this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived
from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers
to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling
queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to
flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable
without changes to the driver.
It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it

In __alloc_skb(), the use of skb_shinfo() which casts a u8 * to the
shared info structure results in gcc being forced to do a reload of the
pointer since it has no information on possible aliasing. Fix this by
using a pointer to refer to skb_shared_info.
By initializing skb_shared_info sequentially, the write combining buffers
can reduce the number of memory transactions to a single write. Reorder
the initialization in __alloc_skb() to match the structure definition.
There is also an alignment issue on 64 bit systems with skb_shared_info
by converting nr_frags to a short everything packs up nicely.
Also, pass the slab cache pointer according to the fclone flag instead
of using two almost identical function calls.

This patch series implements per packet access control via the
extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
associations to label packets. Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
included that leverage the patch for this purpose.
This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem,
pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a
socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security
association) to send/receive network packets.
Patch purpose:
The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on
the strongly authenticated IPSec security association. Such access
controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP
address. The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be
spoofed. By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote
hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.
This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application
if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to
enforce the access control policy.
Patch design approach:
The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by
user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a
security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM
subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via
security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those
policies.
A presentation available at
www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.
Patch implementation details:
On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or
xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of
the socket and the same security context is required for resultant
security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in
ipsec-tools). This is enforced in xfrm_state_find.
On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket
(at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must
also match the security association being used.
The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec.
The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as
before.
Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is
minimal. The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the
combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec
processing proceeds as in the original case.
Testing:
The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools. ipsec-tools have
been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version
0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security
associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation
using the security contexts via racoon.
The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set
security contexts. These programs are also available from me, and
contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing
this interface. Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel
behavior.

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.
In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.
The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:
1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages
2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6
3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design
4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT
The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.
1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO
This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.
UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets
1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.
2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for
"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"
skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.
skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.
For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.

In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting
nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired
when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that
the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches
NEIGH_FAILED.
It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer
has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock.
In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in
neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when
it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state.
So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common
function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it.

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that
by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update)
could have already added a new timer.
So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly.
This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks.

I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.

I have been experimenting with loadable protocol modules, and ran into
several issues with module reference counting.
The first issue was that __module_get failed at the BUG_ON check at
the top of the routine (checking that my module reference count was
not zero) when I created the first socket. When sk_alloc() is called,
my module reference count was still 0. When I looked at why sctp
didn't have this problem, I discovered that sctp creates a control
socket during module init (when the module ref count is not 0), which
keeps the reference count non-zero. This section has been updated to
address the point Stephen raised about checking the return value of
try_module_get().
The next problem arose when my socket init routine returned an error.
This resulted in my module reference count being decremented below 0.
My socket ops->release routine was also being called. The issue here
is that sock_release() calls the ops->release routine and decrements
the ref count if sock->ops is not NULL. Since the socket probably
didn't get correctly initialized, this should not be done, so we will
set sock->ops to NULL because we will not call try_module_get().
While searching for another bug, I also noticed that sys_accept() has
a possibility of doing a module_put() when it did not do an
__module_get so I re-ordered the call to security_socket_accept().

Hi Jeff,
This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed
to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy
about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small.
The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various
wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing
that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take
advantage ot it ?
It includes :
o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of
long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of
NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback.
o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if
this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at
peace with it.
o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been
requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it
was not even painful.
o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's
now gone for good.
o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev
o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11
stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-)
All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on
my web pages for a while...
Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the
Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective
maintainers.
Have fun...

This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup
routines and saves some bytes in TCPv4 TIME_WAIT sockets on distro
kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):
[root@qemu ~]# grep tw_sock /proc/slabinfo
tw_sock_TCPv6 0 0 128 31 1
tw_sock_TCP 0 0 96 41 1
[root@qemu ~]#
Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.
Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.
The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.
Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(
The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.
- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
