2008-09-09bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zeroStephen Hemminger2-9/+25
Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per second. He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2 and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface. In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts are specifying a hello timer interval of "0". The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

2008-09-08netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: make sure string is terminated before calling ↵Patrick McHardy1-0/+10
simple_strtoul Alexey Dobriyan points out: 1. simple_strtoul() silently accepts all characters for given base even if result won't fit into unsigned long. This is amazing stupidity in itself, but 2. nf_conntrack_irc helper use simple_strtoul() for DCC request parsing. Data first copied into 64KB buffer, so theoretically nothing prevents reading past the end of it, since data comes from network given 1). This is not actually a problem currently since we're guaranteed to have a 0 byte in skb_shared_info or in the buffer the data is copied to, but to make this more robust, make sure the string is actually terminated.

2008-09-03ipsec: Fix deadlock in xfrm_state management.David S. Miller1-9/+23
Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped.

2008-09-03mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruptionJouni Malinen2-4/+6
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

2008-08-27mac80211: don't send empty extended rates IEJan-Espen Pettersen1-1/+1
The association request includes a list of supported data rates. 802.11b: 4 supported rates. 802.11g: 12 (8 + 4) supported rates. 802.11a: 8 supported rates. The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of 802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs. 'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than rates_len would seem more correct.

2008-08-27mac80211: Fix debugfs file add/del for netdevJouni Malinen2-12/+18
Previous version was using incorrect union structures for non-AP interfaces when adding and removing max_ratectrl_rateidx and force_unicast_rateidx entries. Depending on the vif type, this ended up in corrupting debugfs entries since the dentries inside different union structures ended up going being on top of eachother.. As the end result, debugfs files were being left behind with references to freed data (instant kernel oops on access) and directories were not removed properly when unloading mac80211 drivers.

The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors. Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size (IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an extra buffer for hex encoding.

2008-08-23ipv6: protocol for address routesStephen Hemminger1-0/+1
This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected route, and other as a kernel route. When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it already has the connected route. The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol == RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.

2008-08-22pkt_sched: Fix qdisc list lockingJarek Poplawski2-8/+41
Since some qdiscs call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() (so qdisc_lookup()) without rtnl_lock(), adding and deleting from a qdisc list needs additional locking. This patch adds global spinlock qdisc_list_lock and wrapper functions for modifying the list. It is considered as a temporary solution until hfsc_dequeue(), netem_dequeue() and tbf_dequeue() (or qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen()) are redone. With feedback from Herbert Xu and David S. Miller.

dev_deactivate() can skip rescheduling of a qdisc by qdisc_watchdog() or other timer calling netif_schedule() after dev_queue_deactivate(). We prevent this checking aliveness before scheduling the timer. Since during deactivation the root qdisc is available only as qdisc_sleeping additional accessor qdisc_root_sleeping() is created.

2008-08-19pkt_sched: Prevent livelock in TX queue running.David S. Miller1-1/+3
If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock trying to process that queue. This happens because dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock. This breaks the livelock by adding a check on __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when the trylock fails. Based upon feedback from Herbert Xu and Jarek Poplawski. Signed-off-by: David S.
