2010-02-10netfilter: xtables: generate initial table on-demandJan Engelhardt
The static initial tables are pretty large, and after the net namespace has been instantiated, they just hang around for nothing. This commit removes them and creates tables on-demand at runtime when needed. Size shrinks by 7735 bytes (x86_64). Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-02-10netfilter: xtables: use xt_table for hook instantiationJan Engelhardt
The respective xt_table structures already have most of the metadata needed for hook setup. Add a 'priority' field to struct xt_table so that xt_hook_link() can be called with a reduced number of arguments. So should we be having more tables in the future, it comes at no static cost (only runtime, as before) - space saved: 6807373->6806555. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-02-10netfilter: xtables: compact table hook functions (2/2)Jan Engelhardt
The calls to ip6t_do_table only show minimal differences, so it seems like a good cleanup to merge them to a single one too. Space saving obtained by both patches: 6807725->6807373 ("Total" column from `size -A`.) Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
2010-02-10netfilter: xtables: compact table hook functions (1/2)Jan Engelhardt
This patch combines all the per-hook functions in a given table into a single function. Together with the 2nd patch, further simplifications are possible up to the point of output code reduction. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>

2010-02-08mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path.Vivek Natarajan
The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on. This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles. Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every data packet.

When there is a need to restart/reconfig hw, tear down all the aggregation queues and let the mac80211 and driver get in-sync to have the opportunity to re-establish the aggregation queues again. Need to wait until driver re-establish all the station information before tear down the aggregation queues, driver(at least iwlwifi driver) will reject the stop aggregation queue request if station is not ready. But also need to make sure the aggregation queues are tear down before waking up the queues, so mac80211 will not sending frames with aggregation bit set.

2010-02-08mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleepJohannes Berg
Many drivers would like to sleep during station addition and removal, and currently have a high complexity there from not being able to. This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

2010-02-08mac80211: fix deferred hardware scan requestsJohannes Berg
Reinette found the reason for the warnings that happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan finished; her description of the problem: mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is busy with management work at the time. The scan requests are deferred and run after the work has completed. When this occurs there are currently two problems. * The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated with the band and channels to scan not initialized. * When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is that when the driver completes the scan and calls ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress. The reason is that the queued scan work will start the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct has already been allocated. However, in the first pass it will not have been filled, which happens at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this, simply move the allocation after the pending work test as well, so that the first iteration of the scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even in the hardware scan case.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespacesPatrick McHardy
As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it. Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for now as other namespaces are not handled currently. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachepEric Dumazet
nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong. If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO) can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be observed between object freeing and its reuse. We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to its netns). If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one namespace to another one.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix memory corruption with multiple namespacesPatrick McHardy
As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked" conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized. The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked conntrack is in use in other namespaces.
