2010-01-11tcp: Generalized TTL Security MechanismStephen Hemminger
This patch adds the kernel portions needed to implement RFC 5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM). It is a lightweight security measure against forged packets causing DoS attacks (for BGP). This is already implemented the same way in BSD kernels. For the necessary Quagga patch http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/17389 Description from Cisco http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gt_btsh.html It does add one byte to each socket structure, but I did a little rearrangement to reuse a hole (on 64 bit), but it does grow the structure on 32 bit This should be documented on ip(4) man page and the Glibc in.h file also needs update. IPV6_MINHOPLIMIT should also be added (although BSD doesn't support that). Only TCP is supported, but could also be added to UDP, DCCP, SCTP if desired.

2010-01-07net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp supportJesper Dangaard Brouer
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069, that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router. As described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing. This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received). Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan": /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan This switch technology is known by different vendor names: - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation. - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN. - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation. - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

2010-01-06ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addressesOctavian Purdila
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families (i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled. The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket (e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part). setsockopt sets the inner family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

2010-01-03can/netlink: add CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOTMarc Kleine-Budde
This patch adds the flag CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT. It is used as mask or flag in the "struct can_ctrlmode". It allows userspace via netlink to set a CAN controller into the special "one-shot" mode. In this mode, if supported by the CAN controller, it tries only once to deliver a CAN frame and aborts it if an error (e.g.: arbitration lost) happens.

2009-12-28mac80211: annotate sleeping driver opsKalle Valo
To make it easier to notice cases of calling sleeping ops in atomic context, annotate driver-ops.h with appropiate might_sleep() calls. At the same time, also document in mac80211.h the op functions with missing contexts. mac80211 doesn't seem to use get_tx_stats anywhere currently. Just to be on the safe side, I documented it to be atomic, but hopefully the op can be removed in the future. Compile-tested only.

Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

2009-12-28mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctlyJohannes Berg
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-12-26llc: replace the socket list with a local address based hashOctavian Purdila
For the cases where a lot of interfaces are used in conjunction with a lot of LLC sockets bound to the same SAP, the iteration of the socket list becomes prohibitively expensive. Replacing the list with a a local address based hash significantly improves the bind and listener lookup operations as well as the datagram delivery. Connected sockets delivery is also improved, but this patch does not address the case where we have lots of sockets with the same local address connected to different remote addresses. In order to keep the socket sanity checks alive and fast a socket counter was added to the SAP structure. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-26llc: convert the socket list to RCU lockingOctavian Purdila
For the reclamation phase we use the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU mechanism, which require some extra checks in the lookup code: a) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in another list it will short circuit the iteration for the current list, thus we need to restart the lookup. b) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in the same list we just need to recheck it matches the look-up criteria and if not we can skip to the next element. In this case there is no need to restart the lookup, since sockets are inserted at the start of the list and the worst that will happen is that we will iterate throught some of the list elements more then once. Note that the /proc and multicast delivery was not yet converted to RCU, it still uses spinlocks for protection. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-25net: restore ip source validationJamal Hadi Salim
when using policy routing and the skb mark: there are cases where a back path validation requires us to use a different routing table for src ip validation than the one used for mapping ingress dst ip. One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be the destination system and therefore the local table is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would be used on outbound.

2009-12-23net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey
Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.

2009-12-23quota: decouple fs reserved space from quota reservationDmitry Monakhov
Currently inode_reservation is managed by fs itself and this reservation is transfered on dquot_transfer(). This means what inode_reservation must always be in sync with dquot->dq_dqb.dqb_rsvspace. Otherwise dquot_transfer() will result in incorrect quota(WARN_ON in dquot_claim_reserved_space() will be triggered) This is not easy because of complex locking order issues for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14739 The patch introduce quota reservation field for each fs-inode (fs specific inode is used in order to prevent bloating generic vfs inode). This reservation is managed by quota code internally similar to i_blocks/i_bytes and may not be always in sync with internal fs reservation. Also perform some code rearrangement: - Unify dquot_reserve_space() and dquot_reserve_space() - Unify dquot_release_reserved_space() and dquot_free_space() - Also this patch add missing warning update to release_rsv() dquot_release_reserved_space() must call flush_warnings() as dquot_free_space() does.

Add kfifo_in_rec() - puts some record data into the FIFO Add kfifo_out_rec() - gets some record data from the FIFO Add kfifo_from_user_rec() - puts some data from user space into the FIFO Add kfifo_to_user_rec() - gets data from the FIFO and write it to user space Add kfifo_peek_rec() - gets the size of the next FIFO record field Add kfifo_skip_rec() - skip the next fifo out record Add kfifo_avail_rec() - determinate the number of bytes available in a record FIFO Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-12-22kfifo: add kfifo_skip, kfifo_from_user and kfifo_to_userStefani Seibold
Add kfifo_reset_out() for save lockless discard the fifo output Add kfifo_skip() to skip a number of output bytes Add kfifo_from_user() to copy user space data into the fifo Add kfifo_to_user() to copy fifo data to user space Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-12-22kfifo: add DEFINE_KFIFO and friends, add very tiny functionsStefani Seibold
Add DECLARE_KFIFO - macro to declare a kfifo and the associated buffer inside a struct Add INIT_KFIFO - Initialize a kfifo declared by DECLARED_KFIFO Add DEFINE_KFIFO - macro to define and initialize a kfifo as a global or local object Add kfifo_size() - returns the size of the fifo in bytes Add kfifo_is_empty() - returns true if the fifo is empty Add kfifo_is_full() - returns true if the fifo is full Add kfifo_avail() - returns the number of bytes available in the FIFO Do some code cleanup Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
