2005-11-10[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interfaceThomas Graf
Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety, this interface features attribute validation capabilities, simplified message contstruction, and documentation. The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone and easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-11-09[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.Yasuyuki Kozakai
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

2005-11-09[NETFILTER] PPTP helper: fix PNS-PAC expectation call idPhilip Craig
The reply tuple of the PNS->PAC expectation was using the wrong call id. So we had the following situation: - PNS behind NAT firewall - PNS call id requires NATing - PNS->PAC gre packet arrives first then the PNS->PAC expectation is matched, and the other expectation is deleted, but the PAC->PNS gre packets do not match the gre conntrack because the call id is wrong.

2005-11-09[PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototypeChristoph Hellwig
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem. At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

2005-11-08[IPVS]: fix connection leak if expire_nodest_conn=1Julian Anastasov
There was a fix in 2.6.13 that changed the behaviour of ip_vs_conn_expire_now function not to put reference to connection, its callers should hold write lock or connection refcnt. But we forgot to convert one caller, when the real server for connection is unavailable caller should put the connection reference. It happens only when sysctl var expire_nodest_conn is set to 1 and such connections never expire. Thanks to Roberto Nibali who found the problem and tested a 2.4.32-rc2 patch, which is equal to this 2.6 version. Patch for 2.4 is already sent to Marcelo.

2005-11-05[NET]: Fix race condition in sk_stream_wait_connectHerbert Xu
When sk_stream_wait_connect detects a state transition to ESTABLISHED or CLOSE_WAIT prior to it going to sleep, it will return without calling finish_wait and decrementing sk_write_pending. This may result in crashes and other unintended behaviour. The fix is to always call finish_wait and update sk_write_pending since it is safe to do so even if the wait entry is no longer on the queue.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard droppingThomas Graf
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold. This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this option very carefully, it does more harm than good if (qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst cycles. The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.
