ipv6: Set default hoplimit as zero.

2012-10-25T03:14:17Z

Commit a02e4b7dae4551(Demark default hoplimit as zero) only changes the hoplimit checking condition and default value in ip6_dst_hoplimit, not zeros all hoplimit default value. Keep the zeroing ip6_template_metrics[RTAX_HOPLIMIT - 1] to force it as const, cause as a37e6e344910(net: force dst_default_metrics to const section) Signed-off-by: Li RongQing Signed-off-by: David S.

SUNRPC: Get rid of the xs_error_report socket callback

2012-10-24T14:46:15Z

Chris Perl reports that we're seeing races between the wakeup call in xs_error_report and the connect attempts. Basically, Chris has shown that in certain circumstances, the call to xs_error_report causes the rpc_task that is responsible for reconnecting to wake up early, thus triggering a disconnect and retry. Since the sk->sk_error_report() calls in the socket layer are always followed by a tcp_done() in the cases where we care about waking up the rpc_tasks, just let the state_change callbacks take responsibility for those wake ups.

SUNRPC: Prevent races in xs_abort_connection()

2012-10-24T14:46:08Z

The call to xprt_disconnect_done() that is triggered by a successful connection reset will trigger another automatic wakeup of all tasks on the xprt->pending rpc_wait_queue. In particular it will cause an early wake up of the task that called xprt_connect(). All we really want to do here is clear all the socket-specific state flags, so we split that functionality out of xs_sock_mark_closed() into a helper that can be called by xs_abort_connection() Reported-by: Chris Perl Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Chris Perl

Revert "SUNRPC: Ensure we close the socket on EPIPE errors too..."

2012-10-24T14:45:39Z

This reverts commit 55420c24a0d4d1fce70ca713f84aa00b6b74a70e. Now that we clear the connected flag when entering TCP_CLOSE_WAIT, the deadlock described in this commit is no longer possible. Instead, the resulting call to xs_tcp_shutdown() can interfere with pending reconnection attempts.

SUNRPC: Clear the connect flag when socket state is TCP_CLOSE_WAIT

tcp: Reject invalid ack_seq to Fast Open sockets

2012-10-23T06:42:56Z

A packet with an invalid ack_seq may cause a TCP Fast Open socket to switch to the unexpected TCP_CLOSING state, triggering a BUG_ON kernel panic. When a FIN packet with an invalid ack_seq# arrives at a socket in the TCP_FIN_WAIT1 state, rather than discarding the packet, the current code will accept the FIN, causing state transition to TCP_CLOSING. This may be a small deviation from RFC793, which seems to say that the packet should be dropped. Unfortunately I did not expect this case for Fast Open hence it will trigger a BUG_ON panic. It turns out there is really nothing bad about a TFO socket going into TCP_CLOSING state so I could just remove the BUG_ON statements. But after some thought I think it's better to treat this case like TCP_SYN_RECV and return a RST to the confused peer who caused the unacceptable ack_seq to be generated in the first place.

net: fix secpath kmemleak

2012-10-22T19:16:07Z

Mike Kazantsev found 3.5 kernels and beyond were leaking memory, and tracked the faulty commit to a1c7fff7e18f59e ("net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()") While this commit seems fine, it uncovered a bug introduced in commit bad43ca8325 ("net: introduce skb_try_coalesce()), in function kfree_skb_partial()"): If head is stolen, we free the sk_buff, without removing references on secpath (skb->sp). So IPsec + IP defrag/reassembly (using skb coalescing), or TCP coalescing could leak secpath objects. Fix this bug by calling skb_release_head_state(skb) to properly release all possible references to linked objects.

tcp: add SYN/data info to TCP_INFO

2012-10-22T19:16:06Z

Add a bit TCPI_OPT_SYN_DATA (32) to the socket option TCP_INFO:tcpi_options. It's set if the data in SYN (sent or received) is acked by SYN-ACK. Server or client application can use this information to check Fast Open success rate. Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
