Currently conntracks are inserted after the head. That means that
conntracks are sorted from the biggest to the smallest id. This happens
because we use list_prepend (list_add) instead list_add_tail. This can
result in problems during the list iteration.

                 list_for_each(i, &ip_conntrack_hash[cb->args[0]]) {
                         h = (struct ip_conntrack_tuple_hash *) i;

                         ct = tuplehash_to_ctrack(h);
                         if (ct->id <= *id)
                                 continue;

In that case just the first conntrack in the bucket will be dumped. To
fix this, we iterate the list from the tail to the head via
list_for_each_prev. Same thing for the list of expectations.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller.  I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit.  Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them.  Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(

The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.

- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
  compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field.  IPVS maintainers can
  decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

19 years ago[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
Steven Rostedt [Mon, 29 Aug 2005 15:44:09 +0000 (11:44 -0400)] 
[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Paul Mackerras [Sat, 27 Aug 2005 23:40:01 +0000 (09:40 +1000)] 
[PATCH] Remove race between con_open and con_close

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]

I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.

What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data.  Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6.  Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1.  However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).

So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data.  Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.

The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open.  The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem.  We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called.  Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.
