2007-10-11[MAC80211]: Improve sanity checks on injected packetsAndy Green1-20/+28
Michael Wu noticed that the skb length checking is not taken care of enough when a packet is presented on the Monitor interface for injection. This patch improves the sanity checking and removes fake offsets placed into the skb network and transport header.

2007-10-11[MAC80211]: implement ERP info change notificationsDaniel Drake5-10/+51

2007-10-11[MAC80211]: improved short preamble handlingDaniel Drake8-30/+88
Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global. For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been restricted to AP-only subifs. ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed. Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions: - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration - ieee80211_rts_duration - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration - ieee80211_rts_get - ieee80211_ctstoself_get Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

2007-10-11[MAC80211]: Add LONG_RETRY flag to ieee80211_tx_controlIvo van Doorn2-1/+8
mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used. Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should be used this is not really useful. This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used. This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets, but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit. But there is no perfect cure for this problem.. :( Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2007-10-11[MAC80211]: STA reassociation improvementsDaniel Drake2-2/+17
My cheapy D-Link AP behaves strangely w.r.t reassociations. The following sequence of commands causes me to lose association and to be unable to regain it: ifconfig eth8 down ifconfig eth8 up iwconfig eth8 essid <x> This is because mac80211 tries to reassociate, rather than just associate. My AP replies with an association response (not a reassociation response...) denying the association with code 12: "Association denied due to reason outside the scope of this standard" mac80211 tries this reassociation another 4 times or so before finally giving up. I see 2 problems here: 1. bringing the interface down and up again should be resetting interface state i.e. after the interface is brought down, it should have no memory of if or where it was previously associated 2. after the first reassociation fails, mac80211 should fall back to standard association for the next attempt Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-10-08[IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast addressBrian Haley1-4/+5
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in ndisc_redirect_rcv(): if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) { on_link = 1; } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) { ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not link-local.\n"); return; } This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 8.1: - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination Address (when redirected to the on-link destination). I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's implied. This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore. The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux passes all 245 tests now.

2007-10-08[TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKedIlpo Järvinen1-0/+3
When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset, therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue eventually anyway. In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed, the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore), thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

2007-10-08fix bogus reporting of signals by auditAl Viro1-11/+11
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

2007-10-08Longhaul: add auto enabled "revid_errata" optionRafal Bilski1-3/+57
VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0 or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to 0, whatever RevisionID is. Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition. It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to be enabled for this processor/system. Same for Longhaul ver. 2 support. It will be disabled if none of above options will work. Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled): longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected. Longhaul v2 supported. longhaul: Using northbridge support. longhaul: VRM 8.5 longhaul: Max VID=1.350 Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV [...] longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled. Worst case scenario: longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected. Powersaver supported. longhaul: Using northbridge support. longhaul: Using ACPI support. longhaul: VRM 8.5 longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency! longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option. longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency! longhaul: Disabling ACPI C3 support. longhaul: Disabling "Ignore Revision ID" option. longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency! longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.

2007-10-08Fix timer_stats printout of events/secAnton Blanchard1-2/+3
When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt accurate. Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration). The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

2007-10-08Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervalsLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide. So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick. Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

2007-10-08VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessaryLinus Torvalds1-2/+2
We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR, so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return EINTR. This can help with X startup issues: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers installed). Keithp has a patch for that. Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
