mac80211: verify that skb data is present

2012-10-26T20:52:42+00:00

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

2012-10-15T15:21:34+00:00

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

2012-10-08T21:42:36+00:00

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

2012-10-08T21:42:36+00:00

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.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "The most important bit in here is the fix for input route caching from
  Eric Dumazet, it's a shame we couldn't fully analyze this in time for
  3.6 as it's a 3.6 regression introduced by the routing cache removal.

  Anyways, will send quickly to -stable after you pull this in.

  Other changes of note:

   1) Fix lockdep splats in team and bonding, from Eric Dumazet.

   2) IPV6 adds link local route even when there is no link local
      address, from Nicolas Dichtel.

   3) Fix ixgbe PTP implementation, from Jacob Keller.

   4) Fix excessive stack usage in cxgb4 driver, from Vipul Pandya.

   5) MAC length computed improperly in VLAN demux, from Antonio
      Quartulli."

sctp: check src addr when processing SACK to update transport state

2012-10-04T19:53:48+00:00

Suppose we have an SCTP connection with two paths. After connection is
established, path1 is not available, thus this path is marked as inactive. Then
traffic goes through path2, but for some reasons packets are delayed (after
rto.max). Because packets are delayed, the retransmit mechanism will switch
again to path1. At this time, we receive a delayed SACK from path2. When we
update the state of the path in sctp_check_transmitted(), we do not take into
account the source address of the SACK, hence we update the wrong path.

ipv4: add a fib_type to fib_info

2012-10-04T17:58:26+00:00

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.
