Revert "rose: zero length frame filtering in af_rose.c"

2009-06-15T16:39:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6fd4777a1fec1f7757b5a302ad3fdcc1eae2abba ]

This reverts commit 244f46ae6e9e18f6fc0be7d1f49febde4762c34b.

Alan Cox did the research, and just like the other radio protocols
zero-length frames have meaning because at the top level ROSE is
X.25 PLP.

So this zero-length filtering is invalid.

af_rose/x25: Sanity check the maximum user frame size

2009-04-27T17:36:57+00:00

upstream commit: 83e0bbcbe2145f160fbaa109b0439dae7f4a38a9

CVE-2009-0795.

Otherwise we can wrap the sizes and end up sending garbage.

Closes #10423

Fixed trivial IPv4/6 address printing conflicts in fs/cifs/connect.c due
to the conversion to %pI (in this networking merge) and the addition of
doing IPv6 addresses (from the earlier merge of CIFS).

rose: zero length frame filtering in af_rose.c

2008-11-25T08:56:20+00:00

Since changeset e79ad711a0108475c1b3a03815527e7237020b08 from  mainline,
>From David S. Miller,
empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols.

However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram.

Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol.
Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment,
ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket.
When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding,
for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else.
We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are
willing to debug it.
But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol,
we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data.

The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel.

CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the ROSE protocol

2008-11-13T23:39:08+00:00

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

net: '&' redux

2008-11-04T02:21:05+00:00

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &
will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
compilation.

So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy
handler, it was never needed in fact.

netdev: Handle ->addr_list_lock just like ->_xmit_lock for lockdep.

2008-07-22T21:16:42+00:00

The new address list lock needs to handle the same device layering
issues that the _xmit_lock one does.

This integrates work done by Patrick McHardy.

netns: Use net_eq() to compare net-namespaces for optimization.

Without CONFIG_NET_NS, namespace is always &init_net.
Compiler will be able to omit namespace comparisons with this patch.
