2009-06-13bonding: network device names are case sensativeStephen Hemminger
The bonding device acts unlike all other Linux network device functions in that it ignores case of device names. The developer must have come from windows! Cleanup the management of names and use standard routines where possible. Flag places where bonding device still doesn't work right with network namespaces.

2009-06-13bonding: elminate bad refcount codeStephen Hemminger
The "expected_refcount" stuff in bonding sysfs module is a mistake. Sysfs does proper refcounting, and it is okay to remove a bond device that has some user process holding the file open. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-06-13bonding: fix destructorStephen Hemminger
It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in the module, since it can be called after module is unloaded if sysfs handle is open. When eventually using netlink, the device cleanup code needs to be done via uninit function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: optional reliable conntrack event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option. The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus, if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point. At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically, if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via /proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus the conntrack ID. The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to userspace. During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend. A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag) and invoke `conntrack -F'. For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch. Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation). In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement the same idea that is exposed in this patch. This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation and destroy time. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2009-06-13list_nulls: add hlist_nulls_add_head and hlist_nulls_delPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the hlist_nulls_add_head() function which is based on hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() but without the use of rcu_assign_pointer(). It also adds hlist_nulls_del which is exactly the same like hlist_nulls_del_rcu().

2009-06-13netfilter: conntrack: move event caching to conntrack extension infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack extension infrastructure. The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the reliable event delivery that follows to this patch. BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

2009-06-13netfilter: nf_conntrack: use mod_timer_pending() for conntrack refreshPatrick McHardy
Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/ add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer, so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process of being destroyed. With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all, counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-06-11[PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGSJohn Dykstra
Commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce " [NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width. Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86 code. A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still accessible via netlink.

2009-06-11neigh: fix state transition INCOMPLETE->FAILED via Netlink requestTimo Teras
The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply. This also causes the transtion to FAILED state. However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the address is unavailable. Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection. This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.

2009-06-11wimax/i2400m: use -EL3RST to indicate device reset instead of -ERESTARTSYSCindy H Kao
When the i2400m device resets, the driver code will force some functions to return a -ERESTARTSYS error code, which can is used by the caller to determine which recovery actions to take. However, in certain situations the only thing that can be done is to bubble up said error code to user space, for handling. However, -ERESTARSYS was a poor choice, as it is supposed to be used by the kernel only. As such, replace -ERESTARTSYS with -EL3RST; as well, in i2400m_msg_to_dev(), when the device is in boot mode (following a recent reset), return -EL3RST instead of -ENODEV (meaning the device is in bootrom mode after a reset, not that the device was disconnected, and thus, normal commands cannot be executed).

When a device reset happens during firmware load [in i2400m_dev_bootstrap()], __i2400m_dev_start() will retry a number of times. However, for those retries to be able to accomplish anything, the device's bootrom has to be reinitialized. Thus, on the retry path, pass the I2400M_MAC_REINIT to the firmware load code.
