2010-11-30mac80211: Fix STA disconnect due to MIC failureSenthil Balasubramanian
Th commit titled "mac80211: clean up rx handling wrt. found_sta" removed found_sta variable which caused a MIC failure event to be reported twice for a single failure to supplicant resulted in STA disconnect. This should fix WPA specific countermeasures WiFi test case (5.2.17) issues with mac80211 based drivers which report MIC failure events in rx status.

2010-11-30mac80211: ignore non-bcast mcast deauth/disassoc franesChristian Lamparter
This patch fixes an curious issue due to insufficient rx frame filtering. Saqeb Akhter reported frequent disconnects while streaming videos over samba: <http://marc.info/?m=128600031109136> > [ 1166.512087] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7) > [ 1526.059997] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7) > [ 2125.324356] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7) > [...] The reason is that the device generates frames with slightly bogus SA/TA addresses. e.g.: [ 2314.402316] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff [ 2314.402321] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff [ 2352.453804] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff [ 2352.453808] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff ^^ the group-address flag is set! (the correct SA/TA would be: 00:1f:31:f8:64:ff) Since the AP does not know from where the frames come, it generates a DEAUTH response for the (invalid) mcast address. This mcast deauth frame then passes through all filters and tricks the stack into thinking that the AP brutally kicked us! This patch fixes the problem by simply ignoring non-broadcast, group-addressed deauth/disassoc frames.

2010-11-29mac80211: fix RX aggregation lockingJohannes Berg
The RX aggregation locking documentation was wrong, which led Christian to also code the timer timeout handling for it somewhat wrongly. Fix the documentation, the two places that need to hold the reorder lock across accesses to the structure, and the debugfs code that should just use RCU. Also, remove acquiring the sta->lock across reorder timeouts since it isn't necessary, and change a few places to GFP_KERNEL because the code path here doesn't need atomic allocations as I noticed when reviewing all this.

2010-11-29nl80211/cfg80211: extend mgmt-tx API for off-channelJohannes Berg
With p2p, it is sometimes necessary to transmit a frame (typically an action frame) on another channel than the current channel. Enable this through the CMD_FRAME API, and allow it to wait for a response. A new command allows that wait to be aborted. However, allow userspace to specify whether or not it wants to allow off-channel TX, it may actually want to use the same channel only.

2010-11-29mac80211: Fix frame injection using non-AP vifJouni Malinen
In order for frame injection to work properly for some use cases (e.g., finding the station entry and keys for encryption), mac80211 needs to find the correct sdata entry. This works when the main vif is in AP mode, but commit a2c1e3dad516618cb0fbfb1a62c36d0b0744573a broke this particular use case for station main vif. While this type of injection is quite unusual operation, it has some uses and we should fix it. Do this by changing the monitor vif sdata selection to allow station vif to be selected instead of limiting it to just AP vifs. We still need to skip some iftypes to avoid selecting unsuitable vif for injection. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-11-29af_unix: limit recursion levelEric Dumazet
Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others. lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8 This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a recursion limit. Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files), since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue sizes only. Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels. Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared when socket receive queue is emptied. Reported-by: Марк Коренберг <socketpair@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-11-28inet: Fix __inet_inherit_port() to correctly increment bsockets and num_ownersNagendra Tomar
inet sockets corresponding to passive connections are added to the bind hash using ___inet_inherit_port(). These sockets are later removed from the bind hash using __inet_put_port(). These two functions are not exactly symmetrical. __inet_put_port() decrements hashinfo->bsockets and tb->num_owners, whereas ___inet_inherit_port() does not increment them. This results in both of these going to -ve values. This patch fixes this by calling inet_bind_hash() from ___inet_inherit_port(), which does the right thing.

2010-11-27rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomicThomas Graf
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already leaving the link behind in a undefined state. This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to commit the changes later. This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the validation function method will not be able to detect all error scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex and thus may change between validation and setting. Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and config blocks for address families which did not register a set function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without notifying the user.

2010-11-24xps: Transmit Packet SteeringTom Herbert
This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue devices. XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based on configuration. This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the packet to a queue. This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion steering). Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will use the queue to send packets. This is configured as a CPU mask on a per queue basis in: /sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that maps CPUs to queues. In the netdevice structure this is an array of num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use. The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data structures. Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back to the socket on free (e.g. UDP). The benefits of XPS are dependent on cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors. XPS would nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that each CPU has it's own queue. Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of this patch. The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp. bnx2x on 16 core AMD XPS (16 queues, 1 TX queue per CPU) 1234K at 100% CPU No XPS (16 queues) 996K at 100% CPU Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-11-24xps: Improvements in TX queue selectionTom Herbert
In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue index or setting the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue. This allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel. We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed. To maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been added to the sk_buff structure. If a transport layer sets this flag on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket. Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight for the socket).

Lower SCM_MAX_FD from 255 to 253 so that allocations for scm_fp_list are halved. (commit f8d570a4 added two pointers in this structure) scm_fp_dup() should not copy whole structure (and trigger kmemcheck warnings), but only the used part. While we are at it, only allocate needed size. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
