2006-06-29[NET]: Added GSO header verificationHerbert Xu
When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain), we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware. Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the hardware if it passes the header check. This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for further segmentation.

2006-06-28[PATCH] remove TTY_DONT_FLIPPaul Fulghum
Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag. This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time. 2.2.15 introduced tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the only state requiring protection between these two functions. The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line discipline receive_buf function. Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is not universally honored, it is removed.

2006-06-26[NET] netpoll: break recursive loop in netpoll rx pathNeil Horman
The netpoll system currently has a rx to tx path via: netpoll_rx __netpoll_rx arp_reply netpoll_send_skb dev->hard_start_tx This rx->tx loop places network drivers at risk of inadvertently causing a deadlock or BUG halt by recursively trying to acquire a spinlock that is used in both their rx and tx paths (this problem was origionally reported to me in the 3c59x driver, which shares a spinlock between the boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit routines). This patch breaks this loop, by queueing arp frames, so that they can be responded to after all receive operations have been completed. Tested by myself and the reported with successful results. Specifically it was tested with netdump.

2006-06-26[NET]: skb_find_text ignores to argumentPhil Oester
skb_find_text takes a "to" argument which is supposed to limit how far into the skb it will search for the given text. At present, it seems to ignore that argument on the first skb, and instead return a match even if the text occurs beyond the limit. Patch below fixes this, after adjusting for the "from" starting point. This consequently fixes the netfilter string match's "--to" handling, which currently is broken.

2006-06-25[NET]: Fix CHECKSUM_HW GSO problems.Herbert Xu
Fix checksum problems in the GSO code path for CHECKSUM_HW packets. The ipv4 TCP pseudo header checksum has to be adjusted for GSO segmented packets. The adjustment is needed because the length field in the pseudo-header changes. However, because we have the inequality oldlen > newlen, we know that delta = (u16)~oldlen + newlen is still a 16-bit quantity. This also means that htonl(delta) + th->check still fits in 32 bits. Therefore we don't have to use csum_add on this operations. This is based on a patch by Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>.
