2009-03-13x25: '< 0' and '>= 0' test on unsignedRoel Kluin
skb->len is an unsigned int, so the test in x25_rx_call_request() always evaluates to true. len in x25_sendmsg() is unsigned as well. so -ERRORS returned by x25_output() are not noticed. Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-13ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verificationDenys Fedoryshchenko
Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927. Here is quote of important information: " An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. " But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227. " The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case where the address turns out to be already in use by another host. " When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip. Signed-off-by: Denys Fedoryshchenko <denys@visp.net.lb> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-13sctp: add Adaptation Layer Indication parameter only when it's setmalc
RFC5061 states: Each adaptation layer that is defined that wishes to use this parameter MUST specify an adaptation code point in an appropriate RFC defining its use and meaning. If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param with a zero Adaptation Code Point. Rationale - Currently the IANA defines zero as reserved - and 1 as the only valid value - so we consider zero to be unset - to save adding a boolean to the socket structure. Including this parameter unconditionally causes endpoints that do not understand it to report errors unnecessarily.

2009-03-11SUNRPC: Return EAGAIN instead of ENOTCONN when waking up xprt->pendingTrond Myklebust
While we should definitely return socket errors to the task that is currently trying to send data, there is no need to propagate the same error to all the other tasks on xprt->pending.

2009-03-11SUNRPC: Handle ECONNREFUSED correctly in xprt_transmit()Trond Myklebust
If we get an ECONNREFUSED error, we currently go to sleep on the 'xprt->sending' wait queue. The problem is that no timeout is set there, and there is nothing else that will wake the task up later. We should deal with ECONNREFUSED in call_status, given that is where we also deal with -EHOSTDOWN, and friends. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2009-03-11SUNRPC: Avoid an unnecessary task reschedule on ENOTCONNTrond Myklebust
If the socket is unconnected, and xprt_transmit() returns ENOTCONN, we currently give up the lock on the transport channel. Doing so means that the lock automatically gets assigned to the next task in the xprt->sending queue, and so that task needs to be woken up to do the actual connect. The following patch aims to avoid that unnecessary task switch. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2009-03-11SUNRPC: Avoid spurious wake-up during UDP connect processingChuck Lever
To clear out old state, the UDP connect workers unconditionally invoke xs_close() before proceeding with a new connect. Nowadays this causes a spurious wake-up of the task waiting for the connect to complete. This is a little racey, but usually harmless. The waiting task immediately retries the connect via a call_bind/call_connect sequence, which usually finds the transport already in the connected state because the connect worker has finished in the background. To avoid a spurious wake-up, factor the xs_close() logic that resets the underlying socket into a helper, and have the UDP connect workers call that helper instead of xs_close().

2009-03-11SUNRPC: xprt_connect() don't abort the task if the transport isn't boundTrond Myklebust

Deal with that situation by returning a new error: ENOTSOCK, so that we know to avoid dereferencing transport->sock. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2009-03-11tcp: allow timestamps even if SYN packet has tsval=0Eric Dumazet
Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0]. It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml ) Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps and lose some benefit of RFC1323. Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-10SUNRPC: Tighten up the task locking rules in __rpc_execute()Trond Myklebust
We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag, since rpc_make_runnable() is then free to assign the rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it. We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not the task really is sleeping).

2009-03-03netlink: invert error code in netlink_set_err()Pablo Neira Ayuso
The callers of netlink_set_err() currently pass a negative value as parameter for the error code. However, sk->sk_err wants a positive error value. Without this patch, skb_recv_datagram() called by netlink_recvmsg() may return a positive value to report an error. Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive error value, but this seems a bit inconsistent and error prone to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the (usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :). This patch also includes some documentation in docbook format for netlink_set_err() to avoid this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
