From 12b101555f4a67db67a66966a516075bd477741f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Oester Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:01:50 -0700 Subject: [IPV4]: Fix null dereference in ip_defrag Been seeing occasional panics in my testing of 2.6.25-rc in ip_defrag. Offending line in ip_defrag is here: net = skb->dev->nd_net where dev is NULL. Bisected the problem down to commit ac18e7509e7df327e30d6e073a787d922eaf211d ([NETNS][FRAGS]: Make the inet_frag_queue lookup work in namespaces). Below patch (idea from Patrick McHardy) fixes the problem for me. Signed-off-by: Phil Oester Acked-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.

The packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller than a page. Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can always be sent immediately. The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal. This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436 MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than 16436. I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections, but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that those cases don't regress.
