2009-03-24ipv6: Fix conflict resolutions during ipv6 bindingVlad Yasevich
The ipv6 version of bind_conflict code calls ipv6_rcv_saddr_equal() which at times wrongly identified intersections between addresses.

2009-03-16netfilter: use a linked list of loggersEric Leblond
This patch modifies nf_log to use a linked list of loggers for each protocol. This list of loggers is read and write protected with a mutex. This patch separates registration and binding. To be used as logging module, a module has to register calling nf_log_register() and to bind to a protocol it has to call nf_log_bind_pf(). This patch also converts the logging modules to the new API. For nfnetlink_log, it simply switchs call to register functions to call to bind function and adds a call to nf_log_register() during init. For other modules, it just remove a const flag from the logger structure and replace it with a __read_mostly.

2009-03-15tcp: make sure xmit goal size never becomes zeroIlpo Järvinen
It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted packets (must hit the max guard in tcp_bound_to_half_wnd()). It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero sized segments we would generate do though in write queue). Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.

2009-03-15tcp: cache result of earlier divides when mss-aligning thingsIlpo Järvinen
The results is very unlikely change every so often so we hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we detect that and do the right thing and again settle for non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.

2009-03-15tcp: simplify tcp_current_mssIlpo Järvinen
There's very little need for most of the callsites to get tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is, so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(), so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16 xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining divide to get that tso on regression).

2009-03-13ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verificationDenys Fedoryshchenko
Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927. Here is quote of important information: " An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. " But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227. " The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case where the address turns out to be already in use by another host. " When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip. Signed-off-by: Denys Fedoryshchenko <denys@visp.net.lb> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-11tcp: allow timestamps even if SYN packet has tsval=0Eric Dumazet
Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0]. It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml ) Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps and lose some benefit of RFC1323. Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-03netns: Fix icmp shutdown.Eric W. Biederman
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

The later check was a left-over from RFC3517 SACK stuff (== !tcp_is_fack(tp) behavior nowadays) as there wasn't clear way how to handle this particular check cheaply in the spirit of RFC3517 (using only SACK blocks, not holes + SACK blocks as with FACK). I sort of left it there as a reminder but since it's confusing other people just remove it and comment the missing-feature stuff instead.

It is possible that lost_cnt_hint gets underflow in tcp_clean_rtx_queue because the cumulative ACK can cover the segment where lost_skb_hint points to only partially, which means that the hint is not cleared, opposite to what my (earlier) comment claimed. Also I don't agree what I ended up writing about non-trivial case there to be what I intented to say. It was not supposed to happen that the hint won't get cleared and we underflow in any scenario.

2009-02-24netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logicPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.
