This patch changes mac80211 to verify that VLAN interfaces are valid and not bother drivers about them any more. VLAN interfaces are now only valid when an AP interface is up with the same MAC address, and are automatically turned off when the AP interface is set down. Signed-off-by:

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.

Loopback device is special. It should be initialized at the very beginning. Initialization order has been changed by Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> and this change is non-obvious and important enough to add proper comment. Signed-off-by:

Denis V. Lunev <den@sw.ru> noticed that the locking rules for the network namespace list are over complicated and broken. In particular the current register_netdev_notifier currently does not take any lock making the for_each_net iteration racy with network namespace creation and destruction. Oops. The fact that we need to use for_each_net in rtnl_unlock() when the rtnetlink support becomes per network namespace makes designing the proper locking tricky. In addition we need to be able to call rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() when we have the net_mutex held. After thinking about it and looking at the alternatives carefully it looks like the simplest and most maintainable solution is to remove net_list_mutex altogether, and to use the rtnl_mutex instead.

This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace. Adding code to create a different loopback device for each network namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device when a network namespace exits. This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the code compiling and working. A later pass will be needed to update the users to use something other than the initial network namespace. Signed-off-by:

Now that multiple loopback devices are becoming possible it makes the code a little cleaner and more maintainable to test if a deivice is th a loopback device by testing dev->flags & IFF_LOOPBACK instead of dev == loopback_dev. Signed-off-by:

Eric W. Biederman authored
Currently we never call unregister_netdev for the loopback device so it is impossible for us to reach inetdev_destroy with the loopback device. So the test in inetdev_destroy is unnecessary. Further when testing with my network namespace patches removing unregistering the loopback device and calling inetdev_destroy works fine so there appears to be no reason for avoiding unregistering the loopback device.

This patch allows you to create a new network namespace using sys_clone, or sys_unshare. As the network namespace is still experimental and under development clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is selected at compile time. As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

When sysfs support is compiled out the kernel still keeps and maintains the kobject tree. So it is not safe to skip our kobject reference counting or to avoid becoming members of the kobject tree. It is safe to not add the networking specific sysfs attributes. This patch removes the sysfs special cases from net/core/dev.c renames functions from netdev_sysfs_xxxx to netdev_kobject_xxxx and always compiles in net-sysfs.c net-sysfs.c is modified with a CONFIG_SYSFS guard around the parts that are actually sysfs specific.

Since DCCP requires to close both ends of a connection simultaneously, permission to write in state DCCP_CLOSING is removed in dccp_sendmsg(): * if the sending end closed, it would encounter a write error anyhow; * if the other end has closed the connection, it accepts no more data. Signed-off-by:

This factors code common to dccp_v{4,6}_ctl_send_reset into a separate function, and adds support for filling in the Data 1 ... Data 3 fields from RFC 4340, 5.6. It is useful to have this separate, since the following Reset codes will always be generated from the control socket rather than via dccp_send_reset: * Code 3, "No Connection", cf. 8.3.1; * Code 4, "Packet Error" (identification for Data 1 added); * Code 5, "Option Error" (identification for Data 1..3 added, will be used later); * Code 6, "Mandatory Error" (same as Option Error); * Code 7, "Connection Refused" (what on Earth is the difference to "No Connection"?); * Code 8, "Bad Service Code"; * Code 9, "Too Busy"; * Code 10, "Bad Init Cookie" (not used). Code 0 is not recommended by the RFC, the following codes would be used in dccp_send_reset() instead, since they all relate to an established DCCP connection: * Code 1, "Closed"; * Code 2, "Aborted"; * Code 11, "Aggression Penalty" (12.3).

This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4: "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets, such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second." The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and protects against attacks with forged source addresses. Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.) In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended). The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo. Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're sending a sync.

