2010-01-04netfilter: SNMP NAT: correct the size argument to kzallocJulia Lawall
obj has type struct snmp_object **, not struct snmp_object *. But indeed it is not even clear why kmalloc is needed. The memory is freed by the end of the function, so the local variable of pointer type should be sufficient. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @disable sizeof_type_expr@ type T; T **x; @@ x = <+...sizeof( - T + *x )...+> // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2010-01-03can: Speed up CAN frame receiption by using ml_privOliver Hartkopp
this patch removes the hlist that contains the CAN receiver filter lists. It uses the 'midlayer private' pointer ml_priv and links the filters directly to the CAN netdevice, which allows to omit the walk through the complete CAN devices hlist for each received CAN frame. This patch is tested and does not remove any locking. Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@hartkopp.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-12-28mac80211: annotate sleeping driver opsKalle Valo
To make it easier to notice cases of calling sleeping ops in atomic context, annotate driver-ops.h with appropiate might_sleep() calls. At the same time, also document in mac80211.h the op functions with missing contexts. mac80211 doesn't seem to use get_tx_stats anywhere currently. Just to be on the safe side, I documented it to be atomic, but hopefully the op can be removed in the future. Compile-tested only.

2009-12-28cfg80211: add remain-on-channel commandJouni Malinen
Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

2009-12-28mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctlyJohannes Berg
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-12-28mac80211: refactor associationJohannes Berg

2009-12-28mac80211: generalise work handlingJohannes Berg
In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

2009-12-28mac80211: generalise management work a bitJohannes Berg
As a first step of generalising management work, this renames a few things and puts more information directly into the struct so that auth/assoc need not access the BSS pointer as often -- in fact it can be removed from auth completely. Also since the previous patch made sure a new work item is used for association, we can make the different data a union.

2009-12-28mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth stateJohannes Berg
mac80211 currently hangs on to the auth state by keeping it on the work list. That can lead to confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.) It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurationsLuis R. Rodriguez
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.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_workLuis R. Rodriguez
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.

2009-12-26llc: replace the socket list with a local address based hashOctavian Purdila
For the cases where a lot of interfaces are used in conjunction with a lot of LLC sockets bound to the same SAP, the iteration of the socket list becomes prohibitively expensive. Replacing the list with a a local address based hash significantly improves the bind and listener lookup operations as well as the datagram delivery. Connected sockets delivery is also improved, but this patch does not address the case where we have lots of sockets with the same local address connected to different remote addresses.

2009-12-26llc: convert the socket list to RCU lockingOctavian Purdila
For the reclamation phase we use the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU mechanism, which require some extra checks in the lookup code: a) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in another list it will short circuit the iteration for the current list, thus we need to restart the lookup. b) If the current socket was released, reallocated & inserted in the same list we just need to recheck it matches the look-up criteria and if not we can skip to the next element. In this case there is no need to restart the lookup, since sockets are inserted at the start of the list and the worst that will happen is that we will iterate throught some of the list elements more then once. Note that the /proc and multicast delivery was not yet converted to RCU, it still uses spinlocks for protection. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Using dev_hard_header allows us to use LLC with VLANs and potentially other Ethernet/TokernRing specific encapsulations. It also removes code duplication between LLC and Ethernet/TokenRing core code.

2009-12-25net: restore ip source validationJamal Hadi Salim
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.

2009-12-23pktgen: ndo_start_xmit can return NET_XMIT_xxx valuesJohn Fastabend
This updates pktgen so that it does not decrement skb->users when it receives valid NET_XMIT_xxx values. These are now valid return values from ndo_start_xmit in net-next-2.6. They also indicate the skb has been consumed. This fixes pktgen to work correctly with vlan devices.

2009-12-23net: Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive windowlaurent chavey
Add rtnetlink init_rcvwnd to set the TCP initial receive window size advertised by passive and active TCP connections. The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial receive window to the one prescribed by slow start. For short lived TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results in increased latency to complete the transaction. Support for setting initial congestion window is already supported using rtnetlink init_cwnd, but the feature is useless without the ability to set a larger TCP initial receive window. The rtnetlink init_rcvwnd allows increasing the TCP initial receive window, allowing TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window than the ones bounded by slow start.
