2009-01-29nl80211: New command for adding extra IE(s) into management framesJouni Malinen
A new nl80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE, can be used to add arbitrary IE data into the end of management frames. The interface allows extra IEs to be configured for each management frame subtype, but only some of them (ProbeReq, ProbeResp, Auth, (Re)AssocReq, Deauth, Disassoc) are currently accepted in mac80211 implementation. This makes it easier to implement IEEE 802.11 extensions like WPS and FT that add IE(s) into some management frames. In addition, this can be useful for testing and experimentation purposes.

2009-01-29mac80211: 802.11w - Implement Association Comeback processingJouni Malinen
When MFP is enabled, the AP does not allow a STA to associate if an existing security association exists without first going through SA Query process. When this happens, the association request is denied with a new status code ("temporarily rejected") ans Association Comeback IE is used to notify when the association may be tried again (i.e., when the SA Query procedure has timed out). Use the comeback time to update the mac80211 client MLME timer for next association attempt to minimize waiting time if association is temporarily rejected.

2009-01-22netns: ipmr: enable namespace support in ipv4 multicast routing codeBenjamin Thery
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the network namespace where needed in IPv4 multicast routing code. This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or mfc_caches depending on the routines' contexts. Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current netns: * vif_add/vif_delete * ipmr_new_tunnel * mroute_clean_tables * ipmr_cache_find * ipmr_cache_report * ipmr_cache_unresolved * ipmr_mfc_add/ipmr_mfc_delete * ipmr_get_route * rt_fill_info (in route.c) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-22netns: ipmr: store netns in struct mfc_cacheBenjamin Thery
This patch stores into struct mfc_cache the network namespace each mfc_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc_net. mfc_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during the rest of the cache entry life. A new net parameter is added to ipmr_cache_alloc/ipmr_cache_alloc_unres. This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv4 multicast routing code. At the moment, all mfc_cache are allocated in init_net.

2009-01-21dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctlsGerrit Renker
This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process. The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340 are used: * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes), tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed; * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer); * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255; * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure; * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative; * sync_ratelimit remains as before. Notes: ------ 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c. 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g. "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

2009-01-21dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window featureGerrit Renker
This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the * sequence-number-validity (W) and * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. Specifically, the following is contained in this patch: * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk; * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields; * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side, so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false; * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere; - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3); - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously; * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.
