2009-11-23sctp: prevent too-fast association id reuseVlad Yasevich
We use the idr subsystem and always ask for an id at or above 1. This results in a id reuse when one association is terminated while another is created. To prevent re-use, we keep track of the last id returned and ask for that id + 1 as a base for each query. We let the idr spin lock protect this base id as well.

2009-11-23sctp: fix integer overflow when setting the autoclose timerAndrei Pelinescu-Onciul
When setting the autoclose timeout in jiffies there is a possible integer overflow if the value in seconds is very large (e.g. for 2^22 s with HZ=1024). The problem appears even on 64-bit due to the integer promotion rules. The fix is just a cast to unsigned long.

2009-11-23sctp: Fix mis-ordering of user space data when multihoming in useNeil Horman
Recently had a bug reported to me, in which the user was sending packets with a payload containing a sequence number. The packets were getting delivered in order according the chunk TSN values, but the sequence values in the payload were arriving out of order. At first I thought it must be an application error, but we eventually found it to be a problem on the transmit side in the sctp stack. The conditions for the error are that multihoming must be in use, and it helps if each transport has a different pmtu. The problem occurs in sctp_outq_flush. Basically we dequeue packets from the data queue, and attempt to append them to the orrered packet for a given transport. After we append a data chunk we add the trasport to the end of a list of transports to have their packets sent at the end of sctp_outq_flush. The problem occurs when a data chunks fills up a offered packet on a transport. The function that does the appending (sctp_packet_transmit_chunk), will try to call sctp_packet_transmit on the full packet, and then append the chunk to a new packet. This call to sctp_packet_transmit, sends that packet ahead of the others that may be queued in the transport_list in sctp_outq_flush. The result is that frames that were sent in one order from the user space sending application get re-ordered prior to tsn assignment in sctp_packet_transmit, resulting in mis-sequencing of data payloads, even though tsn ordering is correct. The fix is to change where we assign a tsn. By doing this earlier, we are then free to place chunks in packets, whatever way we see fit and the protocol will make sure to do all the appropriate re-ordering on receive as is needed.

2009-11-23sctp: Update max.burst implementationVlad Yasevich
Current implementation of max.burst ends up limiting new data during cwnd decay period. The decay is happening becuase the connection is idle and we are allowed to fill the congestion window. The point of max.burst is to limit micro-bursts in response to large acks. This still happens, as max.burst is still applied to each transmit opportunity. It will also apply if a very large send is made (greater then allowed by burst).

2009-11-23sctp: Remove useless last_time_used variableVlad Yasevich
The transport last_time_used variable is rather useless. It was only used when determining if CWND needs to be updated due to idle transport. However, idle transport detection was based on a Heartbeat timer and last_time_used was not incremented when sending Heartbeats. As a result the check for cwnd reduction was always true. We can get rid of the variable and just base our cwnd manipulation on the HB timer (like the code comment sais). We also have to call into the cwnd manipulation function regardless of whether HBs are enabled or not. That way we will detect idle transports if the user has disabled Heartbeats.

2009-11-23pktgen: Fix device name comparesEric Dumazet
Commit e6fce5b916cd7f7f7 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@' tag to device names.

2009-11-23netfilter: xtables: fix conntrack match v1 ipt-save outputFlorian Westphal
commit d6d3f08b0fd998b647a05540cedd11a067b72867 (netfilter: xtables: conntrack match revision 2) does break the v1 conntrack match iptables-save output in a subtle way. Problem is as follows: up = kmalloc(sizeof(*up), GFP_KERNEL); [..] /* * The strategy here is to minimize the overhead of v1 matching, * by prebuilding a v2 struct and putting the pointer into the * v1 dataspace. */ memcpy(up, info, offsetof(typeof(*info), state_mask)); [..] *(void **)info = up; As the v2 struct pointer is saved in the match data space, it clobbers the first structure member (->origsrc_addr). Because the _v1 match function grabs this pointer and does not actually look at the v1 origsrc, run time functionality does not break. But iptables -nvL (or iptables-save) cannot know that v1 origsrc_addr has been overloaded in this way: $ iptables -p tcp -A OUTPUT -m conntrack --ctorigsrc 10.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT $ iptables-save -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m conntrack --ctorigsrc 128.173.134.206 -j ACCEPT (128.173... is the address to the v2 match structure). To fix this, we take advantage of the fact that the v1 and v2 structures are identical with exception of the last two structure members (u8 in v1, u16 in v2). We extract them as early as possible and prevent the v2 matching function from looking at those two members directly.

