2013-12-10sctp: properly latch and use autoclose value from sock to associationNeil Horman
Currently, sctp associations latch a sockets autoclose value to an association at association init time, subject to capping constraints from the max_autoclose sysctl value. This leads to an odd situation where an application may set a socket level autoclose timeout, but sliently sctp will limit the autoclose timeout to something less than that. Fix this by modifying the autoclose setsockopt function to check the limit, cap it and warn the user via syslog that the timeout is capped. This will allow getsockopt to return valid autoclose timeout values that reflect what subsequent associations actually use. While were at it, also elimintate the assoc->autoclose variable, it duplicates whats in the timeout array, which leads to multiple sources for the same information, that may differ (as the former isn't subject to any capping). This gives us the timeout information in a canonical place and saves some space in the association structure as well.

2013-12-05tcp_memcontrol: Cleanup/fix cg_proto->memory_pressure handling.Eric W. Biederman
kill memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure. The only function of memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure was to reduce deal with the unnecessary abstraction that was tcp_memcontrol. Now that struct tcp_memcontrol is gone remove this unnecessary function, the unnecessary function pointer, and modify sk_enter_memory_pressure to set this field directly, just as sk_leave_memory_pressure cleas this field directly. This fixes a small bug I intruduced when killing struct tcp_memcontrol that caused memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure to never be called and thus failed to ever set cg_proto->memory_pressure. Remove the cg_proto enter_memory_pressure function as it now serves no useful purpose. Don't test cg_proto->memory_presser in sk_leave_memory_pressure before clearing it. The test was originally there to ensure that the pointer was non-NULL. Now that cg_proto is not a pointer the pointer does not matter. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2013-12-05xen-netback: fix fragment detection in checksum setupPaul Durrant
The code to detect fragments in checksum_setup() was missing for IPv4 and too eager for IPv6. (It transpires that Windows seems to send IPv6 packets with a fragment header even if they are not a fragment - i.e. offset is zero, and M bit is not set). This patch also incorporates a fix to callers of maybe_pull_tail() where skb->network_header was being erroneously added to the length argument.

2013-11-28sctp: Restore 'resent' bit to avoid retransmitted chunks for RTT measurementsXufeng Zhang
Currently retransmitted DATA chunks could also be used for RTT measurements since there are no flag to identify whether the transmitted DATA chunk is a new one or a retransmitted one. This problem is introduced by commit ae19c5486 ("sctp: remove 'resent' bit from the chunk") which inappropriately removed the 'resent' bit completely, instead of doing this, we should set the resent bit only for the retransmitted DATA chunks.

functions Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before. As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr length. This broke traceroute and such.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer period of time" 1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink registration. Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant counts for their ops array rather than something like ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar. Also, some genetlink protocols were using fixed IDs for their multicast groups. We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by other protocols can not possibly conflict. In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state management for genetlink operations and multicast groups. 2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value is one the driver actually supports. From Ben Hutchings. 3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar. 4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order relative to skb_scrub_packet(). From Alexei Starovoitov. 5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid. Fix from Toshiaki Makita. 6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita. 7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance decrease. One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in wireless. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts here. Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones. 9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn. 10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the virtio-net header into account. From Michael Dalton. 11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt. statistic bumping, this one has been with us for a while. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Fix NULL deref in the new TIPC fragmentation handling, from Erik Hugne. 13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka Rissanen. 14) macvlan has the same issue as normal vlans did wrt. propagating LRO disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way. From Michal Kubecek. 15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from Daniel Mack. 16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue. 18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little. Fix from Vlad Yasevich. 19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to userspace. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. There is another fix in the works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature. 20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (106 commits) genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse genetlink: pass family to functions using groups genetlink: add and use genl_set_err() genetlink: remove family pointer from genl_multicast_group genetlink: remove genl_unregister_mc_group() hsr: don't call genl_unregister_mc_group() quota/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs drop_monitor/genetlink: use proper genetlink multicast APIs genetlink: only pass array to genl_register_family_with_ops() tcp: don't update snd_nxt, when a socket is switched from repair mode atm: idt77252: fix dev refcnt leak xfrm: Release dst if this dst is improper for vti tunnel netlink: fix documentation typo in netlink_set_err() be2net: Delete secondary unicast MAC addresses during be_close be2net: Fix unconditional enabling of Rx interface options net, virtio_net: replace the magic value ping: prevent NULL pointer dereference on write to msg_name bnx2x: Prevent "timeout waiting for state X" bnx2x: prevent CFC attention bnx2x: Prevent panic during DMAE timeout ...
2013-11-19genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg
Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-11-11netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbsJiri Pirko
Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following example: <example> On HOSTA do: ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT and on HOSTB you do: ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500) Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen) </example> As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed. Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

