2011-10-21tcp: add const qualifiers where possibleEric Dumazet
Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further. For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the temporary null value...

2011-10-21macvtap: Fix the minor device number allocationEric W. Biederman
On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the 31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor, resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days. Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers are available and and to track the association between macvtap minor numbers and macvtap network devices. Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap specific data structures it is impossible to find any other kind of networking device. Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor device range. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-21macvtap: Rewrite macvtap_newlink so the error handling works.Eric W. Biederman
Place macvlan_common_newlink at the end of macvtap_newlink because failing in newlink after registering your network device is not supported. Move device_create into a netdevice creation notifier. The network device notifier is the only hook that is called after the network device has been registered with the device layer and before register_network_device returns success.

2011-10-21macvtap: Fix macvtap_open races in the zero copy enable code.Eric W. Biederman
To see if it is appropriate to enable the macvtap zero copy feature don't test the lowerdev network device flags. Instead test the macvtap network device flags which are a direct copy of the lowerdev flags. This is important because nothing holds a reference to lowerdev and on a very bad day we lowerdev could be a pointer to stale memory. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-10-21macvtap: Close a race between macvtap_open and macvtap_dellink.Eric W. Biederman
There is a small window in macvtap_open between looking up a networking device and calling macvtap_set_queue in which macvtap_del_queues called from macvtap_dellink. After calling macvtap_del_queues it is totally incorrect to allow macvtap_set_queue to proceed so prevent success by reporting that all of the available queues are in use. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Up till now the IP{,V6}_TRANSPARENT socket options (which actually set the same bit in the socket struct) have required CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to set or clear the option. - we make clearing the bit not require any privileges. - we allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to set the bit (as before this change) - we allow CAP_NET_RAW to set this bit, because raw sockets already pretty much effectively allow you to emulate socket transparency.

2011-10-19stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V4)Giuseppe CAVALLARO
This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of descriptor. STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING) and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point to only one data buffer pointer. In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself, whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode. First version of this work has been done by Rayagond. Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code. A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for managing enhanced and normal descriptors. In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage. Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

2011-10-19sysfs: Reject with a warning invalid uses of tagged directories.Eric W. Biederman
sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use it correctly. Add warnings for people using tagged directories improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly. A single inexpensive test in sysfs_find_dirent is almost sufficient to catch all possible misuses. An additional warning is needed in sysfs_add_dirent so that we actually fail when attempting to add an untagged dirent in a tagged directory. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-10-19sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.Eric W. Biederman
Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL. NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed) in the code. Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged file in a tagged directory. To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs. Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace. Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs directories. Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

2011-10-19bonding: fix wrong port enabling in 802.3adFlavio Leitner
The port shouldn't be enabled unless its current MUX state is DISTRIBUTING which is correctly handled by ad_mux_machine(), otherwise the packet sent can be lost because the other end may not be ready. The issue happens on every port initialization, but as the ports are expected to move quickly to DISTRIBUTING, it doesn't cause much problem. However, it does cause constant packet loss if the other peer has the port configured to stay in STANDBY (i.e. SYNC set to OFF). Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner <fbl@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-19net: validate HWTSTAMP ioctl parametersRichard Cochran
This patch adds a sanity check on the values provided by user space for the hardware time stamping configuration. If the values lie outside of the absolute limits, then the ioctl request will be denied. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@omicron.at> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-19net: Move rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many to netdev_run_todo.Eric W. Biederman
This patch moves the rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many (inside the rtnl_lock) into netdev_run_todo (just outside the rtnl_lock). This allows us to gain the full benefit of sychronize_net calling synchronize_rcu_expedited when the rtnl_lock is held. The rcu_barrier in rollback_registered_many was originally a synchronize_net but was promoted to be a rcu_barrier() when it was found that people were unnecessarily hitting the 250ms wait in netdev_wait_allrefs(). Changing the rcu_barrier back to a synchronize_net is therefore safe. Since we only care about waiting for the rcu callbacks before we get to netdev_wait_allrefs() it is also safe to move the wait into netdev_run_todo. This was tested by creating and destroying 1000 tap devices and observing /proc/lock_stat. /proc/lock_stat reports this change reduces the hold times of the rtnl_lock by a factor of 10. There was no observable difference in the amount of time it takes to destroy a network device. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
