2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Export details about authentication requirementsMarcel Holtmann
With the Simple Pairing support, the authentication requirements are an explicit setting during the bonding process. Track and enforce the requirements and allow higher layers like L2CAP and RFCOMM to increase them if needed. This patch introduces a new IOCTL that allows to query the current authentication requirements. It is also possible to detect Simple Pairing support in the kernel this way.

2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Initiate authentication during connection establishmentMarcel Holtmann
With Bluetooth 2.1 and Simple Pairing the requirement is that any new connection needs to be authenticated and that encryption has been switched on before allowing L2CAP to use it. So make sure that all the requirements are fulfilled and otherwise drop the connection with a minimal disconnect timeout of 10 milliseconds. This change only affects Bluetooth 2.1 devices and Simple Pairing needs to be enabled locally and in the remote host stack. The previous changes made sure that these information are discovered before any kind of authentication and encryption is triggered. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Use ACL config stage to retrieve remote featuresMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth technology introduces new features on a regular basis and for some of them it is important that the hardware on both sides support them. For features like Simple Pairing it is important that the host stacks on both sides have switched this feature on. To make valid decisions, a config stage during ACL link establishment has been introduced that retrieves remote features and if needed also the remote extended features (known as remote host features) before signalling this link as connected. This change introduces full reference counting of incoming and outgoing ACL links and the Bluetooth core will disconnect both if no owner of it is present. To better handle interoperability during the pairing phase the disconnect timeout for incoming connections has been increased to 10 seconds. This is five times more than for outgoing connections.

2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Export remote Simple Pairing mode via sysfsMarcel Holtmann
Since the remote Simple Pairing mode is stored together with the inquiry cache, it makes sense to show it together with the other information. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Track status of remote Simple Pairing modeMarcel Holtmann
The Simple Pairing process can only be used if both sides have the support enabled in the host stack. The current Bluetooth specification has three ways to detect this support. If an Extended Inquiry Result has been sent during inquiry then it is safe to assume that Simple Pairing is enabled. It is not allowed to enable Extended Inquiry without Simple Pairing. During the remote name request phase a notification with the remote host supported features will be sent to indicate Simple Pairing support. Also the second page of the remote extended features can indicate support for Simple Pairing. For all three cases the value of remote Simple Pairing mode is stored in the inquiry cache for later use.

2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Track status of Simple Pairing modeMarcel Holtmann
The Simple Pairing feature is optional and needs to be enabled by the host stack first. The Linux kernel relies on the Bluetooth daemon to either enable or disable it, but at any time it needs to know the current state of the Simple Pairing mode. So track any changes made by external entities and store the current mode in the HCI device structure. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Disable disconnect timer during Simple PairingMarcel Holtmann
During the Simple Pairing process the HCI disconnect timer must be disabled. The way to do this is by holding a reference count of the HCI connection. The Simple Pairing process on both sides starts with an IO Capabilities Request and ends with Simple Pairing Complete. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Update class of device value whenever possibleMarcel Holtmann
The class of device value can only be retrieved via inquiry or during an incoming connection request. Outgoing connections can't ask for the class of device. To compensate for this the value is stored and copied via the inquiry cache, but currently only updated via inquiry. This update should also happen during an incoming connection request.

2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Make use of the default link policy settingsMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth specification supports the default link policy settings on a per host controller basis. For every new connection the link manager would then use these settings. It is better to use this instead of bothering the controller on every connection setup to overwrite the default settings. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Track connection packet type changesMarcel Holtmann
The connection packet type can be changed after the connection has been established and thus needs to be properly tracked to ensure that the host stack has always correct and valid information about it. On incoming connections the Bluetooth core switches the supported packet types to the configured list for this controller. However the usefulness of this feature has been questioned a lot. The general consent is that every Bluetooth host stack should enable as many packet types as the hardware actually supports and leave the decision to the link manager software running on the Bluetooth chip. When running on Bluetooth 2.0 or later hardware, don't change the packet type for incoming connections anymore. This hardware likely supports Enhanced Data Rate and thus leave it completely up to the link manager to pick the best packet type. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Support the case when headset falls back to SCO linkMarcel Holtmann
When trying to establish an eSCO link between two devices then it can happen that the remote device falls back to a SCO link. Currently this case is not handled correctly and the message dispatching will break since it is looking for eSCO packets. So in case the configured link falls back to SCO overwrite the link type with the correct value. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Update authentication status after successful encryptionMarcel Holtmann
The authentication status is not communicated to both parties. This is actually a flaw in the Bluetooth specification. Only the requesting side really knows if the authentication was successful or not. This piece of information is however needed on the other side to know if it has to trigger the authentication procedure or not. Worst case is that both sides will request authentication at different times, but this should be avoided since it costs extra time when setting up a new connection. For Bluetooth encryption it is required to authenticate the link first and the encryption status is communicated to both sides. So when a link is switched to encryption it is possible to update the authentication status since it implies an authenticated link. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Disconnect when encryption gets disabledMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth specification allows to enable or disable the encryption of an ACL link at any time by either the peer or the remote device. If a L2CAP or RFCOMM connection requested an encrypted link, they will now disconnect that link if the encryption gets disabled. Higher protocols that don't care about encryption (like SDP) are not affected. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Enforce security for outgoing RFCOMM connectionsMarcel Holtmann
Recent tests with various Bluetooth headsets have shown that some of them don't enforce authentication and encryption when connecting. All of them leave it up to the host stack to enforce it. Non of them should allow unencrypted connections, but that is how it is. So in case the link mode settings require authentication and/or encryption it will now also be enforced on outgoing RFCOMM connections. Previously this was only done for incoming connections. This support has a small drawback from a protocol level point of view since the host stack can't really tell with 100% certainty if a remote side is already authenticated or not. So if both sides are configured to enforce authentication it will be requested twice. Most Bluetooth chips are caching this information and thus no extra authentication procedure has to be triggered over-the-air, but it can happen. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2008-07-14[Bluetooth] Change retrieval of L2CAP features maskMarcel Holtmann
Getting the remote L2CAP features mask is really important, but doing this as less intrusive as possible is tricky. To play nice with older systems and Bluetooth qualification testing, the features mask is now only retrieved in two specific cases and only once per lifetime of an ACL link. When trying to establish a L2CAP connection and the remote features mask is unknown, the L2CAP information request is sent when the ACL link goes into connected state. This applies only to outgoing connections and also only for the connection oriented channels. The second case is when a connection request has been received. In this case a connection response with the result pending and the information request will be send. After receiving an information response or if the timeout gets triggered, the normal connection setup process with security setup will be initiated.

The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems: [ 60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data [ 60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353 [ 60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632 [ 60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2 Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware.

2008-07-04cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controllerMike Miller
This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding commands for each controller. Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable exceptions are the E200 and E200i. The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support 64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support 1024. We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.

2008-07-04Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms dataBastian Blank
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel. The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol. This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the __end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data. On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some space between that two areas.

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is active". I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path. I am sorry. The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() + spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the logic and copy_to_user() gets called again. The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20 bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read 10 bytes.
