| * | NFS: Allow text-based mounts via compat_sys_mountChuck Lever2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compat_sys_mount() system call throws EINVAL for text-based NFSv4 mounts. The text-based mount interface assumes that any mount option blob that doesn't set the version field to "1" is a C string (ie not a legacy mount request). The compat_sys_mount() call treats blobs that don't set the version field to "1" as an error. We just relax the check in compat_sys_mount() a bit to allow C strings to be passed down to the NFSv4 client.

| * | NFS: fix reference counting for NFSv4 callback threadJeff Layton2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reference counting for the NFSv4 callback thread stays artificially high. When this thread comes down, it doesn't properly tear down the svc_serv, causing a memory leak. In my testing on an older kernel on x86_64, memory would leak out of the 8k kmalloc slab. So, we're leaking at least a page of memory every time the thread comes down. svc_create() creates the svc_serv with a sv_nrthreads count of 1, and then svc_create_thread() increments that count. Whenever the callback thread is started it has a sv_nrthreads count of 2. When coming down, it calls svc_exit_thread() which decrements that count and if it hits 0, it tears everything down. That never happens here since the count is always at 2 when the thread exits. The problem is that nfs_callback_up() should be calling svc_destroy() on the svc_serv on both success and failure. This is how lockd_up_proto() handles the reference counting, and doing that here fixes the leak.

| * | [NET]: Fix race in dev_close(). (Bug 9750)Matti Linnanvuori2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race in Linux kernel file net/core/dev.c, function dev_close. The function calls function dev_deactivate, which calls function dev_watchdog_down that deletes the watchdog timer. However, after that, a driver can call netif_carrier_ok, which calls function __netdev_watchdog_up that can add the watchdog timer again. Function unregister_netdevice calls function dev_shutdown that traps the bug !timer_pending(&dev->watchdog_timer). Moving dev_deactivate after netif_running() has been cleared prevents function netif_carrier_on from calling __netdev_watchdog_up and adding the watchdog timer again.

If the address has been changed, another notification is sent. Both of them is required because originally only the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification was sent and although device state change implies address change, some programs may expect the original notification. It remains for compatibity. If set_operstate() is called from do_setlink(), it doesn't send a notification, only if it is called from rtnl_create_link() as earlier.

| * | [IPV6]: Fix IPsec datagram fragmentationHerbert Xu2008-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet. The problem is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet. In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet. For now this patch does the second part which should make it work for the IPsec host case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | [NDISC]: Fix race in generic address resolutionDavid S. Miller2008-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix for this bug. He also validated this version of this fix. The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we grab references when dropping the lock lock to call neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access to the skb. The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock during the ->solicit() call. I looked at all of the ndisc_ops implementations and this seems workable. The only case that needs special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit(). It wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation. We can simply remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection afforded by the existing read locking. The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the neigh is locked or not. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | hci_ldisc: fix null pointer derefDavid Newall2008-02-12

The raw details are at: http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=uart_flush_buffer What happens is that, on closing the bluetooth tty, the tty layer goes into the release_dev() function, which first does a bunch of stuff, then sets the file->private_data to NULL, does some more stuff and then calls the ldisc close function. Which in this case, is hci_uart_tty_close(). Now, hci_uart_tty_close() calls hci_uart_close() which clears some internal bit, and then calls hci_uart_flush()... which calls back to the tty layers' uart_flush_buffer() function. (in drivers/bluetooth/hci_tty.c around line 194) Which then WARN_ON()'s because that's not allowed/supposed to be called this late in the shutdown of the port.... Should the bluetooth driver even call this flush function at all?? David: This seems to be what happens: Hci_uart_close() flushes using hci_uart_flush(). Subsequently, in hci_dev_do_close(), (one step in hci_unregister_dev()), hci_uart_flush() is called again. The comment in uart_flush_buffer(), relating to the WARN_ON(), indicates you can't flush after the port is closed; which sounds reasonable. I think hci_uart_close() should set hdev->flush to NULL before returning. Hci_dev_do_close() does check for this. The code path is rather involved and I'm not entirely clear of all steps, but I think that's what should be done. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

To fix this the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper" order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar reading without this lock too). So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu. Reported-by: Bernard Pidoux F6BVP <f6bvp@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | [IPV4]: Remove IP_TOS setting privilege checks.David S. Miller2008-02-12

In particular they try to make the distinction between values that should be used by "user applications" and things like routing daemons. This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as well. Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option. The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be used. In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't work out: 1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing setups. 2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to override that. I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2 and beyond. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
