2009-05-04Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connectionsMarcel Holtmann
Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are no longer valid. With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host. The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only registered when the connection has been successfully established. To avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is registered has been moved into the removal work. As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

2009-05-04mac80211: pid, fix memory corruptionJiri Slaby
pid doesn't count with some band having more bitrates than the one associated the first time. Fix that by counting the maximal available bitrate count and allocate big enough space. Secondly, fix touching uninitialized memory which causes panics. Index sucked from this random memory points to the hell. The fix is to sort the rates on each band change.

2009-05-04mac80211: minstrel, fix memory corruptionJiri Slaby
minstrel doesn't count max rate count in fact, since it doesn't use a loop variable `i' and hence allocs space only for bitrates found in the first band. Fix it by involving the `i' as an index so that it traverses all the bands now and finds the real max bitrate count.

2009-05-04cfg80211: fix race condition with wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()Luis R. Rodriguez
We forgot to lock using the cfg80211_mutex in wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Without the lock there is possible race between processing a reply from CRDA and a driver calling wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). During the processing of the reply from CRDA we free last_request and wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() eventually accesses an element from last_request in the through freq_reg_info_regd(). This is very difficult to reproduce (I haven't), it takes us 3 hours and you need to be banging hard, but the race is obvious by looking at the code.

2009-05-04tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECNIlpo Järvinen
This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it, somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe. The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested ECN off. Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end enable really has some potential gain too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

2009-04-28Bluetooth: Fix connection establishment with low security requirementMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required since it causes interoperability issues. To support this properly the low security requirement translates into different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing a lot simpler.

2009-04-28Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy PairingMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within 10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is triggered. If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and broken devices now. Based on a report by Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2009-04-28net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()Eric Dumazet
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting. This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function. Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is : __kfree_skb() skb_release_head_state() sock_wfree() sock_def_write_space() __wake_up_sync_key() __wake_up_common() receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-27gro: Fix handling of headers that extend over the tailHerbert Xu
The skb_gro_* code fails to handle the case where a header starts in the linear area but ends in the frags area. Since the goal of skb_gro_* is to optimise the case of completely non-linear packets, we can simply bail out if we have anything in the linear area.

2009-04-27ipv4: Limit size of route cache hash tableAnton Blanchard
Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table. On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB: IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes) It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter. With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking 5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms. Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact, in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum. With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option: IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes) With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

2009-04-27drop_monitor: Update netlink protocol to include netlink attribute header in ↵Neil Horman
alert message When I initially implemented this protocol, I disregarded the use of netlink attribute headers, thinking for my purposes they weren't needed. I've come to find out that, as I'm starting to work with sending down messages with associated data (like config messages), the kernel code spits out warnings about trailing data in a netlink skb that doesn't have an associated header on it. As such, I'm going to start including attribute headers in my netlink transaction, and so for completeness, I should likely include them on messages bound from the kernel to user space. This patch adds that header to the kernel, and bumps the protocol version accordingly Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-25vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/downJay Vosburgh
Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set administratively up or down. The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open and close of the VLAN device. This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real devices.

2009-04-23af_iucv: New socket option for setting IUCV MSGLIMITsHendrik Brueckner
The SO_MSGLIMIT socket option modifies the message limit for new IUCV communication paths. The message limit specifies the maximum number of outstanding messages that are allowed for connections. This setting can be lowered by z/VM when an IUCV connection is established. Expects an integer value in the range of 1 to 65535. The default value is 65535. The message limit must be set before calling connect() or listen() for sockets. If sockets are already connected or in state listen, changing the message limit is not supported. For reading the message limit value, unconnected sockets return the limit that has been set or the default limit. For connected sockets, the actual message limit is returned. The actual message limit is assigned by z/VM for each connection and it depends on IUCV MSGLIMIT authorizations specified for the z/VM guest virtual machine.
