In commit 8e4d980a ("tcp: fix behavior for epoll edge trigger") we fixed a possible hang of TCP sockets under memory pressure, by allowing sk_stream_alloc_skb() to use sk_forced_mem_schedule() if no packet is in socket write queue. It turns out there are other cases where we want to force memory schedule : tcp_fragment() & tso_fragment() need to split a big TSO packet into two smaller ones. If we block here because of TCP memory pressure, we can effectively block TCP socket from sending new data. If no further ACK is coming, this hang would be definitive, and socket has no chance to effectively reduce its memory usage. Signed-off-by:

[1] When entering NUD_PROBE state via neigh_update(), perhaps received from userspace, correctly (re)initialize the probes count to zero. This is useful for forcing revalidation of a neighbor (for example if the host is attempting to do DNA [IPv4 4436, IPv6 6059]). [2] Notify listeners when a neighbor goes into NUD_PROBE state. By sending notifications on entry to NUD_PROBE state listeners get more timely warnings of imminent connectivity issues. The current notifications on entry to NUD_STALE have somewhat limited usefulness: NUD_STALE is a perfectly normal state, as is NUD_DELAY, whereas notifications on entry to NUD_FAILURE come after a neighbor reachability problem has been confirmed (typically after three probes).

This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6 ("net: allow setting ecn via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout: [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...] Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode, that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"): 1) Normal ECN-capable path: SYN ECE CWR -----> <----- SYN ACK ECE ACK -----> 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN -----> <----- SYN ACK ACK -----> In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop point would basically end up as: SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet (timeout, rtx) In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56% of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related paper on this topic: Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth, Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger: "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification." Proc. PAM 2015, New York. http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that allows for disabling the fallback. tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

The hwmon interface in the be2net driver causes a link error when be2net is built-in while the hwmon subsystem is a loadable module: drivers/built-in.o: In function `be_probe': drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c:5761: undefined reference to `devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups' This adds a new Kconfig symbol, following the example of multiple other drivers that have the same problem. The new CONFIG_BE2NET_HWMON will not be available when (BE2NET=y && HWMON=m) to avoid this problem. We have to also mark be_hwmon_show_temp as 'static' to ensure the compiler can optimize out all the unused code. Signed-off-by:

Andy Zhou says: ==================== fragmentation ICMP Currently, we send ICMP packets when errors occur during fragmentation or de-fragmentation. However, it is a bug when sending those ICMP packets in the context of using netfilter for bridging. Those ICMP packets are only expected in the context of routing, not in bridging mode. The local stack is not involved in bridging forward decisions, thus should be not used for deciding the reverse path for those ICMP messages. This bug only affects IPV4, not in IPv6. v1->v2: restructure the patches into two patches that fix defragmentation and fragmentation respectively. A bit is add in IPCB to control whether ICMP packet should be generated for defragmentation. Fragmentation ICMP is now removed by restructuring the ip_fragment() API. v2->v3: Add droping icmp for bridging contrack users drop exporting ip_fragment() API. v3->v4: Remove unnecessary parentheses in 'return' statements v4->v5: Drop the patch that sets and checks a bit in IPCB that prevents ip_defrag to send ICMP. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

When bridge netfilter re-fragments an IP packet for output, all packets that can not be re-fragmented to their original input size should be silently discarded. However, current bridge netfilter output path generates an ICMP packet with 'size exceeded MTU' message for such packets, this is a bug. This patch refactors the ip_fragment() API to allow two separate use cases. The bridge netfilter user case will not send ICMP, the routing output will, as before. Signed-off-by:

