2008-07-31netfilter: ipt_recent: fix race between recent_mt_destroy and proc manipulationsPavel Emelyanov
The thing is that recent_mt_destroy first flushes the entries from table with the recent_table_flush and only *after* this removes the proc file, corresponding to that table. Thus, if we manage to write to this file the '+XXX' command we will leak some entries. If we manage to write there a 'clean' command we'll race in two recent_table_flush flows, since the recent_mt_destroy calls this outside the recent_lock. The proper solution as I see it is to remove the proc file first and then go on with flushing the table. This flushing becomes safe w/o the lock, since the table is already inaccessible from the outside.

2008-07-30bridge: send correct MTU value in PMTU (revised)Simon Wunderlich
When bridging interfaces with different MTUs, the bridge correctly chooses the minimum of the MTUs of the physical devices as the bridges MTU. But when a frame is passed which fits through the incoming, but not through the outgoing interface, a "Fragmentation Needed" packet is generated. However, the propagated MTU is hardcoded to 1500, which is wrong in this situation. The sender will repeat the packet again with the same frame size, and the same problem will occur again. Instead of sending 1500, the (correct) MTU value of the bridge is now sent via PMTU. To achieve this, the corresponding rtable structure is stored in its net_bridge structure. Modified to get rid of fake_net_device as well. Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-30pkt_sched: Fix OOPS on ingress qdisc add.David S. Miller
Bug report from Steven Jan Springl: Issuing the following command causes a kernel oops: tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress The problem mostly stems from all of the special case handling of ingress qdiscs. So, to fix this, do the grafting operation the same way we do for TX qdiscs. Which means that dev_activate() and dev_deactivate() now do the "qdisc_sleeping <--> qdisc" transitions on dev->rx_queue too. Future simplifications are possible now, mainly because it is impossible for dev_queue->{qdisc,qdisc_sleeping} to be NULL. There are NULL checks all over to handle the ingress qdisc special case that used to exist before this commit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-07-29rfkill: fix led-trigger unregister order in error unwindHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
rfkill needs to unregister the led trigger AFTER a call to rfkill_remove_switch(), otherwise it will not update the LED state, possibly leaving it ON when it should be OFF. To make led-trigger unregistering safer, guard against unregistering a trigger twice, and also against issuing trigger events to a led trigger that was unregistered. This makes the error unwind paths more resilient. Refer to "rfkill: Register LED triggers before registering switch".

2008-07-26dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

2008-07-26dccp: Bug-Fix - AWL was never updatedGerrit Renker
The AWL lower Ack validity window advances in proportion to GSS, the greatest sequence number sent. Updating AWL other than at connection setup (in the DCCP-Request sent by dccp_v{4,6}_connect()) was missing in the DCCP code. This bug lead to syslog messages such as "kernel: dccp_check_seqno: DCCP: Step 6 failed for DATAACK packet, [...] P.ackno exists or LAWL(82947089) <= P.ackno(82948208) <= S.AWH(82948728), sending SYNC..." The difference between AWL/AWH here is 1639 packets, while the expected value (the Sequence Window) would have been 100 (the default). A closer look showed that LAWL = AWL = 82947089 equalled the ISS on the Response. The patch now updates AWL with each increase of GSS. Further changes: ---------------- The patch also enforces more stringent checks on the ISS sequence number: * AWL is initialised to ISS at connection setup and remains at this value; * AWH is then always set to GSS (via dccp_update_gss()); * so on the first Request: AWL = AWH = ISS, and on the n-th Request: AWL = ISS, AWH = ISS + n. As a consequence, only Response packets that refer to Requests sent by this host will pass, all others are discarded. This is the intention and in effect implements the initial adjustments for AWL as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.1.

2008-07-26dccp: Allow to distinguish original and retransmitted packetsGerrit Renker
This patch allows the sender to distinguish original and retransmitted packets, which is in particular needed for the retransmission of DCCP-Requests: * the first Request uses ISS (generated in net/dccp/ip*.c), and sets GSS = ISS; * all retransmitted Requests use GSS' = GSS + 1, so that the n-th retransmitted Request has sequence number ISS + n (mod 48). To add generic support, the patch reorganises existing code so that: * icsk_retransmits == 0 for the original packet and * icsk_retransmits = n > 0 for the n-th retransmitted packet at the time dccp_transmit_skb() is called, via dccp_retransmit_skb(). Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing this problem out. Further changes: ---------------- * removed the `skb' argument from dccp_retransmit_skb(), since sk_send_head is used for all retransmissions (the exception is client-Acks in PARTOPEN state, but these do not use sk_send_head); * since sk_send_head always contains the original skb (via dccp_entail()), skb_cloned() never evaluated to true and thus pskb_copy() was never used.

2008-07-26Revert "pkt_sched: sch_sfq: dump a real number of flows"David S. Miller
This reverts commit f867e6af94239a04ec23aeec2fcda5aa58e41db7. Based upon discussions between Jarek and Patrick McHardy this is field being set is more a config parameter than a statistic. And we should add a true statistic to provide this information if we really want it. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
