2009-03-03netns: Remove net_aliveEric W. Biederman
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.

2009-03-03netns: Fix icmp shutdown.Eric W. Biederman
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

2009-03-03netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panicDaniel Lezcano
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice notifier. In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-03-02sctp: Fix broken RTO-doubling for data retransmitsVlad Yasevich
Commit faee47cdbfe8d74a1573c2f81ea6dbb08d735be6 (sctp: Fix the RTO-doubling on idle-link heartbeats) broke the RTO doubling for data retransmits. If the heartbeat was sent before the data T3-rtx time, the the RTO will not double upon the T3-rtx expiration. Distingish between the operations by passing an argument to the function. Additionally, Wei Youngjun pointed out that our treatment of requested HEARTBEATS and timer HEARTBEATS is the same wrt resetting congestion window. That needs to be separated, since user requested HEARTBEATS should not treat the link as idle. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Adding "ethtool -d" support. Due to the complexity of the FW and HW, there are a lot of different regions in the chip - to keep the code as clean as possible, the ranges were put in an H file. Some areas cannot be read if the driver is running - so by default, the driver will not access those areas - but any programmer facing a problem will be able to easily manipulate the driver to extract full dump. The full dump can also be used with kernel dump modules in case of kernel panic. Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-03-02sctp: fix kernel panic with ERROR chunk containing too many error causesWei Yongjun
If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED state, the kernel get panic. This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by sctp_add_cmd_sf().

2009-03-02igb: remove skb_orphan callsAlexander Duyck
Remove skb_orphan call from igb driver as it can cause multiple issues due to the fact that it is calling the desctructor and removing the skb from the socket prior to transmission. The call was added to improve performance but did so by allowing the skb to be removed from the socket which gave the socket more window space to transmit. The performance gain is not worth the extra problems that this kind of workaround can introduce as this could lead to a potential DoS if a UDP stream decided to monopolize the transmit path.
