Subject: [PATCH]Fix BUG of ip_rt_send_redirect()
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 23:57:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1163739471.2802.7.camel@LINE> (raw)
[1]Summary of the problem:
On IA32 system, If jiffies - b > 0x7fffffff, router can not send
redirect packet.unsigned long b = rt->u.dst.rate_last
+(ip_rt_redirect_load << rt->u.dst.rate_tokens)
[2]Full description of the problem:
In linux kernel, if time_after(jiffies, (rt->u.dst.rate_last
+(ip_rt_redirect_load << rt->u.dst.rate_tokens)) == false,
router will not send redirect packet. Here define b = rt-
>u.dst.rate_last +(ip_rt_redirect_load << rt->u.dst.rate_tokens):
1. If (jiffies - b <= 0x7fffffff), time_after(jiffies, b) == true,
router will send redirect packet.
2. If (jiffies - b > 0x7fffffff), time_after(jiffies, b) == false,
router will not send redirect packet. For example: when I add a router
after system boot, jiffies = (unsigned long)(-300000),
rt->u.dst.rate_last = 0, rt->u.dst.rate_tokens = 0, b = 20,
time_after((unsigned long)(-300000), 20) == false, send redirect packet
can not be send even if router is used in the first time.
When router send a redirect packet in time b, and before jiffies
increased to 0x7fffffff + b, router can send redirect packet.
But if a redirect packet must be send in 0x80000000+ b,
time_after(jiffies, b) == false, redirect packet will not be send also.
So between time (0x80000000+ b) to time b, router do not send redirect
packet. That is to say, in a circle of jiffies, router has 24.9 days can
not send redirect packet (0x80000000/1000/60/60/24=24.9).
jiffies b
------|------------------------------|----------------------|---->time
0x80000000+b b 0x7fffffff+b
|<--jiffies - b < 0x7fffffff-->|
Following is my patch.
