* netns: ip6mr: dynamically allocate mfc6_cache_arrayBenjamin Thery2008-12-102-16/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware. Dynamically allocates IPv6 multicast forwarding cache, mfc6_cache_array, and moves it to struct netns_ipv6. At the moment, mfc6_cache_array is only referenced in init_net. Replace 'ARRAY_SIZE(mfc6_cache_array)' with mfc6_cache_array size: MFC6_LINES.

* netns: ip6mr: store netns in struct mfc6_cacheBenjamin Thery2008-12-102-9/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch stores into struct mfc6_cache the network namespace each mfc6_cache belongs to. The new member is mfc6_net. mfc6_net is assigned at cache allocation and doesn't change during the rest of the cache entry life. This will help to retrieve the current netns around the IPv6 multicast forwarding code. At the moment, all mfc6_cache are allocated in init_net.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Stephen Rothwell points out, we don't want 'sock' here but rather we really do want 'sk'. This local var is protected by all sorts of bluetooth debugging kconfig vars, but BT_DBG() is just a straight pr_debug() call which is unconditional. pr_debug() evaluates it's args only if either DEBUG or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is defined.

* dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctlGerrit Renker2008-12-089-33/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation (i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per RFC 4341, 4.). Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock / sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector) /* ... */ with if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL) /* ... */ The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection. Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child), so that the test is a valid one. The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature negotiation has concluded at the * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives; * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN. Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been removed, since (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received; (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e. this entry will always be ignored; (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks. There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails. I removed this after finding out that: * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier, * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets, * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

* dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count featureGerrit Renker2008-12-087-18/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now: * for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts; * for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths. Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they are needed (e.g. in CCID-3). This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking), hence this form of support is redundant. At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

* dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interfaceGerrit Renker2008-12-086-39/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of feature negotiation may be something different. The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs. Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

* dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 3 (client side)Gerrit Renker2008-12-081-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This integrates feature-activation in the client: 1. When dccp_parse_options() fails, the reset code is already set; request_sent\ _state_process() currently overrides this with `Packet Error', which is not intended - changed to use the reset code supplied by dccp_parse_options(). 2. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable, so that the application is notified that an error occurred. This is achieved by a new label 'unable_to_proceed': generating an error code of `Aborted', setting the socket state to CLOSED, returning with ECOMM in sk_err. 3. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing again in dccp_rcv_respond_partopen_state_process (as option processing has already been done on the request_sock in dccp_check_req). Since this addresses congestion-control initialisation, a corresponding FIXME has been removed.

* dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 2 (server side)Gerrit Renker2008-12-081-30/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch integrates the activation of features at the end of negotiation into the server-side code. Note regarding the removal of 'const': -------------------------------------- The 'const' attribute has been removed from 'dreq' since dccp_activate_values() needs to operate on dreq's feature list. Part of the activation is to remove those options from the list that have already been confirmed, hence it is not purely read-only.

* dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 1 (socket setup)Gerrit Renker2008-12-081-40/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This first patch out of three replaces the hardcoded default settings with initialisation code for the dynamic feature negotiation. The patch also ensures that the client feature-negotiation queue is flushed only when entering the OPEN state. Since confirmed Change options are removed as soon as they are confirmed (in the DCCP-Response), this ensures that Confirm options are retransmitted. Note on retransmitting Confirm options: --------------------------------------- Implementation experience showed that it is necessary to retransmit Confirm options. Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier revision of the patch set, resulting from not retransmitting these options. As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm options for the Change options received on the DCCP-Response from the server. Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the network, the connection aborts due to undefined feature negotiation state.

The PLCP header being 5 bytes long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb buffer. As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect architectures that require alignment.

Concerned that whilst it was safe to assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the easy fix of changing the call to memcmp(). My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing mac address comparisons throughout the module.

But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390 This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to ipw_disassociate().

| | * iwlwifi: clean key table in iwl_clear_stations_table functionTomas Winkler2008-12-052-3/+24

Since the keys are not removed properly on suspend by mac80211 this may result in exhausting key table on resume leading to memory corruption during removal This patch also fixes a memory corruption problem reported in http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=122641417231586&w=2 and tracked in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12040. When the key is removed a second time the offset is set to 255 - this index is not valid for the ucode_key_table and corrupts the eeprom pointer (which is 255 bits from ucode_key_table).

| * | tcp: tcp_vegas ssthresh bug fixDoug Leith2008-12-041-0/+2
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh, then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

| * tcp: make urg+gso work for real this timeIlpo Järvinen2008-12-031-12/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would restore the window again. Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could be that something was changed down the road, or it might have been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from ~64k before the urg point. The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.
