Per cpu variable softnet_data.total was shared between IRQ and SoftIRQ context without any protection. And enqueue_to_backlog should update the netdev_rx_stat of the target CPU. This patch renames softnet_data.total to softnet_data.processed: the number of packets processed in uppper levels(IP stacks). softnet_stat data is moved into softnet_data. Signed-off-by:

In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot") we uninlined skb_pull. But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing and it helps performance significantly. Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that serves also as annotation. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by:

sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming packet. RCU conversion is pretty much needed : 1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer). [Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing] 2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in sock_alloc_inode(). 3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq" 4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct socket_wq" 5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of sk->sk_sleep 6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside a rcu_read_lock() section. 7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to : - Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) - Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks. - Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) 8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well. 9) Exceptions : macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq" instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing. Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...). Signed-off-by:

We dereference "sk" unconditionally elsewhere in the function. This was left over from: b30bd282 "ip6_xmit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr check". According to that commit message, "the sk argument to ip6_xmit is never NULL nowadays since the skb->priority assigment expects a valid socket." Signed-off-by:

This patch removes vid/pid for Ericsson MBM devices from the whitelist set of devices. The MBM devices are instead identified by GUID. In order for cdc_ether to handle these devices the GUID in the MDLM descriptor is tested. All MBM devices currently handled by cdc_ether as well as future CDC Ethernet MBM devices can be identified by the GUID. This is the same solution used in Carl Nordbeck's mbm driver, http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2008/11/17/4141384/thread I post this as RFC to get feedback on however cdc_ether is the correct place to do the binding, or if it should be done in a separate driver, e.g. zaurus.

When queueing a skb to socket, we can immediately release its dst if target socket do not use IP_CMSG_PKTINFO. tcp_data_queue() can drop dst too. This to benefit from a hot cache line and avoid the receiver, possibly on another cpu, to dirty this cache line himself. Signed-off-by:

Since commit 95766fff ([UDP]: Add memory accounting.), each received packet needs one extra sock_lock()/sock_release() pair. This added latency because of possible backlog handling. Then later, ticket spinlocks added yet another latency source in case of DDOS. This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh() synchronization primitives, avoiding one atomic operation and backlog processing. skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown lock_sock()/release_sock(). skb is orphaned inside locked section for proper socket memory reclaim, and finally freed outside of it. UDP receive path now take the socket spinlock only once. Signed-off-by:

The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param: if (NULL == *errp) *errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk, ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length)); if (*errp) { sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length))); sctp_addto_chunk(*errp, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)), param.v); When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally, given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately, we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data. The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173 I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue. We move to a strategy whereby we allocate a fixed size error chunk and ignore errors we don't have space to report.

Due to this the function cfcnfg_linkdestroy_rsp does nothing anymore. o Because disconnect may take down a connection before a connect response is received the function cfcnfg_linkup_rsp is checking if the client is still waiting for the response, if not a disconnect request is sent to the modem. o cfctrl is no longer keeping track of pending disconnect requests. o Added function cfctrl_cancel_req, which is used for deleting a pending connect request if disconnect is done before connect response is received. o Removed unused function cfctrl_insert_req2 o Added better handling of connect reject from modem.
