Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1
(net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.
sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
while not fully (re)initialized.
This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning
of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job.
We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)

Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.
The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.
A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.
A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.
In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.
To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.
I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

The function get_net_ns_by_pid(), to get a network
namespace from a pid_t, will be required in cfg80211
as well. Therefore, let's move it to net_namespace.c
and export it. We can't make it a static inline in
the !NETNS case because it needs to verify that the
given pid even exists (and return -ESRCH).

This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.
A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).
The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.
After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.
Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into
the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can
race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against
leaving an IBSS, etc.
Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects
most of the per-interface data that we need to keep
track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock
everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to
work structs so that we don't require being able to
sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception
to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that
currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier
to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future
drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever
exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like
mac80211 anyway...
In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc
properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will
determine locking requirements.

We've designed the /dev/rfkill API in a way that we
can increase the event struct by adding members at
the end, should it become necessary. To validate the
events, userspace and the kernel need to have the
proper event size to check for -- when reading from
the other end they need to verify that it's at least
version 1 of the event API, with the current struct
size, so define a constant for that and make the
code a little more 'future proof'.
Not that I expect that we'll have to change the event
size any time soon, but it's better to write the code
in a way that lends itself to extending.
Due to the current size of the event struct, the code
is currently equivalent, but should the event struct
ever need to be increased the new code might not need
changing.

In order to avoid problems with BSS structs going away
while they're in use, I've long wanted to make cfg80211
keep track of them. Without the SME, that wasn't doable
but now that we have the SME we can do this too. It can
keep track of up to four separate authentications and
one association, regardless of whether it's controlled
by the cfg80211 SME or the userspace SME.

This patch introduces the cfg80211 connect/disconnect API.
The goal here is to run the AUTH and ASSOC steps in one call.
This is needed for some fullmac cards that run both steps
directly from the target, after the host driver sends a
connect command.
Additionally, all the new crypto parameters for connect()
are now also valid for associate() -- although associate
requires the IEs to be used, the information can be useful
for drivers and should be given.

This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing
and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing
like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by
default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and
shouldn't be enabled in most kernels.
The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to
identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA
attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the
command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode
multicast group).
I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the
command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement
the testmode command.
Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the
command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use
of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is
currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and
the testmode command only serves as an example of how to
use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the
TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at
http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD
licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their
own internal fabrication and validation tools.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.
Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
CPU1 CPU2
sys_select receive packet
... ...
__add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
... ...
tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
... {
schedule ...
if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
...
}
If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.
