* | sctp: try harder to figure out address family when checking wildcardsVlad Yasevich2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sctp_is_any() function that is used to check for wildcard addresses only looks at the address itself to determine the address family. This function is used in the API to check the address passed in from the user. If the user simply zerroes out the sockaddr_storage and pass that in, we'll end up failing. So, let's try harder to determine the address family by also checking the socket if it's possible. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

* | udp: Export UDP socket lookup functionKOVACS Krisztian2008-10-01

* | tcp: Port redirection support for TCPKOVACS Krisztian2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current TCP code relies on the local port of the listening socket being the same as the destination address of the incoming connection. Port redirection used by many transparent proxying techniques obviously breaks this, so we have to store the original destination port address. This patch extends struct inet_request_sock and stores the incoming destination port value there. It also modifies the handshake code to use that value as the source port when sending reply packets.

* | ipv4: Make Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() non-local address compatibleKOVACS Krisztian2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netfilter's ip_route_me_harder() tries to re-route packets either generated or re-routed by Netfilter. This patch changes ip_route_me_harder() to handle packets from non-locally-bound sockets with IP_TRANSPARENT set as local and to set the appropriate flowi flags when re-doing the routing lookup.

* | tcp: Handle TCP SYN+ACK/ACK/RST transparencyKOVACS Krisztian2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TCP stack sends out SYN+ACK/ACK/RST reply packets in response to incoming packets. The non-local source address check on output bites us again, as replies for transparently redirected traffic won't have a chance to leave the node. This patch selectively sets the FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC flag when doing the route lookup for those replies. Transparent replies are enabled if the listening socket has the transparent socket flag set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ip_route_output() contains a check to make sure that no flows with non-local source IP addresses are routed.

* | ipsec: Put dumpers on the dump listHerbert Xu2008-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Herbert Xu came up with the idea and the original patch to make xfrm_state dump list contain also dumpers: As it is we go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that states don't go away while dumpers go to sleep. It's much easier if we just put the dumpers themselves on the list since they can't go away while they're going. I've also changed the order of addition on new states to prevent a never-ending dump. Timo Teräs improved the patch to apply cleanly to latest tree, modified iteration code to be more readable by using a common struct for entries in the list, implemented the same idea for xfrm_policy dumping and moved the af_key specific "last" entry caching to af_key.

But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer. A short example illustrating this point is here: #include <stdio.h> main(void) { printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int)); } ...which prints "1". This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

* | mac80211: clean up rate control APIJohannes Berg2008-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of net/mac80211/. There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking, we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control algorithm or via new API. Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* | mac80211: fix virtual interfaces vs. injectionJohannes Berg2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it. As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally. Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface. This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we do now. Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't assign sequence numbers at all. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Use the nl80211 types and simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need to translate them any more now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | mac80211: fix scan vs. interface removal raceJohannes Berg2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it was a software scan, if the timing is just right. On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem, just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case we would also never restore state of other interfaces. This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable until you scan once.

* | cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructureLuis R. Rodriguez2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* | mac80211: make conf_tx non-atomicJohannes Berg2008-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The conf_tx callback currently needs to be atomic, this requirement is just because it can be called from scanning. This rearranges it slightly to only update while not scanning (which is fine, we'll be getting beacons when associated) and thus removes the atomic requirement.

* | ipsec: Use RCU-like construct for saved state within a walkHerbert Xu2008-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we save states within a walk we need synchronisation so that the list the saved state is on doesn't disappear from under us. As it stands this is done by keeping the state on the list which is bad because it gets in the way of the management of the state life-cycle. An alternative is to make our own pseudo-RCU system where we use counters to indicate which state can't be freed immediately as it may be referenced by an ongoing walk when that resumes.
