2008-06-24DM9000: Remove the 2 resources probe scheme.Laurent Pinchart
The dm9000 driver accepts either 2 or 3 resources to describe the platform devices. The 2 resources case abuses the ioresource mechanism by passing ioremap()ed memory through the platform device resources. This patch removes that case and converts boards that were using it to the 3 resources scheme.

2008-06-23bnx2x: Add TPA, Broadcoms HW LROVladislav Zolotarov
The TPA stands for Transparent Packet Aggregation. When enabled, the FW aggregate in-order TCP packets according to the 4-tuple match and sends 1 big packet to the driver. This packet is stored on an SGL in which each SGE is 1 page. The FW also implements a timeout algorithm and it honors all TCP flag, including the push flag as a trigger to halt aggregation. After receiving Ben Hutchings comments, we also added ethtool support, so now, thanks to Ben's patch, when forwarding is enabled, our aggregation is turned off using the LRO flags.

2008-06-23bnx2x: New init infrastructureEilon Greenstein
This new initialization code supports the 57711 HW. It also supports the emulation and FPGA for the 57711 and 57710 initializations values (very small amount of code which is very helpful in the lab - less than 30 lines). The initialization is done via DMAE after the DMAE block is ready - before it is ready, some of the initialization is done via PCI configuration transactions (referred to as indirect write). A mutex to protect the DMAE from being overlapped was added. There are few new registers which needs to be initialized by SW - the full comment for those registers is added to the register file. A place holder for the 57711 (referred to as E1H) microcode was added- the microcode itself is too big and it is split over the following 4 patches Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-19sctp: Follow security requirement of responding with 1 packetVlad Yasevich
RFC 4960, Section 11.4. Protection of Non-SCTP-Capable Hosts When an SCTP stack receives a packet containing multiple control or DATA chunks and the processing of the packet requires the sending of multiple chunks in response, the sender of the response chunk(s) MUST NOT send more than one packet. If bundling is supported, multiple response chunks that fit into a single packet MAY be bundled together into one single response packet. If bundling is not supported, then the sender MUST NOT send more than one response chunk and MUST discard all other responses. Note that this rule does NOT apply to a SACK chunk, since a SACK chunk is, in itself, a response to DATA and a SACK does not require a response of more DATA. We implement this by not servicing our outqueue until we reach the end of the packet. This enables maximum bundling. We also identify 'response' chunks and make sure that we only send 1 packet when sending such chunks. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch add to validate initiate tag and chunk type if verification tag is 0 when handling ICMP message. RFC 4960, Appendix C. ICMP Handling ICMP6) An implementation MUST validate that the Verification Tag contained in the ICMP message matches the Verification Tag of the peer. If the Verification Tag is not 0 and does NOT match, discard the ICMP message. If it is 0 and the ICMP message contains enough bytes to verify that the chunk type is an INIT chunk and that the Initiate Tag matches the tag of the peer, continue with ICMP7. If the ICMP message is too short or the chunk type or the Initiate Tag does not match, silently discard the packet.

2008-06-18netlink: genl: fix circular lockingPatrick McHardy
genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered families: - dump start: genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex netlink_dump_start(), netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a second time - dump continuance: netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a seperate fix for this.

2008-06-18netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflowWang Chen
Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow. Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a positive @inc will cause allmulti be off. This is not what we want, though it's rare case. The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error. Change of v2: Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int. So callers can get the overflow error. Caller's fix will be done later. Change of v3: 1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR, KERN_WARNING is enough. 2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we return at once.

2008-06-18Revert "mac80211: Use skb_header_cloned() on TX path."David S. Miller
This reverts commit 608961a5eca8d3c6bd07172febc27b5559408c5d. The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption. This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side). In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a model for implementation. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-06-17af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/ connected DGRAM socketsRainer Weikusat
The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude) form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full. 'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an (usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum. The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue. Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named 'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three different places) into a single location.

2008-06-17ax25: Fix std timer socket destroy handling.David S. Miller
Tihomir Heidelberg - 9a4gl, reports: -------------------- I would like to direct you attention to one problem existing in ax.25 kernel since 2.4. If listening socket is closed and its SKB queue is released but those sockets get weird. Those "unAccepted()" sockets should be destroyed in ax25_std_heartbeat_expiry, but it will not happen. And there is also a note about that in ax25_std_timer.c: /* Magic here: If we listen() and a new link dies before it is accepted() it isn't 'dead' so doesn't get removed. */ This issue cause ax25d to stop accepting new connections and I had to restarted ax25d approximately each day and my services were unavailable. Also netstat -n -l shows invalid source and device for those listening sockets. It is strange why ax25d's listening socket get weird because of this issue, but definitely when I solved this bug I do not have problems with ax25d anymore and my ax25d can run for months without problems. -------------------- Actually as far as I can see, this problem is even in releases as far back as 2.2.x as well. It seems senseless to special case this test on TCP_LISTEN state. Anything still stuck in state 0 has no external references and we can just simply kill it off directly. Signed-off-by: David S.

Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can be created via sysfs).

simplified the code of bond_change_active_slave() such that under active-backup mode there's one "if (new_active)" test and the rest of the code only does extra checks on top of it. This removed an unneeded "if (bond->send_grat_arp > 0)" check and avoid calling bond_send_gratuitous_arp when there's no active slave. Jay Vosburgh made minor coding style changes to the orignal patch.

2008-06-17net/core: add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER eventOr Gerlitz
Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER) always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.
