2009-08-03cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming featureLuis R. Rodriguez
A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-07-29mac80211: fix suspendJohannes Berg
Jan reported that his b43-based laptop hangs during suspend. The problem turned out to be mac80211 asking the driver to stop the hardware before removing interfaces, and interface removal caused b43 to touch the hardware (while down, which causes the hang). This patch fixes mac80211 to do reorder these operations to have them in the correct order -- first remove interfaces and then stop the hardware. Some more code is necessary to be able to do so in a race-free manner, in particular it is necessary to not process frames received during quiescing.

2009-07-21mac80211: disable meshJohannes Berg
My kvm instance was complaining a lot about sleeping in atomic contexts in the mesh code, and it turns out that both mesh_path_add() and mpp_path_add() need to be able to sleep (they even use synchronize_rcu()!). I put in a might_sleep() to annotate that, but I see no way, at least right now, of actually making sure those functions are only called from process context since they are both called during TX and RX and the mesh code itself even calls them with rcu_read_lock() "held". Therefore, let's disable it completely for now. It's possible that I'm only seeing this because the hwsim's beaconing is broken and thus the peers aren't discovered right away, but it is possible that this happens even if beaconing is working, for a peer that doesn't exist or so. It should be possible to solve this by deferring the freeing of the tables to call_rcu() instead of using synchronize_rcu(), and also using atomic allocations, but maybe it makes more sense to rework the code to not call these from atomic contexts and defer more of the work to the workqueue. Right now, I can't work on either of those solutions though. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1 (net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory) took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time. sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful. We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake, while not fully (re)initialized. This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job. We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-16netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack_alloc() fixesEric Dumazet
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

The default 9p transport module is not chosen unless an option parameter (any) is passed to mount, which thus returns a ENOPROTOSUPPORT. This fix moves the check out of parse_opts into p9_client_create. Signed-off-by: Abhishek Kulkarni <adkulkar@umail.iu.edu> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

The sit module makes use of skb->dst in it's xmit function, so since 93f154b594fe47 ("net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()") sit tunnels are broken, because the flag IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not unset.

2009-07-11net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memoryEric Dumazet
Some sockets use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, and our RCU code correctness depends on sk->sk_nulls_node.next being always valid. A NULL value is not allowed as it might fault a lockless reader. Current sk_prot_alloc() implementation doesnt respect this hypothesis, calling kmem_cache_alloc() with __GFP_ZERO. Just call memset() around the forbidden field.

2009-07-09net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacksJiri Olsa
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper to wrap the memory barrier. Without the memory barrier, following race can happen. The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches. CPU1 CPU2 sys_select receive packet ... ... __add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt ... ... tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable ... { schedule ... if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep)) wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep) ... } If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and rcv_nxt are opposit to each other. Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask. In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1. The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the socket. Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited: net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c net/irda/af_irda.c net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c net/phonet/socket.c net/rds/af_rds.c net/rfkill/core.c net/sunrpc/cache.c net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c net/tipc/socket.c Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-08netpoll: Fix carrier detection for drivers that are using phylibAnton Vorontsov
Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up: netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier. The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state != SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work. I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost of a minimally longer searching. This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root node settings", commit: 965ffea43d4ebe8cd7b9fee78d651268dd7d23c5 from v2.6.22. Pawel's report: <blockquote> I dont see any big change of (cpu load or faster/slower routing/propagating routes from bgpd or something else) - in avg there is from 2% to 3% more of CPU load i dont know why but it is - i change from "preempt" to "no preempt" 3 times and check this my "mpstat -P ALL 1 30" always avg cpu load was from 2 to 3% more compared to "no preempt" [...] cat /proc/net/fib_triestat Basic info: size of leaf: 20 bytes, size of tnode: 36 bytes.

So, until memory handling is improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this patch resets to safer defaults.

If rix is not found in mi->r[], i will become -1 after the loop. This value is eventually used to access arrays, so we were accessing arrays with a negative index, which is obviously not what we want to do. This patch fixes this potential problem.
