Pavel Emelyanov 28518fc170 [NET]: NULL pointer dereference and other nasty things in /proc/net/(tcp|udp)[6]
Commits f40c81 ([NETNS][IPV4] tcp - make proc handle the network
namespaces) and a91275 ([NETNS][IPV6] udp - make proc handle the
network namespace) both introduced bad checks on sockets and tw
buckets to belong to proper net namespace.

I.e. when checking for socket to belong to given net and family the

	do {
		sk = sk_next(sk);
	} while (sk && sk->sk_net != net && sk->sk_family != family);

constructions were used. This is wrong, since as soon as the
sk->sk_net fits the net the socket is immediately returned, even if it
belongs to other family.

As the result four /proc/net/(udp|tcp)[6] entries show wrong info.
The udp6 entry even oopses when dereferencing inet6_sk(sk) pointer:

static void udp6_sock_seq_show(struct seq_file *seq, struct sock *sp, int bucket)
{
	...
        struct ipv6_pinfo *np = inet6_sk(sp);
	...

        dest  = &np->daddr; /* will be NULL for AF_INET sockets */
	...
	seq_printf(...
	           dest->s6_addr32[0], dest->s6_addr32[1],
                   dest->s6_addr32[2], dest->s6_addr32[3],
	...

Fix it by converting && to ||.

Stephen Hemminger b1153f29ee netlink: make socket filters work on netlink
Make socket filters work for netlink unicast and notifications.
This is useful for applications like Zebra that get overrun with
messages that are then ignored.

Note: netlink messages are in host byte order, but packet filter
state machine operations are done as network byte order.

Been seeing occasional panics in my testing of 2.6.25-rc in ip_defrag.
Offending line in ip_defrag is here:

	net = skb->dev->nd_net

where dev is NULL.  Bisected the problem down to commit

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr 82cc1a7a56 [NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame size
Update: My mailer ate one of Jarek's feedback mails...  Fixed the
parameter in netif_set_gso_max_size() to be u32, not u16.  Fixed the
whitespace issue due to a patch import botch.  Changed the types from
u32 to unsigned int to be more consistent with other variables in the
area.  Also brought the patch up to the latest net-2.6.26 tree.

Update: Made gso_max_size container 32 bits, not 16.  Moved the
location of gso_max_size within netdev to be less hotpath.  Made more
consistent names between the sock and netdev layers, and added a
define for the max GSO size.

Update: Respun for net-2.6.26 tree.

Update: changed max_gso_frame_size and sk_gso_max_size from signed to
unsigned - thanks Stephen!

This patch adds the ability for device drivers to control the size of
the TSO frames being sent to them, per TCP connection.  By setting the
netdevice's gso_max_size value, the socket layer will set the GSO
frame size based on that value.  This will propogate into the TCP
layer, and send TSO's of that size to the hardware.

This can be desirable to help tune the bursty nature of TSO on a
per-adapter basis, where one may have 1 GbE and 10 GbE devices
coexisting in a system, one running multiqueue and the other not, etc.

This can also be desirable for devices that cannot support full 64 KB
TSO's, but still want to benefit from some level of segmentation
offloading.

Patrick McHardy 607bfbf2d5 [TCP]: Fix shrinking windows with window scaling
When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink
the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window
size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window
size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining
window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt.
This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down.


The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7):

- Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...>

- New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes
  below the last end:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...>

The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window:

3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832
65832 / 2^7 = 514
65832 % 2^7 = 40

If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have
chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq()
will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before
tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number.
This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it
is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack.

If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of
ACKs until the connection times out.

Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to
the window scaling factor.

Vlad Yasevich 270637abff [SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access
There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.

The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization.  Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

Daniel Hokka Zakrisson d0ebf13359 [NETFILTER]: ipt_recent: sanity check hit count
If a rule using ipt_recent is created with a hit count greater than
ip_pkt_list_tot, the rule will never match as it cannot keep track
of enough timestamps. This patch makes ipt_recent refuse to create such
rules.

