2008-09-08warn: Turn the netdev timeout WARN_ON() into a WARN()Arjan van de Ven
this patch turns the netdev timeout WARN_ON_ONCE() into a WARN_ONCE(), so that the device and driver names are inside the warning message. This helps automated tools like kerneloops.org to collect the data and do statistics, as well as making it more likely that humans cut-n-paste the important message as part of a bugreport.

2008-09-08net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one deviceHerbert Xu
As it stands users of netdev_compute_features (e.g., bridges/bonding) will only enable TSO if all consituent devices support it. This is unnecessarily pessimistic since even on devices that do not support hardware TSO and SG, emulated TSO still performs to a par with TSO off. This patch enables TSO if at least on constituent device supports it in hardware. The direct beneficiaries will be virtualisation that uses bridging since this means that TSO will always be enabled for communication from the host to the guests.

2008-09-08bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zeroStephen Hemminger
Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per second. He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2 and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface. In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts are specifying a hello timer interval of "0". The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

2008-09-08mac80211: Fix rate scale initialization in IBSSEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch address some IBSS rate issues introduced or not covered by "mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()" and "cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion". This patch: 1. Moves addition of IBSS station from prepare_for_handlers to ieee80211_rx_bss_info when triggered from beacon eliminating bogus supported rates. 2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging 3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent 4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path was dead code after 6bc37c06bc4 and in general incorrect.

The correct rate scale information should be updated only in ieee80211_rx_bss_info function where beacon is parsed. Because of coding error the rate info was left untouched.

2008-09-07netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: make sure string is terminated before calling ↵Patrick McHardy
simple_strtoul Alexey Dobriyan points out: 1. simple_strtoul() silently accepts all characters for given base even if result won't fit into unsigned long. This is amazing stupidity in itself, but 2. nf_conntrack_irc helper use simple_strtoul() for DCC request parsing. Data first copied into 64KB buffer, so theoretically nothing prevents reading past the end of it, since data comes from network given 1). This is not actually a problem currently since we're guaranteed to have a 0 byte in skb_shared_info or in the buffer the data is copied to, but to make this more robust, make sure the string is actually terminated.

Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped.

2008-09-02mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruptionJouni Malinen
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be probably used here. Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here. The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

2008-08-29mac80211/cfg80211: HT capabilities for NEW_STAJouni Malinen
Allow userspace (e.g., hostapd) to set HT capabilities for associated STAs. This is based on a patch from Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> (only the NL80211_ATTR_HT_CAPABILITY for NEW_STA part is included here).

Bit 4-5 of DSCP should not be considered by classify_d1. The 802.11 QoS Priority field is only depending on the precedence level. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <wagi@monom.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-08-29mac80211: Handle scan result IEs in one blockJouni Malinen
Clean up and extend scan result processing by storing all the IEs from Beacon/Probe Response frames in a single block instead of allocating memory for each specific IE separately. This removes lot of unnecessary code and automatically supports reporting of new IEs (e.g., IEEE 802.11r) into user space without need to manually extend mac80211 scanning code whenever a new protocol adds IE(s).

2008-08-29mac80211/cfg80211: Add BSS configuration options for AP modeJouni Malinen
This change adds a new cfg80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS, to allow AP mode BSS parameters to be changed from user space (e.g., hostapd). The drivers using mac80211 are expected to be modified with separate changes to use the new BSS info parameter for short slot time in the bss_info_changed() handler.

Otherwise, drivers are required to keep track of the sequence numbers themselves, and they really shouldn't be since we already do it for them.

2008-08-28tcp: Skip empty hash buckets faster in /proc/net/tcpAndi Kleen
On most systems most of the TCP established/time-wait hash buckets are empty. When walking the hash table for /proc/net/tcp their read locks would always be aquired just to find out they're empty. This patch changes the code to check first if the buckets have any entries before taking the lock, which is much cheaper than taking a lock. Since the hash tables are large this makes a measurable difference on processing /proc/net/tcp, especially on architectures with slow read_lock (e.g. PPC) On a 2GB Core2 system time cat /proc/net/tcp > /dev/null (with a mostly empty hash table) goes from 0.046s to 0.005s. On systems with slower atomics (like P4 or POWER4) or larger hash tables (more RAM) the difference is much higher. This can be noticeable because there are some daemons around who regularly scan /proc/net/tcp. Original idea for this patch from Marcus Meissner, but redone by me.

2008-08-27sctp: correct bounds check in sctp_setsockopt_auth_keyVlad Yasevich
The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is sizeof(struct sctp_authkey). Since optlen is already checked against the size of that struct, we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.
