15 years agor8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d
Simon Wunderlich [Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:47:33 +0000 (06:47 -0700)]
r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d

The 8110SC rev d chip on our board shows a regression which the 8110SB chip
did not have. When inbound traffic is overflowing the receive descriptor queue,
"holes" in the ring buffer may occur which lead to a hangup until the buffer
is filled again. The packets are than completely processed, but the ring
remains porous and no packets are processed until the next overflow. Setting
the interface down and up can fix the problem temporary from userspace.

For some reason we don't know, this behaviour is not occuring if the RxVlan
bit for hardware VLAN untagging is set. There is another "Work around for
AMD plateform" in the current code which checks the VLAN status
word in receive descriptors, but does never come to effect when hardware
VLAN support is enabled. We assume that this is a bug in the chip.

The following patch fixes the problem. Without the patch we could reproduce
the hang within minutes (given other devices also generating lots of
interrupts), without we couldn't reproduce within a few days of long term
testing.

This version contains minor style adjustments and is sent with mutt which
will hopefully not destroy the formatting again.

tcp: accept socket after TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period

Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years
were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients
that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be
converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the
listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished.
Then application server can decide to wait longer for data
or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read()
returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after
the deferring period. This change still can have side effects
for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted
socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or
without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can
ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for
clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring
period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not
as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't
send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs.
Thanks to Willy Tarreau for the initial idea and to
Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

Tomoki Sekiyama [Mon, 19 Oct 2009 06:17:37 +0000 (23:17 -0700)]
AF_UNIX: Fix deadlock on connecting to shutdown socket

I found a deadlock bug in UNIX domain socket, which makes able to DoS
attack against the local machine by non-root users.

How to reproduce:
1. Make a listening AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket with an abstruct
    namespace(*), and shutdown(2) it.
 2. Repeat connect(2)ing to the listening socket from the other sockets
    until the connection backlog is full-filled.
 3. connect(2) takes the CPU forever. If every core is taken, the
    system hangs.

PoC code: (Run as many times as cores on SMP machines.)

int main(void)
{
int ret;
int csd;
int lsd;
struct sockaddr_un sun;

/* make an abstruct name address (*) */
memset(&sun, 0, sizeof(sun));
sun.sun_family = PF_UNIX;
sprintf(&sun.sun_path[1], "%d", getpid());

/* create the listening socket and shutdown */
lsd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
bind(lsd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun));
listen(lsd, 1);
shutdown(lsd, SHUT_RDWR);

/* connect loop */
alarm(15); /* forcely exit the loop after 15 sec */
for (;;) {
csd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
ret = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun));
if (-1 == ret) {
perror("connect()");
break;
}
puts("Connection OK");
}
return 0;
}

(*) Make sun_path[0] = 0 to use the abstruct namespace.
    If a file-based socket is used, the system doesn't deadlock because
    of context switches in the file system layer.

Why this happens:
 Error checks between unix_socket_connect() and unix_wait_for_peer() are
 inconsistent. The former calls the latter to wait until the backlog is
 processed. Despite the latter returns without doing anything when the
 socket is shutdown, the former doesn't check the shutdown state and
 just retries calling the latter forever.

Patch:
 The patch below adds shutdown check into unix_socket_connect(), so
 connect(2) to the shutdown socket will return -ECONREFUSED.

TI DaVinci EMAC: Clear statistics register properly.

The mechanism to clear the statistics register is dependent
on the status of GMIIEN bit in MAC control register. If the
GMIIEN bit is set, the stats registers are write to decrement.
If the GMIIEN bit is cleared, the stats registers are plain
read/write registers. The stats register clearing operation
must take into account the current state of GMIIEN as it
can be cleared when the interface is brought down.

With existing implementation logic, querying for interface stats
when the interface is down, can corrupt the statistics counters.

15 years agotcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeout
Willy Tarreau [Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:27:40 +0000 (00:27 -0700)]
tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeout

I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.

This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :

       TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
          Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
          on the socket.  Takes an integer value  (seconds), this
          can  bound  the  maximum  number  of attempts TCP will
          make to complete the connection. This option should not
          be used in code intended to be portable.

Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :

        case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
                if (val > 0) {
                        /* Translate value in seconds to number of
                         * retransmits */
                        while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
                               val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
                                       icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
                                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                        icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                }
                break;

==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.

But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

full and the last link pointer is not zero, then none of the blocks are
