* ipv6: Use universal hash for NDISC.David S. Miller2011-12-284-18/+18
| | | | | | | | | In order to perform a proper universal hash on a vector of integers, we have to use different universal hashes on each vector element. Which means we need 4 different hash randoms for ipv6. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* ax25: avoid overflows in ax25_setsockopt()Xi Wang2011-12-281-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit be639ac6 ("NET: AX.25: Check ioctl arguments to avoid overflows further down the road") rejects very large arguments, but doesn't completely fix overflows on 64-bit systems. Consider the AX25_T2 case. int opt; ... if (opt < 1 || opt > ULONG_MAX / HZ) { res = -EINVAL; break; } ax25->t2 = opt * HZ; The 32-bit multiplication opt * HZ would overflow before being assigned to 64-bit ax25->t2. This patch changes "opt" to unsigned long. Signed-off-by: Xi Wang <xi.wang@gmail.com> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* genetlink: add auto module loadingStephen Hemminger2011-12-281-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | When testing L2TP support, I discovered that the l2tp module is not autoloaded as are other netlink interfaces. There is because of lack of hook in genetlink to call request_module and load the module. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* ipv6: Remove optimistic DAD flag test in ipv6_add_addr()David Miller2011-12-281-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The route we have here is for the address being added to the interface, ie. for input packet processing. Therefore using that route to determine whether an output nexthop gateway is known and resolved doesn't make any sense. So, simply remove this test, it never triggered anyways.

* tipc: Ignore broadcast acknowledgements that are out-of-rangeAllan Stephens2011-12-274-13/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds checks to TIPC's broadcast link so that it ignores any acknowledgement message containing a sequence number that does not correspond to an unacknowledged message currently in the broadcast link's transmit queue. This change prevents the broadcast link from becoming stalled if a newly booted node receives stale broadcast link acknowledgement information from another node that has not yet fully synchronized its end of the broadcast link to reflect the current state of the new node's end.

| | | | | | | | | | Adds code to release any unsent broadcast messages in the broadcast link transmit queue if TIPC loses contact with its only neighboring node.

| | | | | | | | | | | The two broadcast link statistics fields that are used to derive the average length of that link's transmit queue are now updated only after a successful attempt to send a broadcast message, since there is no need to update these values when an unsuccessful send attempt leaves the queue unchanged.

* tipc: Handle broadcast attempt when no neighboring nodes existAllan Stephens2011-12-271-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a check to detect when an attempt is made to send a message via the broadcast link and no neighboring nodes are currently available to receive it. Rather than wasting effort passing the message to the broadcast link and broadcast bearer, who will only throw it away, TIPC now frees the message immediately and reports success (i.e. the message has been delivered to all available destinations).

* tipc: Eliminate dynamic allocation of broadcast link data structuresAllan Stephens2011-12-273-31/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Creates global variables to hold the broadcast link's pseudo-bearer and pseudo-link structures, rather than allocating them dynamically. There is only a single instance of each structure, and changing over to static allocation allows elimination of code to handle the cases where dynamic allocation was unsuccessful. The memset in the teardown code may look like they aren't used, but the same teardown code is run when there is a non-fatal error at init-time, so that stale data isn't present when the user fixes the cause of the soft error.

There is no need to initialize the array on start up since it is a global variable that is already zero'd out, and there is no need to zero it out on exit because the array is never referenced again.

| | | | | | | | | | | Modifies Ethernet bearer disable logic to break the association between the bearer and its device driver at the time the bearer is disabled, rather than when the TIPC module is unloaded.

* tipc: Hide media-specific addressing details from generic bearer codeAllan Stephens2011-12-276-41/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reworks TIPC's media address data structure and associated processing routines to transfer all media-specific details of address conversion to the associated TIPC media adaptation code. TIPC's generic bearer code now only needs to know which media type an address is associated with and whether or not it is a broadcast address, and totally ignores the "value" field that contains the actual media-specific addressing info. These changes eliminate the need for a number of endianness conversion operations and will make it easier for TIPC to support new media types in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplifies error handling performed during media registration, since TIPC no longer supports the dynamic addition of new media types that are potentially error-prone. These simplifications include the following: 1) No longer check for premature registration of a new media type. 2) No longer check for negative link priority values (which was pointless since such values are unsigned, and could cause a compiler warning). 3) No longer generate a warning describing the exact cause of any registration failure (just warns that overall registration failed).

This is OK if the number of flows is relatively low. However, in case that the number of flows is huge, we can spend a considerable amount of cycles to iterate over the list of flows that have been obtained. Moreover, if we want to obtain the sum of the flow accounting results that match some criteria, we have to iterate over the whole list of existing flows, look for matchings and update the counters. This patch adds the extended accounting infrastructure for nfnetlink which aims to allow displaying real-time traffic accounting without the need of complicated and resource-consuming implementation in user-space. Basically, this new infrastructure allows you to create accounting objects. One accounting object is composed of packet and byte counters. In order to manipulate create accounting objects, you require the new libnetfilter_acct library. It contains several examples of use: libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-add http-traffic libnetfilter_acct/examples# ./nfacct-get http-traffic = { pkts = 000000000000, bytes = 000000000000 }; Then, you can use one of this accounting objects in several iptables rules using the new nfacct match (which comes in a follow-up patch): # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic # iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m nfacct --nfacct-name http-traffic The idea is simple: if one packet matches the rule, the nfacct match updates the counters.

This patch removes the nf_ct_userspace_expect_list since now we force to use the new iptables CT target feature to add the helper extension for conntracks that have attached expectations from userspace. A new version of the proof-of-concept code to implement userspace helpers from userspace is available at: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/userspace-conntrack-helpers/nf-ftp-helper-POC.tar.bz2 This patch also modifies the CT target to allow to set the conntrack's userspace helper status flags. This flag is used to tell the conntrack system to explicitly allocate the helper extension. This helper extension is useful to link the userspace expectations with the master conntrack that is being tracked from one userspace helper. This feature fixes a problem in the current approach of the userspace helper support. Basically, if the master conntrack that has got a userspace expectation vanishes, the expectations point to one invalid memory address. Thus, triggering an oops in the expectation deletion event path. I decided not to add a new revision of the CT target because I only needed to add a new flag for it. I'll document in this issue in the iptables manpage. I have also changed the return value from EINVAL to EOPNOTSUPP if one flag not supported is specified. Thus, in the future adding new features that only require a new flag can be added without a new revision. There is no official code using this in userspace (apart from the proof-of-concept) that uses this infrastructure but there will be some by beginning 2012.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the expect tuple (if possible) instead of the master tuple for the get operation. If two or more expectations come from the same master, the returned expectation may not be the one that user-space is requesting. This is how it works for the expect deletion operation. Although I think that nobody has been seriously using this. We accept both possibilities, using the expect tuple if possible. I decided to do it like this to avoid breaking backward compatibility.
