* l2tp: avoid deadlock in l2tp stats updateTom Parkin2013-03-201-44/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | l2tp's u64_stats writers were incorrectly synchronised, making it possible to deadlock a 64bit machine running a 32bit kernel simply by sending the l2tp code netlink commands while passing data through l2tp sessions. Previous discussion on netdev determined that alternative solutions such as spinlock writer synchronisation or per-cpu data would bring unjustified overhead, given that most users interested in high volume traffic will likely be running 64bit kernels on 64bit hardware. As such, this patch replaces l2tp's use of u64_stats with atomic_long_t, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of error, the function genlmsg_put() returns NULL pointer not ERR_PTR().

* | netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusionEric W. Biederman2012-09-101-12/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid. I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to userspace to avoid changing the userspace API. I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

* net: Use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in combination with nlmsg_new()Thomas Graf2012-06-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using NLMSG_GOODSIZE results in multiple pages being used as nlmsg_new() will automatically add the size of the netlink header to the payload thus exceeding the page limit. NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE takes this into account.

* genetlink: Build a generic netlink family module aliasNeil Horman2012-05-291-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic netlink searches for -type- formatted aliases when requesting a module to fulfill a protocol request (i.e. net-pf-16-proto-16-type-<x>, where x is a type value). However generic netlink protocols have no well defined type numbers, they have string names. Modify genl_ctrl_getfamily to request an alias in the format net-pf-16-proto-16-family-<x> instead, where x is a generic string, and add a macro that builds on the previously added MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME macro to allow modules to specifify those generic strings. Note, l2tp previously hacked together an net-pf-16-proto-16-type-l2tp alias using the MODULE_ALIAS macro, with these updates we can convert that to use the PROTO_NAME macro.

* l2tp: Add support for static unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnelsJames Chapman2010-04-031-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for static (unmanaged) L2TPv3 tunnels, where the tunnel socket is created by the kernel rather than being created by userspace. This means L2TP tunnels and sessions can be created manually, without needing an L2TP control protocol implemented in userspace. This might be useful where the user wants a simple ethernet over IP tunnel. A patch to iproute2 adds a new command set under "ip l2tp" to make use of this feature. This will be submitted separately.

* l2tp: Add netlink control API for L2TPJames Chapman2010-04-031-0/+830
In L2TPv3, we need to create/delete/modify/query L2TP tunnel and session contexts. The number of parameters is significant. So let's use netlink. Userspace uses this API to control L2TP tunnel/session contexts in the kernel. The previous pppol2tp driver was managed using [gs]etsockopt(). This API is retained for backwards compatibility. Unlike L2TPv2 which carries only PPP frames, L2TPv3 can carry raw ethernet frames or other frame types and these do not always have an associated socket family. Therefore, we need a way to use L2TP sessions that doesn't require a socket type for each supported frame type. Hence netlink is used.
