2009-03-18netns: oops in ip[6]_frag_reasm incrementing statsJorge Boncompte [DTI2]
dev can be NULL in ip[6]_frag_reasm for skb's coming from RAW sockets. Quagga's OSPFD sends fragmented packets on a RAW socket, when netfilter conntrack reassembles them on the OUTPUT path you hit this code path. You can test it with something like "hping2 -0 -d 2000 -f AA.BB.CC.DD" With help from Jarek Poplawski. Signed-off-by: Jorge Boncompte [DTI2] <jorge@dti2.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-18ipv6: Fix incorrect disable_ipv6 behaviorBrian Haley
Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure() to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects. If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1, but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be added in the first place. This also lets the user set this flag and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire system. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-17gro: Fix legacy path napi_complete crashHerbert Xu
On the legacy netif_rx path, I incorrectly tried to optimise the napi_complete call by using __napi_complete before we reenable IRQs. This simply doesn't work since we need to flush the held GRO packets first. This patch fixes it by doing the obvious thing of reenabling IRQs first and then calling napi_complete.

2009-03-16mac80211: deauth before flushing STA informationHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
Even after commit "mac80211: deauth when interface is marked down" (e327b847 on Linus tree), userspace still isn't notified when interface goes down. There isn't a problem with this commit, but because of other code changes it doesn't work on kernels >= 2.6.28 (works if same/similar change applied on 2.6.27 for example). The issue is as follows: after commit "mac80211: restructure disassoc/deauth flows" in 2.6.28, the call to ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate added by commit e327b847 will not work: because we do sta_info_flush(local, sdata) inside ieee80211_stop (iface.c), all stations in interface are cleared, so when calling ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate->ieee80211_set_disassoc (mlme.c), inside ieee80211_set_disassoc we have this in the beginning: sta = sta_info_get(local, ifsta->bssid); if (!sta) { The !sta check triggers, thus the function returns early and ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo(sdata, ifsta) later isn't called, so wpa_supplicant/userspace isn't notified with SIOCGIWAP. This commit moves deauthentication to before flushing STA info (sta_info_flush), thus the above can't happen and userspace is really notified when interface goes down.

2009-03-16mac80211: handle failed scan requests in STA modeHelmut Schaa
If cfg80211 requests a scan it awaits either a return code != 0 from the scan function or the cfg80211_scan_done to be called. In case of a STA mac80211's scan function ever returns 0 and queues the scan request. If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up. If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests. Hence, in both cases call ieee80211_scan_failed (which notifies cfg80211 and resets local->scan_req) if ieee80211_start_scan returns an error.

2009-03-16mac80211: Fix WMM ACM parsing and AC downgrade operationJouni Malinen
Incorrect local->wmm_acm bits were set for AC_BK and AC_BE. Fix this and add some comments to make it easier to understand the AC-to-UP(pair) mapping. Set the wmm_acm bits (and show WMM debug) even if the driver does not implement conf_tx() handler. In addition, fix the ACM-based AC downgrade code to not use the highest priority in error cases. We need to break the loop to get the correct AC_BK value (3) instead of returning 0 (which would indicate AC_VO). The comment here was not really very useful either, so let's provide somewhat more helpful description of the situation. Since it is very unlikely that the ACM flag would be set for AC_BK and AC_BE, these bugs are not likely to be seen in real life networks. Anyway, better do these things correctly should someone really use silly AP configuration (and to pass some functionality tests, too). Remove the TODO comment about handling ACM. Downgrading AC is perfectly valid mechanism for ACM. Eventually, we may add support for WMM-AC and send a request for a TS, but anyway, that functionality won't be here at the location of this TODO comment.

2009-03-16GRO: Move netpoll checks to correct locationHerbert Xu
As my netpoll fix for net doesn't really work for net-next, we need this update to move the checks into the right place. As it stands we may pass freed skbs to netpoll_receive_skb. This patch also introduces a netpoll_rx_on function to avoid GRO completely if we're invoked through netpoll. This might seem paranoid but as netpoll may have an external receive hook it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't think we need this for 2.6.29 though since there's nothing immediately broken by it. This patch also moves the GRO_* return values to netdevice.h since VLAN needs them too (I tried to avoid this originally but alas this seems to be the easiest way out). This fixes a bug in VLAN where it continued to use the old return value 2 instead of the correct GRO_DROP. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-15tcp: make sure xmit goal size never becomes zeroIlpo Järvinen
It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted packets (must hit the max guard in tcp_bound_to_half_wnd()). It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero sized segments we would generate do though in write queue). Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.

2009-03-15tcp: cache result of earlier divides when mss-aligning thingsIlpo Järvinen
The results is very unlikely change every so often so we hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we detect that and do the right thing and again settle for non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.

2009-03-15tcp: simplify tcp_current_mssIlpo Järvinen
There's very little need for most of the callsites to get tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is, so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(), so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16 xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining divide to get that tso on regression).

2009-03-15pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete.Jarek Poplawski
While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858 I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock. This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds, which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

2009-03-13ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verificationDenys Fedoryshchenko
Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927. Here is quote of important information: " An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. " But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227. " The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case where the address turns out to be already in use by another host. " When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip. Signed-off-by: Denys Fedoryshchenko <denys@visp.net.lb> Signed-off-by: David S.

If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param with a zero Adaptation Code Point.
