* netlink: fix (theoretical) overrun in message iterationVegard Nossum2008-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See commit 1045b03e07d85f3545118510a587035536030c1c ("netlink: fix overrun in attribute iteration") for a detailed explanation of why this patch is necessary. In short, nlmsg_next() can make "remaining" go negative, and the remaining >= sizeof(...) comparison will promote "remaining" to an unsigned type, which means that the expression will evaluate to true for negative numbers, even though it was not intended. I put "theoretical" in the title because I have no evidence that this can actually happen, but I suspect that a crafted netlink packet can trigger some badness. Note that the last test, which seemingly has the exact same problem (also true for nla_ok()), is perfectly OK, since we already know that remaining is positive.

* tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxtHerbert Xu2008-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode.

I bisected the problem to the following commit: commit c8019bf3aff653cceb64f66489fc299ee5957b57 Author: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Date: Thu Nov 20 04:24:17 2008 -0800 netdevice ppp: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv 1.

Miller <davem@davemloft.net> The original ppp_generic code treated the netdev and struct ppp as independent data structures which were freed separately. In moving the ppp struct into the netdev, it is now possible for the private data to be freed before the call to ppp_shutdown_interface(), which is bad. The kfree(ppp) in ppp_destroy_interface() is also wrong; presumably ppp hasn't worked since the above commit. The following patch fixes both problems.

| * | b43: Add key memory dumpingMichael Buesch2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds an option to dump all crypto related memory to the kernel log. Obviously, it should not be enabled on productive systems. ;) Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * | b43: Suspend MAC while killing the radioMichael Buesch2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should suspend the MAC, before we kill the radio. This gives the MAC a chance to leave any TX/RX state and it avoids races on the PHY/RADIO registers. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Packet length calculation (which includes frame check sequence) should take into account whether we add a pad field or not. Extract the calculation into a helper and use it in both places.

| * | mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

| * | mac80211: track master queue statusKalle Valo2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a preparation for the dynamic power save support. In future there are two paths to stop the master queues and we need to track this properly to avoid starting queues incorrectly. Implement this by adding a status array for each queue. The original idea and design is from Johannes Berg, I just did the implementation based on his notes. All the bugs are mine, of course.

| * | mac80211: enable IEEE80211_CONF_PS only when associatedKalle Valo2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also disable power save when disassociated. It makes no sense to have power save enabled while disassociated. iwlwifi seems to have this check in the driver, but it's better to do this in mac80211 instead.
