2010-05-23net-2.6 : V2 - fix dev_get_valid_nameDaniel Lezcano
the commit: commit d90310243fd750240755e217c5faa13e24f41536 Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Date: Wed Nov 18 02:36:59 2009 +0000 net: device name allocation cleanups introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce and appears rarely. The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to __dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.

Commit c02db8c6290bb992442fec1407643c94cc414375: Author: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Date: Sun May 16 01:05:45 2010 -0700 Subject: rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric adds broken error handling to do_setlink() in net/core/rtnetlink.c. The problem is the following chunk of code: if (tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST]) { struct nlattr *attr; int rem; nla_for_each_nested(attr, tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST], rem) { if (nla_type(attr) != IFLA_VF_INFO) ----> goto errout; err = do_setvfinfo(dev, attr); if (err < 0) goto errout; modified = 1; } } which can get to errout without setting err, resulting in the following error: net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setlink': net/core/rtnetlink.c:904: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function Change the code to return -EINVAL in this case.

2010-05-21net: fix problem in dequeuing from input_pkt_queueTom Herbert
Fix some issues introduced in batch skb dequeuing for input_pkt_queue. The primary issue it that the queue head must be incremented only after a packet has been processed, that is only after __netif_receive_skb has been called. This is needed for the mechanism to prevent OOO packet in RFS. Also when flushing the input_pkt_queue and process_queue, the process queue should be done first to prevent OOO packets. Because the input_pkt_queue has been effectively split into two queues, the calculation of the tail ptr is no longer correct. The correct value would be head+input_pkt_queue->len+process_queue->len. To avoid this calculation we added an explict input_queue_tail in softnet_data. The tail value is simply incremented when queuing to input_pkt_queue.

2010-05-17net: Add netlink support for virtual port management (was iovnl)Scott Feldman
Add new netdev ops ndo_{set|get}_vf_port to allow setting of port-profile on a netdev interface. Extends netlink socket RTM_SETLINK/ RTM_GETLINK with two new sub msgs called IFLA_VF_PORTS and IFLA_PORT_SELF (added to end of IFLA_cmd list). These are both nested atrtibutes using this layout: [IFLA_NUM_VF] [IFLA_VF_PORTS] [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... [IFLA_VF_PORT] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... ... [IFLA_PORT_SELF] [IFLA_PORT_*], ... These attributes are design to be set and get symmetrically. VF_PORTS is a list of VF_PORTs, one for each VF, when dealing with an SR-IOV device. PORT_SELF is for the PF of the SR-IOV device, in case it wants to also have a port-profile, or for the case where the VF==PF, like in enic patch 2/2 of this patch set. A port-profile is used to configure/enable the external switch virtual port backing the netdev interface, not to configure the host-facing side of the netdev. A port-profile is an identifier known to the switch. How port- profiles are installed on the switch or how available port-profiles are made know to the host is outside the scope of this patch. There are two types of port-profiles specs in the netlink msg. The first spec is for 802.1Qbg (pre-)standard, VDP protocol. The second spec is for devices that run a similar protocol as VDP but in firmware, thus hiding the protocol details. In either case, the specs have much in common and makes sense to define the netlink msg as the union of the two specs. For example, both specs have a notition of associating/deassociating a port-profile. And both specs require some information from the hypervisor manager, such as client port instance ID. The general flow is the port-profile is applied to a host netdev interface using RTM_SETLINK, the receiver of the RTM_SETLINK msg communicates with the switch, and the switch virtual port backing the host netdev interface is configured/enabled based on the settings defined by the port-profile. What those settings comprise, and how those settings are managed is again outside the scope of this patch, since this patch only deals with the first step in the flow.

Commit 33ad798c924b4a (tcp: options clean up) introduced a problem if MD5+SACK+timestamps were used in initial SYN message. Some stacks (old linux for example) try to negotiate MD5+SACK+TSTAMP sessions, but since 40 bytes of tcp options space are not enough to store all the bits needed, we chose to disable timestamps in this case. We send a SYN-ACK _without_ timestamp option, but socket has timestamps enabled and all further outgoing messages contain a TS block, all with the initial timestamp of the remote peer. Fix is to really disable timestamps option for the whole session. Reported-by: Bijay Singh <Bijay.Singh@guavus.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb. (with lockdep check) skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted. skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb is queued and not anymore RCU protected.

2010-05-17ipv6 addrlabel: permit deletion of labels assigned to removed devFlorian Westphal
as addrlabels with an interface index are left alone when the interface gets removed this results in addrlabels that can no longer be removed. Restrict validation of index to adding new addrlabels. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-05-17sunrpc: Include missing smp_lock.hFrederic Weisbecker
Now that cache_ioctl_procfs() calls the bkl explicitly, we need to include the relevant header as well. This fixes the following build error: net/sunrpc/cache.c: In function 'cache_ioctl_procfs': net/sunrpc/cache.c:1355: error: implicit declaration of function 'lock_kernel' net/sunrpc/cache.c:1359: error: implicit declaration of function 'unlock_kernel' Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
2010-05-17procfs: Push down the bkl from ioctlFrederic Weisbecker
Push down the bkl from procfs's ioctl main handler to its users. Only three procfs users implement an ioctl (non unlocked) handler. Turn them into unlocked_ioctl and push down the Devil inside. v2: PDE(inode)->data doesn't need to be under bkl v3: And don't forget to git-add the result v4: Use wrappers to pushdown instead of an invasive and error prone handlers surgery.
