mac80211: verify that skb data is present

2012-11-17T21:18:31+00:00

commit 9b395bc3be1cebf0144a127c7e67d56dbdac0930 upstream.

A number of places in the mesh code don't check that
the frame data is present and in the skb header when
trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary
pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data
that doesn't actually exist.

To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be
able to use it in mac80211.

cfg80211/mac80211: avoid state mishmash on deauth

2012-10-31T17:10:31+00:00

commit 6863255bd0e48bc41ae5a066d5c771801e92735a upstream.

Avoid situation when we are on associate state in mac80211 and
on disassociate state in cfg80211. This can results on crash
during modules unload (like showed on this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=134373976300001&r=1&w=2) and possibly other
problems.

ipv4: Add FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH

2012-10-28T17:56:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit c92b96553a80c1dbe2ebe128bbe37c8f98f148bf ]

Add flag to request that output route should be
returned with known rt_gateway, in case we want to use
it as nexthop for neighbour resolving.

	The returned route can be cached as follows:

- in NH exception: because the cached routes are not shared
	with other destinations
- in FIB NH: when using gateway because all destinations for
	NH share same gateway

	As last option, to return rt_gateway!=0 we have to
set DST_NOCACHE.

ipv4: introduce rt_uses_gateway

2012-10-28T17:56:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 155e8336c373d14d87a7f91e356d85ef4b93b8f9 ]

Add new flag to remember when route is via gateway.
We will use it to allow rt_gateway to contain address of
directly connected host for the cases when DST_NOCACHE is
used or when the NH exception caches per-destination route
without DST_NOCACHE flag, i.e. when routes are not used for
other destinations. By this way we force the neighbour
resolving to work with the routed destination but we
can use different address in the packet, feature needed
for IPVS-DR where original packet for virtual IP is routed
via route to real IP.

ipv4: add a fib_type to fib_info

2012-10-12T20:50:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit f4ef85bbda96324785097356336bc79cdd37db0a ]

commit d2d68ba9fe8 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.)
introduced a regression for forwarding.

This was hard to reproduce but the symptom was that packets were
delivered to local host instead of being forwarded.

David suggested to add fib_type to fib_info so that we dont
inadvertently share same fib_info for different purposes.

With help from Julian Anastasov who provided very helpful
hints, reproduced here :


        Can it be a problem related to fib_info reuse
from different routes. For example, when local IP address
is created for subnet we have:

broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev DEV  proto kernel  scope link  src
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.0/24 dev DEV  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.1
local 192.168.0.1 dev DEV  proto kernel  scope host  src 192.168.0.1

        The "dev DEV  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.0.1" is
a reused fib_info structure where we put cached routes.
The result can be same fib_info for 192.168.0.255 and
192.168.0.0/24. RTN_BROADCAST is cached only for input
routes. Incoming broadcast to 192.168.0.255 can be cached
and can cause problems for traffic forwarded to 192.168.0.0/24.
So, this patch should solve the problem because it
separates the broadcast from unicast traffic.

        And the ip_route_input_slow caching will work for
local and broadcast input routes (above routes 1 and 3) just
because they differ in scope and use different fib_info.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "More bug fixes, nothing gets past these guys"

 1) More kernel info leaks found by Mathias Krause, this time in the
    IPSEC configuration layers.

 2) When IPSEC policies change, we do not properly make sure that cached
    routes (which could now be stale) throughout the system will be
    revalidated.  Fix this by generalizing the generation count
    invalidation scheme used by ipv4.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

 3) When repairing TCP sockets, we need to allow to restore not just the
    send window scale, but the receive one too.  Extend the existing
    interface to achieve this in a backwards compatible way.  From
    Andrey Vagin.

 4) A fix for FCOE scatter gather feature validation erroneously caused
    scatter gather to be disabled for things like AOE too.  From Ed L
    Cashin.

 5) Several cases of mishandling of error pointers, from Mathias Krause,
    Wei Yongjun, and Devendra Naga.

 6) Fix gianfar build, from Richard Cochran.

 7) CAP_NET_* failures should return -EPERM not -EACCES, from Zhao
    Hongjiang.

 8) Hardware reset fix in janz-ican3 CAN driver, from Ira W Snyder.

 9) Fix oops during rmmod in ti_hecc CAN driver, from Marc Kleine-Budde.

10) The removal of the conditional compilation of the clk support code
    in the stmmac driver broke things.  This is because the interfaces
    used are the ones that don't also perform the enable/disable of the
    clk.  Fix from Stefan Roese.

11) The QFQ packet scheduler can record out of range virtual start
    times, resulting later in misbehavior and even crashes.  Fix from
    Paolo Valente.

12) If MSG_WAITALL is used with IOAT DMA under TCP, we can wedge the
    receiver when the advertised receive window goes to zero.  Detect
    this case and force the processing of the IOAT DMA queue when it
    happens to avoid getting stuck.  Fix from Michal Kubecek.

13) batman-adv assumes that test_bit() returns only 0 or 1, but this is
    not true for x86 (which returns -1 or 0, via the 'sbb' instruction).
    Fix from Linus Lussing.

14) Fix small packet corruption in e1000, from Tushar Dave.

15) make_blackhole() in the IPSEC policy code can do one read unlock too
    many, fix from Li RongQing.

16) The new tcp_try_coalesce() code introduced a bug in TCP URG
    handling, fix from Eric Dumazet.

17) Fix memory leak in __netif_receive_skb() when doing zerocopy and
    when hit an OOM condition.  From Michael S Tsirkin.

18) netxen blindly deferences pdev->bus->self, which is not guarenteed
    to be non-NULL.  Fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov.

19) Fix a performance regression caused by mistakes in ipv6 checksum
    validation in the bnx2x driver, fix from Michal Schmidt.

ipv6: use net->rt_genid to check dst validity

2012-09-18T19:57:03+00:00

IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or
deleted, all dst should be invalidated.
To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to
DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling
ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy().

As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock.

include/net/sock.h: squelch compiler warning in sk_rmem_schedule()

This warning:

is seen with gcc (GCC) 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) using the
-Wextra option.

Commit c76562b6709f ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock")
accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an
unsigned int.  This changes the semantics of the comparison in the
return statement.

In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.

Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
the same.
