| * | | | | | netlink: allow empty nested attributesPatrick McHardy2008-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | validate_nla() currently doesn't allow empty nested attributes. This makes userspace code unnecessarily complicated when starting and ending the nested attribute is done by generic upper level code and the inner attributes are dumped by a module. Add a special case to accept empty nested attributes. When the nested attribute is non empty, the same checks as before are performed.

This can result in inconsistent situations if several userspace processes modify the connection tracking table by means of ctnetlink at the same time. Specifically, using the conntrack command line tool and conntrackd at the same time can trigger unconsistencies. This patch also modifies the event cache infrastructure to pass the process PID and the ECHO flag to nfnetlink_send() to report back to userspace if the process that triggered the change needs so.

Otherwise, we return EOPNOTSUPP. * Update path: release the spin lock, load the module and check. If it is present, then return EAGAIN to re-start the update.

I have a DNAT target in the OUTPUT chain than changes connections with dst 2.0.0.1 to another address which I'll substitute with 66.102.9.99 below. On every boot I get the following message: [ 146.252505] NAT: no longer support implicit source local NAT [ 146.252517] NAT: packet src 66.102.9.99 -> dst 2.0.0.1 As far as I can tell from reading the function doing this, it should warn if the source IP for the route to 66.102.9.99 is different from 2.0.0.1 but that is not the case. It doesn't make sense to check the DNAT target against the local route source. Either the function should be changed to correctly check the route, or it should be removed entirely as it's been nearly 2 years since it was added.

This means the resume path is not calling get_state() as it should. Call it manually on the resume handler, as we don't want to mess with the EPO path by removing the optimization. This has the added benefit of making it explicit that rfkill->state could have been modified before we hit the rfkill_toggle_radio() call in the class resume handler.

This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the previous state of the transmitter was being lost. The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from that on resume.

As a result, the pid rate-setting algorithm fails because every packet appears to have needed a retransmit.

The name doesn't really matter anyway. This should fix sporadic oopses found when we race to beat the driver pointer setting. Not even sure how this was working properly. http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=ieee80211_register_hw Signed-off-by: Luis R.

We parse the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment (indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE. To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed on the same country. A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two different countries. In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another intersection will be performed. CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA present. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

So remove the informative complaint about it assuming it will tell us such things. Note that you can determine if CRDA is present after loading cfg80211 by using: is_old_static_regdom(cfg80211_regdomain) but this doesn't account for possible user install after initial boot, and also for when the user uses the static EU regulatory domain.
