This patch implements the internals operations of the AUTH, such as key computation and storage. It also adds necessary variables to the SCTP data structures. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[IPV4]: Add ICMPMsgStats MIB (RFC 4293)David L Stevens
Background: RFC 4293 deprecates existing individual, named ICMP type counters to be replaced with the ICMPMsgStatsTable. This table includes entries for both IPv4 and IPv6, and requires counting of all ICMP types, whether or not the machine implements the type. These patches "remove" (but not really) the existing counters, and replace them with the ICMPMsgStats tables for v4 and v6. It includes the named counters in the /proc places they were, but gets the values for them from the new tables. It also counts packets generated from raw socket output (e.g., OutEchoes, MLD queries, RA's from radvd, etc). Changes: 1) create icmpmsg_statistics mib 2) create icmpv6msg_statistics mib 3) modify existing counters to use these 4) modify /proc/net/snmp to add "IcmpMsg" with all ICMP types listed by number for easy SNMP parsing 5) modify /proc/net/snmp printing for "Icmp" to get the named data from new counters.

2007-10-10[ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctlsJeff Garzik
For the operations get-tx-csum get-sg get-tso get-ufo the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior. This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls. The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation -- a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a later date.

The TKIP mixing code was added for the benefit of Intel's ipw3945 chipset but that code ended up not using it.

No existing drivers use this callback, hence there's no telling how it might be used. In fact, it is unlikely to be of much use as-is because the default key index isn't something that the driver can do much with without knowing which interface it was for etc. And if it needs the key index for the transmitted frame, it can get it by keeping a reference to the key_conf structure and looking it up by hw_key_idx.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: fix race conditions with keysJohannes Berg
During receive processing, we select the key long before using it and because there's no locking it is possible that we kfree() the key after having selected it but before using it for crypto operations. Obviously, this is bad. Secondly, during transmit processing, there are two possible races: We have a similar race between select_key() and using it for encryption, but we also have a race here between select_key() and hardware encryption (both when a key is removed.) This patch solves these issues by using RCU: when a key is to be freed, we first remove the pointer from the appropriate places (sdata->keys, sdata->default_key, sta->key) using rcu_assign_pointer() and then synchronize_rcu(). Then, we can safely kfree() the key and remove it from the hardware. There's a window here where the hardware may still be using it for decryption, but we can't work around that without having two hardware callbacks, one to disable the key for RX and one to disable it for TX; but the worst thing that will happen is that we receive a packet decrypted that we don't find a key for any more and then drop it. When we add a key, we first need to upload it to the hardware and then, using rcu_assign_pointer() again, link it into our structures. In the code using keys (TX/RX paths) we use rcu_dereference() to get the key and enclose the whole tx/rx section in a rcu_read_lock() ... rcu_read_unlock() block. Because we've uploaded the key to hardware before linking it into internal structures, we can guarantee that it is valid once get to into tx(). One possible race condition remains, however: when we have hardware acceleration enabled and the driver shuts down the queues, we end up queueing the frame. If now somebody removes the key, the key will be removed from hwaccel and then then driver will be asked to encrypt the frame with a key index that has been removed. Hence, drivers will need to be aware that the hw_key_index they are passed might not be under all circumstances. Most drivers will, however, simply ignore that condition and encrypt the frame with the selected key anyway, this only results in a frame being encrypted with a wrong key or dropped (rightfully) because the key was not valid. There isn't much we can do about it unless we want to walk the pending frame queue every time a key is removed and remove all frames that used it. This race condition, however, will most likely be solved once we add multiqueue support to mac80211 because then frames will be queued further up the stack instead of after being processed.

2007-10-10[IPV4]: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.Eric Dumazet
On loaded/big hosts, rt_check_expire() if of litle use, because it generally breaks out of its main loop because of a jiffies change. It can take a long time (read : timer invocations) to actually scan the whole hash table, freeing unused entries. Converting it to use a workqueue instead of softirq is a nice move because we can allow rt_check_expire() to do the scan it is supposed to do, without hogging the CPU. This has an impact on the average number of entries in cache, reducing ram usage. Cache is more responsive to parameter changes (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_timeout and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval) Note: Maybe the default value of gc_interval (60 seconds) is too high, since this means we actually need 5 (300/60) invocations to scan the whole table.

2007-10-10[NET]: Fix race when opening a proc file while a network namespace is exiting.Eric W. Biederman
The problem: proc_net files remember which network namespace the are against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin the network namespace). So we currently have a small window where the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening a /proc file when it has already gone to zero. To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net. maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it has gone to zero. get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it. PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use the wrong helper function. Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case where get_proc_net returns NULL. In that case I return -ENXIO because effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files we are trying to access don't exist anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[PATCH] NET : convert IP route cache garbage collection from softirq ↵Eric Dumazet
processing to a workqueue When the periodic IP route cache flush is done (every 600 seconds on default configuration), some hosts suffer a lot and eventually trigger the "soft lockup" message. dst_run_gc() is doing a scan of a possibly huge list of dst_entries, eventually freeing some (less than 1%) of them, while holding the dst_lock spinlock for the whole scan. Then it rearms a timer to redo the full thing 1/10 s later... The slowdown can last one minute or so, depending on how active are the tcp sessions. This second version of the patch converts the processing from a softirq based one to a workqueue. Even if the list of entries in garbage_list is huge, host is still responsive to softirqs and can make progress. Instead of resetting gc timer to 0.1 second if one entry was freed in a gc run, we do this if more than 10% of entries were freed.

2007-10-10[NET]: netlink support for moving devices between network namespaces.Eric W. Biederman
The simplest thing to implement is moving network devices between namespaces. However with the same attribute IFLA_NET_NS_PID we can easily implement creating devices in the destination network namespace as well. However that is a little bit trickier so this patch sticks to what is simple and easy. A pid is used to identify a process that happens to be a member of the network namespace we want to move the network device to. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Implement network device movement between namespacesEric W. Biederman
This patch introduces NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL a flag to indicate a network device is local to a single network namespace and should never be moved. Useful for pseudo devices that we need an instance in each network namespace (like the loopback device) and for any device we find that cannot handle multiple network namespaces so we may trap them in the initial network namespace. This patch introduces the function dev_change_net_namespace a function used to move a network device from one network namespace to another. To the network device nothing special appears to happen, to the components of the network stack it appears as if the network device was unregistered in the network namespace it is in, and a new device was registered in the network namespace the device was moved to. This patch sets up a namespace device destructor that upon the exit of a network namespace moves all of the movable network devices to the initial network namespace so they are not lost.

2007-10-10[NET]: Factor out __dev_alloc_name from dev_alloc_nameEric W. Biederman
When forcibly changing the network namespace of a device I need something that can generate a name for the device in the new namespace without overwriting the old name. __dev_alloc_name provides me that functionality.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlinkEric W. Biederman
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
