2013-03-26netlink: have length check of rtnl msg before derefHong zhi guo
When the legacy array rtm_min still exists, the length check within these functions is covered by rtm_min[RTM_NEWTFILTER], rtm_min[RTM_NEWQDISC] and rtm_min[RTM_NEWTCLASS]. But after Thomas Graf removed rtm_min several days ago, these checks are missing. Other doit functions should be OK.

2013-03-26firewire net, ipv4 arp: Extend hardware address and remove driver-level ↵YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
packet inspection. Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver cannot (and should not) have full state of them. IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max speed and fifo address. This patch removes such inspection by extending our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well: max packet size, max speed and fifo. By doing this, The neighbour module in networking subsystem can cache them. Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those information will not be used in the driver when sending. When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo. The driver can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address) by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address. This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6 over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format in their address resolution protocols. Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows: union fwnet_hwaddr { u8 u[16]; struct { __be64 uniq_id; /* EUI-64 */ u8 max_rec; /* max packet size */ u8 sspd; /* max speed */ __be16 fifo_hi; /* hi 16bits of FIFO addr */ __be32 fifo_lo; /* lo 32bits of FIFO addr */ } __packed uc; }; Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this format in detail. One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734) is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address field (aka ar$tha). This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem. CC: Stephan Gatzka <stephan.gatzka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Following patch refactors GRE code into ip tunneling code and GRE specific code.

2013-03-25unix: fix a race condition in unix_release()Paul Moore
As reported by Jan, and others over the past few years, there is a race condition caused by unix_release setting the sock->sk pointer to NULL before properly marking the socket as dead/orphaned. This can cause a problem with the LSM hook security_unix_may_send() if there is another socket attempting to write to this partially released socket in between when sock->sk is set to NULL and it is marked as dead/orphaned. This patch fixes this by only setting sock->sk to NULL after the socket has been marked as dead; I also take the opportunity to make unix_release_sock() a void function as it only ever returned 0/success. Dave, I think this one should go on the -stable pile. Special thanks to Jan for coming up with a reproducer for this problem.

If a P2P device wdev is removed while it has a scan, then the scan completion might crash later as it is already freed by that time. To avoid the crash always check the scan completion when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise warn and leak it to avoid later crashes. In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed). For now, use the sched_scan_mtx instead, I'll rename it to just scan_mtx in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-22tcp: preserve ACK clocking in TSOEric Dumazet
A long standing problem with TSO is the fact that tcp_tso_should_defer() rearms the deferred timer, while it should not. Current code leads to following bad bursty behavior : 20:11:24.484333 IP A > B: . 297161:316921(19760) ack 1 win 119 20:11:24.484337 IP B > A: . ack 263721 win 1117 20:11:24.485086 IP B > A: . ack 265241 win 1117 20:11:24.485925 IP B > A: . ack 266761 win 1117 20:11:24.486759 IP B > A: . ack 268281 win 1117 20:11:24.487594 IP B > A: . ack 269801 win 1117 20:11:24.488430 IP B > A: . ack 271321 win 1117 20:11:24.489267 IP B > A: . ack 272841 win 1117 20:11:24.490104 IP B > A: . ack 274361 win 1117 20:11:24.490939 IP B > A: . ack 275881 win 1117 20:11:24.491775 IP B > A: . ack 277401 win 1117 20:11:24.491784 IP A > B: . 316921:332881(15960) ack 1 win 119 20:11:24.492620 IP B > A: . ack 278921 win 1117 20:11:24.493448 IP B > A: . ack 280441 win 1117 20:11:24.494286 IP B > A: . ack 281961 win 1117 20:11:24.495122 IP B > A: . ack 283481 win 1117 20:11:24.495958 IP B > A: . ack 285001 win 1117 20:11:24.496791 IP B > A: . ack 286521 win 1117 20:11:24.497628 IP B > A: . ack 288041 win 1117 20:11:24.498459 IP B > A: . ack 289561 win 1117 20:11:24.499296 IP B > A: . ack 291081 win 1117 20:11:24.500133 IP B > A: . ack 292601 win 1117 20:11:24.500970 IP B > A: . ack 294121 win 1117 20:11:24.501388 IP B > A: . ack 295641 win 1117 20:11:24.501398 IP A > B: . 332881:351881(19000) ack 1 win 119 While the expected behavior is more like : 20:19:49.259620 IP A > B: . 197601:202161(4560) ack 1 win 119 20:19:49.260446 IP B > A: . ack 154281 win 1212 20:19:49.261282 IP B > A: . ack 155801 win 1212 20:19:49.262125 IP B > A: . ack 157321 win 1212 20:19:49.262136 IP A > B: . 202161:206721(4560) ack 1 win 119 20:19:49.262958 IP B > A: . ack 158841 win 1212 20:19:49.263795 IP B > A: . ack 160361 win 1212 20:19:49.264628 IP B > A: . ack 161881 win 1212 20:19:49.264637 IP A > B: . 206721:211281(4560) ack 1 win 119 20:19:49.265465 IP B > A: . ack 163401 win 1212 20:19:49.265886 IP B > A: . ack 164921 win 1212 20:19:49.266722 IP B > A: . ack 166441 win 1212 20:19:49.266732 IP A > B: . 211281:215841(4560) ack 1 win 119 20:19:49.267559 IP B > A: . ack 167961 win 1212 20:19:49.268394 IP B > A: . ack 169481 win 1212 20:19:49.269232 IP B > A: . ack 171001 win 1212 20:19:49.269241 IP A > B: . 215841:221161(5320) ack 1 win 119 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Cc: Van Jacobson <vanj@google.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Nandita Dukkipati <nanditad@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-03-22rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functionsThomas Graf
With decnet converted, we can finally get rid of rta_buf and its computations around it. It also gets rid of the minimal header length verification since all message handlers do that explicitly anyway. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
