tipc: context imbalance at node read unlock

2017-08-25T04:54:34+00:00

If we fail to find a valid bearer in tipc_node_get_linkname(), node_read_unlock() is called without holding the node read lock. This commit fixes this error. Signed-off-by: Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: perform skb_linearize() before parsing the inner header

2017-08-25T04:54:34+00:00

In tipc_rcv(), we linearize only the header and usually the packets are consumed as the nodes permit direct reception. However, if the skb contains tunnelled message due to fail over or synchronization we parse it in tipc_node_check_state() without performing linearization. This will cause link disturbances if the skb was non linear. In this commit, we perform linearization for the above messages.

tipc: don't reset stale broadcast send link

2017-08-21T20:37:45+00:00

When the broadcast send link after 100 attempts has failed to transfer a packet to all peers, we consider it stale, and reset it. Thereafter it needs to re-synchronize with the peers, something currently done by just resetting and re-establishing all links to all peers. This has turned out to be overkill, with potentially unwanted consequences for the remaining cluster. A closer analysis reveals that this can be done much simpler. When this kind of failure happens, for reasons that may lie outside the TIPC protocol, it is typically only one peer which is failing to receive and acknowledge packets. It is hence sufficient to identify and reset the links only to that peer to resolve the situation, without having to reset the broadcast link at all. This solution entails a much lower risk of negative consequences for the own node as well as for the overall cluster. We implement this change in this commit.

tipc: remove premature ESTABLISH FSM event at link synchronization

2017-08-10T05:38:06+00:00

When a link between two nodes come up, both endpoints will initially send out a STATE message to the peer, to increase the probability that the peer endpoint also is up when the first traffic message arrives. Thereafter, if the establishing link is the second link between two nodes, this first "traffic" message is a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL/SYNCH message, helping the peer to perform initial synchronization between the two links. However, the initial STATE message may be lost, in which case the SYNCH message will be the first one arriving at the peer. This should also work, as the SYNCH message itself will be used to take up the link endpoint before initializing synchronization. Unfortunately the code for this case is broken. Currently, the link is brought up through a tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) when a SYNCH arrives, whereupon __tipc_node_link_up() is called to distribute the link slots and take the link into traffic. But, __tipc_node_link_up() is itself starting with a test for whether the link is up, and if true, returns without action. Clearly, the tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) call is unnecessary, since tipc_node_link_up() is itself issuing such an event, but also harmful, since it inhibits tipc_node_link_up() to perform the test of its tasks, and the link endpoint in question hence is never taken into traffic. This problem has been exposed when we set up dual links between pre- and post-4.4 kernels, because the former ones don't send out the initial STATE message described above. We fix this by removing the unnecessary event call. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: check return value of nlmsg_new

2017-04-24T19:51:30+00:00

Function nlmsg_new() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough memory, and its return value should be checked before it is used. However, in function tipc_nl_node_get_monitor(), the validation of the return value of function nlmsg_new() is missed. This patch fixes the bug. Signed-off-by: Pan Bian Signed-off-by: David S.

netlink: pass extended ACK struct where available

2017-04-13T17:58:22+00:00

This is an add-on to the previous patch that passes the extended ACK structure where it's already available by existing genl_info or extack function arguments. This was done with this spatch (with some manual adjustment of indentation): @@ expression A, B, C, D, E; identifier fn, info; @@ fn(..., struct genl_info *info, ...) { ... -nlmsg_parse(A, B, C, D, E, NULL) +nlmsg_parse(A, B, C, D, E, info->extack) ... } @@ expression A, B, C, D, E; identifier fn, info; @@ fn(..., struct genl_info *info, ...) { <... -nla_parse_nested(A, B, C, D, NULL) +nla_parse_nested(A, B, C, D, info->extack) ...> } @@ expression A, B, C, D, E; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { <... -nlmsg_parse(A, B, C, D, E, NULL) +nlmsg_parse(A, B, C, D, E, extack) ...> } @@ expression A, B, C, D, E; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { <... -nla_parse(A, B, C, D, E, NULL) +nla_parse(A, B, C, D, E, extack) ...> } @@ expression A, B, C, D, E; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { ... -nlmsg_parse(A, B, C, D, E, NULL) +nlmsg_parse(A, B, C, D, E, extack) ... } @@ expression A, B, C, D; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { <... -nla_parse_nested(A, B, C, D, NULL) +nla_parse_nested(A, B, C, D, extack) ...> } @@ expression A, B, C, D; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { <... -nlmsg_validate(A, B, C, D, NULL) +nlmsg_validate(A, B, C, D, extack) ...> } @@ expression A, B, C, D; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { <... -nla_validate(A, B, C, D, NULL) +nla_validate(A, B, C, D, extack) ...> } @@ expression A, B, C; identifier fn, extack; @@ fn(..., struct netlink_ext_ack *extack, ...) { <... -nla_validate_nested(A, B, C, NULL) +nla_validate_nested(A, B, C, extack) ...> } Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

tipc: move premature initilalization of stack variables

2017-02-24T16:42:54+00:00

In the function tipc_rcv() we initialize a couple of stack variables from the message header before that same header has been validated. In rare cases when the arriving header is non-linar, the validation function itself may linearize the buffer by calling skb_may_pull(), while the wrongly initialized stack fields are not updated accordingly. We fix this in this commit. Reported-by: Matthew Wong Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
