i've found that tcp_close() can be called for an already closed
socket, but still sends reset in this case (tcp_send_active_reset())
which seems to be incorrect. Moreover, a packet with reset is sent
with different source port as original port number has been already
cleared on socket. Besides that incrementing stat counter for
LINUX_MIB_TCPABORTONCLOSE also does not look correct in this case.
Initially this issue was found on 2.6.18-x RHEL5 kernel, but the same
seems to be true for the current mainstream kernel (checked on
2.6.35-rc3). Please, correct me if i missed something.
How that happens:
1) the server receives a packet for socket in TCP_CLOSE_WAIT state
that triggers a tcp_reset():

2) After that the process (socket owner) tries to write something to
that socket and "inet_autobind" sets a _new_ (which differs from
the original!) port number for the socket:

sk->sk_err, sk->sk_shutdown);
dump_stack();
}
goto out_err;
}
}
...
4) Then the process (socket owner) understands that it's time to close
that socket and does that (and thus triggers sending reset packet):
Call Trace:

So, in brief:
* a received packet for socket in TCP_CLOSE_WAIT state triggers
tcp_reset() which clears inet_sk(sk)->num and put socket into
TCP_CLOSE state
* an attempt to write to that socket forces inet_autobind() to get a
new port (but the write itself fails with -EPIPE)
* tcp_close() called for socket in TCP_CLOSE state sends an active
reset via socket with newly allocated port
This adds an additional check in tcp_close() for already closed
sockets. We do not want to send anything to closed sockets.

netif_needs_gso() is checked twice in the TX path once,
before submitting the skb to the qdisc and once after
it is dequeued from the qdisc just before calling
ndo_hard_start(). This opens a window for a user to
change the gso/tso or tx checksum settings that can
cause netif_needs_gso to be true in one check and false
in the other.
Specifically, changing TX checksum setting may cause
the warning in skb_gso_segment() to be triggered if
the checksum is calculated earlier.
This consolidates the netif_needs_gso() calls so that
the stack only checks if gso is needed in
dev_hard_start_xmit().

Remove the restriction that only allows connecting to a unix domain
socket identified by unix path that is in the same network namespace.
Crossing network namespaces is always tricky and we did not support
this at first, because of a strict policy of don't mix the namespaces.
Later after Pavel proposed this we did not support this because no one
had performed the audit to make certain using unix domain sockets
across namespaces is safe.
What fundamentally makes connecting to af_unix sockets in other
namespaces is safe is that you have to have the proper permissions on
the unix domain socket inode that lives in the filesystem. If you
want strict isolation you just don't create inodes where unfriendlys
can get at them, or with permissions that allow unfriendlys to open
them. All nicely handled for us by the mount namespace and other
standard file system facilities.
I looked through unix domain sockets and they are a very controlled
environment so none of the work that goes on in dev_forward_skb to
make crossing namespaces safe appears needed, we are not loosing
controll of the skb and so do not need to set up the skb to look like
it is comming in fresh from the outside world. Further the fields in
struct unix_skb_parms should not have any problems crossing network
namespaces.
Now that we handle SCM_CREDENTIALS in a way that gives useable values
across namespaces. There does not appear to be any operational
problems with encouraging the use of unix domain sockets across
containers either.

The sch_teql module, which can be used to load balance over a set of
underlying interfaces, stopped working after 2.6.30 and has been
broken in all kernels since then for any underlying interface which
requires the addition of link level headers.
The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to
access the destination address in the skb in order to do address
resolution once it has decided which underlying interface it is going
to transmit through.
In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by
default for all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be
released before the transmit routine for the interface is called.
The solution is to clear that flag for teql interfaces.

inetpeer currently uses an AVL tree protected by an rwlock.
It's possible to make most lookups use RCU
1) Add a struct rcu_head to struct inet_peer
2) add a lookup_rcu_bh() helper to perform lockless and opportunistic
lookup. This is a normal function, not a macro like lookup().
3) Add a limit to number of links followed by lookup_rcu_bh(). This is
needed in case we fall in a loop.
4) add an smp_wmb() in link_to_pool() right before node insert.
5) make unlink_from_pool() use atomic_cmpxchg() to make sure it can take
last reference to an inet_peer, since lockless readers could increase
refcount, even while we hold peers.lock.
6) Delay struct inet_peer freeing after rcu grace period so that
lookup_rcu_bh() cannot crash.
7) inet_getpeer() first attempts lockless lookup.
Note this lookup can fail even if target is in AVL tree, but a
concurrent writer can let tree in a non correct form.
If this attemps fails, lock is taken a regular lookup is performed
again.
8) convert peers.lock from rwlock to a spinlock
9) Remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN when peer_cachep is created, because
rcu_head adds 16 bytes on 64bit arches, doubling effective size (64 ->
128 bytes)
In a future patch, this is probably possible to revert this part, if rcu
field is put in an union to share space with rid, ip_id_count, tcp_ts &
tcp_ts_stamp. These fields being manipulated only with refcnt > 0.

The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values
to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these
values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless
(for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.)
This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency
values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For
backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps
timeout of 100ms.
Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured
dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct.

There are multiple problems with the newly added netpoll support:
1) Use-after-free on each netpoll packet.
2) Invoking unsafe code on netpoll/IRQ path.
3) Breaks when netpoll is enabled on the underlying device.
This patch fixes all of these problems. In particular, we now
allocate proper netpoll structures for each underlying device.
We only allow netpoll to be enabled on the bridge when all the
devices underneath it support netpoll. Once it is enabled, we
do not allow non-netpoll devices to join the bridge (until netpoll
is disabled again).
This allows us to do away with the npinfo juggling that caused
problem number 1.
Incidentally this patch fixes number 2 by bypassing unsafe code

This patch adds the functions __netpoll_setup/__netpoll_cleanup
which is designed to be called recursively through ndo_netpoll_seutp.
They must be called with RTNL held, and the caller must initialise
np->dev and ensure that it has a valid reference count.

This patch adds ndo_netpoll_setup as the initialisation primitive
to complement ndo_netpoll_cleanup.

As it stands, netpoll_setup and netpoll_cleanup have no locking
protection whatsoever. So chaos ensures if two entities try to
perform them on the same device.
This patch adds RTNL to the equation. The code has been rearranged so
that bits that do not need RTNL protection are now moved to the top of
netpoll_setup.

The use of RCU in netpoll is incorrect in a number of places:
1) The initial setting is lacking a write barrier.
2) The synchronize_rcu is in the wrong place.
3) Read barriers are missing.
4) Some places are even missing rcu_read_lock.
5) npinfo is zeroed after freeing.
This patch fixes those issues. As most users are in BH context,
this also converts the RCU usage to the BH variant.

Now that netpoll always zaps npinfo we no longer need to do it
in bridge.

Since we have to NULL npinfo regardless of whether there is a
ndo_netpoll_cleanup, it makes sense to do this unconditionally
in netpoll_cleanup rather than having every driver do it by
themselves.

This patch implements an idletimer Xtables target that can be used to
identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time.
Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new
label. The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option. If
more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted
whenever any of the rules get a hit.
One entry for each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains the
timer remaining for the timer to expire. The attributes are located under
the xt_idletimer class:
/sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label>
When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the
userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power).