2009-11-23netfilter: nf_ct_tcp: improve out-of-sync situation in TCP trackingPablo Neira Ayuso
Without this patch, if we receive a SYN packet from the client while the firewall is out-of-sync, we let it go through. Then, if we see the SYN/ACK reply coming from the server, we destroy the conntrack entry and drop the packet to trigger a new retransmission. Then, the retransmision from the client is used to start a new clean session. This patch improves the current handling. Basically, if we see an unexpected SYN packet, we annotate the TCP options. Then, if we see the reply SYN/ACK, this means that the firewall was indeed out-of-sync. Therefore, we set a clean new session from the existing entry based on the annotated values. This patch adds two new 8-bits fields that fit in a 16-bits gap of the ip_ct_tcp structure. This patch is particularly useful for conntrackd since the asynchronous nature of the state-synchronization allows to have backup nodes that are not perfect copies of the master. This helps to improve the recovery under some worst-case scenarios. I have tested this by creating lots of conntrack entries in wrong state: for ((i=1024;i<65535;i++)); do conntrack -I -p tcp -s 192.168.2.101 -d 192.168.2.2 --sport $i --dport 80 -t 800 --state ESTABLISHED -u ASSURED,SEEN_REPLY; done Then, I make some TCP connections: $ echo GET / | nc 192.168.2.2 80 The events show the result: [UPDATE] tcp 6 60 SYN_RECV src=192.168.2.101 dst=192.168.2.2 sport=33220 dport=80 src=192.168.2.2 dst=192.168.2.101 sport=80 dport=33220 [ASSURED] [UPDATE] tcp 6 432000 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.2.101 dst=192.168.2.2 sport=33220 dport=80 src=192.168.2.2 dst=192.168.2.101 sport=80 dport=33220 [ASSURED] [UPDATE] tcp 6 120 FIN_WAIT src=192.168.2.101 dst=192.168.2.2 sport=33220 dport=80 src=192.168.2.2 dst=192.168.2.101 sport=80 dport=33220 [ASSURED] [UPDATE] tcp 6 30 LAST_ACK src=192.168.2.101 dst=192.168.2.2 sport=33220 dport=80 src=192.168.2.2 dst=192.168.2.101 sport=80 dport=33220 [ASSURED] [UPDATE] tcp 6 120 TIME_WAIT src=192.168.2.101 dst=192.168.2.2 sport=33220 dport=80 src=192.168.2.2 dst=192.168.2.101 sport=80 dport=33220 [ASSURED] and tcpdump shows no retransmissions: 20:47:57.271951 IP 192.168.2.101.33221 > 192.168.2.2.www: S 435402517:435402517(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 4294961827 0,nop,wscale 6> 20:47:57.273538 IP 192.168.2.2.www > 192.168.2.101.33221: S 3509927945:3509927945(0) ack 435402518 win 5792 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 235681024 4294961827,nop,wscale 4> 20:47:57.273608 IP 192.168.2.101.33221 > 192.168.2.2.www: . ack 3509927946 win 92 <nop,nop,timestamp 4294961827 235681024> 20:47:57.273693 IP 192.168.2.101.33221 > 192.168.2.2.www: P 435402518:435402524(6) ack 3509927946 win 92 <nop,nop,timestamp 4294961827 235681024> 20:47:57.275492 IP 192.168.2.2.www > 192.168.2.101.33221: . ack 435402524 win 362 <nop,nop,timestamp 235681024 4294961827> 20:47:57.276492 IP 192.168.2.2.www > 192.168.2.101.33221: P 3509927946:3509928082(136) ack 435402524 win 362 <nop,nop,timestamp 235681025 4294961827> 20:47:57.276515 IP 192.168.2.101.33221 > 192.168.2.2.www: . ack 3509928082 win 108 <nop,nop,timestamp 4294961828 235681025> 20:47:57.276521 IP 192.168.2.2.www > 192.168.2.101.33221: F 3509928082:3509928082(0) ack 435402524 win 362 <nop,nop,timestamp 235681025 4294961827> 20:47:57.277369 IP 192.168.2.101.33221 > 192.168.2.2.www: F 435402524:435402524(0) ack 3509928083 win 108 <nop,nop,timestamp 4294961828 235681025> 20:47:57.279491 IP 192.168.2.2.www > 192.168.2.101.33221: . ack 435402525 win 362 <nop,nop,timestamp 235681025 4294961828> I also added a rule to log invalid packets, with no occurrences :-) .

2009-11-19mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messagesJohannes Berg
With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME requests an authentication but then deauthenticates right away because some new parameters came along. Every time this happens we print a deauth message and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that. The patch looks larger than it really is: __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

2009-11-19mac80211: request TX status where neededJohannes Berg
Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only the injected frames need TX status (the latter for hostapd) so move setting this flag. The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but they don't require it. Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and seems to require it being set for all frames, but that can be fixed in rt2x00. This doesn't really change anything for any drivers but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may opt to not report TX status for frames that don't have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

2009-11-19cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfacesJohannes Berg
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11 networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't help here. The wireless address format used for these links has only space for three addresses, the * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin) * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in the case of managed mode * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local network segment In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient must match and the third address is used as the BSSID. To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a wireless interface to a bridge. Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP and client side that can be used (after negotiating that it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

2009-11-19cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr modeJohannes Berg
It's very likely that not many devices will support four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211 and check them when userspace tries to use the mode. Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev) and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the 4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-11-19mac80211: fix resumeJohannes Berg
When mac80211 resumes, it currently first sets suspended to false so the driver can start doing things and we can receive frames. However, if we actually receive frames then it can end up starting some work which adds timers and then later runs into a BUG_ON in the timer code because it tries add_timer() on a pending timer. Fix this by keeping track of the resuming process by introducing a new variable 'resuming' which gets set to true early on instead of setting 'suspended' to false, and allow queueing work but not receiving frames while resuming.