2013-11-05ipv4: introduce new IP_MTU_DISCOVER mode IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACEHannes Frederic Sowa
Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery, their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag on the outgoing frames. Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could well be forged in an attack. (The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient information to identify a flow.) Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman: <https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf> This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g. <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>, without leading to fixes. This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.

I had intended to pass most of these to you as much as two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I failed to account for the effects of bad Internet connections and my own fatique/laziness while traveling. On the bright side, at least these have been baking in linux-next for some time! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time I have two fixes for P2P (which requires not using CCK rates) and a workaround for APs with broken WMM information." For the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says: "I have a few fixes for warnings/issues: one from Alex, fixing scan timings, one from Emmanuel fixing a WARN_ON in the DVM driver, one from Stanislaw removing a trigger-happy WARN_ON in the MVM driver and a change from myself to try to recover when the device isn't processing commands quickly." And: "For this round, I have a lot of changes: * power management improvements * BT coexistence improvements/updates * new device support * VHT support * IBSS support (though due to a small bug it requires new firmware) * various other fixes/improvements." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "More patches for 3.12, busy times for Bluetooth. More than a 100 commits since the last pull. The bulk of work comes from Johan and Marcel, they are doing fixes and improvements all over the Bluetooth subsystem, as the diffstat can show." For the ath10k and ath6kl bits, Kalle says: "Bartosz added support to ath10k for our 10.x AP firmware branch, which gives us AP specific features and fixes. We still support the main firmware branch as well just like before, ath10k detects runtime what firmware is used. Unfortunately the firmware interface in 10.x branch is somewhat different so there was quite a lot of changes in ath10k for this. Michal and Sujith did some performance improvements in ath10k. Vladimir fixed a compiler warning and Fengguang removed an extra semicolon." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "It's a fairly big one, with the following highlights: - NFC digital layer implementation: Most NFC chipsets implement the NFC digital layer in firmware, but others have more basic functionalities and expect the host to implement the digital layer. This layer sits below the NFC core. - Sony's port100 support: This is "soft" NFC USB dongle that expects the digital layer to be implemented on the host. This is the first user of our NFC digital stack implementation. - Secure element API: We now provide a netlink API for enabling, disabling and discovering NFC attached (embedded or UICC ones) secure elements. With some userspace help, this allows us to support NFC payments. Only the pn544 driver currently supports that API. - NCI SPI fixes and improvements: In order to support NCI devices over SPI, we fixed and improved our NCI/SPI implementation. The currently most deployed NFC NCI chipset, Broadcom's bcm2079x, supports that mode and we're planning to use our NCI/SPI framework to implement a driver for it. - pn533 fragmentation support in target mode: This was the only missing feature from our pn533 impementation. We now support fragmentation in both Tx and Rx modes, in target mode." On top of all that, brcmfmac and rt2x00 both get the usual flurry of updates. A few other drivers get hit here or there as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-11-04tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow startYuchung Cheng
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default.

The problem is that on a few architectures, csum_partial is used with prefix asmlinkage whereas on most architectures it's not. So fix this up generically as we did with csum_block_add_ext() to match the signature. Introduced by 2817a336d4d ("net: skb_checksum: allow custom update/combine for walking skb").

