2009-10-30RDS: Do not send congestion updates to loopback connectionsAndy Grover
This issue was discovered by HP's Pradeep and fixed in OFED 1.3, but not fixed in later versions, since the fix's implementation was not immediately applyable to the later code. This patch should do the trick for 1.4+ codebases. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-30RDS: Fix panic on unloadAndy Grover
Remove explicit destruction of passive connection when destroying active end of the connection. The passive end is also on the device's connection list, and will thus be cleaned up properly. Panic was caused by trying to clean it up twice. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-30RDS: Fix potential race around rds_i[bw]_allocationAndy Grover
"At rds_ib_recv_refill_one(), it first executes atomic_read(&rds_ib_allocation) for if-condition checking, and then executes atomic_inc(&rds_ib_allocation) if the condition was not satisfied. However, if any other code which updates rds_ib_allocation executes between these two atomic operation executions, it seems that it may result race condition. (especially when rds_ib_allocation + 1 == rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation)" This patch fixes this by using atomic_inc_unless to eliminate the possibility of allocating more than rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation and then decrementing the count if the allocation fails. It also makes an identical change to the iwarp transport. Reported-by: Shin Hong <hongshin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-30RDS: Add GET_MR_FOR_DEST sockoptAndy Grover
RDS currently supports a GET_MR sockopt to establish a memory region (MR) for a chunk of memory. However, the fastreg method ties a MR to a particular destination. The GET_MR_FOR_DEST sockopt allows the remote machine to be specified, and thus support for fastreg (aka FRWRs). Note that this patch does *not* do all of this - it simply implements the new sockopt in terms of the old one, so applications can begin to use the new sockopt in preparation for cutover to FRWRs.

2009-10-29vlan: cleanup multiple unregistrationsPatrick McHardy
The temporary copy of the VLAN group is not neccessary since the lower device is already in the process of being unregistered, if it was neccessary the memset of the global group would introduce a race condition.

2009-10-29net: Fix 'Re: PACKET_TX_RING: packet size is too long'Gabor Gombas
Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain unused. This probably originates from an early version of the PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current code does not make any use of this extra space. This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make use of the full frame size.

2009-10-29net,socket: introduce DECLARE_SOCKADDR helper to catch overflow at build timeCyrill Gorcunov
proto_ops->getname implies copying protocol specific data into storage unit (particulary to __kernel_sockaddr_storage). So when we implement new protocol support we should keep such a detail in mind (which is easy to forget about). Lets introduce DECLARE_SOCKADDR helper which check if storage unit is not overfowed at build time. Eventually inet_getname is switched to use DECLARE_SOCKADDR (to show example of usage).

2009-10-29AF_RAW: Augment raw_send_hdrinc to expand skb to fit iphdr->ihl (v2)Neil Horman
Augment raw_send_hdrinc to correct for incorrect ip header length values A series of oopses was reported to me recently. Apparently when using AF_RAW sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation, people could panic or BUG halt their systems. I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1. Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number, one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call. In raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid. Later during ipsec encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff to provide headroom for the ipsec headers. During this operation, the skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl). Since so little data was passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes. This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket. If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL. I just confirmed this fixes the reported crashes. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2009-10-27mac80211: 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.
