      af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/connected DGRAM sockets · ec0d215f
      Rainer Weikusat authored
      For n:1 'datagram connections' (eg /dev/log), the unix_dgram_sendmsg
      routine implements a form of receiver-imposed flow control by
      comparing the length of the receive queue of the 'peer socket' with
      the max_ack_backlog value stored in the corresponding sock structure,
      either blocking the thread which caused the send-routine to be called
      or returning EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and
      SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types
      is datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be
      writeable by this routine when the memory presently consumed by
      datagrams owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer
      size. This is always wrong for PF_UNIX non-stream sockets connected to
      server sockets dealing with (potentially) multiple clients if the
      abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full.
      'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but
      a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an (usual)
      application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request with
      O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum.
      
      The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll
      routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the
      recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently
      considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket
      writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally
      put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the
      unix_dgram_recvmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a
      datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly
      as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll
      because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever
      if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue.
      Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named
      'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three
      different places) into a single location.

      tcp: fix for splice receive when used with software LRO · db43a282
      Octavian Purdila authored
      If an skb has nr_frags set to zero but its frag_list is not empty (as
      it can happen if software LRO is enabled), and a previous
      tcp_read_sock has consumed the linear part of the skb, then
      __skb_splice_bits:
      
      (a) incorrectly reports an error and
      
      (b) forgets to update the offset to account for the linear part
      
      Any of the two problems will cause the subsequent __skb_splice_bits
      call (the one that handles the frag_list skbs) to either skip data,
      or, if the unadjusted offset is greater then the size of the next skb
      in the frag_list, make tcp_splice_read loop forever.

      tcp: calculate tcp_mem based on low memory instead of all memory · 57413ebc
      Miquel van Smoorenburg authored
      The tcp_mem array which contains limits on the total amount of memory
      used by TCP sockets is calculated based on nr_all_pages.  On a 32 bits
      x86 system, we should base this on the number of lowmem pages.

      Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a
      racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have
      removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it.  We
      have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines
      or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to
      handle them.
      
      Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just
      drop the incoming packets.

      sctp: Make sure N * sizeof(union sctp_addr) does not overflow. · 735ce972
      David S. Miller authored
      As noticed by Gabriel Campana, the kmalloc() length arg
      passed in by sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old() can overflow
      if ->addr_num is large enough.
      
      Therefore, enforce an appropriate limit.

      netlink: genl: fix circular locking · 6d1a3fb5
      Patrick McHardy authored
      genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
      families:
      
      - dump start:
      genl_rcv()            : take genl_mutex
      genl_rcv_msg()        : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
      netlink_dump_start(),
      netlink_dump()        : take nlk->cb_mutex
      ctrl_dumpfamily()     : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
                              second time
      
      - dump continuance:
      netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
      netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
      ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex
      
      Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
      widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
      dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
      seperate fix for this.
