2008-06-17rose: improving AX25 routing frames via ROSE networkBernard Pidoux
ROSE network is organized through nodes connected via hamradio or Internet. AX25 packet radio frames sent to a remote ROSE address destination are routed through these nodes. Without the present patch, automatic routing mechanism did not work optimally due to an improper parameter checking. rose_get_neigh() function is called either by rose_connect() or by rose_route_frame(). In the case of a call from rose_connect(), f0 timer is checked to find if a connection is already pending. In that case it returns the address of the neighbour, or returns a NULL otherwise. When called by rose_route_frame() the purpose was to route a packet AX25 frame through an adjacent node given a destination rose address. However, in that case, t0 timer checked does not indicate if the adjacent node is actually connected even if the timer is not null. Thus, for each frame sent, the function often tried to start a new connexion even if the adjacent node was already connected. The patch adds a "new" parameter that is true when the function is called by rose route_frame(). This instructs rose_get_neigh() to check node parameter "restarted". If restarted is true it means that the route to the destination address is opened via a neighbour node already connected. If "restarted" is false the function returns a NULL. In that case the calling function will initiate a new connection as before. This results in a fast routing of frames, from nodes to nodes, until destination is reached, as originaly specified by ROSE protocole.

Fix three ct_extend/NAT extension related races: - When cleaning up the extension area and removing it from the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must not be set to NULL since it may still be used in a RCU read side - When replacing a NAT extension area in the bysource hash, the nat->ct pointer must be assigned before performing the replacement - When reallocating extension storage in ct_extend, the old memory must not be freed immediately since it may still be used by a RCU read side Possibly fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449315 and/or http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10875 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-16wext: Emit event stream entries correctly when compat.David S. Miller
Three major portions to this change: 1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF, and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines. 2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused. 3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not. 4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines modified in #3. Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info). With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-06-16netns: introduce the net_hash_mix "salt" for hashesPavel Emelyanov
There are many possible ways to add this "salt", thus I made this patch to be the last in the series to change it if required. Currently I propose to use the struct net pointer itself as this salt, but since this pointer is most often cache-line aligned, shift this right to eliminate the bits, that are most often zeroed. After this, simply add this mix to prepared hashfn-s. For CONFIG_NET_NS=n case this salt is 0 and no changes in hashfn appear.

2008-06-12tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.David S. Miller
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2dd1e671bad8e9d26c28dcba0039d87 ("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adbf471c7a6b80102e38e1d5a346b3b38 ("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz"). This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting stuck. Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent listening socket. Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the reverse lock ordering. Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted: ---------------------------------------- >--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c >+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c >@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data) > goto death; > } > >+ if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) { >+ tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC); >+ goto death; Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done() will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for freeing. ---------------------------------------- Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all of the bugs: ---------------------------------------- Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole to consume memory without control. ---------------------------------------- So revert this thing for now.

2008-06-12ipv6 netns: Address labels per namespaceBenjamin Thery
This pacth makes IPv6 address labels per network namespace. It keeps the global label tables, ip6addrlbl_table, but adds a 'net' member to each ip6addrlbl_entry. This new member is taken into account when matching labels. Changelog ========= * v1: Initial version * v2: * Minize the penalty when network namespaces are not configured: * the 'net' member is added only if CONFIG_NET_NS is defined. This saves space when network namespaces are not configured. * 'net' value is retrieved with the inlined function ip6addrlbl_net() that always return &init_net when CONFIG_NET_NS is not defined. * 'net' member in ip6addrlbl_entry renamed to the less generic 'lbl_net' name (helps code search).

Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing abnormal termination. Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting: nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847: Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice. nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880: Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped packets. nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824: As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not desired.

control rules The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to standard DAC rules. This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based network controls, per various previous discussions. The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy management. The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle table to prevent breakage of existing users.
