RDS: fix rds-ping spinlock recursion

2012-10-09T17:57:23Z

This is the revised patch for fixing rds-ping spinlock recursion according to Venkat's suggestions. RDS ping/pong over TCP feature has been broken for years(2.6.39 to 3.6.0) since we have to set TCP cork and call kernel_sendmsg() between ping/pong which both need to lock "struct sock *sk". However, this lock has already been hold before rds_tcp_data_ready() callback is triggerred. As a result, we always facing spinlock resursion which would resulting in system panic. Given that RDS ping is only used to test the connectivity and not for serious performance measurements, we can queue the pong transmit to rds_wq as a delayed response.

rds: Don't disable BH on BH context

2012-08-23T05:52:04Z

Since we have already in BH context when *_write_space(), *_data_ready() as well as *_state_change() are called, it's unnecessary to disable BH. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rds: set correct msg_namelen

2012-07-23T08:01:44Z

Jay Fenlason (fenlason@redhat.com) found a bug, that recvfrom() on an RDS socket can return the contents of random kernel memory to userspace if it was called with a address length larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_in). rds_recvmsg() also fails to set the addr_len paramater properly before returning, but that's just a bug. There are also a number of cases wher recvfrom() can return an entirely bogus address. Anything in rds_recvmsg() that returns a non-negative value but does not go through the "sin = (struct sockaddr_in *)msg->msg_name;" code path at the end of the while(1) loop will return up to 128 bytes of kernel memory to userspace. And I write two test programs to reproduce this bug, you will see that in rds_server, fromAddr will be overwritten and the following sock_fd will be destroyed. Yes, it is the programmer's fault to set msg_namelen incorrectly, but it is better to make the kernel copy the real length of address to user space in such case. How to run the test programs ? I test them on 32bit x86 system, 3.5.0-rc7. 1 compile gcc -o rds_client rds_client.c gcc -o rds_server rds_server.c 2 run ./rds_server on one console 3 run ./rds_client on another console 4 you will see something like: server is waiting to receive data... old socket fd=3 server received data from client:data from client msg.msg_namelen=32 new socket fd=-1067277685 sendmsg() : Bad file descriptor /***************** rds_client.c ********************/ int main(void) { int sock_fd; struct sockaddr_in serverAddr; struct sockaddr_in toAddr; char recvBuffer[128] = "data from client"; struct msghdr msg; struct iovec iov; sock_fd = socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); if (sock_fd < 0) { perror("create socket error\n"); exit(1); } memset(&serverAddr, 0, sizeof(serverAddr)); serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; serverAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); serverAddr.sin_port = htons(4001); if (bind(sock_fd, (struct sockaddr*)&serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) < 0) { perror("bind() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } memset(&toAddr, 0, sizeof(toAddr)); toAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; toAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); toAddr.sin_port = htons(4000); msg.msg_name = &toAddr; msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(toAddr); msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_iov->iov_base = recvBuffer; msg.msg_iov->iov_len = strlen(recvBuffer) + 1; msg.msg_control = 0; msg.msg_controllen = 0; msg.msg_flags = 0; if (sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("sendto() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("client send data:%s\n", recvBuffer); memset(recvBuffer, '\0', 128); msg.msg_name = &toAddr; msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(toAddr); msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_iov->iov_base = recvBuffer; msg.msg_iov->iov_len = 128; msg.msg_control = 0; msg.msg_controllen = 0; msg.msg_flags = 0; if (recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("recvmsg() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("receive data from server:%s\n", recvBuffer); close(sock_fd); return 0; } /***************** rds_server.c ********************/ int main(void) { struct sockaddr_in fromAddr; int sock_fd; struct sockaddr_in serverAddr; unsigned int addrLen; char recvBuffer[128]; struct msghdr msg; struct iovec iov; sock_fd = socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); if(sock_fd < 0) { perror("create socket error\n"); exit(0); } memset(&serverAddr, 0, sizeof(serverAddr)); serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; serverAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); serverAddr.sin_port = htons(4000); if (bind(sock_fd, (struct sockaddr*)&serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) < 0) { perror("bind error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("server is waiting to receive data...\n"); msg.msg_name = &fromAddr; /* * I add 16 to sizeof(fromAddr), ie 32, * and pay attention to the definition of fromAddr, * recvmsg() will overwrite sock_fd, * since kernel will copy 32 bytes to userspace. * * If you just use sizeof(fromAddr), it works fine. * */ msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(fromAddr) + 16; /* msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(fromAddr); */ msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_iov->iov_base = recvBuffer; msg.msg_iov->iov_len = 128; msg.msg_control = 0; msg.msg_controllen = 0; msg.msg_flags = 0; while (1) { printf("old socket fd=%d\n", sock_fd); if (recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("recvmsg() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("server received data from client:%s\n", recvBuffer); printf("msg.msg_namelen=%d\n", msg.msg_namelen); printf("new socket fd=%d\n", sock_fd); strcat(recvBuffer, "--data from server"); if (sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("sendmsg()\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } } close(sock_fd); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Weiping Pan Signed-off-by: David S.

rds_rdma: don't assume infiniband device is PCI

2012-05-29T21:30:07Z

RDS code assumes that the struct ib_device dma_device member, which is a pointer, points to a struct device embedded in a struct pci_dev. This is not the case for ehca, for example, which is a OF driver, and makes dma_device point to a struct device embedded in a struct platform_device. This will make the system crash when rds_rdma is loaded in a system with ehca, since it will try to access the bus member of a non-existent struct pci_dev. The only reason rds_rdma uses the struct pci_dev is to get the NUMA node the device is attached to. Using dev_to_node for that is much better, since it won't assume which bus the infiniband is attached to.

sock: Introduce named constants for sk_reuse

2012-04-21T19:52:25Z

Name them in a "backward compatible" manner, i.e. reuse or not are still 1 and 0 respectively. The reuse value of 2 means that the socket with it will forcibly reuse everyone else's port. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30Z

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier to read. Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17Z

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network namespace. This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the initial network namespace in other namespaces. This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for sysctls right from the start. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

RDS: use gfp flags from caller in conn_alloc()

2012-03-22T23:29:58Z

We should be using the gfp flags the caller specified here, instead of GFP_KERNEL. I think this might be a bugfix, depending on the value of "sock->sk->sk_allocation" when we call rds_conn_create_outgoing() in rds_sendmsg(). Otherwise, it's just a cleanup.
