2008-09-04dccp: Implement lookup table for feature-negotiation informationGerrit Renker
A lookup table for feature-negotiation information, extracted from RFC 4340/42, is provided by this patch. All currently known features can be found in this table, along with their feature location, their default value, and type.

2008-09-04dccp: Basic data structure for feature negotiationGerrit Renker
This patch prepares for the new and extended feature-negotiation routines. The following feature-negotiation data structures are provided: * a container for the various (SP or NN) values, * symbolic state names to track feature states, * an entry struct which holds all current information together, * elementary functions to fill in and process these structures. Entry structs are arranged as FIFO for the following reason: RFC 4340 specifies that if multiple options of the same type are present, they are processed in the order of their appearance in the packet; which means that this order needs to be preserved in the local data structure (the later insertion code also respects this order). The struct list_head has been chosen for the following reasons: the most frequent operations are * add new entry at tail (when receiving Change or setting socket options); * delete entry (when Confirm has been received); * deep copy of entire list (cloning from listening socket onto request socket). The NN value has been set to 64 bit, which is a currently sufficient upper limit (Sequence Window feature has 48 bit).

2008-09-04dccp ccid-3: Replace lazy BUG_ON with conditionGerrit Renker
The BUG_ON(w_tot == 0) only holds if there is no more than 1 loss interval in the loss history. If there is only a single loss interval, the calc_i_mean() routine need in fact not be called (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Toggle debug output without module unloadingGerrit Renker
This sets the sysfs permissions so that root can toggle the `debug' parameter available for nearly every DCCP module. This is useful since there are various module inter-dependencies. The debug flag can now be toggled at runtime using echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp/parameters/dccp_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid2/parameters/ccid2_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid3/parameters/ccid3_debug echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_tfrc_lib/parameters/tfrc_debug The last is not very useful yet, since no code at the moment calls the tfrc_debug() macro.

2008-09-04dccp: Empty the write queue when disconnectingGerrit Renker
dccp_disconnect() can be called due to several reasons: 1. when the connection setup failed (inet_stream_connect()); 2. when shutting down (inet_shutdown(), inet_csk_listen_stop()); 3. when aborting the connection (dccp_close() with 0 linger time). In case (1) the write queue is empty. This patch empties the write queue, if in case (2) or (3) it was not yet empty. This avoids triggering the write-queue BUG_TRAP in sk_stream_kill_queues() later on. It also seems natural to do: when breaking an association, to delete all packets that were originally intended for the soon-disconnected end (compare with call to tcp_write_queue_purge in tcp_disconnect()).

2008-09-04dccp: Fill in the Data fields for "Option Error" ResetsGerrit Renker
This updates the use of the `out_invalid_option' label, which produces a Reset (code 5, "Option Error"), to fill in the Data1...Data3 fields as specified in RFC 4340, 5.6. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Silently ignore options with nonsensical lengthsGerrit Renker
This updates the option-parsing code with regard to RFC 4340, 5.8: "[..] options with nonsensical lengths (length byte less than two or more than the remaining space in the options portion of the header) MUST be ignored, and any option space following an option with nonsensical length MUST likewise be ignored." Hence in the following cases erratic options will be ignored: 1. The type byte of a multi-byte option is the last byte of the header options (i.e. effective option length of 1). 2. The value of the length byte is less than the minimum 2. This has been changed from previously 3: although no multi-byte option with a length less than 3 yet exists (cf. table 3 in 5.8), a length of 2 is valid. (The switch-statement in dccp_parse has further per-option length checks.) 3. The option length exceeds the length of the remaining option space. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Always generate a Reset in response to option errorsWei Yongjun
RFC4340 states that if a packet is received with an option error (such as a Mandatory Option as the last byte of the option list), the endpoint should repond with a Reset. In the LISTEN and RESPOND states, the endpoint correctly reponds with Reset, while in the REQUEST/OPEN states, packets with option errors are just ignored. The packet sequence is as follows: Case 1: Endpoint A Endpoint B (CLOSED) (CLOSED) <---------------- REQUEST RESPONSE -----------------> (*1) (with invalid option) <---------------- RESET (with Reset Code 5, "Option Error") (*1) currently just ignored, no Reset is sent Case 2: Endpoint A Endpoint B (OPEN) (OPEN) DATA-ACK -----------------> (*2) (with invalid option) <---------------- RESET (with Reset Code 5, "Option Error") (*2) currently just ignored, no Reset is sent This patch fixes the problem, by generating a Reset instead of silently ignoring option errors.

2008-09-03bnx2x: Accessing un-mapped pageEilon Greenstein
The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64 bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to 64 bytes.

2008-09-03iwlwifi: fix Tx cmd memory allocation failure handlingTomas Winkler
This patch "iwlwifi: do not use GFP_DMA in iwl_tx_queue_init" removes GFP_DMA from allocation tx command buffers. GFP_DMA allows allocation only for memory under 16M which causes allocation problems suspend/resume flows. Using kmalloc is temporal solution and some consistent/coherent allocation schema will be more correct. Since iwlwifi hardware supports 64bit address this solution should work on x86 (32 and 64bit) for now. This patch fixes memory freeing problem in the previous patch.

2008-09-03iwlwifi: W/A for the TSF correction in IBSSAssaf Krauss
This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

2008-09-02ipsec: Fix deadlock in xfrm_state management.David S. Miller
Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held.

2008-09-02ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.Senthil Balasubramanian
This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid() uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211. As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the kernel warning message.

2008-09-02mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruptionJouni Malinen
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

2008-08-29net: Unbreak userspace usage of linux/mroute.hDavid S. Miller
Nothing in linux/pim.h should be exported to userspace. This should fix the XORP build failure reported by Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer. Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these definitions for 10 years we can reasonably expect that applications defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the protocol definitions. And as such the only result of this can be conflict and userland build breakage. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is sizeof(struct sctp_authkey). Since optlen is already checked against the size of that struct, we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.

2008-08-27wan: Missing capability checks in sbni_ioctl()Eugene Teo
There are missing capability checks in the following code: 1300 static int 1301 sbni_ioctl( struct net_device *dev, struct ifreq *ifr, int cmd) 1302 { [...] 1319 case SIOCDEVRESINSTATS : 1320 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */ 1321 return -EPERM; [...] 1336 case SIOCDEVSHWSTATE : 1337 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */ 1338 return -EPERM; [...] 1357 case SIOCDEVENSLAVE : 1358 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */ 1359 return -EPERM; [...] 1372 case SIOCDEVEMANSIPATE : 1373 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */ 1374 return -EPERM; Here's my proposed fix: Missing capability checks.
