2007-05-08VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipesEric Dumazet
1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/...

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

The Bluetooth host adapters are attached to the Bluetooth class and the low-level connections are children of these class devices.

2007-05-05[Bluetooth] Fix L2CAP and HCI setsockopt() information leaksMarcel Holtmann
The L2CAP and HCI setsockopt() implementations have a small information leak that makes it possible to leak kernel stack memory to userspace. If the optlen parameter is 0, no data will be copied by copy_from_user(), but the uninitialized stack buffer will be read and stored later. A call to getsockopt() can now retrieve the leaked information. To fix this problem the stack buffer given to copy_from_user() must be initialized with the current settings.

2007-05-04[SCTP]: Set assoc_id correctly during INIT collision.Vlad Yasevich
During the INIT/COOKIE-ACK collision cases, it's possible to get into a situation where the association id is not yet set at the time of the user event generation. As a result, user events have an association id set to 0 which will confuse applications. This happens if we hit case B of duplicate cookie processing. In the particular example found and provided by Oscar Isaula <Oscar.Isaula@motorola.com>, flow looks like this: A B ---- INIT-------> (lost) <---------INIT------ ---- INIT-ACK---> <------ Cookie ECHO When the Cookie Echo is received, we end up trying to update the association that was created on A as a result of the (lost) INIT, but that association doesn't have the ID set yet.

2007-05-04[AF_RXRPC]: Sort out MTU handling.David Howells
Sort out the MTU determination and handling in AF_RXRPC: (1) If it's present, parse the additional information supplied by the peer at the end of the ACK packet (struct ackinfo) to determine the MTU sizes that peer is willing to support. (2) Initialise the MTU size to that peer from the kernel's routing records. (3) Send ACKs rather than ACKALLs as the former carry the additional info, and the latter do not. (4) Declare the interface MTU size in outgoing ACKs as a maximum amount of data that can be stuffed into an RxRPC packet without it having to be fragmented to come in this computer's NIC. (5) If sendmsg() is given MSG_MORE then it should allocate an skb of the maximum size rather than one just big enough for the data it's got left to process on the theory that there is more data to come that it can append to that packet. This means, for example, that if AFS does a large StoreData op, all the packets barring the last will be filled to the maximum unfragmented size.

2007-05-03[TCP]: zero out rx_opt in tcp_disconnect()Srinivas Aji
When the server drops its connection, NFS client reconnects using the same socket after disconnecting. If the new connection's SYN,ACK doesn't contain the TCP timestamp option and the old connection's did, tp->tcp_header_len is recomputed assuming no timestamp header but tp->rx_opt.tstamp_ok remains set. Then tcp_build_and_update_options() adds in a timestamp option past the end of the allocated TCP header, overwriting TCP data, or when the data is in skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[], overwriting skb_shinfo(skb) causing a crash soon after. (The issue was debugged from such a crash.) Similarly, wscale_ok and sack_ok also get set based on the SYN,ACK packet but not reset on disconnect, since they are zeroed out at initialization. The patch zeroes out the entire tp->rx_opt struct in tcp_disconnect() to avoid this sort of problem. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Aji <Aji_Srinivas@emc.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-05-03[NETFILTER]: sip: Fix RTP address NATHerbert Xu
I needed to use this recently to talk to a Cisco server. In my case I only did SNAT while the Cisco server used a different address for RTP traffic than the one for SIP. I discovered that nf_nat_sip NATed the RTP address to the SIP one which was unnecessary but OK. However, in doing so it did not DNAT the destination address on the RTP traffic to the Cisco back to the original RTP address. This patch corrects this by noting down the RTP address and using it when the expectation fires.

The intended behaviour for GREv0 packets is to act like nf_conntrack_proto_generic/nf_nat_proto_unknown so I have ripped the offending functions (not used anymore) and modified the nf_nat_proto_gre modules to not touch version 0 (non PPTP) packets.

2007-04-30SUNRPC: Eliminate side effects from rpc_mallocChuck Lever
Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally. Make this a more generic interface: return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize. This looks much more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects. To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc. This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.
