* svcrdma: Fix error handling during listening endpoint creationTom Tucker2008-05-191-11/+13
| | | | | | | | | A listening endpoint isn't known to the generic transport switch until the svc_create_xprt function returns without error. Calling svc_xprt_put within the xpo_create function causes the module reference count to be erroneously decremented. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
* svcrdma: Free context on post_recv error in send_replyTom Tucker2008-05-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | If an error is encountered trying to post a recv buffer in send_reply, free the passed in context. Return an error to the caller so it is aware that the request was not posted. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
* svcrdma: Free context on ib_post_recv errorTom Tucker2008-05-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | If there is an error posting the recv WR to the RQ, free the context associated with the WR. This would leak a context when asynchronous errors occurred on the transport while conccurent threads were processing their RPC. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
* svcrdma: Add put of connection ESTABLISHED reference in rdma_cma_handlerTom Tucker2008-05-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The svcrdma transport takes a reference when it gets the ESTABLISHED event from the provider. This reference is supposed to be removed when the DISCONNECT event is received, however, the call to svc_xprt_put was missing in the switch statement. This results in the memory associated with the transport never being freed. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
* svcrdma: Fix return value in svc_rdma_sendTom Tucker2008-05-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Fix the return value on close to -ENOTCONN so caller knows to free context. Also if a thread is waiting for free SQ space, check for close when waking to avoid posting WR to a closing transport. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
* svcrdma: Fix race with dto_tasklet in svc_rdma_sendTom Tucker2008-05-191-18/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The svc_rdma_send function will attempt to reap SQ WR to make room for a new request if it finds the SQ full. This function races with the dto_tasklet that also reaps SQ WR. To avoid polling and arming the CQ unnecessarily move the test_and_clear_bit of the RDMAXPRT_SQ_PENDING flag and arming of the CQ to the sq_cq_reap function. Refactor the rq_cq_reap function to match sq_cq_reap so that the code is easier to follow. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
* svcrdma: Simplify receive buffer postingTom Tucker2008-05-193-35/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | The svcrdma transport provider currently allocates receive buffers to the RQ through the xpo_release_rqst method. This approach is overly complicated since it means that the rqstp rq_xprt_ctxt has to be selectively set based on whether the RPC is going to be processed immediately or deferred. Instead, just post the receive buffer when we are certain that we are replying in the send_reply function. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| * 9p: fix error path during early mountEric Van Hensbergen2008-05-144-20/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior. This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of configuration and initialization. Keeping the fd transport separate from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now when we get an error string from the server that we can't map we report a cryptic error that actually makes it look like we are reporting a problem with the client.

| * 9p: fix flags length in netSteven Rostedt2008-05-142-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some files in the net/9p directory uses "int" for flags. This can cause hard to find bugs on some architectures. This patch converts the flags to use "long" instead. This bug was discovered by doing an allyesconfig make on the -rt kernel where checks are done to ensure all flags are of size sizeof(long).

This causes current ulogd2 code to fail because it uses the ID to build a hash in userspace. This hash is used to be able to output the starting time of a connection. Conntrack ID can be used in userspace application to maintain an easy match between kernel connections list and userspace one. It may worth to add it if there is no performance related issue.

| * tcp FRTO: work-around inorder receiversIlpo Järvinen2008-05-131-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If receiver consumes segments successfully only in-order, FRTO fallback to conventional recovery produces RTO loop because FRTO's forward transmissions will always get dropped and need to be resent, yet by default they're not marked as lost (which are the only segments we will retransmit in CA_Loss). Price to pay about this is occassionally unnecessarily retransmitting the forward transmission(s). SACK blocks help a bit to avoid this, so it's mainly a concern for NewReno case though SACK is not fully immune either. This change has a side-effect of fixing SACKFRTO problem where it didn't have snd_nxt of the RTO time available anymore when fallback become necessary (this problem would have only occured when RTO would occur for two or more segments and ECE arrives in step 3; no need to figure out how to fix that unless the TODO item of selective behavior is considered in future).

Cumulative ACK arrives after FRTO retransmission 2. tcp_try_to_open sees zero retrans_out, clears retrans_stamp which should be kept like in CA_Loss state it would be 3. undo_marker change allowed tcp_packet_delayed to return true because of the cleared retrans_stamp once FRTO is terminated causing LossUndo to occur, which means all loss markings FRTO made are reverted. This means that the conventional recovery basically recovered one loss per RTT, which is not that efficient. It was quite unobvious that the undo_marker change broken something like this, I had a quite long session to track it down because of the non-intuitiviness of the bug (luckily I had a trivial reproducer at hand and I was also able to learn to use kprobes in the process as well :-)). This together with the NewReno+FRTO fix and FRTO in-order workaround this fixes Damon's problems, this and the first mentioned are enough to fix Bugzilla #10063.

| * netns: Fix arbitrary net_device-s corruptions on net_ns stop.Pavel Emelyanov2008-05-081-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().
