2011-11-08iwmc3200wifi: add some more range checksDan Carpenter1-2/+13
My previous patch added a check to get_key() but missed a couple other places which need range checks. The problem here is that wifi drivers have different numbers of keys. The lower levels assume that they can have up to 4 default keys and 2 management keys but this driver only has the default keys so we could go past the end of the ->keys[] array.

2011-10-24ipv6: Do not use routes from locally generated RAsAndreas Hofmeister1-0/+8
When hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra == 2), the kernel also sees RAs generated locally. This is useful since it allows the kernel to auto-configure its own interface addresses. However, if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and/or 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' are set and the locally generated RAs announce the default route and/or other route information, the kernel happily inserts bogus routes with its own address as gateway. With this patch, adding routes from an RA will be skiped when the RAs source address matches any local address, just as if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' were set to 0.

2011-10-24ipv4: tcp: fix TOS value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAITEric Dumazet5-9/+15
There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets. In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of incoming message, and this might break some setups. Example of things that were broken : - Routing using TOS as a selector - Firewalls - Trafic classification / shaping We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in ACK generation, and route lookup. Notes : - We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages. - We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets. - A patch is needed for IPv6 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-24rtnetlink: Add missing manual netlink notification in dev_change_net_namespacesEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e130c343ace5320c20d33c281e7097b7 "rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved from one network namespace to another. Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces. Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

2011-10-24net: hold sock reference while processing tx timestampsRichard Cochran3-4/+17
The pair of functions, * skb_clone_tx_timestamp() * skb_complete_tx_timestamp() were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the socket's error queue. As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too. These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.

2011-10-21tcp: add const qualifiers where possibleEric Dumazet11-152/+160
Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further. For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the temporary null value...

2011-10-21dev: use name hash for dev_seq_opsMihai Maruseac1-15/+69
Instead of using the dev->next chain and trying to resync at each call to dev_seq_start, use the name hash, keeping the bucket and the offset in seq->private field. Tests revealed the following results for ifconfig > /dev/null * 1000 interfaces: * 0.114s without patch * 0.089s with patch * 3000 interfaces: * 0.489s without patch * 0.110s with patch * 5000 interfaces: * 1.363s without patch * 0.250s with patch * 128000 interfaces (other setup): * ~100s without patch * ~30s with patch Signed-off-by: Mihai Maruseac <mmaruseac@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-21macvtap: Fix the minor device number allocationEric W. Biederman2-16/+72
On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the 31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor, resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days. Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers are available and and to track the association between macvtap minor numbers and macvtap network devices. Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap specific data structures it is impossible to find any other kind of networking device. Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor device range. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
