2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: fix iff_promiscs, iff_allmultis raceJohannes Berg
When we update the counters iff_promiscs and iff_allmultis in struct ieee80211_local we have no common lock held to protect them. The problem is that the update to each counter may not be atomic, so we could end up with iff_promiscs == -1 in unfortunate conditions. To fix it, use atomic_t values. It doesn't matter whether the two counters are updated together atomically or not, if there are two invocations of set_multicast_list we will end up with multiple configure_filter() invocations of which the latter will always be correct.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: fix interface initialisation and deinitialisationJohannes Berg
When an interface is registered it is still uninitialised so ieee80211_if_reinit() can't be called on it (it will oops.) Hence, we need to move the uninit method assignment. Also, this patch fixes the bug that the master device is never initialised nor deinitialised at all. Oddly, the deinit code had an if statement to not run some code when running for the master interface (which never happened), but that if statement is also wrong. Fix that too. Now that the uninit code is run for the master device, another bug surfaced: it tries to remove all dependent interfaces and that oopses or BUGs at some point, either because it unregisters already unregistered interfaces (missing list_del bug) or due to trying to iterate a list that has had other things removed. Fix this too by handling the master interface specially. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2007-10-10[PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NATHerbert Xu
Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to correctly NAT protocol-specific data. In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so. Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system had to perform a linear scan through the rules. If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take place in the routing subsystem to make this practical. For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim. The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time. The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: fix virtual interface lockingJohannes Berg
Florian Lohoff noticed a bug in mac80211: when bringing the master interface down while other virtual interfaces are up we call dev_close() under a spinlock which is not allowed. This patch removes the sub_if_lock used by mac80211 in favour of using an RCU list. All list manipulations are already done under rtnl so are well protected against each other, and the read-side locks we took in the RX and TX code are already in RCU read-side critical sections.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Simplify the network namespace list locking rules.Eric W. Biederman
Denis V. Lunev <den@sw.ru> noticed that the locking rules for the network namespace list are over complicated and broken. In particular the current register_netdev_notifier currently does not take any lock making the for_each_net iteration racy with network namespace creation and destruction. Oops. The fact that we need to use for_each_net in rtnl_unlock() when the rtnetlink support becomes per network namespace makes designing the proper locking tricky. In addition we need to be able to call rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() when we have the net_mutex held. After thinking about it and looking at the alternatives carefully it looks like the simplest and most maintainable solution is to remove net_list_mutex altogether, and to use the rtnl_mutex instead.

2007-10-10[IPV4]: Remove unnecessary test for the loopback device from inetdev_destroyEric W. Biederman
Currently we never call unregister_netdev for the loopback device so it is impossible for us to reach inetdev_destroy with the loopback device. So the test in inetdev_destroy is unnecessary. Further when testing with my network namespace patches removing unregistering the loopback device and calling inetdev_destroy works fine so there appears to be no reason for avoiding unregistering the loopback device.

2007-10-10[NET]: Add network namespace clone & unshare support.Eric W. Biederman
This patch allows you to create a new network namespace using sys_clone, or sys_unshare. As the network namespace is still experimental and under development clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is selected at compile time. As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

2007-10-10[NET]: Fix running without sysfsEric W. Biederman
When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add the networking specific sysfs attributes. This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx and always compiles in net-sysfs.c net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts that are actually sysfs specific.

This factors code common to dccp_v{4,6}_ctl_send_reset into a separate function, and adds support for filling in the Data 1 ... Data 3 fields from RFC 4340, 5.6. It is useful to have this separate, since the following Reset codes will always be generated from the control socket rather than via dccp_send_reset: * Code 3, "No Connection", cf. 8.3.1; * Code 4, "Packet Error" (identification for Data 1 added); * Code 5, "Option Error" (identification for Data 1..3 added, will be used later); * Code 6, "Mandatory Error" (same as Option Error); * Code 7, "Connection Refused" (what on Earth is the difference to "No Connection"?); * Code 8, "Bad Service Code"; * Code 9, "Too Busy"; * Code 10, "Bad Init Cookie" (not used). Code 0 is not recommended by the RFC, the following codes would be used in dccp_send_reset() instead, since they all relate to an established DCCP connection: * Code 1, "Closed"; * Code 2, "Aborted"; * Code 11, "Aggression Penalty" (12.3).

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-SyncsGerrit Renker
This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4: "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets, such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second." The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and protects against attacks with forged source addresses. Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.) In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended). The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo. Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're sending a sync.

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Remove duplicate code for Reset from connected socketGerrit Renker
In this patch, duplicated code is removed for the case when a Reset packet is sent from a connected socket. This code duplication is between dccp_make_reset and dccp_transmit_skb, which already contained an (up to now entirely unused) switch statement to fill in the reset code from the DCCP_SKB_CB. The only thing that has been removed is the call to dst_clone(dst), since the queue_xmit functions use sk_dst_cache anyway. I wasn't sure which purpose inet_sk_rebuild_header served, so I left it in.

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Add FIXME for send_delayed_ackGerrit Renker
This adds a FIXME to signal that the function dccp_send_delayed_ack is nowhere used in the entire DCCP/CCID code. Using a delayed Ack timer is suggested in 11.3 of RFC 4340, but it has also rather subtle implications for the Ack-Ratio-accounting. CCID2 does not use this (maybe it should).

This fixes the code to correspond to RFC 4340, 7.5.4, which states the exception that a Sync received in state REQUEST generates a Reset (not a SyncAck). To achieve this, only a small change is required. Since dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process() already uses the correct Reset Code number 4 ("Packet Error"), we only need to shift the if-statement a few lines further down.

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Fix Reset/Sync-Flood BugGerrit Renker
This updates sequence number checking with regard to RFC 4340, 7.5.4. Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets, which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno. This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets. In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows: 1. client establishes connection to server; 2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function); 3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno); 4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno; 5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno; 6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1; 7. goto (5). The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR. This causes the Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7) the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Simplify interface of dccp_sample_rttGerrit Renker
The third parameter of dccp_sample_rtt now becomes useless and is removed. Also combined the subtraction of the timestamp echo and the elapsed time. This is safe, since (a) presence of timestamp echo is tested first and (b) elapsed time is either present and non-zero or it is not set and equals 0 due to the memset in dccp_parse_options. To avoid measuring option-processing time, the timestamp for measuring the initial Request/Response RTT sample is taken directly when the function is called (the Linux implementation always adds a timestamp on the Request, so there is no loss in doing this).

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Provide 10s of microsecond timesourceGerrit Renker
This provides a timesource, conveniently used for DCCP timestamps, which returns the elapsed time in 10s of microseconds since initialisation. This makes for a wrap-around time of about 11.9 hours, which should be sufficient for most applications.

2007-10-10[DCCP]: Reuse ktime_get_real() calls againGerrit Renker
This patch reduces the number of timestamps taken in the receive path for each packet. The ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() routine is called in * the receive path for each CCID3-controlled packet * for the nofeedback timer (if no feedback arrives during 4 RTT) Currently, when there is no loss, each packet gets timestamped twice. The patch resolves this by recycling the first timestamp taken on packet reception for RTT sampling. When the no_feedback_timer() is called, then the timestamp argument is simply set to NULL - so that ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() takes care of the logic.