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h drivers/net/netconsole.c net/bridge/br_private.h Three mostly trivial conflicts. The net/bridge/br_private.h conflict was a function signature (argument addition) change overlapping with the extern removals from Joe Perches. In drivers/net/netconsole.c we had one change adjusting a printk message whilst another changed "printk(KERN_INFO" into "pr_info(". Lastly, the emulex change was a new inline function addition overlapping with Joe Perches's extern removals. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-03net: sctp: fix and consolidate SCTP checksumming codeDaniel Borkmann
This fixes an outstanding bug found through IPVS, where SCTP packets with skb->data_len > 0 (non-linearized) and empty frag_list, but data accumulated in frags[] member, are forwarded with incorrect checksum letting SCTP initial handshake fail on some systems. Linearizing each SCTP skb in IPVS to prevent that would not be a good solution as this leads to an additional and unnecessary performance penalty on the load-balancer itself for no good reason (as we actually only want to update the checksum, and can do that in a different/better way presented here). The actual problem is elsewhere, namely, that SCTP's checksumming in sctp_compute_cksum() does not take frags[] into account like skb_checksum() does. So while we are fixing this up, we better reuse the existing code that we have anyway in __skb_checksum() and use it for walking through the data doing checksumming. This will not only fix this issue, but also consolidates some SCTP code with core sk_buff code, bringing it closer together and removing respectively avoiding reimplementation of skb_checksum() for no good reason. As crc32c() can use hardware implementation within the crypto layer, we leave that intact (it wraps around / falls back to e.g. slice-by-8 algorithm in __crc32c_le() otherwise); plus use the __crc32c_le_combine() combinator for crc32c blocks. Also, we remove all other SCTP checksumming code, so that we only have to use sctp_compute_cksum() from now on; for doing that, we need to transform SCTP checkumming in output path slightly, and can leave the rest intact.

2013-11-03net: skb_checksum: allow custom update/combine for walking skbDaniel Borkmann
Currently, skb_checksum walks over 1) linearized, 2) frags[], and 3) frag_list data and calculats the one's complement, a 32 bit result suitable for feeding into itself or csum_tcpudp_magic(), but unsuitable for SCTP as we're calculating CRC32c there. Hence, in order to not re-implement the very same function in SCTP (and maybe other protocols) over and over again, use an update() + combine() callback internally to allow for walking over the skb with different algorithms.

2013-10-28nl80211/cfg80211: enable DFS for IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich
To use DFS in IBSS mode, userspace is required to react to radar events. It can inform nl80211 that it is capable of doing so by adding a NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS attribute when joining the IBSS. This attribute is supplied to let the kernelspace know that the userspace application can and will handle radar events, e.g. by intiating channel switches to a valid channel. DFS channels may only be used if this attribute is supplied and the driver supports it. Driver support will be checked even if a channel without DFS will be initially joined, as a DFS channel may be chosen later.

2013-10-25ipv6: reset dst.expires value when clearing expire flagHannes Frederic Sowa
On receiving a packet too big icmp error we update the expire value by calling rt6_update_expires. This function uses dst_set_expires which is implemented that it can only reduce the expiration value of the dst entry. If we insert new routing non-expiry information into the ipv6 fib where we already have a matching rt6_info we only clear the RTF_EXPIRES flag in rt6i_flags and leave the dst.expires value as is. When new mtu information arrives for that cached dst_entry we again call dst_set_expires. This time it won't update the dst.expire value because we left the dst.expire value intact from the last update. So dst_set_expires won't touch dst.expires. Fix this by resetting dst.expires when clearing the RTF_EXPIRE flag. dst_set_expires checks for a zero expiration and updates the dst.expires. In the past this (not updating dst.expires) was necessary because dst.expire was placed in a union with the dst_entry *from reference and rt6_clean_expires did assign NULL to it. This split happend in ecd9883724b78cc72ed92c98bcb1a46c764fff21 ("ipv6: fix race condition regarding dst->expires and dst->from"). Reported-by: Steinar H.
