2008-04-16[VLAN]: Tag vlan_group_device with net device, not ifindex.Pavel Emelyanov
Currently vlan group is searched using one key - the ifindex. We'll have to lookup the vlan_group by two keys - ifindex and net. Turning the vlan_group lookup key to struct net_device pointer will make this process easier. Besides, this will eliminate one more place in the networking, that assumes that indexes are unique in the kernel.

2008-04-15[ETHTOOL]: Add support for large eepromsMandeep Singh Baines
Currently, it is not possible to read/write to an eeprom larger than 128k in size because the buffer used for temporarily storing the eeprom contents is allocated using kmalloc. kmalloc can only allocate a maximum of 128k depending on architecture. Modified ethtool_get/set_eeprom to only allocate a page of memory and then copy the eeprom a page at a time. Updated original patch as per suggestions from Joe Perches.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Enhance validation of format on incoming messagesAllan Stephens
This patch ensures that TIPC properly handles incoming messages that have incorrect or unexpected formats. Most significantly, it now ensures that each sl_buff has at least as much data as the message header indicates it should, and that the entire message header is stored contiguously; this prevents TIPC from accidentally accessing memory that is not part of the sk_buff.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffsAllan Stephens
This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization of any such messages it receives. Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Use fast buffer cloning to improve performanceAllan Stephens

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Remove redundant NULL check when discarding buffersAllan Stephens

2008-04-15mac80211: remove message on receiving unexpected unencrypted framesJohannes Berg
Some people are getting this message a lot, and we have traced it to broken access points that much too often send completely empty frames (all bytes zeroed, which they shouldn't do at all.) Since we cannot do anything about such frames in any case except the special case where we're debugging an AP, just remove the message.

2008-04-15rfkill: Fix device type check when toggling statesCarlos Corbacho
rfkill_switch_all() is supposed to only switch all the interfaces of a given type, but does not actually do this; instead, it just switches everything currently in the same state. Add the necessary type check in. (This fixes a bug I've been seeing while developing an rfkill laptop driver, with both bluetooth and wireless simultaneously changing state after only pressing either KEY_WLAN or KEY_BLUETOOTH).

2008-04-15[NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.Pavel Emelyanov
Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net. The access rules are simple: 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get the id of your private pointer 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback of the ops registered) 3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array; 4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive; 5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer. When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU grace period. Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers. Quoting Paul: "... RCU is protecting -only- the net_generic structure that net_generic() is traversing, and the [pointer] returned by net_generic() is protected by a reference counter in the upper-level struct net."

2008-04-15[NETNS]: The net-subsys IDs generator.Pavel Emelyanov
To make some per-net generic pointers, we need some way to address them, i.e. - IDs. This is simple IDA-based IDs generator for pernet subsystems. Addressing questions about potential checkpoint/restart problems: these IDs are "lite-offsets" within the net structure and are by no means supposed to be exported to the userspace. Since it will be used in the nearest future by devices only (tun, vlan, tunnels, bridge, etc), I make it resemble the functionality of register_pernet_device(). The new ids is stored in the *id pointer _before_ calling the init callback to make this id available in this callback. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-04-15[TCP]: Fix never pruned tcp out-of-order queue.Vitaliy Gusev
tcp_prune_queue() doesn't prune an out-of-order queue at all. Therefore sk_rmem_schedule() can fail but the out-of-order queue isn't pruned . This can lead to tcp deadlock state if the next two conditions are held: 1. There are a sequence hole between last received in order segment and segments enqueued to the out-of-order queue. 2. Size of all segments in the out-of-order queue is more than tcp_mem[2]. Signed-off-by: Vitaliy Gusev <vgusev@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Overhaul of socket locking logicAllan Stephens
This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to follow the same approach used by other protocols. This change eliminates the need for a mutex in the TIPC-specific portion of the socket protocol data structure -- in its place, the standard Linux socket backlog queue and associated locking routines are utilized. These changes fix a long-standing receive queue bug on SMP systems, and also enable individual read and write threads to utilize a socket without unnecessarily interfering with each other.

2008-04-15[TIPC]: Correct "off by 1" error in socket queue limit enforcementAllan Stephens

2008-04-14[NET_SCHED] sch_api: fix qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() loopJarek Poplawski
TC_H_MAJ(parentid) for root classes is the same as for ingress, and if ingress qdisc is created qdisc_lookup() returns its pointer (without ingress NULL is returned). After this all qdisc_lookups give the same, and we get endless loop. (I don't know how this could hide for so long - it should trigger with every leaf class deleted if it's qdisc isn't empty.) After this fix qdisc_lookup() is omitted both for ingress and root parents, but looking for root is only wasting a little time here...

Connection tracking helpers (specifically FTP) need to be called before NAT sequence numbers adjustments are performed to be able to compare them against previously seen ones. We've introduced two new hooks around 2.6.11 to maintain this ordering when NAT modules were changed to get called from conntrack helpers directly. The cost of netfilter hooks is quite high and sequence number adjustments are only rarely needed however.

Adding extensions to confirmed conntracks is not allowed to avoid races on reallocation. Don't setup NAT for confirmed conntracks in case NAT module is loaded late. The has one side-effect, the connections existing before the NAT module was loaded won't enter the bysource hash. The only case where this actually makes a difference is in case of SNAT to a multirange where the IP before NAT is also part of the range. Since old connections don't enter the bysource hash the first new connection from the IP will have a new address selected. This shouldn't matter at all.
