2008-02-05b43legacy: fix DMA slot resource leakageStefano Brivio
This fixes four resource leakages. In any error path we must deallocate the DMA frame slots we previously allocated by request_slot(). This is done by storing the ring pointers before doing any ring allocation and restoring the old pointers in case of an error. This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

2008-02-05b43legacy: drop packets we are not able to encryptStefano Brivio
We must drop any packets we are not able to encrypt. We must not send them unencrypted or with an all-zero-key (which basically is the same as unencrypted, from a security point of view). This might only trigger shortly after resume before mac80211 reassociated and reconfigured the keys. It is safe to drop these packets, as the association they belong to is not guaranteed anymore anyway. This is a security fix in the sense that it prevents information leakage.

2008-02-05b43legacy: fix suspend/resumeStefano Brivio
This patch makes suspend/resume work with the b43legacy driver. We must not overwrite the MAC addresses in the init function, as this would also overwrite the MAC on resume. With an all-zero MAC the device firmware is not able to ACK any received packets anymore. Fix this by moving the initializion stuff that must be done on init but not on resume to the start function. Also zero out filter_flags to make sure we don't have some flags from a previous instance for a tiny timeframe until mac80211 reconfigures them.

2008-02-04virtio: reset functionRusty Russell
A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: populate network rings in the probe routine, not openRusty Russell

2008-02-04virtio: Tweak virtio_net definesRusty Russell
1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: Net header needs hdr_lenRusty Russell
It's far easier to deal with packets if we don't have to parse the packet to figure out the header length to know how much to pull into the skb data. Add the field to the virtio_net_hdr struct (and fix the spaces that somehow crept in there). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.Rusty Russell
It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so. Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback now returns void, rather than a boolean. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-02-04virtio: simplify config mechanism.Rusty Russell
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

The driver should inform the stack when checksum has been performed by the HW when both IP and TCP (or UDP) checksum flags are indicated by HW. Previously, it would also inform the stack when only IP checksum flag was indicated by HW. This can cause data corruption when IP fragments are used. The IP Identification field can wrap around and cause data from new fragments to fill into older fragment slots with same IP Id. The stack would then not perform TCP/UDP checksum (after re-assembly of all fragments) since driver falsely stated it was already calculated.

The ARP monitor functions currently acquire RTNL when performing failover operations, but do so incorrectly (out of order). This causes various warnings from might_sleep.

2008-02-03bonding: fix race that causes invalid statisticsAndy Gospodarek
I've seen reports of invalid stats in /proc/net/dev for bonding interfaces, and found it's a pretty easy problem to reproduce. Since the current code zeros the bonding stats when a read is requested and a pointer to that data is returned to the caller we cannot guarantee that the caller has completely accessed the data before a successive call to request the stats zeroes the stats again. This patch creates a new stack variable to keep track of the updated stats and copies the data from that variable into the bonding stats structure. This ensures that the value for any of the bonding stats should not incorrectly return zero for any of the bonding statistics. This does use more stack space and require an extra memcpy, but it seems like a fair trade-off for consistently correct bonding statistics.
