* netfilter: nf_conntrack: don't try to deliver events for untracked connectionsPatrick McHardy2009-02-18

* net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives.David S. Miller2009-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt the socket memory accounting. skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error more systematically. However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()Andrew Morton2009-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations from spinlocked regions. Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy callsites. Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no idea what this patch will do.

* net: wrong test in inet_ehash_locks_alloc()Eric Dumazet2009-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9db66bdcc83749affe61c61eb8ff3cf08f42afec (net: convert TCP/DCCP ehash rwlocks to spinlocks), I forgot to change one occurrence of rwlock_t to spinlock_t I believe sizeof(raw_spinlock_t) might be > 0 on !CONFIG_SMP if CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK while sizeof(raw_rwlock_t) should be 0 in this case. Fortunatly, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds fields to both spinlock_t and rwlock_t, but at this might change in the future (being able to debug spinlocks but not rwlocks for example), better to be safe.

* sctp: Fix crc32c calculations on big-endian arhes.Vlad Yasevich2009-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | crc32c algorithm provides a byteswaped result. On little-endian arches, the result ends up in big-endian/network byte order. On big-endinan arches, the result ends up in little-endian order and needs to be byte swapped again. Thus calling cpu_to_le32 gives the right output.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module removal. Why?, beyond reducing complication: 1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line bouncing effects. 2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or dma-slave) 3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

* / ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.David S. Miller2009-01-04
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

| * 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.

| * | mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo2008-12-19

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.

The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular, we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).

| | * | Bluetooth: Enable per-module dynamic debug messagesMarcel Holtmann2008-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the introduction of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG it is possible to allow debugging without having to recompile the kernel. This patch turns all BT_DBG() calls into pr_debug() to support dynamic debug messages. As a side effect all CONFIG_BT_*_DEBUG statements are now removed and some broken debug entries have been fixed.

| | * | Bluetooth: Send HCI Reset command by default on device initializationMarcel Holtmann2008-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Bluetooth subsystem was not using the HCI Reset command when doing device initialization. The Bluetooth 1.0b specification was ambiguous on how the device firmware was suppose to handle it. Almost every device was triggering a transport reset at the same time. In case of USB this ended up in disconnects from the bus. All modern Bluetooth dongles handle this perfectly fine and a lot of them actually require that HCI Reset is sent. If not then they are either stuck in their HID Proxy mode or their internal structures for inquiry and paging are not correctly setup. To handle old and new devices smoothly the Bluetooth subsystem contains a quirk to force the HCI Reset on initialization. However maintaining such a quirk becomes more and more complicated. This patch turns the logic around and lets the old devices disable the HCI Reset command. The only device where the HCI_QUIRK_NO_RESET is still needed are the original Digianswer devices and dongles with an early CSR firmware. CSR reported that they fixed this for version 12 firmware. The last official release of version 11 firmware is build ID 115. The first version 12 candidate was build ID 117. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
