net, sched: convert Qdisc.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-04T21:35:16+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.

net: sched: Fix one possible panic when no destroy callback

2017-06-29T16:55:12+00:00

When qdisc fail to init, qdisc_create would invoke the destroy callback to cleanup. But there is no check if the callback exists really. So it would cause the panic if there is no real destroy callback like the qdisc codel, fq, and so on. Take codel as an example following: When a malicious user constructs one invalid netlink msg, it would cause codel_init->codel_change->nla_parse_nested failed. Then kernel would invoke the destroy callback directly but qdisc codel doesn't define one. It causes one panic as a result. Now add one the check for destroy to avoid the possible panic.

net: sched: introduce tcf block infractructure

2017-05-17T19:22:13+00:00

Currently, the filter chains are direcly put into the private structures of qdiscs. In order to be able to have multiple chains per qdisc and to allow filter chains sharing among qdiscs, there is a need for common object that would hold the chains. This introduces such object and calls it "tcf_block". Helpers to get and put the blocks are provided to be called from individual qdisc code. Also, the original filter_list pointers are left in qdisc privs to allow the entry into tcf_block processing without any added overhead of possible multiple pointer dereference on fast path.

net: sched: optimize class dumps

2017-05-12T01:37:40+00:00

In commit 59cc1f61f09c ("net: sched: convert qdisc linked list to hashtable") we missed the opportunity to considerably speed up tc_dump_tclass_root() if a qdisc handle is provided by user. Instead of iterating all the qdiscs, use qdisc_match_from_root() to directly get the one we look for.

net: rtnetlink: plumb extended ack to doit function

2017-04-17T19:35:38+00:00

Add netlink_ext_ack arg to rtnl_doit_func. Pass extack arg to nlmsg_parse for doit functions that call it directly. This is the first step to using extended error reporting in rtnetlink. >From here individual subsystems can be updated to set netlink_ext_ack as needed.

Subject: net: allow configuring default qdisc

2017-04-17T17:23:06+00:00

Since 3.12 it has been possible to configure the default queuing discipline via sysctl. This patch adds ability to configure the default queue discipline in kernel configuration. This is useful for environments where configuring the value from userspace is difficult to manage. The default is still the same as before (pfifo_fast) and it is possible to change after kernel init with sysctl. This is similar to how TCP congestion control works.

netlink: pass extended ACK struct to parsing functions

net: sched: make default fifo qdiscs appear in the dump

2017-03-13T05:53:02+00:00

The original reason [1] for having hidden qdiscs (potential scalability issues in qdisc_match_from_root() with single linked list in case of large amount of qdiscs) has been invalidated by 59cc1f61f0 ("net: sched: convert qdisc linked list to hashtable"). This allows us for bringing more clarity and determinism into the dump by making default pfifo qdiscs visible. We're not turning this on by default though, at it was deemed [2] too intrusive / unnecessary change of default behavior towards userspace. Instead, TCA_DUMP_INVISIBLE netlink attribute is introduced, which allows applications to request complete qdisc hierarchy dump, including the ones that have always been implicit/invisible. Singleton noop_qdisc stays invisible, as teaching the whole infrastructure about singletons would require quite some surgery with very little gain (seeing no qdisc or seeing noop qdisc in the dump is probably setting the same user expectation).
