2007-07-10bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from masterJay Vosburgh
At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be dropped). This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding. This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on slave devices. The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql, and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but I did not test it.

2007-07-07Fix use-after-free oops in Bluetooth HID.David Woodhouse
When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device. Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the connections.

2007-06-19SCTP: update sctp_getsockopt helpers to allow oversized buffersNeil Horman
I noted the other day while looking at a bug that was ostensibly in some perl networking library, that we strictly avoid allowing getsockopt operations to complete if we pass in oversized buffers. This seems to make libraries like Perl::NET malfunction since it seems to allocate oversized buffers for use in several operations. It also seems to be out of line with the way udp, tcp and ip getsockopt routines handle buffer input (since the *optlen pointer in both an input and an output and gets set to the length of the data that we copy into the buffer). This patch brings our getsockopt helpers into line with other protocols, and allows us to accept oversized buffers for our getsockopt operations. Tested by me with good results.

Commit 164891aadf1721fca4dce473bb0e0998181537c6 broke RTT sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps could be fed to them without providing any way for them to identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

2007-06-14[IPV6] addrconf: Fix IPv6 on tuntap tunnelsHerbert Xu
The recent patch that added ipv6_hwtype is broken on tuntap tunnels. Indeed, it's broken on any device that does not pass the ipv6_hwtype test. The reason is that the original test only applies to autoconfiguration, not IPv6 support. IPv6 support is allowed on any device. In fact, even with the ipv6_hwtype patch applied you can still add IPv6 addresses to any interface that doesn't pass thw ipv6_hwtype test provided that they have a sufficiently large MTU. This is a serious problem because come deregistration time these devices won't be cleaned up properly. I've gone back and looked at the rationale for the patch. It appears that the real problem is that we were creating IPv6 devices even if the MTU was too small. So here's a patch which fixes that and reverts the ipv6_hwtype stuff.
