2011-02-04bridge: Don't put partly initialized fdb into hashPavel Emelyanov
The fdb_create() puts a new fdb into hash with only addr set. This is not good, since there are callers, that search the hash w/o the lock and access all the other its fields. Applies to current netdev tree. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit 709b46e8d90badda1898caea50483c12af178e96 ("net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT") added the correct plumbing to handle SIOCGETSGCNT properly. However, whilst definiting a proper "struct compat_sioc_sg_req" it isn't actually used in ipmr_compat_ioctl(). Correct this oversight. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-02-01netfilter: ecache: always set events bits, filter them laterPablo Neira Ayuso
For the following rule: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -j CT --ctevents assured The event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Note that the TCP protocol state is not included. For that reason the CT event filtering is not very useful for conntrackd. To resolve this issue, instead of conditionally setting the CT events bits based on the ctmask, we always set them and perform the filtering in the late stage, just before the delivery. Thus, the event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 432000 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2011-01-31net: Fix ipv6 neighbour unregister_sysctl_table warningEric W. Biederman
In my testing of 2.6.37 I was occassionally getting a warning about sysctl table entries being unregistered in the wrong order. Digging in it turns out this dates back to the last great sysctl reorg done where Al Viro introduced the requirement that sysctl directories needed to be created before and destroyed after the files in them. It turns out that in that great reorg /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh was overlooked. So this patch fixes that oversight and makes an annoying warning message go away. >------------[ cut here ]------------ >WARNING: at kernel/sysctl.c:1992 unregister_sysctl_table+0x134/0x164() >Pid: 23951, comm: kworker/u:3 Not tainted 2.6.37-350888.2010AroraKernelBeta.fc14.x86_64 #1 >Call Trace: > [<ffffffff8103e034>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 > [<ffffffff8103e061>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17 > [<ffffffff810452f8>] unregister_sysctl_table+0x134/0x164 > [<ffffffff810e7834>] ? kfree+0xc4/0xd1 > [<ffffffff813439b2>] neigh_sysctl_unregister+0x22/0x3a > [<ffffffffa02cd14e>] addrconf_ifdown+0x33f/0x37b [ipv6] > [<ffffffff81331ec2>] ? skb_dequeue+0x5f/0x6b > [<ffffffffa02ce4a5>] addrconf_notify+0x69b/0x75c [ipv6] > [<ffffffffa02eb953>] ? ip6mr_device_event+0x98/0xa9 [ipv6] > [<ffffffff813d2413>] notifier_call_chain+0x32/0x5e > [<ffffffff8105bdea>] raw_notifier_call_chain+0xf/0x11 > [<ffffffff8133cdac>] call_netdevice_notifiers+0x45/0x4a > [<ffffffff8133d2b0>] rollback_registered_many+0x118/0x201 > [<ffffffff8133d3af>] unregister_netdevice_many+0x16/0x6d > [<ffffffff8133d571>] default_device_exit_batch+0xa4/0xb8 > [<ffffffff81337c42>] ? cleanup_net+0x0/0x194 > [<ffffffff81337a2a>] ops_exit_list+0x4e/0x56 > [<ffffffff81337d36>] cleanup_net+0xf4/0x194 > [<ffffffff81053318>] process_one_work+0x187/0x280 > [<ffffffff8105441b>] worker_thread+0xff/0x19f > [<ffffffff8105431c>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x19f > [<ffffffff8105776d>] kthread+0x7d/0x85 > [<ffffffff81003824>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 > [<ffffffff810576f0>] ? kthread+0x0/0x85 > [<ffffffff81003820>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 >---[ end trace 8a7e9310b35e9486 ]--- Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-01-31net: Add default_mtu() methods to blackhole dst_opsRoland Dreier
When an IPSEC SA is still being set up, __xfrm_lookup() will return -EREMOTE and so ip_route_output_flow() will return a blackhole route. This can happen in a sndmsg call, and after d33e455337ea ("net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.") this leads to a crash in ip_append_data() because the blackhole dst_ops have no default_mtu() method and so dst_mtu() calls a NULL pointer. Fix this by adding default_mtu() methods (that simply return 0, matching the old behavior) to the blackhole dst_ops. The IPv4 part of this patch fixes a crash that I saw when using an IPSEC VPN; the IPv6 part is untested because I don't have an IPv6 VPN, but it looks to be needed as well.

2011-01-30batman-adv: Make vis info stack traversal threadsafeSven Eckelmann
The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it. The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will be initiated without the lock which protects the stack. The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the current element in the list. The list may be modified during the unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer not pointing to correct next element. It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

2011-01-30net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNTEric W. Biederman
SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1, which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking ioctls is insufficient. A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict with: SIOCAX25ADDUID SIOCAIPXPRISLT SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6 SIOCGETSGCNT SIOCRSSCAUSE SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the the normal ioctl decode path. I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls. I have added a compat_ioctl function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket I am using. I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only works on raw sockets. I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal ipmr_ioctl. This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels. This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a 64bit kernel. Reported-by: Bill Fenner <fenner@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2011-01-29gro: Reset dev pointer on reuseHerbert Xu
On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping it and causing it to be reused by GRO. Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer. This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream kernel due to changes in VLAN processing. However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing.

2011-01-27ipv6: Remove route peer binding assertions.David S. Miller
They are bogus. The basic idea is that I wanted to make sure that prefixed routes never bind to peers. The test I used was whether RTF_CACHE was set. But first of all, the RTF_CACHE flag is set at different spots depending upon which ip6_rt_copy() caller you're talking about.

2011-01-25TCP: fix a bug that triggers large number of TCP RST by mistakeJerry Chu
This patch fixes a bug that causes TCP RST packets to be generated on otherwise correctly behaved applications, e.g., no unread data on close,..., etc. To trigger the bug, at least two conditions must be met: 1. The FIN flag is set on the last data packet, i.e., it's not on a separate, FIN only packet. 2. The size of the last data chunk on the receive side matches exactly with the size of buffer posted by the receiver, and the receiver closes the socket without any further read attempt. This bug was first noticed on our netperf based testbed for our IW10 proposal to IETF where a large number of RST packets were observed. netperf's read side code meets the condition 2 above 100%. Before the fix, tcp_data_queue() will queue the last skb that meets condition 1 to sk_receive_queue even though it has fully copied out (skb_copy_datagram_iovec()) the data. Then if condition 2 is also met, tcp_recvmsg() often returns all the copied out data successfully without actually consuming the skb, due to a check "if ((chunk = len - tp->ucopy.len) != 0) {" and "len -= chunk;" after tcp_prequeue_process() that causes "len" to become 0 and an early exit from the big while loop. I don't see any reason not to free the skb whose data have been fully consumed in tcp_data_queue(), regardless of the FIN flag. We won't get there if MSG_PEEK is on.

2011-01-24GRO: fix merging a paged skb after non-paged skbsMichal Schmidt
Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[]. Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb: ->data_len is not decreased at all. ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag. Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return -EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall. In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver decides to switch from the former to the latter. Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat: - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero - on machine1: echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages - See that nc has quit suddenly.

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.
