* [NET]: Clean up skb_linearizeHerbert Xu2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised. So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

* [NET]: Add netif_tx_lockHerbert Xu2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [SECMARK]: Add CONNSECMARK xtables targetJames Morris2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new xtables target, CONNSECMARK, which is used to specify rules for copying security marks from packets to connections, and for copyying security marks back from connections to packets. This is similar to the CONNMARK target, but is more limited in scope in that it only allows copying of security marks to and from packets, as this is all it needs to do. A typical scenario would be to apply a security mark to a 'new' packet with SECMARK, then copy that to its conntrack via CONNMARK, and then restore the security mark from the connection to established and related packets on that connection.

* [LSM-IPsec]: SELinux AuthorizeCatherine Zhang2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains a fix for the previous patch that adds security contexts to IPsec policies and security associations. In the previous patch, no authorization (besides the check for write permissions to SAD and SPD) is required to delete IPsec policies and security assocations with security contexts. Thus a user authorized to change SAD and SPD can bypass the IPsec policy authorization by simply deleteing policies with security contexts. To fix this security hole, an additional authorization check is added for removing security policies and security associations with security contexts. Note that if no security context is supplied on add or present on policy to be deleted, the SELinux module allows the change unconditionally. The hook is called on deletion when no context is present, which we may want to change. At present, I left it up to the module. LSM changes: The patch adds two new LSM hooks: xfrm_policy_delete and xfrm_state_delete. The new hooks are necessary to authorize deletion of IPsec policies that have security contexts. The existing hooks xfrm_policy_free and xfrm_state_free lack the context to do the authorization, so I decided to split authorization of deletion and memory management of security data, as is typical in the LSM interface. Use: The new delete hooks are checked when xfrm_policy or xfrm_state are deleted by either the xfrm_user interface (xfrm_get_policy, xfrm_del_sa) or the pfkey interface (pfkey_spddelete, pfkey_delete). SELinux changes: The new policy_delete and state_delete functions are added.

* [TCP]: TCP Veno congestion controlBin Zhou2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of the cause of packet loss. This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

* [TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion controlWong Hoi Sing Edison2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from: http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf Original Author: Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu> See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation. As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms. Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from the original TCP-LP implementation: o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking within cong_avoid. o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped on checking and updating. o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular. o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code. o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in tcp_time_stamp format.

This also fixes a minor bug for transport-mode ESP where the IP payload length is set to the correct value minus the header length (with extension headers for IPv6). Of course the other neat thing is that we no longer have to allocate temporary buffers to hold the IP headers for ESP and IPComp.

* [IPSEC] xfrm: Undo afinfo lock proliferationHerbert Xu2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced down to one each for policy and state respectively. This is based on the observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6. The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look suspicious at first. However, after you realise that nobody ever takes the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :) As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of the corresponding modules. Since neither module can be unloaded at all we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
