This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

mac80211 currently assumes init_net for all interfaces, so really will not cope well with network namespaces, at least at this time. To change this, we would have keep track of the netns in addition to the ifindex, which is not something I want to think about right now.

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

Fix regression introduded by commit 079aa88f (netfilter: xt_recent: IPv6 support): From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12753: Problem Description: An uninitialized buffer causes IPv4 addresses added manually (via the +IP command to the proc interface) to never match any packets. Similarly, the -IP command fails to remove IPv4 addresses. Details: In the function recent_entry_lookup, the xt_recent module does comparisons of the entire nf_inet_addr union value, both for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For addresses initialized from actual packets the remaining 12 bytes not occupied by the IPv4 are zeroed so this works correctly. However when setting the nf_inet_addr addr variable in the recent_mt_proc_write function, only the IPv4 bytes are initialized and the remaining 12 bytes contain garbage. Hence addresses added in this way never match any packets, unless these uninitialized 12 bytes happened to be zero by coincidence. Similarly, addresses cannot consistently be removed using the proc interface due to mismatch of the garbage bytes (although it will sometimes work to remove an address that was added manually). Reading the /proc/net/xt_recent/ entries hides this problem because this only uses the first 4 bytes when displaying IPv4 addresses. Steps to reproduce: $ iptables -I INPUT -m recent --rcheck -j LOG $ echo +169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 [At this point no packets from 169.254.156.239 are being logged.] $ iptables -I INPUT -s 169.254.156.239 -m recent --set $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126184 oldest_pkt: 4 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184 [At this point, adding the address via an iptables rule, packets are being logged correctly.] $ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992 $ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT $ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910 src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992 [Removing the address via /proc interface failed evidently.] Possible solutions: - initialize the addr variable in recent_mt_proc_write - compare only 4 bytes for IPv4 addresses in recent_entry_lookup Signed-off-by: NPatrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets while there were still packets in the network namespace. Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing packet reception run a little faster. Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have a chance of figuring it out. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called. The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems so this error should have been impossible. It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible. Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in my testing. Signed-off-by: NEric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: NDenis V.

This patch fix a double free when a network namespace fails. The previous code does a kfree of the net_generic structure when one of the init subsystem initialization fails. The 'setup_net' function does kfree(ng) and returns an error. The caller, 'copy_net_ns', call net_free on error, and this one calls kfree(net->gen), making this pointer freed twice. This patch make the code symetric, the net_alloc does the net_generic allocation and the net_free frees the net_generic.

Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the sequence number of a packet. This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification (though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible. Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up. Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data. Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet. The only potential downside is that applications on the remote end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since the signal itself does not carry any information other than the fact that we're in urgent mode.

This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast() return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set, netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers should do. This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy. Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).