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next. Briefly speaking, cleanups and minor fixes for ipset from Jozsef Kadlecsik and Serget Popovich, more incremental updates to make br_netfilter a better place from Florian Westphal, ARP support to the x_tables mark match / target from and context Zhang Chunyu and the addition of context to know that the x_tables runs through nft_compat. More specifically, they are: 1) Fix sparse warning in ipset/ip_set_hash_ipmark.c when fetching the IPSET_ATTR_MARK netlink attribute, from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 2) Rename STREQ macro to STRNCMP in ipset, also from Jozsef. 3) Use skb->network_header to calculate the transport offset in ip_set_get_ip{4,6}_port(). From Alexander Drozdov. 4) Reduce memory consumption per element due to size miscalculation, this patch and follow up patches from Sergey Popovich. 5) Expand nomatch field from 1 bit to 8 bits to allow to simplify mtype_data_reset_flags(), also from Sergey. 6) Small clean for ipset macro trickery. 7) Fix error reporting when both ip_set_get_hostipaddr4() and ip_set_get_extensions() from per-set uadt functions. 8) Simplify IPSET_ATTR_PORT netlink attribute validation. 9) Introduce HOST_MASK instead of hardcoded 32 in ipset. 10) Return true/false instead of 0/1 in functions that return boolean in the ipset code. 11) Validate maximum length of the IPSET_ATTR_COMMENT netlink attribute. 12) Allow to dereference from ext_*() ipset macros. 13) Get rid of incorrect definitions of HKEY_DATALEN. 14) Include linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set.h in the x_tables set match. 15) Reduce nf_bridge_info size in br_netfilter, from Florian Westphal. 16) Release nf_bridge_info after POSTROUTING since this is only needed from the physdev match, also from Florian. 17) Reduce size of ipset code by deinlining ip_set_put_extensions(), from Denys Vlasenko. 18) Oneliner to add ARP support to the x_tables mark match/target, from Zhang Chunyu. 19) Add context to know if the x_tables extension runs from nft_compat, to address minor problems with three existing extensions. 20) Correct return value in several seqfile *_show() functions in the netfilter tree, from Joe Perches. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

OSA and HiperSocket devices do not support promiscuous mode proper, but they support "BRIDGE PORT" mode that is functionally similar. This update introduces sysfs attribute that, when set, makes the driver try to "reflect" setting and resetting of the IFF_PROMISC flag on the interface into setting and resetting PRIMARY or SECONDARY bridge port role on the underlying OSA or HiperSocket device.

ethtool is used to change some device driver features such as RX/TX hardware checksum offloading. The qeth device driver callback function to turn on/off RX hardware check sum handling never changes the hardware configuration. The NETIF_F_RXCSUM bit is cleared when the feature bitset type netdev_features_t(64bit) is assigned to 32 a bit variable. This patch fixes the NETIF_F_RXCSUM handling. Also there is no need to manipulate the device's features bit set as this is done by the caller when no error occurs. Signed-off-by:

Currently we use a global rover to select a port ID that is unique. This used to work consistently when it was protected with a global lock. However as we're now lockless, the global rover can exhibit pathological behaviour should multiple threads all stomp on it at the same time. Granted this will eventually resolve itself but the process is suboptimal. This patch replaces the global rover with a pseudorandom starting point to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by:

MoCA interfaces require the use of an user-space daemon (mocad) which will typically use cmd->autoneg to force the link. This is causing other network manager applications not to get proper carrier down notifications because of the following sequence of events: - link down interrupt is received, link is set to 0 by the interrupt handler - fixed_link update callback runs and updates the BMSR register accordingly - PHY library polls the PHY for link status, sees the link is down, proceeds with reporting that - mocad gets notified of the link state and call phy_ethtool_sset() with cmd->autoneg set to the link status (0) - phy_start_aneg() is called at the end of phy_ethtool_sset() and sets the PHY state to PHY_FORCING Just make sure we notify the interface carrier appropriately when we detect that the link is down in our fixed_link update callback. This is made local to the bcm_sf2 driver as the PHY library does the right thing in any case. This is similar to the GENET change introduced in 54d7c01d ("net: bcmgenet: enable MoCA link state change detection"). Fixes: 246d7f77 ("net: dsa: add Broadcom SF2 switch driver") Signed-off-by:

Allowing tcp to use ~19% of physical memory is way too much, and allowed bugs to be hidden. Add to this that some drivers use a full page per incoming frame, so real cost can be twice the advertized one.
