      In cfg80211_scan_request n_channels refers to the total number
      of channels to scan. Update the misleading comment accordingly.

      cfg80211: rework key operation · fffd0934
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
      allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
      after the connection has been established (in managed
      mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
      (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.
      
      In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
      is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
      To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
      CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
      SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
      the connection has been established.
      
      Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
      mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
      it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
      to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
      key authentication.

      net: sock_copy() fixes · 4dc6dc71
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Commit e912b114
      (net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
      took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.
      
      sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
      We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
      we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
      a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
      while not fully (re)initialized.
      
      This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning
      of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job.
      
      We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
      to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
      be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)

      memory barrier: adding smp_mb__after_lock · ad462769

      Making it nop for x86, since {read|write|spin}_lock() on x86 are

      net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks · a57de0b4
      Jiri Olsa 提交于
      Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
      receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
      to wrap the memory barrier.
      
      Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
      The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
      and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
      
      CPU1                         CPU2
      
      sys_select                   receive packet
        ...                        ...
        __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
        ...                        ...
        tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
        ...                        {
        schedule                      ...
                                      if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                              wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                      ...
                                   }
      
      If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
      rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
      
      Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
      passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
      tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
      In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
      waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
      
      The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
      cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
      endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
      socket.
      
      Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
      	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
      	net/irda/af_irda.c
      	net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c

      net: Move rx skb_orphan call to where needed · d55d87fd
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      In order to get the tun driver to account packets, we need to be
      able to receive packets with destructors set.  To be on the safe
      side, I added an skb_orphan call for all protocols by default since
      some of them (IP in particular) cannot handle receiving packets
      destructors properly.
      
      Now it seems that at least one protocol (CAN) expects to be able
      to pass skb->sk through the rx path without getting clobbered.
      
      So this patch attempts to fix this properly by moving the skb_orphan
      call to where it's actually needed.  In particular, I've added it
      to skb_set_owner_[rw] which is what most users of skb->destructor
      call.
      
      This is actually an improvement for tun too since it means that
      we only give back the amount charged to the socket when the skb
      is passed to another socket that will also be charged accordingly.
