received discovery messages arriving from the same node. This assumption is wrong. When we use more than one bearer, it is possible that discovery messages from the same node arrive at the same moment, resulting in creation of two instances of struct tipc_node. This may later cause confusion during link establishment, and may result in one of the links never becoming activated. We fix this by making lookup and potential creation of nodes atomic. Instead of first looking up the node, and in case of failure, create it, we now start with looking up the node inside node_link_create(), and return a reference to that one if found. Otherwise, we go ahead and create the node as we did before.

During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish contact with its peer when it comes available. However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted; which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished. Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re- establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question. We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

When a bearer is disabled, all pertaining links will be reset and deleted. However, if there is a second active link towards a killed link's destination, the delete has to be postponed until the failover is finished. During this interval, we currently put the link in zombie mode, i.e., we take it out of traffic, delete its timer, but leave it attached to the owner node structure until all missing packets have been received. When this is done, we detach the link from its node and delete it, assuming that the synchronous timer deletion that was initiated earlier in a different thread has finished. This is unsafe, as the failover may finish before del_timer_sync() has returned in the other thread. We fix this by adding an atomic reference counter of type kref in struct tipc_link. The counter keeps track of the references kept to the link by the owner node and the timer. We then do a conditional delete, based on the reference counter, both after the failover has been finished and when the timer expires, if applicable. Whoever comes last, will actually delete the link. This approach also implies that we can make the deletion of the timer asynchronous.

bridge: Let bridge not age 'externally' learnt FDB entries, they are removed when 'external' entity notifies the aging When 'learned_sync' flag is turned on, the offloaded switch port syncs learned MAC addresses to bridge's FDB via switchdev notifier (NETDEV_SWITCH_FDB_ADD). Currently, FDB entries learnt via this mechanism are wrongly being deleted by bridge aging logic.

A typical qdisc setup is the following : bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu doing the send. Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus, due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets. CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1 CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0 CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0 enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0 enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0) get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu might be different than CPUA. P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping), if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock) Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX queue for a while) To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb. We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu, granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for this union idea) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic. For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as explained in commit e3118e83 ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE. For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue. As already explained in e3118e83, running DCTCP at scale when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of connection probability. This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being considered a terrible idea in the network community as it splits single flows across multiple network paths. Therefore, commit e3118e83 implements this on Linux as ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't speak against the draft. However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD. Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

Willem de Bruijn says: ==================== net-timestamp: blinding Changes (v2 -> v3) - rebase only: v2 did not make it to patchwork / netdev (v1 -> v2) - fix capability check in patch 2 this could be moved into net/core/sock.c as sk_capable_nouser() (rfc -> v1) - dropped patch 4: timestamp batching due to complexity, as discussed - dropped patch 5: default mode because it does not really cover all use cases, as discussed - added documentation - minor fix, see patch 2 Two issues were raised during recent timestamping discussions: 1. looping full packets on the error queue exposes packet headers 2. TCP timestamping with retransmissions generates many timestamps This RFC patchset is an attempt at addressing both without breaking legacy behavior. Patch 1 reintroduces the "no payload" timestamp option, which loops timestamps onto an empty skb. This reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF from looping many timestamps. It does not reduce the number of recv() calls needed to process them. The timestamp cookie mechanism developed in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/427213/ did, but this is considerably simpler. Patch 2 then gives administrators the power to block all timestamp requests that contain data by unprivileged users. I proposed this earlier as a backward compatible workaround in the discussion of net-timestamp: pull headers for SOCK_STREAM http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414810/ Patch 3 only updates the txtimestamp example to test this option. Verified that with option '-n', length is zero in all cases and option '-I' (PKTINFO) stops working. ==================== Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set. Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW. The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack. It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier. No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible breakage of legacy applications.

Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets. Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF.

The Intel Snowfield Peak Bluetooth controllers use a strict scanning filter policy that filters based on Bluetooth device addresses and not on RSSI. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@intel.com>

When using LE_SCAN_FILTER_DUP_ENABLE, some controllers would send advertising report from each LE device only once. That means that we don't get any updates on RSSI value, and makes Service Discovery very slow. This patch adds restarting scan when in Service Discovery, and device with filtered uuid is found, but it's not in RSSI range to send event yet. This way if device moves into range, we will quickly get RSSI update. Signed-off-by: Jakub Pawlowski <jpawlowski@google.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
