2012-03-05ppp: Move ioctl definitions from if_ppp.h to new ppp-ioctl.hPaul Mackerras7-181/+129
This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h. The new file has my copyright since I designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s. None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h published by Carnegie Mellon University. Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical). Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h> which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code. Thus I have removed the CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other copyright notice.

2012-03-05ppp: Change copyright notices from ANU to mePaul Mackerras3-94/+12
This changes the copyright notices on the PPP code that I developed in the late 1990s from being copyright The Australian National University to copyright Paul Mackerras. I can do this as I have an acknowledgement in writing from the Head of the Computer Science Department at ANU (where I worked then) that ANU does not claim any intellectual property in this code. While I'm at it, change the copyright notice from BSD-style to GNU GPL like the rest of the kernel. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-03-03dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setupSamuel Jero5-20/+32
This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake. The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the budding connection to be reset. This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.

2012-02-29tg3: Fix tg3_get_stats64 for 5700 / 5701 devsMatt Carlson1-22/+23
tg3_get_stats64() takes tp->lock when dealing with non-serdes bcm5700 and bcm5701 devices. However, functions that call tg3_halt() have already acquired tp->lock. When tg3_get_stats64() is called in tg3_halt(), deadlock will occur. This patch fixes the problem by separating the stat gathering code into a new tg3_get_nstats() function. tg3_get_stats64() is recoded to call this function and take tp->lock. The code that takes tp->lock in tg3_calc_crc_errors() has been removed. Function signatures have been cleaned up too.

2012-02-29tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skbNeal Cardwell1-8/+10
When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(), leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just 1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger). This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the highest SACKed sequence. Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

From Nikola Pajkovsky. 24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix from Michel Machado. 25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer allocated by properly written netlink applications. In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of GLIBC stop working. To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the mere presence of VFs on a network device.
