2008-06-27net/inet_lro: remove setting skb->ip_summed when not LRO-ableEli Cohen
When an SKB cannot be chained to a session, the current code attempts to "restore" its ip_summed field from lro_mgr->ip_summed. However, lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code in the path leading to a failure to chain it. Also use a cleaer comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

2008-06-27mac80211: Add RTNL warning for workqueueIvo van Doorn
The workqueue provided by mac80211 should not be used for scheduled tasks that acquire the RTNL lock. This could be done when the driver uses the function ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() within the scheduled work. Such behavior will end in locking dependencies problems when an interface is being removed. This patch will add a notification about the RTNL locking and the mac80211 workqueue to prevent driver developers from blindly using it.

2008-06-26rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked stateHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the "kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something off) is often forgotten. Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may operate). Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request), which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides. Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated. This way, drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill correctly one by one.

Add a notifier chain for use by the rfkill class. This notifier chain signals the following events (more to be added when needed): 1. rfkill: rfkill device state has changed A pointer to the rfkill struct will be passed as a parameter. The notifier message types have been added to include/linux/rfkill.h instead of to include/linux/notifier.h in order to avoid the madness of modifying a header used globally (and that triggers an almost full tree rebuild every time it is touched) with information that is of interest only to code that includes the rfkill.h header.

2008-06-26rfkill: add the WWAN radio typeHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Unfortunately, instead of adding a generic Wireless WAN type, a technology- specific type (WiMAX) was added. That's useless for other WWAN devices, such as EDGE, UMTS, X-RTT and other such radios. Add a WWAN rfkill type for generic wireless WAN devices. No keys are added as most devices really want to use KEY_WLAN for WWAN control (in a cycle of none, WLAN, WWAN, WLAN+WWAN) and need no specific keycode added.

2008-06-26rfkill: add read-write rfkill switch supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Currently, rfkill support for read/write rfkill switches is hacked through a round-trip over the input layer and rfkill-input to let a driver sync rfkill->state to hardware changes. This is buggy and sub-optimal. It causes real problems. It is best to think of the rfkill class as supporting only write-only switches at the moment. In order to implement the read/write functionality properly: Add a get_state() hook that is called by the class every time it needs to fetch the current state of the switch. Add a call to this hook every time the *current* state of the radio plays a role in a decision. Also add a force_state() method that can be used to forcefully syncronize the class' idea of the current state of the switch. This allows for a faster implementation of the read/write functionality, as a driver which get events on switch changes can avoid the need for a get_state() hook. If the get_state() hook is left as NULL, current behaviour is maintained, so this change is fully backwards compatible with the current rfkill drivers. For hardware that issues events when the rfkill state changes, leave get_state() NULL in the rfkill struct, set the initial state properly before registering with the rfkill class, and use the force_state() method in the driver to keep the rfkill interface up-to-date. get_state() can be called by the class from atomic context. It must not sleep. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-06-26rfkill: clarify meaning of rfkill statesHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
rfkill really should have been named rfswitch. As it is, one can get confused whether RFKILL_STATE_ON means the KILL switch is on (and therefore, the radio is being *blocked* from operating), or whether it means the RADIO rf output is on. Clearly state that RFKILL_STATE_ON means the radio is *unblocked* from operating (i.e. there is no rf killing going on).

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them.

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.

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.

2008-06-17rose: improving AX25 routing frames via ROSE networkBernard Pidoux
ROSE network is organized through nodes connected via hamradio or Internet. AX25 packet radio frames sent to a remote ROSE address destination are routed through these nodes. Without the present patch, automatic routing mechanism did not work optimally due to an improper parameter checking. rose_get_neigh() function is called either by rose_connect() or by rose_route_frame(). In the case of a call from rose_connect(), f0 timer is checked to find if a connection is already pending. In that case it returns the address of the neighbour, or returns a NULL otherwise. When called by rose_route_frame() the purpose was to route a packet AX25 frame through an adjacent node given a destination rose address. However, in that case, t0 timer checked does not indicate if the adjacent node is actually connected even if the timer is not null. Thus, for each frame sent, the function often tried to start a new connexion even if the adjacent node was already connected. The patch adds a "new" parameter that is true when the function is called by rose route_frame(). This instructs rose_get_neigh() to check node parameter "restarted". If restarted is true it means that the route to the destination address is opened via a neighbour node already connected. If "restarted" is false the function returns a NULL. In that case the calling function will initiate a new connection as before. This results in a fast routing of frames, from nodes to nodes, until destination is reached, as originaly specified by ROSE protocole.

2008-06-17netfilter: nf_nat: fix RCU racesPatrick McHardy
Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races: - When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in a RCU read side - When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement - When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side Possibly fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315 and/or http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10875 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-16wext: Emit event stream entries correctly when compat.David S. Miller
Three major portions to this change: 1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF, and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines. 2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused. 3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not. 4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines modified in #3. Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info). With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Next we can kill the hacks in fs/compat_ioctl.c and also dispatch compat ioctls down into the driver and 80211 protocol helper layers in order to handle iw_point objects embedded in stream replies which need to be translated. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-06-16netns: introduce the net_hash_mix "salt" for hashesPavel Emelyanov
There are many possible ways to add this "salt", thus I made this patch to be the last in the series to change it if required. Currently I propose to use the struct net pointer itself as this salt, but since this pointer is most often cache-line aligned, shift this right to eliminate the bits, that are most often zeroed. After this, simply add this mix to prepared hashfn-s. For CONFIG_NET_NS=n case this salt is 0 and no changes in hashfn appear.

Although this hash takes addresses into account, the ehash chains can also be too long when, for instance, communications via lo occur. So, prepare the inet_hashfn to take struct net into account. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
