ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix return of netdev notifier

2016-02-23T19:29:40+00:00

This patch fixed the return value of netdev notifier. If the command is a don't care a NOTIFY_DONE should be returned. If the command matched a NOTIFY_OK should be returned. Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

sock: struct proto hash function may error

2016-02-11T08:54:14+00:00

In order to support fast reuseport lookups in TCP, the hash function defined in struct proto must be capable of returning an error code. This patch changes the function signature of all related hash functions to return an integer and handles or propagates this return value at all call sites.

6lowpan: add lowpan dev register helpers

2015-12-10T00:25:25+00:00

This patch introduces register and unregister functionality for lowpan interfaces. While register a lowpan interface there are several things which need to be initialize by the 6lowpan subsystem. Upcoming functionality need to register/unregister per interface components e.g. debugfs entry. Reviewed-by: Stefan Schmidt Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

net: fix percpu memory leaks

2015-11-03T03:47:14+00:00

This patch fixes following problems : 1) percpu_counter_init() can return an error, therefore init_frag_mem_limit() must propagate this error so that inet_frags_init_net() can do the same up to its callers. 2) If ip[46]_frags_ns_ctl_register() fail, we must unwind properly and free the percpu_counter. Without this fix, we leave freed object in percpu_counters global list (if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) leading to crashes.

ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix memory leak

2015-10-22T10:24:42+00:00

Looking at current situation of memory management in 6lowpan receive function I detected some invalid handling. After calling lowpan_invoke_rx_handlers we will do a kfree_skb and then NET_RX_DROP on error handling. We don't do this before, also on skb_share_check/skb_unshare which might manipulate the reference counters. After running some 'grep -r "dev_add_pack" net/' to look how others packet-layer receive callbacks works I detected that every subsystem do a kfree_skb, then NET_RX_DROP without calling skb functions which might manipulate the skb reference counters. This is the reason why we should do the same here like all others subsystems. I didn't find any documentation how the packet-layer receive callbacks handle NET_RX_DROP return values either. This patch will add a kfree_skb, then NET_RX_DROP handling for the "trivial checks", in case of skb_share_check/skb_unshare the kfree_skb call will be done inside these functions.

6lowpan: remove lowpan_is_addr_broadcast

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This macro is used at 802.15.4 6LoWPAN only and can be replaced by memcmp with the interface broadcast address. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

6lowpan: move IPHC functionality defines

2015-10-20T22:49:25+00:00

This patch removes the IPHC related defines for doing bit manipulation from global 6lowpan header to the iphc file which should the only one implementation which use these defines. Also move next header compression defines to their nhc implementation. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

6lowpan: cleanup lowpan_header_decompress

2015-10-20T22:49:24+00:00

This patch changes the lowpan_header_decompress function by removing inklayer related information from parameters. This is currently for supporting short and extended address for iphc handling in 802154. We don't support short address handling anyway right now, but there exists already code for handling short addresses in lowpan_header_decompress. The address parameters are also changed to a void pointer, so 6LoWPAN linklayer specific code can put complex structures as these parameters and cast it again inside the generic code by evaluating linklayer type before. The order is also changed by destination address at first and then source address, which is the same like all others functions where destination is always the first, memcpy, dev_hard_header, lowpan_header_compress, etc. This patch also moves the fetching of iphc values from 6LoWPAN linklayer specific code into the generic branch.

6lowpan: cleanup lowpan_header_compress

2015-10-20T22:49:24+00:00

This patch changes the lowpan_header_compress function by removing unused parameters like "len" and drop static value parameters of protocol type. Instead we really check the protocol type inside inside the skb structure. Also we drop the use of IEEE802154_ADDR_LEN which is link-layer specific. Instead we using EUI64_ADDR_LEN which should always the default case for now. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring Acked-by: Jukka Rissanen Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann
