2007-10-10[PATCH] libertas: uppercase some #definesHolger Schurig
Usually constants defined by #define are in ALL_UPPERCASE. This patch fixes this. I also shuffled the bits around so that they match the bit positions in the host-interrupt-state register of the CF/SDIO card :-) Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <hs4233@mail.mn-solutions.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-10-10[PATCH] libertas: make more functions static & remove unused functionsHolger Schurig
Some functions where declared in header files, but used only once. They are now static functions. After doing this, I found out that some functions weren't used at all. I removed this dead code.

2007-10-10[PATCH] libertas: remove fw.cHolger Schurig
Firmware download is quite different for different hardware. The SDIO and CF cards have two flat files that need to be downloaded, whereas the USB driver needs only one file, but with an internal structure. The code that handles this (USB only) structured file is currently in fw.c. This patch moves this code into if_usb.c. The remaining functions in fw.c have not much to do with firmware, they are various card- and network-stack initialisation functions. I've moved them into main.c.

2007-10-10[PATCH] libertas: simplify and clean up data rate handlingDan Williams
Remove unused/duplicated fields and consolidate static data rate arrays, for example the libertas_supported_rates[] and datarates[] arrays in the bss_descriptor structure, and the libertas_supported_rates field in the wlan_adapter structure. Introduce libertas_fw_index_to_data_rate and libertas_data_rate_to_fw_index functions and use them everywhere firmware requires a rate index rather than a rate array. The firmware requires the 4 basic rates to have the MSB set, but most other stuff doesn't, like WEXT and mesh ioctls. Therefore, only set the MSB on basic rates when pushing rate arrays to firmware instead of doing a ton of (rate & 0x7f) everywhere.

2007-10-10[PATCH] libertas: specific mesh scan for mshX interfaceLuis Carlos Cobo
With this patch, scanning with mshX interface will only return mesh networks. To differentiate them, a specific mesh IE in beacons/probe responses is used. This IE has been introduced in firmware release 5.110.14. Note: Even though there can be at most a single mesh per channel, this scan might return several networks in the same channel. If all nodes in a mesh network are associated to an AP, they won't produce beacons/probe responses, thus the network will not be listed. This will be fixed in future firmware releases. Scan on ethX interface is not filtered, so it will list both mesh and non-mesh networks. Signed-off-by: Luis Carlos Cobo <luisca@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Fix loopback network namespace initialization.Daniel Lezcano

2007-10-10[NET]: Implement network device movement between namespacesEric W. Biederman
This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate a network device is local to a single network namespace and should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network namespace. This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace a function used to move a network device from one network namespace to another. To the network device nothing special appears to happen, to the components of the network stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered in the network namespace it is in, and a new device was registered in the network namespace the device was moved to. This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the movable network devices to the initial network namespace so they are not lost.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlinkEric W. Biederman
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safeEric W. Biederman
This patch modifies every packet receive function registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they are not from the initial network namespace.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.Eric W. Biederman
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace. Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe. Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the exotic protocols are supported. Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

2007-10-10[IrDA]: Kingsun KS-959 IrDA USB driverAlex Villacís Lasso
This dongle does not follow the usb-irda specification, so it needs its own special driver. First, it uses control URBs for data transfer, instead of bulk or interrupt transfers; the only interrupt endpoint exposed seems to be a dummy to prevent the interface from being rejected. Second, it uses obfuscation and padding at the USB traffic level, for no apparent reason other than to make reverse engineering harder (full details on obfuscation in comments at beginning of source). Although it is advertised as a "4 Mbps FIR dongle", it apparently loses packets at speeds greater than 57600 bps. On plugin, this dongle reports vendor and device IDs: 0x07d0:0x4959 .

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfsSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated accordingly. Issues and brief design overview: (1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there. (2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus, netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls. (3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt. (4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API, that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure. netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to be used from netconsole.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Support multiple logging targetsSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and (including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too). Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string. Brief overview: We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static "default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Introduce netconsole_netdev_notifierSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. To update fields of underlying netpoll structure at runtime on corresponding NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME notifications. ioctl(SIOCSIFHWADDR or SIOCSIFNAME) could be used to change the hardware/MAC address or name of the local interface that our netpoll is attached to. Whenever this happens, netdev notifier chain is called out with the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR or NETDEV_CHANGENAME event message. We respond to that and update the local_mac or dev_name field of the struct netpoll. This makes sense anyway, but is especially required for dynamic netconsole because the netpoll structure's internal members become user visible files when either sysfs or configfs are used. So this helps us to keep up with the MAC address/name changes and keep values in struct netpoll uptodate. [ Note that ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR) to change IP address of interface at runtime is not handled (to update local_ip of netpoll) on purpose -- some setups may set the local_ip to a private address, not necessary the actual IP address of the sender host, as presently allowed. ] Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This will get extended with other members in further patches. This is done independent of the (to-be-introduced) NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC config option so that we're able to drastically cut down on the #ifdef complexity of final netconsole.c. Also, struct netconsole_target would be required for multiple targets support also, and not just dynamic reconfigurability.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Simplify boot/module option setup logicSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the case of built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() -> netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole()) vs modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the config variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() -> netpoll_parse_options()). This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent of a module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the param string passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable. So, strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is always called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for both cases similar. Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case, so we put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured" variable is redundant with this patch and hence removed.

2007-10-10[NET] netconsole: Remove bogus checkSatyam Sharma
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>. The (!np.dev) check in write_msg() is bogus (always false), because: np.dev is set by netpoll_setup(), which is called by init_netconsole() before register_console(), so write_msg() cannot be triggered unless netpoll_setup() successfully set np.dev. Also np.dev cannot go away from under us, because netpoll_setup() grabs us reference on it. So let's remove the bogus check.
