This patch adds the capability to identify and answer an add block ACK request. As this series of patches only adds HT handling with no aggregations, (A-MPDU aggregations acceptance is not obligatory according to 802.11n draft) we are currently sending back a refusal upon this request.

Interface iteration in mac80211 can be done without holding any locks because I converted it to RCU. Initially, I thought this wouldn't be needed for ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces but it's turning out that multi-BSS AP support can be much simpler in a driver if ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces can be called without holding locks. This converts it to use RCU, it adds a requirement that the callback it invokes cannot sleep. Signed-off-by:

This patch restructures the Rx handlers chain by incorporating previously handlers ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae and ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted into ieee80211_rx_h_data, already in 802.3 form. this scheme follows more precisely after the IEEE802.11 data plane archituecture, and will prevent code duplication to IEEE8021.11n A-MSDU handler. added function: - ieee80211_data_to_8023: transfering 802.11 data frames to 802.3 frame - ieee80211_deliver_skb: delivering the 802.3 frames to upper stack eliminated handlers: - ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted: now function ieee80211_drop_unencrypted - ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae: now function ieee80211_802_1x_pae changed handlers: - ieee80211_rx_h_data: now contains calls to four above function Signed-off-by:

The scan code in mac80211 makes the software scan assumption in various places. For example, we stop the Tx queue during a software scan so that all the Tx packets will be queued by the stack. We also drop frames not related to scan in the software scan process. But these are not true for hardware scan. Some wireless hardwares (for example iwl3945/4965) has the ability to perform the whole scan process by hardware and/or firmware. The hardware scan is relative powerful in that it tries to maintain normal network traffic while doing a scan in the background. Some drivers (i.e iwlwifi) do provide a way to tune the hardware scan parameters (for example if the STA is associated, what's the max time could the STA leave from the associated channel, how long the scans get suspended after returning to the service channel, etc). But basically this is transparent to the stack. mac80211 should not stop Tx queues or drop Rx packets during a hardware scan. This patch resolves the above problem by spliting the current scan indicator local->sta_scanning into local->sta_sw_scanning and local->sta_hw_scanning. It then changes the scan related code to be aware of hardware scan or software scan in various places. With this patch, iwlwifi performs much better in the scan-while-associated condition and disable_hw_scan=1 should never be required.

I moved the call to kmalloc() from the *t declaration into the code (this is confusing when a variable is initialized with the result of some call) and removed unneeded comment near the error path. Just like I did with the neigh ctl-s. Besides, I fixed the goto's and the labels - they were indented with spaces :( Signed-off-by:

Pavel Emelyanov authored
The appropriate path is prepared right inside this function. It is prepared similar to how the ctl tables were. Since the path is modified, it is put on the stack, to avoid possible races with multiple calls to neigh_sysctl_register() : it is called by protocols and I didn't find any protection in this case. Did I overlooked the rtnl lock?. The stack growth of the neigh_sysctl_register() is 40 bytes. I believe this is OK, since this is not that much and this function is not called with the deep stack (device/protocols register). The device's name is stored on the template to free it later. This will help with the net namespaces, as each namespace should have its own set of these ctls. Besides, this saves ~350 bytes from the neigh template :) Signed-off-by:

This mainly removes the err variable, as this call always return the same error code (-ENOBUFS). Besides, I moved the call to kmalloc() from the *t declaration into the code (this is confusing when a variable is initialized with the result of some call) and removed unneeded comment near the error path.

Currently the netmask/prefix-length of an IPsec SPD entry is not included in any of the SPD related audit messages. This can cause a problem when the audit log is examined as the netmask/prefix-length is vital in determining what network traffic is affected by a particular SPD entry. This patch fixes this problem by adding two additional fields, "src_prefixlen" and "dst_prefixlen", to the SPD audit messages to indicate the source and destination netmasks. These new fields are only included in the audit message when the netmask/prefix-length is less than the address length, i.e. the SPD entry applies to a network address and not a host address. Example audit message: type=UNKNOWN[1415] msg=audit(1196105849.752:25): auid=0 \ subj=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op=SPD-add res=1 \ src=192.168.0.0 src_prefixlen=24 dst=192.168.1.0 dst_prefixlen=24 In addition, this patch also fixes a few other things in the xfrm_audit_common_policyinfo() function. The IPv4 string formatting was converted to use the standard NIPQUAD_FMT constant, the memcpy() was removed from the IPv6 code path and replaced with a typecast (the memcpy() was acting as a slow, implicit typecast anyway), and two local variables were created to make referencing the XFRM security context and selector information cleaner.

The user interface is: register_net_sysctl_table and unregister_net_sysctl_table. Very much like the current interface except there is a network namespace parameter. With this any sysctl registered with register_net_sysctl_table will only show up to tasks in the same network namespace. All other sysctls continue to be globally visible. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls. A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have it's own list of sysctl headers. Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace instance. register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional lists of sysctl_headers. As all of the users are expected to be in kernel no unregister function is provided. sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists. __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on a non-default sysctl list. The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table. Signed-off-by:

By doing this we allow users of register_sysctl_paths that build and dynamically allocate their ctl_table to be simpler. This allows them to just remember the ctl_table_header returned from register_sysctl_paths from which they can now find the ctl_table array they need to free. Signed-off-by:

There are a number of modules that register a sysctl table somewhere deeply nested in the sysctl hierarchy, such as fs/nfs, fs/xfs, dev/cdrom, etc. They all specify several dummy ctl_tables for the path name. This patch implements register_sysctl_path that takes an additional path name, and makes up dummy sysctl nodes for each component. This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering. I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine. After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes. .text +897 .data -7008 text data bss dec hex filename 26959310 4045899 4718592 35723801 2211a19 ../vmlinux-vanilla 26960207 4038891 4718592 35717690 221023a ../O-allyesconfig/vmlinux So this change is both a space savings and a code simplification.

