commit 1dacc76d0014 (net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks) introduced a race condition on netlink, in case MSG_PEEK is used.

2010-07-25sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment typeStefan Assmann1-0/+2
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs. This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses. For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned) MAC addresses. For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the device path instead of the MAC address. There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware of the fact. This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

2010-07-21mac80211: proper IBSS lockingJohannes Berg2-50/+54
IBSS has never had locking, instead relying on some memory barriers etc. That's hard to get right, and I think we had it wrong too until the previous patch. Since this is not performance sensitive, it doesn't make sense to have the maintenance overhead of that, so add proper locking.

2010-07-21mac80211: fix IBSS lockdep complaintJohannes Berg1-5/+14
Bob reported a lockdep complaint originating in the mac80211 IBSS code due to the common work struct patch. The reason is that the IBSS and station mode code have different locking orders for the cfg80211 wdev lock and the work struct (where "locking" implies running/canceling). Fix this by simply not canceling the work in the IBSS code, it is not necessary since when the REQ_RUN bit is cleared, the work will run without effect if it runs. When the interface is set down, it is flushed anyway, so there's no concern about it running after memory has been invalidated either. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16419 Additionally, looking into this I noticed that there's a small window while the IBSS is torn down in which the work may be rescheduled and the REQ_RUN bit be set again after leave() has cleared it when a scan finishes at exactly the same time. Avoid that by setting the ssid_len to zero before clearing REQ_RUN which signals to the scan finish code that this interface is not active.

So if a userspace program uses sysfs uevents to detect new phy devices, and queries nl80211 to get phy info, it can get ENODEV even though the phy exists in sysfs.

2010-07-21mac80211: move QoS-enable to BSS infoJohannes Berg3-12/+10
Ever since commit e1b3ec1a2a336c328c336cfa5485a5f0484cc90d Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Mon Mar 29 12:18:34 2010 +0200 mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not. However, this is only relevant for station mode, since only then will any device send nullfunc frames and need to know whether they should be QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are (currently) no frames the device is supposed to send. When you now consider virtual interfaces, it becomes apparent that the current mechanism is inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has to be on a per-interface scale. Due to the above considerations, we can change the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

2010-07-19net: support time stamping in phy devices.Richard Cochran5-1/+144
This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are deferred for later delivery by the driver. The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may optionally implement these functions.

2010-07-19vlan_dev: VLAN 0 should be treated as "no vlan tag" (802.1p packet)Pedro Garcia3-49/+86
- Without the 8021q module loaded in the kernel, all 802.1p packets (VLAN 0 but QoS tagging) are silently discarded (as expected, as the protocol is not loaded). - Without this patch in 8021q module, these packets are forwarded to the module, but they are discarded also if VLAN 0 is not configured, which should not be the default behaviour, as VLAN 0 is not really a VLANed packet but a 802.1p packet. Defining VLAN 0 makes it almost impossible to communicate with mixed 802.1p and non 802.1p devices on the same network due to arp table issues. - Changed logic to skip vlan specific code in vlan_skb_recv if VLAN is 0 and we have not defined a VLAN with ID 0, but we accept the packet with the encapsulated proto and pass it later to netif_rx. - In the vlan device event handler, added some logic to add VLAN 0 to HW filter in devices that support it (this prevented any traffic in VLAN 0 to reach the stack in e1000e with HW filter under 2.6.35, and probably also with other HW filtered cards, so we fix it here). - In the vlan unregister logic, prevent the elimination of VLAN 0 in devices with HW filter. - The default behaviour is to ignore the VLAN 0 tagging and accept the packet as if it was not tagged, but we can still define a VLAN 0 if desired (so it is backwards compatible).

The input handler for Type 2 Routing Header (mip6_rthdr_input()) checks if the CoA in the packet matches the CoA in the XFRM state. Current check is buggy: it compares the adddress in the Type 2 Routing Header, i.e. the HoA, against the expected CoA in the state. The comparison should be made against the address in the destination field of the IPv6 header.

2010-07-15net: fix problem in reading sock TX queueTom Herbert1-4/+3
Fix problem in reading the tx_queue recorded in a socket. In dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get. The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit. We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper checks. The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it returns -1. sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be completely removed.
