2009-03-24ipv6: Disallow binding to v4-mapped address on v6-only socket.Vlad Yasevich
A socket marked v6-only, can not receive or send traffic to v4-mapped addresses. Thus allowing binding to v4-mapped address on such a socket makes no sense. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-03-24netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flagPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag. This flag can be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving ENOBUFS errors. Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things to the listener: a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt(). b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync. In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example: a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a given buffer size. b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization). Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down" effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following: 1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the receiver buffer. 2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0). 3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down. 4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state bit 0 is set off), goto step 1. This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer. You can find some results in [1] that show this problem. [1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/ This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in /proc/net/netlink.

2009-03-24netfilter: nf_conntrack: Reduce conntrack count in nf_conntrack_free()Eric Dumazet
We use RCU to defer freeing of conntrack structures. In DOS situation, RCU might accumulate about 10.000 elements per CPU in its internal queues. To get accurate conntrack counts (at the expense of slightly more RAM used), we might consider conntrack counter not taking into account "about to be freed elements, waiting in RCU queues". We thus decrement it in nf_conntrack_free(), not in the RCU callback.

2009-03-23netfilter: sysctl support of logger choiceEric Leblond
This patchs adds support of modification of the used logger via sysctl. It can be used to change the logger to module that can not use the bind operation (ipt_LOG and ipt_ULOG). For this purpose, it creates a directory /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log which contains a file per-protocol. The content of the file is the name current logger (NONE if not set) and a logger can be setup by simply echoing its name to the file. By echoing "NONE" to a /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/PROTO file, the logger corresponding to this PROTO is set to NULL.

commit b1c4a9dddf09fe99b8f88252718ac5b357363dc4 ("ucc_geth: Change uec phy id to the same format as gianfar's") introduced a regression in the ucc_geth driver that causes this oops when fixed-link is used: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0151270 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] TMCUTU NIP: c0151270 LR: c0151270 CTR: c0017760 REGS: cf81fa60 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.29-rc8) MSR: 00009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 24024042 XER: 20000000 DAR: 00000000, DSISR: 20000000 TASK = cf81cba0[1] 'swapper' THREAD: cf81e000 GPR00: c0151270 cf81fb10 cf81cba0 00000000 c0272e20 c025f354 00001e80 cf86b08c GPR08: d1068200 cffffb74 06000000 d106c200 42024042 10085148 0fffd000 0ffc81a0 GPR16: 00000001 00000001 00000000 007ffeb0 00000000 0000c000 cf83f36c cf83f000 GPR24: 00000030 cf83f360 cf81fb20 00000000 d106c200 20000000 00001e80 cf83f360 NIP [c0151270] ucc_geth_open+0x330/0x1efc LR [c0151270] ucc_geth_open+0x330/0x1efc Call Trace: [cf81fb10] [c0151270] ucc_geth_open+0x330/0x1efc (unreliable) [cf81fba0] [c0187638] dev_open+0xbc/0x12c [cf81fbc0] [c0187e38] dev_change_flags+0x8c/0x1b0 This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe() function to use uec_mdio_bus_name(). Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

2009-03-22dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.
