2007-07-18[XFRM]: Fix crash introduced by struct dst_entry reorderingPatrick McHardy
XFRM expects xfrm_dst->u.next to be same pointer as dst->next, which was broken by the dst_entry reordering in commit 1e19e02c~, causing an oops in xfrm_bundle_ok when walking the bundle upwards. Kill xfrm_dst->u.next and change the only user to use dst->next instead. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-07-17[PATCH] mac80211: regulatory domain cleanupDaniel Drake
Currently, a function misnamed ieee80211_init_client() is used to handle regulatory domain control. It is called from ieee80211_register_hwmode(), which typically runs 2 or 3 times (802.11a/b/g), but each time it iterates over all the modes. This patch cleans this up and removes the confusion: ieee80211_init_client was effectively renamed to ieee80211_set_default_regdomain and is now run on a per-mode basis (doesn't have to deal with netdevs). I also moved the regdomain handling code into its own file and added some documentation. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd4: secinfo handling without secinfo= optionJ. Bruce Fields
We could return some sort of error in the case where someone asks for secinfo on an export without the secinfo= option set--that'd be no worse than what we've been doing. But it's not really correct. So, hack up an approximate secinfo response in that case--it may not be complete, but it'll tell the client at least one acceptable security flavor. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domainJ. Bruce Fields
We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do. However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd. In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that will be left to later patches. Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-16Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it necessary to audit TTY output as well. Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still work). TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly useless audit events. Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel. The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone). Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

2007-07-16O_CLOEXEC for SCM_RIGHTSUlrich Drepper
Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received through Unix domain sockets. The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better. This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations. The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported. Here's a test program to make sure the code works.

2007-07-15[NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify supportPatrick McHardy
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this. This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it. This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two incompatible options around forever.

2007-07-14[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw socketsDmitry Butskoy
From: Dmitry Butskoy <dmitry@butskoy.name> Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747 Problem Description: It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected. There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses. Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is looked up usual way, it is something like: sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif); where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end). But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr" ... Steps to reproduce: Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach. Set IPV6_RECVERR . Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN). You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the socket do not receive it. If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual checks for local/remote addresses).

2007-07-14[NETFILTER]: x_tables: add connlimit matchJan Engelhardt
ipt_connlimit has been sitting in POM-NG for a long time. Here is a new shiny xt_connlimit with: * xtables'ified * will request the layer3 module (previously it hotdropped every packet when it was not loaded) * fixed: there was a deadlock in case of an OOM condition * support for any layer4 protocol (e.g. UDP/SCTP) * using jhash, as suggested by Eric Dumazet * ipv6 support Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-14[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: Don't track locally generated special ICMP errorYasuyuki Kozakai
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes the address to be mangled. To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled in this case. Spotted by Jordan Russell.

2007-07-14[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: Introduces nf_ct_get_tuplepr and uses itYasuyuki Kozakai
nf_ct_get_tuple() requires the offset to transport header and that bothers callers such as icmp[v6] l4proto modules. This introduces new function to simplify them.

2007-07-14[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: make l3proto->prepare() generic and renames itYasuyuki Kozakai
The icmp[v6] l4proto modules parse headers in ICMP[v6] error to get tuple. But they have to find the offset to transport protocol header before that. Their processings are almost same as prepare() of l3proto modules. This makes prepare() more generic to simplify icmp[v6] l4proto module later.

2007-07-14[AF_IUCV]: Avoid deadlock between iucv_path_connect and tasklet.Ursula Braun
An iucv deadlock may occur, where one CPU is spinning on the iucv_table_lock for iucv_tasklet_fn(), while another CPU is holding the iucv_table_lock for an iucv_path_connect() and is waiting for the first CPU in an smp_call_function. Solution: replace spin_lock in iucv_tasklet_fn by spin_trylock and reschedule tasklet in case of non-granted lock.
