2012-08-20mac80211: clean up mpath_move_to_queue()Thomas Pedersen
Use skb_queue_walk_safe instead, and fix a few issues: - didn't free old skbs on moving - didn't react to failed skb alloc - needlessly held a local pointer to the destination frame queue - didn't check destination queue length before adding skb Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-08-20mac80211: use skb_queue_walk() in mesh_path_assign_nexthopThomas Pedersen

2012-08-20mac80211: avoid using synchronize_rcu in ieee80211_set_probe_respEyal Shapira
This could take a while (100ms+) and may delay sending assoc resp in AP mode with WPS or P2P GO (as setting the probe resp takes place there). We've encountered situations where the delay was big enough to cause connection problems with devices like Galaxy Nexus. Switch to using call_rcu with a free handler.

2012-08-03mac80211: skb leak in mesh_plink_frame_tx()Thomas Pedersen

2012-08-03mac80211: improve cleanup when leaving meshThomas Pedersen
It is not necessary to stop the mesh beacon in the mac80211 ndo_stop handler, since cfg80211 has already left the mesh on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN notification. Also some improvements to ieee80211_stop_mesh(): - flush mpath entries. - flush sta entries per-sdata so we don't remove entries belonging to other vifs on the same hw.

2012-07-31mac80211: use correct channel in TXJohannes Berg
Since we only need the band, remove the channel pointer from struct ieee80211_tx_data and also assign it properly, depending on context, to the correct operating or current channel. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: fix current vs. operating channel in preq/beaconJohannes Berg
When sending probe requests, e.g. during software scanning, these will go out on the *current* channel, so their IEs need to be built from the current channel. At other times, e.g. for beacons or probe request templates, the IEs will be used on the *operating* channel and using the current channel instead might result in errors. Add the appropriate parameters to respect the difference. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: use oper_channel in utils and configJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: set channel only once during auth/assocJohannes Berg
There's no need to set up the channel during auth and again during assoc, just do it once. Currently this doesn't result in any changes since calling hw_config() with an unchanged channel will return early, but with the channel context work this has an impact on channel context assignment.

2012-07-31mac80211: rename sta to new_staJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: supress HT/VHT disable if not supportedJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: add PS flag to bss_confEliad Peller
Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense. Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability to indicate ps change along with other changes (e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while the sta is already disconnected.) Keep the current per-device notifications, and add parallel per-vif notifications. In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps configuration is determined only by the user configuration (enable/disable) and the connection state, and is not affected by other vifs state and (temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations (unlike per-device ps).

2012-07-31mac80211: don't call mgd_prepare_tx when associatedEmmanuel Grumbach
This doesn't make any sense since we are expected to be on the medium or at least to Tx only when we are on the right channel and the AP/GO can hear us.

2012-07-31mac80211: don't react to beacon loss if HW monitoringJohannes Berg
If the HW is monitoring connection loss (as advertised by IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR) but not filtering beacons (IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER) then mac80211 will still start the beacon loss timer and if a few beacons are lost, e.g. due to scanning, drop the connection. If the hardware doesn't advertise connection monitoring, then it won't drop the connection right away but probe the AP, which is intended, but due to the logic in the timer when connection monitoring is done it assumes the connection was actually lost. Fix this problem by not starting the timer when the HW does connection monitoring. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Pull networking changes from David S Miller: 1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB trie and use prebuilt routes cached there. No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance, no matter what the pattern of traffic we service. This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who have helped along the way. I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to fix things :-) The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description of the motivations and implementation issues. 2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on input. 3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao Feng. 5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from Yuval Mintz. 6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with embedded gotos. 10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels, this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels. From Eric Dumazet. 11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments, from Alexander Duyck. 12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from Eric Dumazet. 13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up fastopen data. 14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S.

2012-07-23ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding.David S. Miller
Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of cached RX dst in inet sock. rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively. When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will be set to zero. This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4 specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6 input paths yet. Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check callback. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro: "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there: - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open intents. The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing everything via its fields. Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0 on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink found on server, etc.). See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile: ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag. With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle, declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c itself. [me, miklos, hch] - The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep in call stack. That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there. Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore. There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace. For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there might be more. There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last cycle] - sync series from Jan - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand, those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread calling it. - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells). - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual. This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes, so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.

