* [TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changesHerbert Xu2005-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked" messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added. It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However, some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface. In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with help from Dale Blount. The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked" messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug and fix is as follows. When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example, when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with an out-of-date snd_wnd value. When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd which will be wrong. In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the window is non-zero. In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason message at the next retransmit timeout.

* [PATCH] kill massive wireless-related log spamJeff Garzik2005-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy users. Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk() every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a reminder that the driver is using an old API. Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.

* [NEIGH] Fix timer leak in neigh_changeaddrHerbert Xu2005-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches NEIGH_FAILED. It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock. In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state. So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [NEIGH] Fix add_timer race in neigh_add_timerHerbert Xu2005-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update) could have already added a new timer. So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly. This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [NEIGH] Print stack trace in neigh_add_timerHerbert Xu2005-10-23

* [TCP] Allow len == skb->len in tcp_fragmentHerbert Xu2005-10-20
| | | | | | | | | It is legitimate to call tcp_fragment with len == skb->len since that is done for FIN packets and the FIN flag counts as one byte.

* [DCCP]: Clear the IPCB areaHerbert Xu2005-10-20

* [DCCP]: Make dccp_write_xmit always free the packetHerbert Xu2005-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit). I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though. dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they both go for the ball and end up in each other's way. This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter what. This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet.

* [IPSEC] Fix block size/MTU bugs in ESPHerbert Xu2005-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP: * Fix transport mode MTU overestimate. This means that the inner MTU is smaller than it needs be. Worse yet, given an input MTU which is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not a multiple of 4. For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of 1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should be 1464. The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6. * Ensure that the block size is at least 4. This is required by RFC2406 and corresponds to what the esp_output function does. At the moment this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

* [NETFILTER] nfnetlink: use highest bit of nfa_type to indicate nested TLVHarald Welte2005-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e. host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser can determine whether an attribute is nested or not. This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).
