* phonet: some signedness bugsDan Carpenter2011-01-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dan Rosenberg pointed out that there were some signed comparison bugs in the phonet protocol. http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=129424528425330&w=2 The problem is that we check for array overflows but "protocol" is signed and we don't check for array underflows. If you have already have CAP_SYS_ADMIN then you could use the bugs to get root, or someone could cause an oops by mistake.

* net offloading: Convert checksums to use centrally computed features.Jesse Gross2011-01-091-28/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | In order to compute the features for other offloads (primarily scatter/gather), we need to first check the ability of the NIC to offload the checksum for the packet. Since we have already computed this, we can directly use the result instead of figuring it out again. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net offloading: Convert skb_need_linearize() to use precomputed features.Jesse Gross2011-01-091-15/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This switches skb_need_linearize() to use the features that have been centrally computed. In doing so, this fixes a problem where scatter/gather should not be used because the card does not support checksum offloading on that type of packet. On device registration we only check that some form of checksum offloading is available if scatter/gatther is enabled but we must also check at transmission time. Examples of this include IPv6 or vlan packets on a NIC that only supports IPv4 offloading. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | This switches dev_gso_segment() to use the device features computed by the centralized routine.

* net offloading: Pass features into netif_needs_gso().Jesse Gross2011-01-091-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Now that there is a single function that can compute the device features relevant to a packet, we don't want to run it for each offload. This converts netif_needs_gso() to take the features of the device, rather than computing them itself. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().Jesse Gross2011-01-091-8/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(), so it only concerns itself with GSO features. However, several other places also should take into account the contents of the packet when deciding whether to offload to hardware. This generalizes the function to return features about all of the various forms of offloading. Since offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum logic).

* net offloading: Accept NETIF_F_HW_CSUM for all protocols.Jesse Gross2011-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the TCP/UDP one's complement. This means that a protocol that uses hardware offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time. By the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to apply the one algorithm in software or hardware. NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if present. The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use hardware checksumming.

| * dccp: make upper bound for seq_window consistent on 32/64 bitGerrit Renker2011-01-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'seq_window' sysctl sets the initial value for the DCCP Sequence Window, which may range from 32..2^46-1 (RFC 4340, 7.5.2). The patch sets the upper bound consistently to 2^32-1 on both 32 and 64 bit systems, which should be sufficient - with a RTT of 1sec and 1-byte packets, a seq_window of 2^32-1 corresponds to a link speed of 34 Gbps.

We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup, which often go to the same mount point. The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs that may have taken a reference count. We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less frequently. - check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts). - keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a particular CPU which requires more locking). - keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then, keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references, and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0. This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is a short reference. This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running in them. This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may return a non-zero value on error. In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L' outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the aforementioned function fails. This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is also wrong. This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.

Put a synchronisation into the right place to close that window.

Also, the list entry in the key struct is no longer used that way, so list_del_init() isn't necessary any more there. Finally, ieee80211_key_link() is no longer invoked under RCU read lock, but rather with an appropriate station lock held. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This way, everyone (be it the main rx-path or some reorder release timeout) can add frames to it. Only one active rx handler worker [ieee80211_rx_handlers] is needed. All other threads which have lost the race of "runnning_rx_handler" can now simply "return", knowing that the thread who had the "edge" will also take care of their workload.

The __hci_request function should only return when all of these commands have completed (or a timeout occurs). Several of these commands cause hci_req_complete to be called which causes __hci_request to return prematurely. This patch fixes the issue by adding a new hdev->req_last_cmd variable which is set during the initialization procedure. The hci_req_complete function will no longer mark the request as complete until the command matching hdev->req_last_cmd completes.
