2008-05-21tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network modeAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary "publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's current network address is now updated only after the two services are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

2008-05-21tipc: Update "previous node" indicators when node address changesAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that the "previous node" field in any existing TIPC port message header templates is updated properly when a TIPC network address is assigned to the node. (Previously, only the "originating node" field was updated.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-21tipc: Optimize null pointer check during neighbor discoveryAllan Stephens
This patch optimizes TIPC neighbor discovery code to avoid testing for a null node pointer when the pointer is already known to be non-null. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-21tipc: Prevent node object duplication due to simultaneous discoveryAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that the simultaneous discovery of the same neighboring node by multiple interfaces does not cause TIPC to add the node into its internal data structures more than once.

2008-05-21tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privilegesAllan Stephens
This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

2008-05-21ipmr: Use on-device stats instead of private ones.Pavel Emelyanov
These devices use the private area of appropriate size for statistics. Turning them to use on-device ones make them "privless" and thus - really small wrt kmalloc cache, they are allocated from. Besides, code looks nicer, because of absence of multi-braced type casts and dereferences. [ Fix build failures -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-20ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out functionHerbert Xu
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes. When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible. Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.

2008-05-19ipv6: In fragmentation code, handle error returned from register_pernet_subsys.Pavel Emelyanov
The error code is ignored now, but ipv6 is a module and one can be loaded under memory pressure, so the error may occur (in theory). Besides, I'm going to handle error returned from registering a read-only part of the table, so ignoring this one, while handing the other one would look strange. (However, this possibility of error is rather small, so I'm not sure whether this is a candidate for current net tree). Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The fragments sysctls also contains some, that are to be visible, but read-only in net namespaces. The naming in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c is - tables, that are to be registered in namespaces have a "ns" word in their names. So rename ones in ipv4/ip_fragment.c and ipv6/reassembly.c to fit this.

Most of the net/core/xxx sysctls are read-only now, but this goal is achieved with excessive memory consumption in each namespace - the whole table is cloned and most of the entries in it are ~= 0222.

2008-05-19tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port referencesAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-19tipc: Fix bug in topology server byte swapping routineAllan Stephens
This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.)
