2014-01-27net: Fix memory leak if TPROXY used with TCP early demuxHolger Eitzenberger
I see a memory leak when using a transparent HTTP proxy using TPROXY together with TCP early demux and Kernel v3.8.13.15 (Ubuntu stable): unreferenced object 0xffff88008cba4a40 (size 1696): comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4294944115 (age 8907.520s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 0a e0 20 6a 40 04 1b 37 92 be 32 e2 e8 b4 00 00 .. j@..7..2..... 02 00 07 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff810b710a>] kmem_cache_alloc+0xad/0xb9 [<ffffffff81270185>] sk_prot_alloc+0x29/0xc5 [<ffffffff812702cf>] sk_clone_lock+0x14/0x283 [<ffffffff812aaf3a>] inet_csk_clone_lock+0xf/0x7b [<ffffffff8129a893>] netlink_broadcast+0x14/0x16 [<ffffffff812c1573>] tcp_create_openreq_child+0x1b/0x4c3 [<ffffffff812c033e>] tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock+0x38/0x25d [<ffffffff812c13e4>] tcp_check_req+0x25c/0x3d0 [<ffffffff812bf87a>] tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x287/0x40e [<ffffffff812a08a7>] ip_route_input_noref+0x843/0xa55 [<ffffffff812bfeca>] tcp_v4_rcv+0x4c9/0x725 [<ffffffff812a26f4>] ip_local_deliver_finish+0xe9/0x154 [<ffffffff8127a927>] __netif_receive_skb+0x4b2/0x514 [<ffffffff8127aa77>] process_backlog+0xee/0x1c5 [<ffffffff8127c949>] net_rx_action+0xa7/0x200 [<ffffffff81209d86>] add_interrupt_randomness+0x39/0x157 But there are many more, resulting in the machine going OOM after some days. From looking at the TPROXY code, and with help from Florian, I see that the memory leak is introduced in tcp_v4_early_demux(): void tcp_v4_early_demux(struct sk_buff *skb) { /* ... */ iph = ip_hdr(skb); th = tcp_hdr(skb); if (th->doff < sizeof(struct tcphdr) / 4) return; sk = __inet_lookup_established(dev_net(skb->dev), &tcp_hashinfo, iph->saddr, th->source, iph->daddr, ntohs(th->dest), skb->skb_iif); if (sk) { skb->sk = sk; where the socket is assigned unconditionally to skb->sk, also bumping the refcnt on it. This is problematic, because in our case the skb has already a socket assigned in the TPROXY target. This then results in the leak I see. The very same issue seems to be with IPv6, but haven't tested. Reviewed-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Holger Eitzenberger <holger@eitzenberger.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-08-08net: add SNMP counters tracking incoming ECN bitsEric Dumazet
With GRO/LRO processing, there is a problem because Ip[6]InReceives SNMP counters do not count the number of frames, but number of aggregated segments. Its probably too late to change this now.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-03-27ipv6: Plug sk_buff leak in ipv6_rcv (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c)Jesper Nilsson
Commit 778d80be52699596bf70e0eb0761cf5e1e46088d (ipv6: Add disable_ipv6 sysctl to disable IPv6 operaion on specific interface) seems to have introduced a leak of sk_buff's for ipv6 traffic, at least in some configurations where idev is NULL, or when ipv6 is disabled via sysctl. The problem is that if the first condition of the if-statement returns non-NULL, it returns an skb with only one reference, and when the other conditions apply, execution jumps to the "out" label, which does not call kfree_skb for it. To plug this leak, change to use the "drop" label instead. (this relies on it being ok to call kfree_skb on NULL) This also allows us to avoid calling rcu_read_unlock here, and removes the only user of the "out" label.

This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described below. It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing daemon against FreeBSD peers. net/ipv6/ip6_input.c: - Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets. - Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly. net/ipv6/ip6mr.c: - Fix incoming PIM register messages processing: * The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1). * Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6. - Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual interface. - Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling. - Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6 multicast routing socket is opened/closed. net/ipv6/route.c: - Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4 case).

Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and skb->mac to skb->mac_header, to match the names of the associated helpers (skb[_[re]set]_{transport,network,mac}_header).

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_header_lenArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common sequence "skb->h.raw - skb->nh.raw", similar to skb->mac_len, that is precalculated tho, don't think we need to bloat skb with one more member, so just use this new helper, reducing the number of non-skbuff.h references to the layer headers even more.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_transport_offset()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the quite common 'skb->h.raw - skb->data' sequence. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_transport_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->h.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple cases: skb->h.raw = skb->data; skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}() The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce ipv6_hdr(), remove skb->nh.ipv6hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Now the skb->nh union has just one member, .raw, i.e. it is just like the skb->mac union, strange, no? I'm just leaving it like that till the transport layer is done with, when we'll rename skb->mac.raw to skb->mac_header (or ->mac_header_offset?), ditto for ->{h,nh}.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_header()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the places where we need a pointer to the network header, it is still legal to touch skb->nh.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it to another layer header. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
