2009-06-03net: introduce pre-up netdev notifierJohannes Berg
NETDEV_UP is called after the device is set UP, but sometimes it is useful to be able to veto the device UP. Introduce a new NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier that can be used for exactly this. The first use case will be cfg80211 denying interfaces to be set UP if the device is known to be rfkill'ed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-06-03mac80211: handle -EALREADY on cfg80211 op assoc reqLuis R. Rodriguez
When the SME requests to associate to an open AP ieee80211_sta_set_extra_ie() can be called with zero IE length. When this happens or when the extra IE has already been set -EALREADY is passed down and the supplicant will complain that the operation is already in progress and it will not let us associate. We correct this by treating -EALREADY from ieee80211_sta_set_extra_ie() as a success just as we do for wext. Cc: Shan.Palanisamy@Atheros.com Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-06-03cfg80211: disallow interfering with stations on non-AP (part 2)Johannes Berg
On non-AP interfaces userspace has no business interfering with the station management, this can confuse mac80211 (and other drivers probably wouldn't support it anyway). Allow adding and removing stations only on AP interfaces.

2009-06-03cfg80211: validate AID of stations being addedJohannes Berg
We have some validation code in mac80211 but said code will force an invalid AID to 0 which isn't a valid AID either; instead require a valid AID (1-2007) to be passed in from userspace in cfg80211 already. Also move the code before the race comment since it can only be executed during STA addition and thus is not racy. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-06-02net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel ↵Minoru Usui
panic when we use cls_cgroup This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup. When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized by classifier's init(), and chained. After it's chained, tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change(). When classifier's change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto. In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init(). It accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before change(), then hits Oops.

2009-06-02ipv4: New multicast-all socket optionNivedita Singhvi
After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier. This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL. In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this socket option.

2009-05-29net: convert unicast addr listJiri Pirko
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes). I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len. The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the change is not so trivial.

2009-05-29tcp: fix loop in ofo handling code and reduce its complexityIlpo Järvinen
Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d566 (tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are skbs after 'skb'. Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that 'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at head. Two things went wrong: - We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging to recover I think). - The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did. Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the previous-like version. The effective changes against the original can be viewed with: git-diff 915219441d566f1da0caa0e262be49b666159e17^ \ net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | sed -n -e '57,70 p' Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-05-28wimax: Add netlink interface to get device statePaulius Zaleckas
wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get notification whet state has changed. Note: By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API.

Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware header in skb->data with the rest in frags.
