* [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP optionChristoph Lameter2006-03-221-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap() is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure. Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and I cannot find a reason for having this option. There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely) or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not check for SLAB_NO_REAP) Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

* [PATCH] kcalloc(): INT_MAX -> ULONG_MAXAdrian Bunk2006-03-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since size_t has the same size as a long on all architectures, it's enough for overflow checks to check against ULONG_MAX. This change could allow a compiler better optimization (especially in the n=1 case). The practical effect seems to be positive, but quite small: text data bss dec hex filename 21762380 5859870 1848928 29471178 1c1b1ca vmlinux-old 21762211 5859870 1848928 29471009 1c1b121 vmlinux-patched Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] mm: simplify vmscan vs release refcountingNick Piggin2006-03-221-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VM has an interesting race where a page refcount can drop to zero, but it is still on the LRU lists for a short time. This was solved by testing a 0->1 refcount transition when picking up pages from the LRU, and dropping the refcount in that case. Instead, use atomic_add_unless to ensure we never pick up a 0 refcount page from the LRU, thus a 0 refcount page will never have its refcount elevated until it is allocated again.

When performing such writes from the kernel this is not a problem, as a kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU during execution, and mmiowb() calls can guarantee write ordering when control of the IO resource is allowed to move between threads. However, when MMIO writes can be performed from user space (e.g. DRM) there are no such guarantees and mechanisms, as the process may context-switch at any time, and may migrate to a different CPU as part of the switch. For such programs/hardware to operate correctly, it is required that the MMIO writes from the old CPU be accepted by the IO hardware before subsequent writes from the new CPU can be issued. The following patch implements this behavior on SN2 by waiting for a Shub register to indicate that these writes have been accepted. This is placed in the context switch-in path, and only performs the wait when the newly scheduled task changes CPUs.

In particular, this is needed on the Xscale which is a 32-bit architecture with a u64 type that requires 64-bit alignment. This problem was reported by Ronen Shitrit. The crypto_tfm structure's size was 44 bytes on 32-bit architectures and 80 bytes on 64-bit architectures. So adding this requirement only means that we have to add an extra 4 bytes on 32-bit architectures. On i386 the natural alignment is 16 bytes which also benefits the VIA Padlock as it no longer has to manually align its context structure to 128 bits.

We can merge these two operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum. This makes sense since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the checksum. I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call csum_partial anyway. Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the len argument. As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return value which essentially means that there is no check on the len argument.

All the DECnet header files are updated accordingly. The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves. Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be. One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing code have been found and fixed. There are still a few warnings to fix, but this patch deals with the important cases.

Patch purpose: This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the security context of an IPSec security association a particular TCP or UDP socket is using. The application can then use this security context to determine the security context for processing on behalf of the peer at the other end of this connection. In the case of UDP, the security context is for each individual packet. An example application is the inetd daemon, which could be modified to start daemons running at security contexts dependent on the remote client. Patch design approach: - Design for TCP The patch enables the SELinux LSM to set the peer security context for a socket based on the security context of the IPSec security association. The application may retrieve this context using getsockopt. When called, the kernel determines if the socket is a connected (TCP_ESTABLISHED) TCP socket and, if so, uses the dst_entry cache on the socket to retrieve the security associations. If a security association has a security context, the context string is returned, as for UNIX domain sockets. - Design for UDP Unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless. This requires a somewhat different API to retrieve the peer security context. With TCP, the peer security context stays the same throughout the connection, thus it can be retrieved at any time between when the connection is established and when it is torn down. With UDP, each read/write can have different peer and thus the security context might change every time. As a result the security context retrieval must be done TOGETHER with the packet retrieval. The solution is to build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages that are bundled together with a normal message). Patch implementation details: - Implementation for TCP The security context can be retrieved by applications using getsockopt with the existing SO_PEERSEC flag. As an example (ignoring error checking): getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERSEC, optbuf, &optlen); printf("Socket peer context is: %s\n", optbuf); The SELinux function, selinux_socket_getpeersec, is extended to check for labeled security associations for connected (TCP_ESTABLISHED == sk->sk_state) TCP sockets only. If so, the socket has a dst_cache of struct dst_entry values that may refer to security associations. If these have security associations with security contexts, the security context is returned. getsockopt returns a buffer that contains a security context string or the buffer is unmodified. - Implementation for UDP To retrieve the security context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by setting the IP_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. Then the application retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism. An example server application for UDP should look like this: toggle = 1; toggle_len = sizeof(toggle); setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, IP_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len); recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0); if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) { cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr); if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) && cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_IP && cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) { memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext)); } } ip_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option IP_PASSSEC to allow a server socket to receive security context of the peer. A new ancillary message type SCM_SECURITY. When the packet is received we get the security context from the sec_path pointer which is contained in the sk_buff, and copy it to the ancillary message space. An additional LSM hook, selinux_socket_getpeersec_udp, is defined to retrieve the security context from the SELinux space. The existing function, selinux_socket_getpeersec does not suit our purpose, because the security context is copied directly to user space, rather than to kernel space. Testing: We have tested the patch by setting up TCP and UDP connections between applications on two machines using the IPSec policies that result in labeled security associations being built. For TCP, we can then extract the peer security context using getsockopt on either end. For UDP, the receiving end can retrieve the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

A second problem is that the xfrm_nl pointer is not cleared when the socket is releases at module unload time. Protect references of xfrm_nl from outside of xfrm_user by RCU, check that the socket is present in xfrm_aevent_is_on and set it to NULL when unloading xfrm_user.

Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
