2009-07-16cdc-eem: bad crc checkingVincent CUISSARD
When the driver received an EEM packet with CRC option enabled, driver must compute and check the CRC of the Ethernet data. Previous version computes CRC on Ethernet data plus the original CRC value. Skbuff is correctly trimed but the old length is used when CRC is computed. Signed-off-by: Vincent CUISSARD <vincent.cuissard@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-07-16net: sock_copy() fixesEric Dumazet
Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1 (net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory) took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time. sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful. We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake, while not fully (re)initialized. This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job. We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-16E100: work around the driver using streaming DMA mapping for RX descriptors.Krzysztof Halasa
E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to transfer skb->data ownership to the device after it reads the descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms. This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-16bonding: clean muticast addresses when device changes typeMoni Shoua
Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same master. However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its lifetime. This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND or the other way arround. The change of type requires device level multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses depend on the device type. The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes type and dev_open() just after that. In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved. This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 5 bond0 1 0 01005e000116 5 bond0 1 0 01005e7ffffd 5 bond0 1 0 01005e000001 5 bond0 1 0 333300000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 6 ib0 1 0 333300000001 6 ib0 1 0 01005e000001 6 ib0 1 0 01005e7ffffd 6 ib0 1 0 01005e000116 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 and this is how it looks like after the patch. 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff0000000000000ffffffd 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000116 5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000116 6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12401bffff0000000000000ffffffd 6 ib0 2 0 00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001 6 ib0 2 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001 Signed-off-by: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-07-16netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack_alloc() fixesEric Dumazet
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless readers. In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next object in hash chain.) kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next. Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself. As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-07-15net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasksJohannes Berg
Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a 32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00. The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort. A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a 32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its internal information, which is worse than it not getting the information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event. A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for 64-bit quantities. In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was suggested by David Miller, my original approach required always sending two skbs but that had various small problems. To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg parameter. I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read() rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong (64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do this, nor would it be a regression. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-07-15wext: optimise, comment and fix event sendingJohannes Berg
The current function for sending events first allocates the event stream buffer, and then an skb to copy the event stream into. This can be done in one go. Also, the current function leaks kernel data to userspace in a 4 uninitialised bytes, initialise those explicitly. Finally also add a few useful comments, as opposed to the current comments.

2009-07-12net: move and export get_net_ns_by_pidJohannes Berg
The function get_net_ns_by_pid(), to get a network namespace from a pid_t, will be required in cfg80211 as well. Therefore, let's move it to net_namespace.c and export it. We can't make it a static inline in the !NETNS case because it needs to verify that the given pid even exists (and return -ESRCH).

2009-07-12genetlink: make netns awareJohannes Berg
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No generic netlink families except for the controller family are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by one and then set the family->netnsok member to true. A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace, for example when it applies to an object that lives in that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns() to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects that do not have an associated netns). The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast the message in just init_net, which is currently correct for all generic netlink families since they only work in init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all net namespaces because they do not care about the netns at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns aware in some way. After this patch families can easily decide whether or not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many genl families us it for objects not related to networking and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but that will have to be done on a per family basis. Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart problem where network namespaces could be used, genl families and multicast groups are numbered globally and I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces for those families that do not care about netns.

2009-07-12net: make namespace iteration possible under RCUJohannes Berg
All we need to take care of is using proper RCU list add/del primitives and inserting a synchronize_rcu() at one place to make sure the exit notifiers are run after everybody has stopped iterating the list.

2009-07-12netlink: use call_rcu for netlink_change_ngroupsJohannes Berg
For the network namespace work in generic netlink I need to be able to call this function under rcu_read_lock(), otherwise the locking becomes a nightmare and more locks would be needed. Instead, just embed a struct rcu_head (actually a struct listeners_rcu_head that also carries the pointer to the memory block) into the listeners memory so we can use call_rcu() instead of synchronising and then freeing. No rcu_barrier() is needed since this code cannot be modular. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-07-12netlink: remove unused exportsJohannes Berg

2009-07-11net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memoryEric Dumazet
Some sockets use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, and our RCU code correctness depends on sk->sk_nulls_node.next being always valid. A NULL value is not allowed as it might fault a lockless reader. Current sk_prot_alloc() implementation doesnt respect this hypothesis, calling kmem_cache_alloc() with __GFP_ZERO. Just call memset() around the forbidden field.

2009-07-10cfg80211: clean up naming once and for allJohannes Berg

2009-07-10cfg80211: fix lockingJohannes Berg
Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against leaving an IBSS, etc. Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects most of the per-interface data that we need to keep track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to work structs so that we don't require being able to sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like mac80211 anyway... In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will determine locking requirements.