With ip_pkt_list_tot's default value of 20, the following can be used
to reproduce the problem.

nc -u -l 0.0.0.0 1234 &
for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo $i | nc -w 1 -u 127.0.0.1 1234; done

This limits it to 20 packets:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \
         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 20 --name test --rsource -j DROP

While this is unlimited:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \
         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 21 --name test --rsource -j DROP

With the patch the second rule-set will throw an EINVAL.

When binding or unbinding to an address family, the res_id is usually set
to zero. When logging instance 0 already exists and is owned by a different
process, this makes nfunl_recv_config return -EPERM without performing
the bind operation.

Since no operation on the foreign logging instance itself was requested,
this is incorrect. Move bind/unbind commands before the queue instance
permissions checks.

Also remove an incorrect comment.

and when current_time.weekday = 0, the result of the & is always

Size of the netlink skb was wrongly computed because the formula was using
NLMSG_ALIGN instead of NLMSG_SPACE. NLMSG_ALIGN does not add the room for
netlink header as NLMSG_SPACE does. This was causing a failure of message
building in some cases.

On my test system, all messages for packets in range [8*k+41, 8*k+48] where k
is an integer were invalid and the corresponding packets were dropped.

David S. Miller db8dac20d5 [UDP]: Revert udplite and code split.
This reverts commit db1ed684f6 ("[IPV6]
UDP: Rename IPv6 UDP files."), commit
8be8af8fa4 ("[IPV4] UDP: Move
IPv4-specific bits to other file.") and commit
e898d4db27 ("[UDP]: Allow users to
configure UDP-Lite.").

First, udplite is of such small cost, and it is a core protocol just
like TCP and normal UDP are.

We spent enormous amounts of effort to make udplite share as much code
with core UDP as possible.  All of that work is less valuable if we're
just going to slap a config option on udplite support.

It is also causing build failures, as reported on linux-next, showing
that the changeset was not tested very well.  In fact, this is the
second build failure resulting from the udplite change.

Finally, the config options provided was a bool, instead of a modular
option.  Meaning the udplite code does not even get build tested
by allmodconfig builds, and furthermore the user is not presented
with a reasonable modular build option which is particularly needed
by distribution vendors.

Allan Stephens c0cb7ef086 [TIPC]: Enhancements to message header writing
This patch makes two enhancements to the routine used to
set bit fields within a TIPC message header:

 1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not
    covered by the mask being used.  (Previously, if the new value
    exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt
    other fields in the message header word being updated.)

 2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time
    endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the
    mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the
    necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.

I noticed a bug I introduced when mesh is enabled: sta_info_destroy()

related fields into sta_info_alloc(), adds a bit of sanity checking to

Johannes Berg 44213b5e13 mac80211: remove STA entries when taking down interface
When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info
items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a
sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the
STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have
removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading
to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after
the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can
lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif
pointer!

A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it
disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should
that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS
peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for
now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

Johannes Berg 73651ee639 mac80211: split sta_info_add
sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info
structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting
these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many
places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU
protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now
no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and
sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure.

This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags
and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and
cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in
a follow-up patch.

by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under

Luis Carlos Cobo 050ac52cbe mac80211: code for on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol
This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment
using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination
or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be
queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when
the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded
if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that
are being used and are close to expiring.

Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to
forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are
also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error
rates.

Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors
have not been implemented yet.

Luis Carlos Cobo eb2b9311fd mac80211: mesh path table implementation
The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The
table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path
contains a lock to protect the mesh path state.

Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the
table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the
appropriate next hop.

If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely
dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta
next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop
must always point to a valid sta.  If this is not possible the mpath must be
deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.

Luis Carlos Cobo f709fc696d mac80211: mesh changes to the MLME
This includes support for mesh network scanning. The ugly code in
ieee80211_sta_scan_result() is my approach to work around wext. This has been
tested with wireless tools version 29 and works as expected (the new interface
mode is just not shown).

Luis Carlos Cobo 2e3c873682 mac80211: support functions for mesh
The two important features coded in mesh.c are:

Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted
by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops,
it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast
mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number
of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range
of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions
would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1).

Code to support mesh tables.