2012-07-23rds: set correct msg_namelenWeiping Pan
Jay Fenlason (fenlason@redhat.com) found a bug, that recvfrom() on an RDS socket can return the contents of random kernel memory to userspace if it was called with a address length larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_in). rds_recvmsg() also fails to set the addr_len paramater properly before returning, but that's just a bug. There are also a number of cases wher recvfrom() can return an entirely bogus address. Anything in rds_recvmsg() that returns a non-negative value but does not go through the "sin = (struct sockaddr_in *)msg->msg_name;" code path at the end of the while(1) loop will return up to 128 bytes of kernel memory to userspace. And I write two test programs to reproduce this bug, you will see that in rds_server, fromAddr will be overwritten and the following sock_fd will be destroyed. Yes, it is the programmer's fault to set msg_namelen incorrectly, but it is better to make the kernel copy the real length of address to user space in such case. How to run the test programs ? I test them on 32bit x86 system, 3.5.0-rc7. 1 compile gcc -o rds_client rds_client.c gcc -o rds_server rds_server.c 2 run ./rds_server on one console 3 run ./rds_client on another console 4 you will see something like: server is waiting to receive data... old socket fd=3 server received data from client:data from client msg.msg_namelen=32 new socket fd=-1067277685 sendmsg() : Bad file descriptor /***************** rds_client.c ********************/ int main(void) { int sock_fd; struct sockaddr_in serverAddr; struct sockaddr_in toAddr; char recvBuffer[128] = "data from client"; struct msghdr msg; struct iovec iov; sock_fd = socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); if (sock_fd < 0) { perror("create socket error\n"); exit(1); } memset(&serverAddr, 0, sizeof(serverAddr)); serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; serverAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); serverAddr.sin_port = htons(4001); if (bind(sock_fd, (struct sockaddr*)&serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) < 0) { perror("bind() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } memset(&toAddr, 0, sizeof(toAddr)); toAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; toAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); toAddr.sin_port = htons(4000); msg.msg_name = &toAddr; msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(toAddr); msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_iov->iov_base = recvBuffer; msg.msg_iov->iov_len = strlen(recvBuffer) + 1; msg.msg_control = 0; msg.msg_controllen = 0; msg.msg_flags = 0; if (sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("sendto() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("client send data:%s\n", recvBuffer); memset(recvBuffer, '\0', 128); msg.msg_name = &toAddr; msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(toAddr); msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_iov->iov_base = recvBuffer; msg.msg_iov->iov_len = 128; msg.msg_control = 0; msg.msg_controllen = 0; msg.msg_flags = 0; if (recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("recvmsg() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("receive data from server:%s\n", recvBuffer); close(sock_fd); return 0; } /***************** rds_server.c ********************/ int main(void) { struct sockaddr_in fromAddr; int sock_fd; struct sockaddr_in serverAddr; unsigned int addrLen; char recvBuffer[128]; struct msghdr msg; struct iovec iov; sock_fd = socket(AF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); if(sock_fd < 0) { perror("create socket error\n"); exit(0); } memset(&serverAddr, 0, sizeof(serverAddr)); serverAddr.sin_family = AF_INET; serverAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); serverAddr.sin_port = htons(4000); if (bind(sock_fd, (struct sockaddr*)&serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) < 0) { perror("bind error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("server is waiting to receive data...\n"); msg.msg_name = &fromAddr; /* * I add 16 to sizeof(fromAddr), ie 32, * and pay attention to the definition of fromAddr, * recvmsg() will overwrite sock_fd, * since kernel will copy 32 bytes to userspace. * * If you just use sizeof(fromAddr), it works fine. * */ msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(fromAddr) + 16; /* msg.msg_namelen = sizeof(fromAddr); */ msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_iov->iov_base = recvBuffer; msg.msg_iov->iov_len = 128; msg.msg_control = 0; msg.msg_controllen = 0; msg.msg_flags = 0; while (1) { printf("old socket fd=%d\n", sock_fd); if (recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("recvmsg() error\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } printf("server received data from client:%s\n", recvBuffer); printf("msg.msg_namelen=%d\n", msg.msg_namelen); printf("new socket fd=%d\n", sock_fd); strcat(recvBuffer, "--data from server"); if (sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) == -1) { perror("sendmsg()\n"); close(sock_fd); exit(1); } } close(sock_fd); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Weiping Pan <wpan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-23openvswitch: potential NULL deref in sample()Dan Carpenter
If there is no OVS_SAMPLE_ATTR_ACTIONS set then "acts_list" is NULL and it leads to a NULL dereference when we call nla_len(acts_list). This is a static checker fix, not something I have seen in testing. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-23tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indicationsEric Dumazet
ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit) One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu)); We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e6 (ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag). Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp sessions paid a too big latency increase price. This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay is added in TCP transmits.
