* cfg80211: protect first access of last_request on 11d hint under mutexLuis R. Rodriguez2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | We were not protecting last_request there is a small possible race between an 11d hint and another routine which calls reset_regdomains() which can prevent a valid country IE from being processed. This is not critical as it will still be procesed soon after but locking prior to it is correct. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* cfg80211: make regulatory_request use wiphy_idx instead of wiphyLuis R. Rodriguez2009-02-27

* cfg80211: propagate -ENOMEM during regulatory_init()Luis R. Rodriguez2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calling kobject_uevent_env() can fail mainly due to out of memory conditions. We do not want to continue during such conditions so propagate that as well instead of letting cfg80211 load as if everything is peachy. Additionally lets clarify that when CRDA is not called during cfg80211's initialization _and_ if the error is not an -ENOMEM its because kobject_uevent_env() failed to call CRDA, not because CRDA failed. For those who want to find out why we also let you do so by enabling the kernel config CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG -- you'll get an actual stack trace. So for now we'll treat non -ENOMEM kobject_uevent_env() failures as non fatal during cfg80211's initialization. CC: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* nl80211: disallow user requests prior to regulatory_init()Luis R. Rodriguez2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If cfg80211 is built into the kernel there is perhaps a small time window betwen nl80211_init() and regulatory_init() where cfg80211_regdomain hasn't yet been initialized to let the wireless core do its work. During that rare case and time frame (if its even possible) we don't allow user regulatory changes as cfg80211 is working on enabling its first regulatory domain. To check for cfg80211_regdomain we now contend the entire operation using the cfg80211_mutex. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to various bugs in the software stack we end up having to fill qual.qual; level should be used, but wpa_supplicant doesn't properly ignore qual.qual, NM should use qual.level regardless of that because qual.qual is 0 but doesn't handle IW_QUAL_DBM right now. So fill qual.qual with the qual.level value clamped to -110..-40 dBm or just the regular 'unspecified' signal level.

* mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

* mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queuesJohannes Berg2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix regression introduded by commit 079aa88 (netfilter: xt_recent: IPv6 support): From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12753: Problem Description: An uninitialized buffer causes IPv4 addresses added manually (via the +IP command to the proc interface) to never match any packets. Similarly, the -IP command fails to remove IPv4 addresses. Details: In the function recent_entry_lookup, the xt_recent module does comparisons of the entire nf_inet_addr union value, both for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For addresses initialized from actual packets the remaining 12 bytes not occupied by the IPv4 are zeroed so this works correctly. However when setting the nf_inet_addr addr variable in the recent_mt_proc_write function, only the IPv4 bytes are initialized and the remaining 12 bytes contain garbage. Hence addresses added in this way never match any packets, unless these uninitialized 12 bytes happened to be zero by coincidence. Similarly, addresses cannot consistently be removed using the proc interface due to mismatch of the garbage bytes (although it will sometimes work to remove an address that was added manually). Reading the /proc/net/xt_recent/ entries hides this problem because this only uses the first 4 bytes when displaying IPv4 addresses. Steps to reproduce: $ iptables -I INPUT -m recent --rcheck -j LOG $ echo +169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 [At this point no packets from 169.254.156.239 are being logged.] $ iptables -I INPUT -s 169.254.156.239 -m recent --set $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126184 oldest_pkt: 4 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184 [At this point, adding the address via an iptables rule, packets are being logged correctly.] $ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992 $ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992 [Removing the address via /proc interface failed evidently.] Possible solutions: - initialize the addr variable in recent_mt_proc_write - compare only 4 bytes for IPv4 addresses in recent_entry_lookup Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

| | * | netns: fix double free at netns creationDaniel Lezcano2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fix a double free when a network namespace fails. The previous code does a kfree of the net_generic structure when one of the init subsystem initialization fails. The 'setup_net' function does kfree(ng) and returns an error. The caller, 'copy_net_ns', call net_free on error, and this one calls kfree(net->gen), making this pointer freed twice. This patch make the code symetric, the net_alloc does the net_generic allocation and the net_free frees the net_generic. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CIPSO protocol engine incorrectly stated that the FIPS-188 specification could be found in the kernel's Documentation directory. This patch corrects that by removing the comment and directing users to the FIPS-188 documented hosted online. For the sake of completeness I've also included a link to the CIPSO draft specification on the NetLabel website. Thanks to Randy Dunlap for spotting the error and letting me know.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER Kconfig describes the rp_filter proc option. Recent changes added a loose mode. Instead of documenting this change too places, refer to the document describing it: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt I'm considering moving the rp_filter description away from the Kconfig file into ip-sysctl.txt.

* | netns: Remove net_aliveEric W. Biederman2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
