ax25: Fix missing break

2012-07-17T06:22:36+00:00

At least there seems to be no reason to disallow ROSE sockets when
NETROM is loaded.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2012-04-24T03:15:17+00:00

Fix merge between commit 3adadc08cc1e ("net ax25: Reorder ax25_exit to
remove races") and commit 0ca7a4c87d27 ("net ax25: Simplify and
cleanup the ax25 sysctl handling")

The former moved around the sysctl register/unregister calls, the
later simply removed them.

With help from Stephen Rothwell.

net ax25: Simplify and cleanup the ax25 sysctl handling.

2012-04-21T01:22:28+00:00

Don't register/unregister every ax25 table in a batch.  Instead register
and unregister per device ax25 sysctls as ax25 devices come and go.

This moves ax25 to be a completely modern sysctl user.  Registering the
sysctls in just the initial network namespace, removing the use of
.child entries that are no longer natively supported by the sysctl core
and taking advantage of the fact that there are no longer any ordering
constraints between registering and unregistering different sysctl
tables.

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.

net ax25: Reorder ax25_exit to remove races.

2012-04-19T19:37:48+00:00

While reviewing the sysctl code in ax25 I spotted races in ax25_exit
where it is possible to receive notifications and packets after already
freeing up some of the data structures needed to process those
notifications and updates.

Call unregister_netdevice_notifier early so that the rest of the cleanup
code does not need to deal with network devices.  This takes advantage
of my recent enhancement to unregister_netdevice_notifier to send
unregister notifications of all network devices that are current
registered.

Move the unregistration for packet types, socket types and protocol
types before we cleanup any of the ax25 data structures to remove the
possibilities of other races.

ax25: avoid overflows in ax25_setsockopt()

2011-12-28T19:08:08+00:00

Commit be639ac6 ("NET: AX.25: Check ioctl arguments to avoid overflows
further down the road") rejects very large arguments, but doesn't
completely fix overflows on 64-bit systems.  Consider the AX25_T2 case.

	int opt;
	...
	if (opt < 1 || opt > ULONG_MAX / HZ) {
		res = -EINVAL;
		break;
	}
	ax25->t2 = opt * HZ;

The 32-bit multiplication opt * HZ would overflow before being assigned
to 64-bit ax25->t2.  This patch changes "opt" to unsigned long.

NET: AX.25: Check ioctl arguments to avoid overflows further down the road.

2011-11-29T05:23:12+00:00

Very large, nonsenical arguments or use in very extreme conditions could
result in integer overflows.  Check ioctls arguments to avoid such
overflows and return -EINVAL for too large arguments.

To allow the use of AX.25 for even the most extreme setup (think packet
radio to the Phase 5E mars probe) we make no further attempt to clamp the
argument range.

Originally reported by Fan Long  and a first patch
was sent by Xi Wang .

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.