In this patch, duplicated code is removed for the case when a Reset packet is sent from a connected socket. This code duplication is between dccp_make_reset and dccp_transmit_skb, which already contained an (up to now entirely unused) switch statement to fill in the reset code from the DCCP_SKB_CB. The only thing that has been removed is the call to dst_clone(dst), since the queue_xmit functions use sk_dst_cache anyway. I wasn't sure which purpose inet_sk_rebuild_header served, so I left it in.

This adds fields to support the informational Data 1..3 fields of the DCCP-Reset packets (RFC 4340, 5.6), and makes minor cosmetic changes to documentation. Code which fills in these fields follows in subsequent patches, it is primarily used for reporting option-processing and feature-negotiation errors. Signed-off-by:

This adds a FIXME to signal that the function dccp_send_delayed_ack is nowhere used in the entire DCCP/CCID code. Using a delayed Ack timer is suggested in 11.3 of RFC 4340, but it has also rather subtle implications for the Ack-Ratio-accounting. CCID2 does not use this (maybe it should). I think leaving the function in is good, in case someone wants to implement this. Signed-off-by:

This moves several instances of testing against NULL into the function which is used to de-reference the CCID-private data. Committer note: Made the BUG_ON depend on having CONFIG_IP_DCCP_CCID3_DEBUG, as it is too much to have this on production code. Also made sure that the macro is used only after checking if sk_state is not LISTEN, to make it equivalent to what we had before. Signed-off-by: -

This fixes the code to correspond to RFC 4340, 7.5.4, which states the exception that a Sync received in state REQUEST generates a Reset (not a SyncAck). To achieve this, only a small change is required. Since dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process() already uses the correct Reset Code number 4 ("Packet Error"), we only need to shift the if-statement a few lines further down. (To test this case: replace DCCP_PKT_RESPONSE with DCCP_PKT_SYNC in dccp_make_response.) Signed-off-by: -

In case of ACK reordering, the SACK block might be valid in it's time but is already obsoleted since we've received another kind of confirmation about arrival of the segments through snd_una advancement of an earlier packet. I didn't bother to build distinguishing of valid and invalid SACK blocks but simply made reordered SACK blocks that are too old always not counted regardless of their "real" validity which could be determined by using the ack field of the reordered packet (won't be significant IMHO). DSACKs can very well be considered useful even in this situation, so won't do any of this for them. Signed-off-by:

I previously added checking to position that is rather poor as state has already been adjusted quite a bit. Re-placing it above all state changes should be more robust though the return should never ever get executed regardless of its place :-). Signed-off-by:

The parameter `seq' of dccp_send_sync() is in fact an acknowledgement number and not a sequence number - thus renamed by this patch into `ackno'. Secondly, a `critical' warning is added when a Sync/SyncAck could not be sent. Sanity: I have checked all other functions that are called in dccp_transmit_skb, there are no clashes with the use of dccpd_ack_seq; no other function is using this slot at the same time.

This updates sequence number checking with regard to RFC 4340, 7.5.4. Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets, which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno. This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets. In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows: 1. client establishes connection to server; 2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function); 3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno); 4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno; 5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno; 6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1; 7. goto (5). The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR. This causes the Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7) the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

This patch is in part required by the next patch; it * replaces 6 instances of `DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_seq' with `seqno'; * replaces 7 instances of `DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ack_seq' with `ackno'; * replaces 1 use of dccp_inc_seqno() by unfolding `ADD48' macro in place. No changes in algorithm, all changes are text replacement/substitution. Signed-off-by:

The third parameter of dccp_sample_rtt now becomes useless and is removed. Also combined the subtraction of the timestamp echo and the elapsed time. This is safe, since (a) presence of timestamp echo is tested first and (b) elapsed time is either present and non-zero or it is not set and equals 0 due to the memset in dccp_parse_options. To avoid measuring option-processing time, the timestamp for measuring the initial Request/Response RTT sample is taken directly when the function is called (the Linux implementation always adds a timestamp on the Request, so there is no loss in doing this).
