2011-05-27net: Kill ratelimit.h dependency in linux/net.hDavid S. Miller
Ingo Molnar noticed that we have this unnecessary ratelimit.h dependency in linux/net.h, which hid compilation problems from people doing builds only with CONFIG_NET enabled. Move this stuff out to a seperate net/net_ratelimit.h file and include that in the only two places where this thing is needed. Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-27IPVS: bug in ip_vs_ftp, same list heaad used in all netns.Hans Schillstrom
When ip_vs was adapted to netns the ftp application was not adapted in a correct way. However this is a fix to avoid kernel errors. In the long term another solution might be chosen. I.e the ports that the ftp appl, uses should be per netns.

2011-05-19ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizesEric Dumazet
ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because they use percpu storage. needed size per device is : (512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2 On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool. Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t) Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.

2011-05-19cfg80211: Use consistent BSS matching between scan and smeJouni Malinen
cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss() calls. Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

2011-05-16cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinationsJohannes Berg
Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211. This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all). When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using the info should do if the kernel didn't export it). Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-05-13net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kindVasiliy Kulikov
This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind. It makes it possible to send ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages without any special privileges. In other words, the patch makes it possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping. In order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range (see below). Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X: http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/ A new ping socket is created with socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP) Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored. Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to: 1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by other means. 2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets. ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this, see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the checksum is always recomputed. ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications. IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue (IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in network order). socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range". It is "1 0" by default, meaning that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets. Setting it to "100 100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make /sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the "netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100 4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons. The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it) extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages (Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply etc.). Userspace ping util & patch for it: http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the setuid-less distro. A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels) is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs: http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/ Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public. All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with the patch. PATCH v3: - switched to flowi4. - minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code. PATCH v2: - changed ping_debug() to pr_debug(). - removed CONFIG_IP_PING. - removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs). - switched to proc_net_fops_create(). - switched to %pK in seq_printf(). PATCH v1: - fixed checksumming bug. - CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore. RFC v2: - minor cleanups. - introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).

2011-05-13bonding,llc: Fix structure sizeof incompatibility for some PDUsVitalii Demianets
With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results (such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this undesired behavior.

2011-05-12ipv6: restore correct ECN handling on TCP xmitSteinar H. Gunderson
Since commit e9df2e8fd8fbc9 (Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup) we lost ability to properly add ECN codemarks to ipv6 TCP frames. It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch, what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different field. Close bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34322 [Eric Dumazet] : added the INET_ECN_dontxmit() fix and replace macros by inline functions for clarity. Signed-off-by: Steinar H.

2011-05-12ipvs: Remove all remaining references to rt->rt_{src,dst}Julian Anastasov
Remove all remaining references to rt->rt_{src,dst} by using dest->dst_saddr to cache saddr (used for TUN mode). For ICMP in FORWARD hook just restrict the rt_mode for NAT to disable LOCALNODE. All other modes do not allow IP_VS_RT_MODE_RDR, so we should be safe with the ICMP forwarding. Using cp->daddr as replacement for rt_dst is safe for all modes except BYPASS, even when cp->dest is NULL because it is cp->daddr that is used to assign cp->dest for sync-ed connections.

2011-05-12garp: remove last synchronize_rcu() callEric Dumazet
When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct garp_applicant before we free it. Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle optimizations. Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when kfree_rcu() is available ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-05-12cfg80211/mac80211: avoid bounce back mac->cfg->mac on sched_scan_stoppedLuciano Coelho
When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag "driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not between mac80211 and cfg80211. To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling cfg80211. To help with locking issues, the workqueue was moved from cfg80211 to mac80211.

2011-05-12cfg80211: restrict AP beacon intervalsJohannes Berg
Multiple virtual AP interfaces can currently try to use different beacon intervals, but that just leads to problems since it won't actually be done that way by drivers. Return an error in this case to make sure it won't be done wrong. Also, ignore attempts to change the DTIM period or beacon interval during the lifetime of the BSS.
