2008-10-01ipv6: NULL pointer dereferrence in tcp_v6_send_ackDenis V. Lunev
The following actions are possible: tcp_v6_rcv skb->dev = NULL; tcp_v6_do_rcv tcp_v6_hnd_req tcp_check_req req->rsk_ops->send_ack == tcp_v6_send_ack So, skb->dev can be NULL in tcp_v6_send_ack. We must obtain namespace from dst entry. Thanks to Vitaliy Gusev <vgusev@openvz.org> for initial problem finding in IPv4 code. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-09-29SUNRPC: Clean up debug messages in rpcb_clnt.cChuck Lever
The RPCB XDR functions are used for multiple procedures. For instance, rpcb_encode_getaddr() is used for RPCB_GETADDR, RPCB_SET, and RPCB_UNSET. Make the XDR debug messages more generic so they are less confusing. And, unlike in other RPC consumers in the kernel, a single debug flag enables all levels of debug messages in the RPC bind client, including XDR debug messages. Since the XDR decoders already report success or failure in this case, remove redundant debug messages in the mid-level rpcb_register_call() function.

2008-09-29SUNRPC: Fix up svc_unregister()Chuck Lever
With the new rpcbind code, a PMAP_UNSET will not have any effect on services registered via rpcbind v3 or v4. Implement a version of svc_unregister() that uses an RPCB_UNSET with an empty netid string to make sure we have cleared *all* entries for a kernel RPC service when shutting down, or before starting a fresh instance of the service. Use the new version only when CONFIG_SUNRPC_REGISTER_V4 is enabled; otherwise, the legacy PMAP version is used to ensure complete backwards-compatibility with the Linux portmapper daemon.

Without this patch, rpcbind will advertise: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000.x.y This is cosmetic only. It cleans up the display of information from /sbin/rpcinfo.

2008-09-29SUNRPC: Register both netids for AF_INET6 serversChuck Lever
TI-RPC is a user-space library of RPC functions that replaces ONC RPC and allows RPC to operate in the new world of IPv6. TI-RPC combines the concept of a transport protocol (UDP and TCP) and a protocol family (PF_INET and PF_INET6) into a single identifier called a "netid." For example, "udp" means UDP over IPv4, and "udp6" means UDP over IPv6. For rpcbind, then, the RPC service tuple that is registered and advertised is: [RPC program, RPC version, service address and port, netid] instead of [RPC program, RPC version, port, protocol] Service address is typically ANYADDR, but can be a specific address of one of the interfaces on a multi-homed host. The third item in the new tuple is expressed as a universal address. The current Linux rpcbind implementation registers a netid for both protocol families when RPCB_SET is done for just the PF_INET6 version of the netid (ie udp6 or tcp6). So registering "udp6" causes a registration for "udp" to appear automatically as well. We've recently determined that this is incorrect behavior. In the TI-RPC world, "udp6" is not meant to imply that the registered RPC service handles requests from AF_INET as well, even if the listener socket does address mapping. "udp" and "udp6" are entirely separate capabilities, and must be registered separately. The Linux kernel, unlike TI-RPC, leverages address mapping to allow a single listener socket to handle requests for both AF_INET and AF_INET6. This is still OK, but the kernel currently assumes registering "udp6" will cover "udp" as well. It registers only "udp6" for it's AF_INET6 services, even though they handle both AF_INET and AF_INET6 on the same port. So svc_register() actually needs to register both "udp" and "udp6" explicitly (and likewise for TCP). Until rpcbind is fixed, the kernel can ignore the return code for the second RPCB_SET call.

2008-09-29SUNRPC: Support IPv6 when registering kernel RPC servicesChuck Lever
In order to advertise NFS-related services on IPv6 interfaces via rpcbind, the kernel RPC server implementation must use rpcb_v4_register() instead of rpcb_register(). A new kernel build option allows distributions to use the legacy v2 call until they integrate an appropriate user-space rpcbind daemon that can support IPv6 RPC services. I tried adding some automatic logic to fall back if registering with a v4 protocol request failed, but there are too many corner cases. So I just made it a compile-time switch that distributions can throw when they've replaced portmapper with rpcbind. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2008-09-29SUNRPC: Simplify rpcb_register() APIChuck Lever
Bruce suggested there's no need to expose the difference between an error sending the PMAP_SET request and an error reply from the portmapper to rpcb_register's callers. The user space equivalent of rpcb_register() is pmap_set(3), which returns a bool_t : either the PMAP set worked, or it didn't. Simple. So let's remove the "*okay" argument from rpcb_register() and rpcb_v4_register(), and simply return an error if any part of the call didn't work.

2008-09-29SUNRPC: Set V6ONLY socket option for RPC listener socketsChuck Lever
My plan is to use an AF_INET listener on systems that support only IPv4, and an AF_INET6 listener on systems that can support IPv6. Incoming IPv4 packets will be posted to an AF_INET6 listener with a mapped IPv4 address. Max Matveev <makc@sgi.com> says: Creating a single listener can be dangerous - if net.ipv6.bindv6only is enabled then it's possible to create another listener in v4 namespace on the same port and steal the traffic from the "unifed" listener. You need to disable V6ONLY explicitly via a sockopt to stop that. Set appropriate socket option on RPC server listener sockets to prevent this.

2008-09-249p-trans_fd: fix trans_fd::p9_conn_destroy()Tejun Heo
p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling p9_conn_cancel(), then waits for the request list to be cleared by waiting on p9_conn->equeue. After that, polling is stopped and the trans is destroyed. This sequence has a few problems. * Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them. * The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or without the wait. This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.

2008-09-24mac80211: fix led behavior in IBSSEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch fixes the led behavior in IBSS. After we joined an IBSS cell we need to inform the led that we got associated. Although there is no 802.11 association in IBSS mode, the semantic of "There is a link" is relevant. This allows the led to blink in IBSS mode (at least this solves a bug for iwlwifi).

2008-09-24mac80211: clean up rate control APIJohannes Berg
Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of net/mac80211/. There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking, we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control algorithm or via new API. Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-24mac80211: fix mesh action frame handlingJohannes Berg
When I split off the action frame handling I made the code drop all action frames we don't want to handle. This is wrong since some action frames are actually handled via rx_h_mgmt through being queued to the sta/mesh implementations. Thanks to Li YanBo for noticing the problem.

2008-09-24mac80211: mesh portal functionality supportYanBo
Currently the mesh code doesn't support bridging mesh point interfaces with wired ethernet or AP to construct an MPP or MAP. This patch adds code to support the "6 address frame format packet" functionality to mesh point interfaces. Now the mesh network can be used as backhaul for end to end communication.

2008-09-24mac80211: make master iface not wirelessJohannes Berg
There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211, in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add checks for the master interface all over the config handlers. This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer. Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.
