2006-09-13[PATCH] ethtool: allow const ethtool_opsStephen Hemminger
The ethtool_ops structure is immutable, it expected to be setup by the driver and is never changed. This patch allows drivers to declare there ethtool_ops structure read-only. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-08-29[IPV6]: ipv6_add_addr should install dstentry earlierKeir Fraser
ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet. One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the assignment.

Stop processing further but return success when we receive a malformed packet from the AP. We need this patch to workaround some AP bugs.

The IEEE80211 TKIP and WEP Tx and Rx paths use the same crypto_tfm to encrypt and decrypt data. During the encrypt and decrypt process, both of them will set a new key to crypto_tfm. If they happen on the same time, it will corrupt the crypto_tfm. Thus users will receive an ICV error or Michael MIC error. This only likely to happen on SMP box with heavy traffic both on Tx and Rx.

2006-08-26[DCCP]: Fix CCID3Ian McDonald
This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342. CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss. The performance was verified against: http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters: Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%. This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research properly. I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2 msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch at around 30 Mbit/s. Signed off by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-08-26[IPV6]: Segmentation offload not set correctly on TCP childrenStephen Hemminger
TCP over IPV6 would incorrectly inherit the GSO settings. This would cause kernel to send Tcp Segmentation Offload packets for IPV6 data to devices that can't handle it. It caused the sky2 driver to lock http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7050 and the e1000 would generate bogus packets. I can't blame the hardware for gagging if the upper layers feed it garbage. This was a new bug in 2.6.18 introduced with GSO support.

2006-08-24NFS: Check lengths more thoroughly in NFS4 readdir XDR decodeDavid Howells
Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of NFS4 readdir reply data. Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine). Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014). This makes sure that we can do u32* pointer subtraction in the NFS client without risking an undefined result (the result is undefined if the pointers are not correctly aligned with respect to one another).
