| * net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregisterBen Hutchings2011-02-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is destroyed. Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All the cleanup code in mqprio_destroy() is currently conditional on priv->qdiscs being non-null, but that condition should only apply to the per-queue qdisc cleanup.

* | ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.David S. Miller2011-02-151-94/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that we do not generate the redirect netevent any longer, because we don't create a new cached route. Instead, once the new neighbour is bound to the cached route, we emit a neigh update event instead. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.David S. Miller2011-02-151-174/+86
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we bump the peer genid. This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics. Learned PMTU information self-expires. This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route entry just because the PMTU information is too old. As a consequence: 1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route. A redirected route will still be invalidated in these situations. 2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer necessary at all. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | ROSE: AX25: finding routes simplificationBernard Pidoux2011-02-141-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With previous patch, rose_get_neigh() routine investigates the full list of neighbor nodes until it finds or not an already connected node whether it is called locally or through a level 3 transit frame. If no routes are opened through an adjacent connected node then a classical connect request is attempted. Then there is no more reason for an extra loop such as the one removed by this patch.

* | ROSE: rose AX25 packet routing improvementBernard Pidoux2011-02-141-12/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes. Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when a connect request to a neighbor node is received. A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at already established routes each time the system was looking for a route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination address was already connected, then the frame would be sent through him. If not, a connection request would be issued. The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node. Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node. Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The two fragments of an unicast packet must have successive sequence numbers to allow the receiver side to detect matching fragments and merge them again. The current implementation doesn't provide that property because a sequence of two atomic_inc_return may be interleaved with another sequence which also changes the variable. The access to the fragment sequence number pool has either to be protected by correct locking or it has to reserve two sequence numbers in a single fetch. The latter one can easily be done by increasing the value of the last used sequence number by 2 in a single step. The generated window of two currently unused sequence numbers can now be scattered across the two fragments.

* | | inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.David S. Miller2011-02-102-3/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example PMTU information and redirects. The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc. Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry. If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry. The facilities implemented here handle this problem. First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path information, we bump that generation ID. The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the route's generation ID too. This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached route information in order to maintain this information. At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | | inetpeer: Add redirect and PMTU discovery cached info.David S. Miller2011-02-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Validity of the cached PMTU information is indicated by it's expiration value being non-zero, just as per dst->expires. The scheme we will use is that we will remember the pre-ICMP value held in the metrics or route entry, and then at expiration time we will restore that value. In this way PMTU expiration does not kill off the cached route as is done currently. Redirect information is permanent, or at least until another redirect is received. Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit aa9421041128abb4d269ee1dc502ff65fb3b7d69 ("net: init ingress queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late. The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup() callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the queues. Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback runs. This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations, etc.). It may, however, make state changes that are undone by free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the ipoib driver's setup routine). The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace object on RX/TX queue allocation failures. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is no cleanup mechanism available at this point. So we have to add the caif private instance to the global list once we are sure that register_netdev() has succedded in ->newlink(). Otherwise, if register_netdev() fails, the caller will invoke free_netdev() and we will have a reference to freed up memory on the chnl_net_list. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Fix this by keeping track of the hw_roc_skb pointer just for the status processing and use the correct cookie to report in this case. We can't use the hw_roc_skb pointer itself because it is NULL'ed when the frame is transmitted to prevent it being used twice. This fixes a bug where the P2P state machine in the supplicant gets stuck because it never gets a correct result for its transmitted frame.

This is not RFC compliant (see RFC4302, Section 3.3.3.2.1), it should be aligned on 32 bits. For most of the authentication algorithms, the ICV size is 96 bits. The AH header alignment on 32 or 64 bits gives the same results. However for SHA-256-128 for instance, the wrong 64 bit alignment results in adding useless padding in IPv4 AH, which is forbidden by the RFC. To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we use a new flag (XFRM_STATE_ALIGN4) do change original behavior.

Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work, and disable it when we are done. * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead. * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel. * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms, so seems like some useful beaconing could happen. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software scan, and disable it when we are done. * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc. * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local channel, so that mlme can take a look.

| * | | | | | mac80211: do not restart ps timer during scan or offchannelRajkumar Manoharan2011-02-041-1/+4

Till sending ack for the nullfunc, AP continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by the following warning.

The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic and of course, they might miss it completely. It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

| * | | | | | mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIPJouni Malinen2011-02-032-1/+108

In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for convenient use. The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211 netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only when associated and using TKIP.

However, we are now taking care of the TX/RX MIC key swapping in user space, so this code will not be needed. Similarly, there were some remaining WPA testing code that won't be used in their current form. Remove the unneeded extra complexity.

This makes it impossible for mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames. Implement a HW flag to indicate that mac80211 should ignore the PM bit. In addition, expose ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to make low-level drivers capable of controlling PS-mode. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov <arik@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
