| * | net: Expose all network devices in a namespaces in sysfsEric W. Biederman2010-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit aaf8cdc34ddba08122f02217d9d684e2f9f5d575. Drivers like the ipw2100 call device_create_group when they are initialized and device_remove_group when they are shutdown. Moving them between namespaces deletes their sysfs groups early. In particular the following call chain results. netdev_unregister_kobject -> device_del -> kobject_del -> sysfs_remove_dir With sysfs_remove_dir recursively deleting all of it's subdirectories, and nothing adding them back. Ouch! Therefore we need to call something that ultimate calls sysfs_mv_dir as that sysfs function can move sysfs directories between namespaces without deleting their subdirectories or their contents. Allowing us to avoid placing extra boiler plate into every driver that does something interesting with sysfs. Currently the function that provides that capability is device_rename. That is the code works without nasty side effects as originally written. So remove the misguided fix for moving devices between namespaces. The bug in the kobject layer that inspired it has now been recognized and fixed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Acked-by: David S.

| * | netlink: Implment netlink_broadcast_filteredEric W. Biederman2010-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When netlink sockets are used to convey data that is in a namespace we need a way to select a subset of the listening sockets to deliver the packet to. For the network namespace we have been doing this by only transmitting packets in the correct network namespace. For data belonging to other namespaces netlink_bradcast_filtered provides a mechanism that allows us to examine the destination socket and to decide if we should transmit the specified packet to it.

Opps. I'm not quite certain how I got introduced a second NET_NS Kconfig, but it was probably a 3 way merge somewhere along the way that did not notice that the NET_NS Kconfig option had mvoed and thout that was a bug. It probably slipped in because it used to be the sysfs patches were the first patches in my network namespace patches. Some things just don't go like you would expect. Neither of these bugs actually affect anything in the common case but they should be fixed. Thanks to Serge for noticing they were present. Reported-by: Serge E.

| * | netns: Teach network device kobjects which namespace they are in.Eric W. Biederman2010-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in the same directory, ouch! To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in sysfs, this patch enables the tagging directory support in sysfs. By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts in the directories and applications only see a limited set of the network devices.

| | * | net: Add netlink support for virtual port management (was iovnl)Scott Feldman2010-05-18

Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/ RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF (added to end of IFLA_cmd list). These are both nested atrtibutes using this layout: [IFLA_NUM_VF] [IFLA_VF_PORTS] [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... ... [IFLA_PORT_SELF] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically. VF_PORTS is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV device. PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in enic patch 2/2 of this patch set. A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the netdev. A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch. How port- profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch. There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg. The first spec is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol. The second spec is for devices that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol details. In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs. For example, both specs have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile. And both specs require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port instance ID. The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile. What those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the first step in the flow.

Some stacks (old linux for example) try to negotiate MD5+SACK+TSTAMP sessions, but since 40 bytes of tcp options space are not enough to store all the bits needed, we chose to disable timestamps in this case. We send a SYN-ACK _without_ timestamp option, but socket has timestamps enabled and all further outgoing messages contain a TS block, all with the initial timestamp of the remote peer. Fix is to really disable timestamps option for the whole session. Reported-by: Bijay Singh <Bijay.Singh@guavus.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This means that we can end up doing the work for an association request item when (for whatever reason) we receive another frame type, for example a probe response. Processing the wrong type of frame will lead to completely invalid data being processed, and will lead to various problems like thinking the association was successful even if the AP never sent an assocation response. Fix this by making each processing function check that it is invoked for the right work struct type only and continue processing otherwise (and drop frames that we didn't expect). This bug was uncovered during the debugging for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15862 but doesn't seem to be the cause for any of the various problems reported there.

Currently this is prevented for filters that are already resolved, but not for filters resolved at runtime. Only allow filters to point downwards in the hierarchy, similar to what CBQ does.

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected. Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue(). Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb(). Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.

If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch. If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch. This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results. I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap) Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense. Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible, before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps. Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog, after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.
