2009-02-13mac80211: Fix the wrong WARN_ON message appearing on enabling power save.Vivek Natarajan
This issue happens only when we are associated with a 11n AP and power save is enabled. In the function 'ieee80211_master_start_xmit', ps_disable_work is queued where wake_queues is called. But before this work is executed, we check if the queues are stopped in _ieee80211_tx and return TX_AGAIN to ieee8011_tx which leads to the warning message. This patch fixes this erroneous case.

2009-02-09mac80211: do not TX injected frames when not allowedLuis R. Rodriguez
Monitor mode is able to TX by using injected frames. We should not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this flag for monitor interfaces. Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-02-05netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()Pablo Neira Ayuso
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no messages at all were delivered: 1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0. 2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone() failure, return -ENOBUFS. 3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH. With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

2009-02-04net: Partially allow skb destructors to be used on receive pathHerbert Xu
As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite any existing destructor with their own. This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged to any socket. With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back for those poor folks still stuck with UDP. Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off. Unfortunately, we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has created a very unhealthy dependency. Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have to allow skb destructors on the receive path. It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path isn't as easy as it seems. For instance, simply adding skb_orphan to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough. This is because we assume all over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present. The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present. Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family matches. However, it turns out that for bridging at least we don't need to do all of this work. This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's easily taken care of). So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the receive path. It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy. One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.
