2007-11-26[IPSEC]: Temporarily remove locks around copying of non-atomic fieldsHerbert Xu
The change 050f009e16f908932070313c1745d09dc69fd62b [IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space caused a regression. Ingo Molnar reports that it causes a potential dead-lock found by the lock validator as it tries to take x->lock within xfrm_state_lock while numerous other sites take the locks in opposite order. For 2.6.24, the best fix is to simply remove the added locks as that puts us back in the same state as we've been in for years. For later kernels a proper fix would be to reverse the locking order for every xfrm state user such that if x->lock is taken together with xfrm_state_lock then it is to be taken within it.

2007-11-23[TCP] MTUprobe: Cleanup send queue check (no need to loop)Ilpo Järvinen
The original code has striking complexity to perform a query which can be reduced to a very simple compare. FIN seqno may be included to write_seq but it should not make any significant difference here compared to skb->len which was used previously. One won't end up there with SYN still queued. Use of write_seq check guarantees that there's a valid skb in send_head so I removed the extra check.

2007-11-23[TCP]: MTUprobe: receiver window & data available checks fixedIlpo Järvinen
It seems that the checked range for receiver window check should begin from the first rather than from the last skb that is going to be included to the probe. And that can be achieved without reference to skbs at all, snd_nxt and write_seq provides the correct seqno already. Plus, it SHOULD account packets that are necessary to trigger fast retransmit [RFC4821]. Location of snd_wnd < probe_size/size_needed check is bogus because it will cause the other if() match as well (due to snd_nxt >= snd_una invariant). Removed dead obvious comment.

This is silly, but I have turned the CONFIG_IP_VS to m, to check the compilation of one (recently sent) fix and set all the CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_XXX options to n to speed up the compilation. In this configuration the compiler warns me about CC [M] net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_proto.o net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_proto.c:49: warning: 'register_ip_vs_protocol' defined but not used Indeed. With no protocols selected there are no calls to this function - all are compiled out with ifdefs.

2007-11-20[NETFILTER]: Fix kernel panic with REDIRECT target.Evgeniy Polyakov
When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and thus not required to be copied. Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced. Report and testing from David <david@unsolicited.net>. [ Patrick McHardy states: I now understand whats happening: - new connection is allocated without helper - connection is REDIRECTed to localhost - nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet - nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension, causing reallocation because of too little space - nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension So your fix is entirely correct, thanks a lot :) ] Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-11-20[WIRELESS] WEXT: Fix userspace corruption on 64-bit.David S. Miller
On 64-bit systems sizeof(struct ifreq) is 8 bytes larger than sizeof(struct iwreq). For GET calls, the wireless extension code copies back into userspace using sizeof(struct ifreq) but userspace and elsewhere only allocates a "struct iwreq". Thus, this copy writes past the end of the iwreq object and corrupts whatever sits after it in memory. Fix the copy_to_user() length. This particularly hurts the compat case because the wireless compat code uses compat_alloc_userspace() and right after this allocated buffer is the current bottom of the user stack, and that's what gets overwritten by the copy_to_user() call.

2007-11-19[TCP]: Problem bug with sysctl_tcp_congestion_control functionSam Jansen
From: "Sam Jansen" <sjansen@google.com> sysctl_tcp_congestion_control seems to have a bug that prevents it from actually calling the tcp_set_default_congestion_control function. This is not so apparent because it does not return an error and generally the /proc interface is used to configure the default TCP congestion control algorithm. This is present in 2.6.18 onwards and probably earlier, though I have not inspected 2.6.15--2.6.17. sysctl_tcp_congestion_control calls sysctl_string and expects a successful return code of 0. In such a case it actually sets the congestion control algorithm with tcp_set_default_congestion_control. Otherwise, it returns the value returned by sysctl_string. This was correct in 2.6.14, as sysctl_string returned 0 on success. However, sysctl_string was updated to return 1 on success around about 2.6.15 and sysctl_tcp_congestion_control was not updated. Even though sysctl_tcp_congestion_control returns 1, do_sysctl_strategy converts this return code to '0', so the caller never notices the error. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-11-15[INET]: Fix potential kfree on vmalloc-ed area of request_sock_queuePavel Emelyanov
The request_sock_queue's listen_opt is either vmalloc-ed or kmalloc-ed depending on the number of table entries. Thus it is expected to be handled properly on free, which is done in the reqsk_queue_destroy(). However the error path in inet_csk_listen_start() calls the lite version of reqsk_queue_destroy, called __reqsk_queue_destroy, which calls the kfree unconditionally. Fix this and move the __reqsk_queue_destroy into a .c file as it looks too big to be inline. As David also noticed, this is an error recovery path only, so no locking is required and the lopt is known to be not NULL. reqsk_queue_yank_listen_sk is also now only used in net/core/request_sock.c so we should move it there too.

The bad news is that in this case the notifier block is not removed from the list, but the error is returned to the caller. In case the caller is in module init function and handles this error this can abort the module loading. The notifier block will be then removed from the kernel, but will be left in the list. Oops :( I think that the notifier block should be removed from the chain in case of error, regardless whether this error is handled by the caller or not.
