2014-03-27ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurelyMichal Kubeček
If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a new route for the same target with different metrics fails but rewrites the metrics anyway: 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1s 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500 RTNETLINK answers: File exists 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1.5s This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add() rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being used at all. Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear unexpectedly for a new route, e.g. 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer (even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that. v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa) v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to net-next as it is quite late in the cycle. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-27tipc: use node list lock to protect tipc_num_links variableYing Xue
Without properly implicit or explicit read memory barrier, it's unsafe to read an atomic variable with atomic_read() from another thread which is different with the thread of changing the atomic variable with atomic_inc() or atomic_dec(). So a stale tipc_num_links may be got with atomic_read() in tipc_node_get_links(). If the tipc_num_links variable type is converted from atomic to unsigned integer and node list lock is used to protect it, the issue would be avoided.

2014-03-27tipc: rename node create lock to protect node list and hlistYing Xue
When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and then node_create_lock is grabbed in order to prevent the same node from being created and inserted into both node list and hlist twice. But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing. Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be removed from the node query functions.

2014-03-27tipc: make broadcast bearer store in bearer_list arrayYing Xue
Now unicast bearer is dynamically allocated and placed into its identity specified slot of bearer_list array. When we search bearer_list array with a bearer identity, the corresponding bearer instance can be found. But broadcast bearer is statically allocated and it is not located in the bearer_list array yet. So we decide to enlarge bearer_list array into MAX_BEARERS + 1 slots, and its last slot stores the broadcast bearer so that the broadcast bearer can be found from bearer_list array with MAX_BEARERS as index. The change will help us reduce the complex relationship between bearer and link in the future.

2014-03-27tipc: acquire necessary locks in named_cluster_distribute routineYing Xue
The 'tipc_node_list' is guarded by tipc_net_lock and 'links' array defined in 'tipc_node' structure is protected by node lock as well. Without acquiring the two locks in named_cluster_distribute() a fatal oops may happen in case that a destroyed link might be got and then accessed. Therefore, above mentioned two locks must be held in named_cluster_distribute() to prevent the issue from happening accidentally. As 'links' array in node struct must be protected by node lock, we have to move the code of selecting an active link from tipc_link_xmit() to named_cluster_distribute() and then call __tipc_link_xmit() with the selected link to deliver name messages.

Due to the lacking of any credential, it's allowed to accept commands requested from remote nodes to query the local node status, which is prone to involve potential security risks. Instead, if we login to a remote node with ssh command, this approach is not only more safe than the remote management feature, but also it can give us more permissions like changing the remote node configuration.

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into 3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC time code." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new features." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have: - Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO 15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs. - Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags. - Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We now support both and use the right one depending on the version we detect at runtime. - Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer. - A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This led to hard-to-catch races." And... "I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git, this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git. Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily." Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix... For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by 100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some smaller fixes." Beyond that... Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima.

2014-03-22batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flagLinus Lüssing
With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too. Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise: MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers: ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------- {Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener} --------------- \ ^ ------- | br0 | < ??? ------- \ _-~---~_ _-~/ ~-_ ~ batman-adv \-----{Sender} \~_ cloud ~/ -~~__-__-~_/ I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier} -> br0 cannot detect the {Listener} => Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers. ----------------------------------------------------------- Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers, because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners. Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes IPv6 multicast packet, too. The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6 link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2 and section 3). Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to break compatibility later. Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will always receive these ranges.

2014-03-22batman-adv: remove obsolete skb_reset_mac_header() in batadv_bla_tx()Linus Lüssing
Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit present in kernels >= 3.9: "net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627) Therefore this commit removes the according, now redundant, skb_reset_mac_header() call in batadv_bla_tx().

2014-03-22batman-adv: use vlan_/eth_hdr() instead of skb->data in interface_tx pathLinus Lüssing
Our .ndo_start_xmit handler (batadv_interface_tx()) can rely on having the skb mac header pointer set correctly since the following commit present in kernels >= 3.9: "net: reset mac header in dev_start_xmit()" (6d1ccff627) Therefore we can safely use eth_hdr() and vlan_eth_hdr() instead of skb->data now, which spares us some ugly type casts. At the same time set the mac_header in batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_request() before sending the skb along the TX path.

Commit 812e44dd1829 ("ip6mr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl") reuses the function ip6mr_fill_mroute() to notify mfc events.

2014-03-20openvswitch: Correctly report flow used times for first 5 minutes after boot.Ben Pfaff
The kernel starts out its "jiffies" timer as 5 minutes below zero, as shown in include/linux/jiffies.h: /* * Have the 32 bit jiffies value wrap 5 minutes after boot * so jiffies wrap bugs show up earlier. */ #define INITIAL_JIFFIES ((unsigned long)(unsigned int) (-300*HZ)) The loop in ovs_flow_stats_get() starts out with 'used' set to 0, then takes any "later" time. This means that for the first five minutes after boot, flows will always be reported as never used, since 0 is greater than any time already seen.
