2008-11-10dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handlingLennert Buytenhek1-2/+70
Before commit b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7 ("net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), the dsa driver could sort-of get away with only fiddling with the master interface's allmulti/promisc counts in ->change_rx_flags() and not touching them in ->open() or ->stop(). After this commit (note that it was merged almost simultaneously with the dsa patches, which is why this wasn't caught initially), the breakage that was already there became more apparent. Since it makes no sense to keep the master interface's allmulti or promisc count pinned for a slave interface that is down, copy the vlan driver's sync logic (which does exactly what we want) over to dsa to fix this.

2008-11-10net: fix setting of skb->tail in skb_recycle_check()Lennert Buytenhek1-1/+1
Since skb_reset_tail_pointer() reads skb->data, we need to set skb->data before calling skb_reset_tail_pointer(). This was causing spurious skb_over_panic()s from skb_put() being called on a recycled skb that had its skb->tail set to beyond where it should have been.

2008-11-10cfg80211: Add regulatory domain intersection capabilityLuis R. Rodriguez1-8/+158
There are certain scenerios where we require intersecting two regulatory domains. This adds intersection support. When we enable 802.11d support we will use this to intersect the regulatory domain from the AP's country IE and what our regulatory agent believes is correct for a country. This patch enables intersection for now in the case where the last regdomain was set by a country IE which was parsed and the user then wants to set the regulatory domain. Since we don't support country IE parsing yet this code path will not be hit, however this allows us to pave the way for 11d support. Intersection code has been tested in userspace with CRDA.

2008-11-10mac80211: Allow AP mode to be enabledJouni Malinen1-0/+2
With the addition of basic rate set and TX queue parameter configuration and confirmation that power save buffering is working again, mac80211 is now in state that allows AP mode to be used without major problems. Consequently, it is time to allow this mode to be enabled without having to patch the kernel. AP mode requires hostapd for management frame processing and as such, configuring this mode is only allowed through cfg80211 (not with iwconfig and WEXT).

2008-11-09net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collectorMiklos Szeredi2-19/+61
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

2008-11-07pkt_sched: Control group classifierThomas Graf3-0/+302
The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work without any special configuration. The principle of the classifier is to directly access the task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work, classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable if actually needed.

2008-11-07net: Guaranetee the proper ordering of the loopback device. v2Eric W. Biederman1-5/+17
I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace cleanup. In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the loopback device is present. Things like sending igmp unsubscribe messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present. Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the loopback device directly from net_dev_init(). This guarantes that the loopback device is the first device registered and the last network device to go away. But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after we clear dev_boot_phase.

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

2008-11-06Fix logic error in rfkill_check_duplicityJonathan McDowell1-1/+1
> I'll have a prod at why the [hso] rfkill stuff isn't working next Ok, I believe this is due to the addition of rfkill_check_duplicity in rfkill and the fact that test_bit actually returns a negative value rather than the postive one expected (which is of course equally true). So when the second WLAN device (the hso device, with the EEE PC WLAN being the first) comes along rfkill_check_duplicity returns a negative value and so rfkill_register returns an error.

2008-11-06bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failoverBrian Haley1-27/+65
This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices, especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko. - Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the IPv6-specific routines. Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds are supported. - Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event. Default is 1. - Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions: ndisc_build_skb() ndisc_send_skb() These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order. - Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond support to 3.4.0. On failover, this new code will generate one packet: - An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch learn that the address has moved to the new slave. Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

2008-11-05net: Don't leak packets when a netns is going downEric W. Biederman1-1/+3
I have been tracking for a while a case where when the network namespace exits the cleanup gets stck in an endless precessess of: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3 It turns out that if you listen on a multicast address an unsubscribe packet is sent when the network device goes down. If you shutdown the network namespace without carefully cleaning up this can trigger the unsubscribe packet to be sent over the loopback interface while the network namespace is going down. All of which is fine except when we drop the packet and forget to free it leaking the skb and the dst entry attached to. As it turns out the dst entry hold a reference to the idev which holds the dev and keeps everything from being cleaned up. Yuck! By fixing my earlier thinko and add the needed kfree_skb and everything cleans up beautifully. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
