2008-05-12net: Allow netdevices to specify needed head/tailroomJohannes Berg
This patch adds needed_headroom/needed_tailroom members to struct net_device and updates many places that allocate sbks to use them.

2008-05-12net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless.David S. Miller
Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has quite strong requirements for link-layer header space. Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with mesh enabled we use 128. In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by ordering the cases by those needing the most space down to those needing the least case. Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-12rt2x00: Clean up error handling of PCI queue DMA allocation.Ivo van Doorn
When, for some reason, the rt2x00pci module fails to allocate DMA memory for the queues, it tries to undo the complete initialization of the PCI device, including freeing of the irq. This results in the following error in dmesg, as the irq hadn't been requested yet: [ 78.123456] Trying to free already-free IRQ 17 Fix this by implementing proper error handling code, instead of just using the full uninitialization function.

2008-05-12rt2x00: Fix broken recover-on-error pathIvo van Doorn
During initialization the initialize() callback function in rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb will cleanup the mess they made. rt2x00lib shouldn't call uninitialize because the callback function already cleaned up _and_ the DEVICE_INITIALIZED isn't set which causes the rt2x00lib_uninitialize() to halt directly anyway. All that is required to be cleaned up by rt2x00lib is the queue, and that can be done by calling rt2x00queue_uninitialize() directly.

2008-05-12rt2x00: Don't use pskb_expand_head()Ivo van Doorn
rt2x00pci allocates DMA for descriptor and data, rt61pci doesn't use this for the beacon, but it can use the descriptor part as temporary buffer instead of using pskb_expand_head(). Using this temporary buffer is obviously much better then reallocating the skb buffer... At the same time we can set the data length for the beacon queue at 0, to make sure no DMA is allocated for data (but just for the descriptor).

2008-05-12pppol2tp: Remove null pointer dereference.Julia Lawall
If session is NULL, it is not possible to access its name field. So I have split apart the printing of the error message to drop the printing of the name field in this case. The macro PRINTK actually only evaluates its arguments starting with the third one if the bitwise conjunction of the first two is non-zero. Normally, this conjunction would only be non-zero if debugging mode were turned on, but when session is NULL, the first argument in both the old and new code is -1, and thus the bitwise conjunction is true. Perhaps a different strategy is desired, such as using tunnel->debug, which session->debug is initialized to, but tunnel can also be NULL, so this does not completely solve the problem. This problem was found using the following semantic match (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression E, E1; identifier f; statement S1,S2,S3; @@ * if (E == NULL) { ... when != if (E == NULL) S1 else S2 when != E = E1 * E->f ... when any return ...; } else S3 // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-08netns: Fix arbitrary net_device-s corruptions on net_ns stop.Pavel Emelyanov
When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

2008-05-08netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: restrict RTP expect flushing on error to last ↵Patrick McHardy
request Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and "123" back to back. The first requests will elicit error responses from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP expectations even though we might still see a positive response. Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a negative response for that sequence number.

2008-05-08macvlan: Fix memleak on device removal/crash on module removalPatrick McHardy
As noticed by Ben Greear, macvlan crashes the kernel when unloading the module. The reason is that it tries to clean up the macvlan_port pointer on the macvlan device itself instead of the underlying device. A non-NULL pointer is taken as indication that the macvlan_handle_frame_hook is valid, when receiving the next packet on the underlying device it tries to call the NULL hook and crashes.

2008-05-08tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewRenoIlpo Järvinen
Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit). There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow. This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO. An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO. In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue. The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow. In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most frequently with some small devices such as network printers that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be retransmitted in order to continue. I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla #10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com> had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure out.

2008-05-06[netdrvr] eexpress: IPv6 fails - multicast problemsBruce Robson
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10577 I was unable to access a computer containing an Intel EtherExpress 16 network card using IPv6. I traced this to failure of neighbour discovery. When I used an "ip -6 neigh add" command, on the computer attempting access, to insert a binding between the IPv6 address of the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card and the card's ethernet address, I was able to access that computer using IPv6. Neighbour discovery requires working multicast. The driver sources file eexpress.c contains an approximately 30 line function eexp_setup_filter used when loading multicast addresses. I found 3 problems in this function 1) It wrote the number of multicast addresses to the card instead of the number of bytes in the multicast addresses. 2) When loading multiple multicast addresses it loaded the first one provided multiple times instead of loading each one once. 3) The setting of pointer 'data' from 'dmi->dmi_addr' occured before the test for the error situation of 'dmi' being NULL. Correcting these problems allows the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card to found by IPv6 neighbour discovery. p.s. There is some information on the Intel EtherExpress 16 at http://www.intel.com/support/etherexpress/vintage/sb/cs-013500.htm Datasheet for the Intel 82586 ethernet controller used by the card http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/8/2/5/8/82586.shtml Signed-off-by: Bruce Robson <bns_robson@hotmail.com> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