This removes a redundant test for unexpected packet types. In dccp_rcv_state_process it is tested twice whether a DCCP-server has received a CloseReq (Step 7): * first in the combined if-statement, * then in the call to dccp_rcv_closereq(). The latter is necesssary since dccp_rcv_closereq() is also called from __dccp_rcv_established(). This patch removes the duplicate test. Signed-off-by:

This adds the necessary state transitions for the two forms of passive-close * PASSIVE_CLOSE - which is entered when a host receives a Close; * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ - which is entered when a client receives a CloseReq. Here is a detailed account of what the patch does in each state. 1) Receiving CloseReq The pseudo-code in 8.5 says: Step 13: Process CloseReq If P.type == CloseReq and S.state < CLOSEREQ, Generate Close S.state := CLOSING Set CLOSING timer. This means we need to address what to do in CLOSED, LISTEN, REQUEST, RESPOND, PARTOPEN, and OPEN. * CLOSED: silently ignore - it may be a late or duplicate CloseReq; * LISTEN/RESPOND: will not appear, since Step 7 is performed first (we know we are the client); * REQUEST: perform Step 13 directly (no need to enqueue packet); * OPEN/PARTOPEN: enter PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ so that the application has a chance to process unread data. When already in PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ, no second CloseReq is enqueued. In any other state, the CloseReq is ignored. I think that this offers some robustness against rare and pathological cases: e.g. a simultaneous close where the client sends a Close and the server a CloseReq. The client will then be retransmitting its Close until it gets the Reset, so ignoring the CloseReq while in state CLOSING is sane. 2) Receiving Close The code below from 8.5 is unconditional. Step 14: Process Close If P.type == Close, Generate Reset(Closed) Tear down connection Drop packet and return Thus we need to consider all states: * CLOSED: silently ignore, since this can happen when a retransmitted or late Close arrives; * LISTEN: dccp_rcv_state_process() will generate a Reset ("No Connection"); * REQUEST: perform Step 14 directly (no need to enqueue packet); * RESPOND: dccp_check_req() will generate a Reset ("Packet Error") -- left it at that; * OPEN/PARTOPEN: enter PASSIVE_CLOSE so that application has a chance to process unread data; * CLOSEREQ: server performed active-close -- perform Step 14; * CLOSING: simultaneous-close: use a tie-breaker to avoid message ping-pong (see comment); * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ: ignore - the peer has a bug (sending first a CloseReq and now a Close); * TIMEWAIT: packet is ignored. Note that the condition of receiving a packet in state CLOSED here is different from the condition "there is no socket for such a connection": the socket still exists, but its state indicates it is unusable. Last, dccp_finish_passive_close sets either DCCP_CLOSED or DCCP_CLOSING = TCP_CLOSING, so that sk_stream_wait_close() will wait for the final Reset (which will trigger CLOSING => CLOSED).

This adds two auxiliary states to deal with passive closes: * PASSIVE_CLOSE (reached from OPEN via reception of Close) and * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ (reached from OPEN via reception of CloseReq) as internal intermediate states. These states are used to allow a receiver to process unread data before acknowledging the received connection-termination-request (the Close/CloseReq). Without such support, it will happen that passively-closed sockets enter CLOSED state while there is still unprocessed data in the queue; leading to unexpected and erratic API behaviour. PASSIVE_CLOSE has been mapped into TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT, so that the code will seamlessly work with inet_accept() (which tests for this state). The state names are thanks to Arnaldo, who suggested this naming scheme following an earlier revision of this patch. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a nasty bug: dccp_send_reset() is called by both DCCPv4 and DCCPv6, but uses inet_sk_rebuild_header() in each case. This leads to unpredictable and weird behaviour: under some conditions, DCCPv6 Resets were sent, in other not. The fix is to use the AF-independent rebuild_header routine. Signed-off-by:

This patch was based on another made by Gerrit Renker, his changelog was: ------------------------------------------------------ The patch set migrates TFRC TX history to a singly-linked list. The details are: * use of a consistent naming scheme (all TFRC functions now begin with `tfrc_'); * allocation and cleanup are taken care of internally; * provision of a lookup function, which is used by the CCID TX infrastructure to determine the time a packet was sent (in turn used for RTT sampling); * integration of the new interface with the present use in CCID3. ------------------------------------------------------ Simplifications I did: . removing the tfrc_tx_hist_head that had a pointer to the list head and another for the slabcache. . No need for creating a slabcache for each CCID that wants to use the TFRC tx history routines, create a single slabcache when the dccp_tfrc_lib module init routine is called. Signed-off-by: -

1) Skip condition used to be wrong way around which made SACK processing very broken, missed many blocks because of that. 2) Use highest_sack advancement only if some skbs are already sacked because otherwise tcp_write_queue_next may move things too far (occurs mainly with GSO). The other similar advancement is not problem because highest_sack was previosly put to point a sacked skb. These problems were located because of problem report from Matt Mathis <mathis@psc.edu>.

This patch includes support for the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) per RFC4214. It uses the SIT module, and is configured using extensions to the "iproute2" utility. The diffs are specific to the Linux 2.6.24-rc2 kernel distribution. This version includes the diff for ./include/linux/if.h which was missing in the v2.4 submission and is needed to make the patch compile. The patch has been installed, compiled and tested in a clean 2.6.24-rc2 kernel build area. Signed-off-by:
