2010-01-26tcp_probe: avoid modulus operation and wrap fixStephen Hemminger1-9/+10
By rounding up the buffer size to power of 2, several expensive modulus operations can be avoided. This patch also solves a bug where the gap need when ring gets full was not being accounted for.

2010-01-25netns xfrm: deal with dst entries in netnsAlexey Dobriyan3-20/+78
GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net. Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns. This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste (AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns. Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering XFRM policies.

2010-01-19dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slubNeil Horman2-13/+7
Hey all- I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module. The bug halt occured because the page that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub implementation of kfree. I tracked the problem down to the following set of events: 1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string dynamically when registering a slab cache. This allocated string is freed when the cache is destroyed. 2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that caches are 'merged'. This process causes multiple caches of simmilar configuration to use the same cache data structure. When this happens, the new name of the cache is effectively dropped. 3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e. ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is returned. 4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer, which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table section. So, what to do about this. At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug. Unfortunately, theres no really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details to the generic slab interface. Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly, I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not only in slub, but in every slab allocator. As such, I'd like to propose this solution. Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the ccid_operations structure. In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all other calls to kmem_cache_create do. I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-01-18mac80211: fix sign error in pid controllerBob Copeland1-1/+1
While testing the pid rate controller in mac80211_hwsim, I noticed that once the controller reached 54 Mbit rates, it would fail to lower the rate when necessary. The debug log shows: 1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50 My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of (14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or 3534. Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction.

2010-01-15dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probeNeil Horman1-1/+2
This was just recently reported to me. When built as modules, the dccp_probe module has a silent dependency on the dccp module. This stems from the fact that the module_init routine of dccp_probe registers a jprobe on the dccp_sendmsg symbol. Since the symbol is only referenced as a text string (the .symbol_name field in the jprobe struct) rather than the address of the symbol itself, depmod never picks this dependency up, and so if you load the dccp_probe module without the dccp module loaded, the register_jprobe call fails with an -EINVAL, and the whole module load fails. The fix is pretty easy, we can just wrap the register_jprobe call in a try_then_request_module call, which forces the dependency to get satisfied prior to the probe registration.

2010-01-14ipv6: skb_dst() can be NULL in ipv6_hop_jumbo().David S. Miller1-1/+6
This fixes CERT-FI FICORA #341748 Discovered by Olli Jarva and Tuomo Untinen from the CROSS project at Codenomicon Ltd. Just like in CVE-2007-4567, we can't rely upon skb_dst() being non-NULL at this point. We fixed that in commit e76b2b2567b83448c2ee85a896433b96150c92e6 ("[IPV6]: Do no rely on skb->dst before it is assigned.") However commit 483a47d2fe794328d29950fe00ce26dd405d9437 ("ipv6: added net argument to IP6_INC_STATS_BH") put a new version of the same bug into this function. Complicating analysis further, this bug can only trigger when network namespaces are enabled in the build. When namespaces are turned off, the dev_net() does not evaluate it's argument, so the dereference would not occur. So, for a long time, namespaces couldn't be turned on unless SYSFS was disabled. Therefore, this code has largely been disabled except by people turning it on explicitly for namespace development. With help from Eugene Teo <eugene@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When ieee80211_monitor_select_queue encounters data frames, it selects the WMM AC based on skb->priority and assumes that skb->priority contains a valid 802.1d tag. However this assumption is incorrect, since ieee80211_select_queue has not been called at this point. If skb->priority > 7, an array overrun occurs, which could lead to invalid values, resulting in crashes in the tx path.

When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families (i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled. The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket (e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part). setsockopt sets the inner family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

Since I removed the master netdev, we've been keeping internal queues only, and even before that we never told the networking stack above the virtual interfaces about congestion. This means that packets are queued in mac80211 and the upper layers never know, possibly leading to memory exhaustion and other problems. This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding queues for the virtual interfaces as well. The injection case will use VO by default for non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

The ipvs code has a nifty system for doing the size of ioctl command copies; it defines an array with values into which it indexes the cmd to find the right length. Unfortunately, the ipvs code forgot to check if the cmd was in the range that the array provides, allowing for an index outside of the array, which then gives a "garbage" result into the length, which then gets used for copying into a stack buffer.

2009-12-29mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurationsLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+12
mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

2009-12-29mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_workLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+4
When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked. If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable upon resume. Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the beginning of suspend cycle. The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch. For further details see refer to the thread: http://marc.info/?t=126144866100001&r=1&w=2 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix ibss join with fixed-bssidFelix Fietkau1-0/+4
When fixed bssid is requested when joining an ibss network, incoming beacons that match the configured bssid cause mac80211 to create new sta entries, even before the ibss interface is in joined state. When that happens, it fails to bring up the interface entirely, because it checks for existing sta entries before joining. This patch fixes this bug by refusing to create sta info entries before the interface is fully operational. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-12-26net: restore ip source validationJamal Hadi Salim2-0/+3
when using policy routing and the skb mark: there are cases where a back path validation requires us to use a different routing table for src ip validation than the one used for mapping ingress dst ip. One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be the destination system and therefore the local table is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would be used on outbound. Make the default behavior to allow the above and if users need to turn on the symmetry via sysctl src_valid_mark Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.
