net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code

2018-05-23T01:36:26Z

[ Upstream commit 7c3f1875c66fbc19762760097cabc91849ea0bbb ] The default value for somaxconn is set in sysctl_core_net_init(), but this function is not called when kernel is configured without CONFIG_SYSCTL. This results in the kernel not being able to accept TCP connections, because the backlog has zero size. Usually, the user ends up with: "TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 7. Dropping request. Check SNMP counters." If SYN cookies are not enabled the connection is rejected. Before ef547f2ac16 (tcp: remove max_qlen_log), the effects were less severe, because the backlog was always at least eight slots long. Signed-off-by: Roman Kapl Signed-off-by: David S.

netns: return RTM_NEWNSID instead of RTM_GETNSID on a get

2015-05-12T22:53:25Z

Usually, RTM_NEWxxx is returned on a get (same as a dump). Fixes: 0c7aecd4bde4 ("netns: add rtnl cmd to add and get peer netns ids") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: allow to dump netns ids

2015-04-07T21:29:41Z

Which this patch, it's possible to dump the list of ids allocated for peer netns. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: notify netns id events

2015-04-07T21:29:41Z

With this patch, netns ids that are created and deleted are advertised into the group RTNLGRP_NSID. Because callers of rtnl_net_notifyid() already know the id of the peer, there is no need to call __peernet2id() in rtnl_net_fill(). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: minor cleanup in rtnl_net_getid()

No need to initialize err, it will be overridden by the value of nlmsg_parse(). Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: don't allocate an id for dead netns

2015-04-03T16:36:31Z

First, let's explain the problem. Suppose you have an ipip interface that stands in the netns foo and its link part in the netns bar (so the netns bar has an nsid into the netns foo). Now, you remove the netns bar: - the bar nsid into the netns foo is removed - the netns exit method of ipip is called, thus our ipip iface is removed: => a netlink message is built in the netns foo to advertise this deletion => this netlink message requests an nsid for bar, thus a new nsid is allocated for bar and never removed. This patch adds a check in peernet2id() so that an id cannot be allocated for a netns which is currently destroyed. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Revert "netns: don't clear nsid too early on removal"

2015-04-03T16:36:31Z

This reverts commit 4217291e592d ("netns: don't clear nsid too early on removal"). This is not the right fix, it introduces races. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

In 'net' we added a READ_ONCE() to the socket cached RX route read, whilst in 'net-next' Eric Dumazet touched the surrounding code dealing with how mini sockets are handled. With USB, it's a case of the same bug fix first going into net-next and then I cherry picked it back into net. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
