2009-04-22mac80211: Report rejected association to user space SMEJouni Malinen
When using nl80211 association, we need to send association response with a failure code to user space SME instead of just internally trying to send out the same (re)association request again couple of times. This fixes problems in association process getting stuck on a failure when user space is not notified in any way that something actually failed.

This patch introduces a new attribute for a wiphy that tells userspace how long the information elements added to a probe request frame can be at most.

2009-04-22nl80211: Add Michael MIC failure eventJouni Malinen
Define a new nl80211 event, NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE, to be used to notify user space about locally detected Michael MIC failures. This matches with the MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive. Since we do not actually have TSC in the skb anymore when mac80211_ev_michael_mic_failure() is called, that function is changed to take in the TSC as an optional parameter instead of as a requirement to include the TSC after the hdr field (which we did not really follow). For now, TSC is not included in the events from mac80211, but it could be added at some point. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22nl80211: Generate deauth/disassoc event for locally generated framesJouni Malinen
Previously, nl80211 mlme events were generated only for received deauthentication and disassociation frames. We need to do the same for locally generated ones in order to let applications know that we disconnected (e.g., when AP does not reply to a probe). Rename the nl80211 and cfg80211 functions (s/rx_//) to make it clearer that they are used for both received and locally generated frames. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-04-21tun: fix tun_chr_aio_write so that aio worksMichael S. Tsirkin
aio_write gets const struct iovec * but tun_chr_aio_write casts this to struct iovec * and modifies the iovec. As a result, attempts to use io_submit to send packets to a tun device fail with weird errors such as EINVAL. Since tun is the only user of skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec, we can fix this simply by changing the later so that it does not touch the iovec passed to it. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2009-04-20net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.Jarek Poplawski
Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside.

2009-04-19Bluetooth: Add workaround for wrong HCI event in eSCO setupMarcel Holtmann
The Broadcom chips with 2.1 firmware handle the fallback case to a SCO link wrongly when setting up eSCO connections. < HCI Command: Setup Synchronous Connection (0x01|0x0028) plen 17 handle 11 voice setting 0x0060 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 Setup Synchronous Connection (0x01|0x0028) status 0x00 ncmd 1 > HCI Event: Connect Complete (0x03) plen 11 status 0x00 handle 1 bdaddr 00:1E:3A:xx:xx:xx type SCO encrypt 0x01 The Link Manager negotiates the fallback to SCO, but then sends out a Connect Complete event. This is wrong and the Link Manager should actually send a Synchronous Connection Complete event if the Setup Synchronous Connection has been used. Only the remote side is allowed to use Connect Complete to indicate the missing support for eSCO in the host stack. This patch adds a workaround for this which clearly should not be needed, but reality is that broken Broadcom devices are deployed.

2009-04-17[PATCH] net: remove superfluous call to synchronize_net()Eric Dumazet
inet_register_protosw() function is responsible for adding a new inet protocol into a global table (inetsw[]) that is used with RCU rules. As soon as the store of the pointer is done, other cpus might see this new protocol in inetsw[], so we have to make sure new protocol is ready for use. All pending memory updates should thus be committed to memory before setting the pointer. This is correctly done using rcu_assign_pointer() synchronize_net() is typically used at unregister time, after unsetting the pointer, to make sure no other cpu is still using the object we want to dismantle. Using it at register time is only adding an artificial delay that could hide a real bug, and this bug could popup if/when synchronize_rcu() can proceed faster than now. This saves about 13 ms on boot time on a HZ=1000 8 cpus machine ;) (4 calls to inet_register_protosw(), and about 3200 us per call) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single client.
