2009-04-06xfrm: fix fragmentation on inter family tunnelsSteffen Klassert
If an ipv4 packet (not locally generated with IP_DF flag not set) bigger than mtu size is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel, the packetsize check in xfrm4_tunnel_check_size() is omited and ipv6 drops the packet without sending a notice to the original sender of the ipv4 packet. Another issue is that ipv4 connection tracking does reassembling of incomming fragmented packets. If such a reassembled packet is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel it will be droped, even if the original sender did proper fragmentation. According to RFC 2473 (section 7) tunnel ipv6 packets resulting from the encapsulation of an original packet are considered as locally generated packets. If such a packet passed the checks in xfrm{4,6}_tunnel_check_size() fragmentation is allowed according to RFC 2473 (section 7.1/7.2). This patch sets skb->local_df in xfrm6_prepare_output() to achieve fragmentation in this case. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-02tcp: miscounts due to tcp_fragment pcount resetIlpo Järvinen
It seems that trivial reset of pcount to one was not sufficient in tcp_retransmit_skb. Multiple counters experience a positive miscount when skb's pcount gets lowered without the necessary adjustments (depending on skb's sacked bits which exactly), at worst a packets_out miscount can crash at RTO if the write queue is empty!

2009-04-02RDS: Use spinlock to protect 64b value update on 32b archsAndy Grover
We have a 64bit value that needs to be set atomically. This is easy and quick on all 64bit archs, and can also be done on x86/32 with set_64bit() (uses cmpxchg8b). However other 32b archs don't have this. I actually changed this to the current state in preparation for mainline because the old way (using a spinlock on 32b) resulted in unsightly #ifdefs in the code.

When GRO/frag_list support was added to GSO, I made an error which broke the support for segmenting linear GSO packets (GSO packets are normally non-linear in the payload). These days most of these packets are constructed by the tun driver, which prefers to allocate linear memory if possible. This is fixed in the latest kernel, but for 2.6.29 and earlier it is still the norm. Therefore this bug causes failures with GSO when used with tun in 2.6.29.

2009-03-27mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifiJohannes Berg
This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle starting and stopping the queues in mac80211. To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the mac80211 counterparts.

2009-03-27mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stopJohannes Berg
Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb queue once aggregation is turned on successfully. We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in a follow-up patch. This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being established, but only after it has been fully established.

2009-03-27mac80211: unify and fix TX aggregation startJohannes Berg

Thus, unify the code for this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both places where TX aggregation can become operational. Additionally, rename the driver notification from IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated; make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs to walk the skb->next list.

Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg code to help these users migrate. Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled system will world roam. This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

2009-03-27cfg80211: fix incorrect assumption on last_request for 11dLuis R. Rodriguez
The incorrect assumption is the last regulatory request (last_request) is always a country IE when processing country IEs. Although this is true 99% of the time the first time this happens this could not be true. This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the assumption the struct won't be null. Note to stable: to port to 29 replace as follows, only 29 has country IE code: s|NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE|REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Quentin Armitage <Quentin@armitage.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-03-27cfg80211: force last_request to be set for OLD_REG if regdom is EULuis R. Rodriguez
Although EU is a bogus alpha2 we need to process the send request as our code depends on last_request being set.

We do not want to require all the drivers using cfg80211 to need to do this. In addition, make the error values consistent by using EOPNOTSUPP instead of semi-random assortment of errno values.

2009-03-27nl80211: Add more through validation of MLME command parametersJouni Malinen
Check that the used authentication type and reason code are valid here so that drivers/mac80211 do not need to care about this. In addition, remove the unnecessary validation of SSID attribute length which is taken care of by netlink policy. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
