2008-07-03ipv6: Do not assign non-valid address on interface.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
Check the type of the address when adding a new one on interface. - the unspecified address (::) is always disallowed (RFC4291 2.5.2) - the loopback address is disallowed unless the interface is (one of) loopback (RFC4291 2.5.3). - multicast addresses are disallowed.

2008-07-03tcp: de-bloat a bit with factoring NET_INC_STATS_BH outPavel Emelyanov
There are some places in TCP that select one MIB index to bump snmp statistics like this: if (<something>) NET_INC_STATS_BH(<some_id>); else if (<something_else>) NET_INC_STATS_BH(<some_other_id>); ... else NET_INC_STATS_BH(<default_id>); or in a more tricky but still similar way. On the other hand, this NET_INC_STATS_BH is a camouflaged increment of percpu variable, which is not that small. Factoring those cases out de-bloats 235 bytes on non-preemptible i386 config and drives parts of the code into 80 columns. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/7 up/down: 0/-235 (-235) function old new delta tcp_fastretrans_alert 1437 1424 -13 tcp_dsack_set 137 124 -13 tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue 690 676 -14 tcp_try_undo_recovery 283 265 -18 tcp_sacktag_write_queue 1550 1515 -35 tcp_update_reordering 162 106 -56 tcp_retransmit_timer 990 904 -86 Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-07-02mac80211: rework debug settings and make debugging saferJohannes Berg
This patch reworks the mac80211 debug settings making them more focused and adding help text for those that didn't have one. It also removes a number of printks that can be triggered remotely and add no value, e.g. "too short deauthentication frame received - ignoring". If somebody really needs to debug that they should just add a monitor interface and look at the frames in wireshark. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This changes the RX path to no longer use function pointers for RX handlers but rather invoke them directly.

2008-06-30build algorithms into the mac80211 moduleAdrian Bunk
The old infrastructure was: - the default algorithm is built into mac80211 - other algorithms get into their own modules The implementation of this complicated scheme was horrible (just look at net/mac80211/Makefile), and anyone adding a new algorithm would most likely not get it right at his first attempt. This patch therefore builds all enabled algorithms into the mac80211 module. The user interface for the rate control algorithms changes as follows: - first the user can choose which algorithms to enable (currently only MAC80211_RC_PID is available) - if more than one algorithm is enabled (currently not possible since only one algorithm is present) the user then chooses the default one Note: - MAC80211_RC_PID is always enables for CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n Technical changes: - all selected algorithms get into the mac80211 module - net/mac80211/Makefile can now become much less complicated - support for rc80211_pid_algo.c being modular is no longer required - this includes unexporting mesh_plink_broken Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-06-30netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fixing to check the lower bound of valid ACKJozsef Kadlecsik
Lost connections was reported by Thomas Bätzler (running 2.6.25 kernel) on the netfilter mailing list (see the thread "Weird nat/conntrack Problem with PASV FTP upload"). He provided tcpdump recordings which helped to find a long lingering bug in conntrack. In TCP connection tracking, checking the lower bound of valid ACK could lead to mark valid packets as INVALID because: - We have got a "higher or equal" inequality, but the test checked the "higher" condition only; fixed. - If the packet contains a SACK option, it could occur that the ACK value was before the left edge of our (S)ACK "window": if a previous packet from the other party intersected the right edge of the window of the receiver, we could move forward the window parameters beyond accepting a valid ack. Therefore in this patch we check the rightmost SACK edge instead of the ACK value in the lower bound of valid (S)ACK test.

2008-06-27netlabel: Fix a problem when dumping the default IPv6 static labelsPaul Moore
There is a missing "!" in a conditional statement which is causing entries to be skipped when dumping the default IPv6 static label entries. This can be demonstrated by running the following: # netlabelctl unlbl add default address:::1 \ label:system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 # netlabelctl -p unlbl list ... you will notice that the entry for the IPv6 localhost address is not displayed but does exist (works correctly, causes collisions when attempting to add duplicate entries, etc.).

2008-06-27net/inet_lro: remove setting skb->ip_summed when not LRO-ableEli Cohen
When an SKB cannot be chained to a session, the current code attempts to "restore" its ip_summed field from lro_mgr->ip_summed. However, lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code in the path leading to a failure to chain it. Also use a cleaer comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

2008-06-27af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/connected DGRAM socketsRainer Weikusat
For n:1 'datagram connections' (eg /dev/log), the unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This is always wrong for PF_UNIX non-stream sockets connected to server sockets dealing with (potentially) multiple clients if the abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full. 'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an (usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum. The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the unix_dgram_recvmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue. Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named 'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three different places) into a single location.

2008-06-27tcp: fix for splice receive when used with software LROOctavian Purdila
If an skb has nr_frags set to zero but its frag_list is not empty (as it can happen if software LRO is enabled), and a previous tcp_read_sock has consumed the linear part of the skb, then __skb_splice_bits: (a) incorrectly reports an error and (b) forgets to update the offset to account for the linear part Any of the two problems will cause the subsequent __skb_splice_bits call (the one that handles the frag_list skbs) to either skip data, or, if the unadjusted offset is greater then the size of the next skb in the frag_list, make tcp_splice_read loop forever.
