* [NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriateEric W. Biederman2007-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section. We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys. Which doesn't happen until module unload. So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways. - We discard it before we call the exit method it points to. - Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked list and does horrible things for linked insert. So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded for modules. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [UDP]: Make use of inet_iif() when doing socket lookups.Vlad Yasevich2007-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | UDP currently uses skb->dev->ifindex which may provide the wrong information when the socket bound to a specific interface. This patch makes inet_iif() accessible to UDP and makes UDP use it. The scenario we are trying to fix is when a client is running on the same system and the server and both client and server bind to a non-loopback device.

* [Bluetooth] Switch from OGF+OCF to using only opcodesMarcel Holtmann2007-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | The Bluetooth HCI commands are divided into logical OGF groups for easier identification of their purposes. While this still makes sense for the written specification, its makes the code only more complex and harder to read. So instead of using separate OGF and OCF values to identify the commands, use a common 16-bit opcode that combines both values. As a side effect this also reduces the complexity of OGF and OCF calculations during command header parsing. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

* Use helpers to obtain task pid in printksPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

* pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

* [IPSEC]: Rename mode to outer_mode and add inner_modeHerbert Xu2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode. The existing mode object is renamed to outer_mode. This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms. As it is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use. As a result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa. What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound processing and the outer family for the second part. For inbound processing we'd use the opposite pairing. I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode with inter-family transforms. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPSEC]: Store afinfo pointer in xfrm_modeHerbert Xu2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is convenient to have a pointer from xfrm_state to address-specific functions such as the output function for a family. Currently the address-specific policy code calls out to the xfrm state code to get those pointers when we could get it in an easier way via the state itself. This patch adds an xfrm_state_afinfo to xfrm_mode (since they're address-specific) and changes the policy code to use it. I've also added an owner field to do reference counting on the module providing the afinfo even though it isn't strictly necessary today since IPv6 can't be unloaded yet.

* [IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checksHerbert Xu2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack like tunnel mode does. Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode this is incorrect. This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet back into the stack. It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode. I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

* [IPSEC]: Move type and mode map into xfrm_state.cHerbert Xu2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The type and mode maps are only used by SAs, not policies. So it makes sense to move them from xfrm_policy.c into xfrm_state.c. This also allows us to mark xfrm_get_type/xfrm_put_type/xfrm_get_mode/xfrm_put_mode as static. The only other change I've made in the move is to get rid of the casts on the request_module call for types. They're unnecessary because C will promote them to ints anyway.

* [IPSEC]: Get nexthdr from caller in xfrm6_rcv_spiHerbert Xu2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | Currently xfrm6_rcv_spi gets the nexthdr value itself from the packet. This means that we need to fix up the value in case we have a 4-on-6 tunnel.

* [NET]: Fix the race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone()Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a chance to get the reference on the cloned filter. Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead anyway and is to be release itself.

* [NET]: Move the filter releasing into a separate callPavel Emelyanov2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is done merely as a preparation for the fix. The sk_filter_uncharge() unaccounts the filter memory and calls the sk_filter_release(), which in turn decrements the refcount anf frees the filter. The latter function will be required separately.

* [INET]: Remove no longer needed ->equal callbackPavel Emelyanov2007-10-17

* [INET]: Consolidate xxx_find() in fragment managementPavel Emelyanov2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here we need another callback ->match to check whether the entry found in hash matches the key passed. The key used is the same as the creation argument for inet_frag_create. Yet again, this ->match is the same for netfilter and ipv6. Running a frew steps forward - this callback will later replace the ->equal one. Since the inet_frag_find() uses the already consolidated inet_frag_create() remove the xxx_frag_create from protocol codes. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_create()Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | This one uses the xxx_frag_intern() and xxx_frag_alloc() routines, which are already consolidated, so remove them from protocol code (as promised).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just perform the kzalloc() allocation and setup common fields in the inet_frag_queue(). Then return the result to the caller to initialize the rest. The inet_frag_alloc() may return NULL, so check the return value before doing the container_of(). This looks ugly, but the xxx_frag_alloc() will be removed soon.

The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s together, but this one is temporary and will be removed later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same routine to compare frags. The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer, so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific one (with the container_of) without any checks.

* 9p: attach-per-userLatchesar Ionkov2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately. Multiple users can share the same connection to the server. Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it depends on the client doing the permission checking. This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option 'access'): - attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u) If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree. As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works only with the 9P2000.u dialect. - allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>) Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt to access it will get EPERM error. - do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000) V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user. If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current one. Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

Extra options are processed in a generic way; this patch only exports RDNSS options described in RFC5006, but support to control which options are exported could be easily added. A new rtnetlink message type is defined, to transport Neighbor Discovery options, along with optional context information. At the moment only the address of the router sending an RDNSS option is included, but additional attributes may be later defined, if needed by new use cases.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious. This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

* [INET]: local port range robustnessStephen Hemminger2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expansion of original idea from Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Add robustness and locking to the local_port_range sysctl. 1. Enforce that low < high when setting. 2. Use seqlock to ensure atomic update. The locking might seem like overkill, but there are cases where sysadmin might want to change value in the middle of a DoS attack.
