According to one of Jann's OOPS reports it looks like BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer)) triggers during add_timer() in ax25_start_t1timer().

To fix this the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper" order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar reading without this lock too). So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu. Reported-by: NBernard Pidoux F6BVP <f6bvp@free.fr> Signed-off-by: NJarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

I don't know if this three-thread clutch is very probable (or possible at all), but it seems another bug reported by Bernard ("[...] system impossible to reboot with linux-2.6.24-rc5") could have similar source - namely ax25_list_lock held by ax25_kill_by_device() during ax25_disconnect(). It looks like the only place which calls ax25_disconnect() this way, so I guess, it isn't necessary. This patch is breaking the lock for ax25_disconnect().

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: NEric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting. By virtue of this all socket create methods are touched. In addition the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace. Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe. Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the exotic protocols are supported. Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: NEric W.
