2008-06-04tipc: Add missing spinlock in name table display codeAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that the display code that traverses the publication lists belonging to a name table entry take its associated spinlock, to protect against a possible change to one of its "head of list" pointers caused by a simultaneous name table lookup operation by another thread of control.

2008-06-04tipc: Prevent display of name table types with no publicationsAllan Stephens
This patch adds a check to prevent TIPC's name table display code from listing a name type entry if it exists only to hold subscription info, rather than published names. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-06-04tipc: Optimize message initialization routineAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates the rarely-used "error code" argument when initializing a TIPC message header, since the default value of zero is the desired result in most cases; the few exceptional cases now set the error code explicitly.

2008-06-04tipc: Prevent access of non-existent field in short message headerAllan Stephens
This patch eliminates a case where TIPC's link code could try reading a field that is not present in a short message header. (The random value obtained was not being used, but the read operation could result in an invalid memory access exception in extremely rare circumstances.)

2008-06-04tipc: Minor optimizations to received message processingAllan Stephens
This patch enhances TIPC's handler for incoming messages in two ways: - the trivial, single-use routine for processing non-sequenced messages has been merged into the main handler - the interface that received a message is now identified without having to access and/or modify the associated sk_buff Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-06-04tipc: Fix minor bugs in link session number handlingAllan Stephens
This patch introduces a new, out-of-range value to indicate that a link endpoint does not have an existing session established with its peer, eliminating the risk that the previously used "invalid session number" value (i.e. zero) might eventually be assigned as a valid session number and cause incorrect link behavior. The patch also introduces explicit bit masking when assigning a new link session number to ensure it does not exceed 16 bits.

2008-06-04tipc: Fix bugs in message error code display when debuggingAllan Stephens
This patch corrects two problems in the display of error code information in TIPC messages when debugging: - no longer tries to display error code in NAME_DISTRIBUTOR messages, which don't have the error field - now displays error code in 24 byte data messages, which do have the error field Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-04tipc: Standardize error checking on incoming messages via native APIAllan Stephens

2008-06-04tipc: Fix bug in connection setup via native APIAllan Stephens
This patch fixes a bug that prevented TIPC from receiving a connection setup request message on a native TIPC port.

2008-05-21tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayedSridhar Samudrala
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-21tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network modeAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary "publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's current network address is now updated only after the two services are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

2008-05-21tipc: Update "previous node" indicators when node address changesAllan Stephens

2008-05-21tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privilegesAllan Stephens
This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

2008-05-20ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out functionHerbert Xu
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes. When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible. Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.
