Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to correctly NAT protocol-specific data. In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so. Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system had to perform a linear scan through the rules. If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take place in the routing subsystem to make this practical. For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim. The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time. The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

When ieee80211_hw.config indicates that the radio is enabled and is configuring options that require the link tuner to be restarted the link tuner will cause a kernel panic when rfkill has indicated the radio was in fact disabled.

As pointed out by Modestas Vainius the link tuner could continue working while the radio is already down. This because at the start of disable_radio the ENABLED_RADIO flag is cleared and causes the toggle_rx to skip the stop_link_tuner() call. This will add a check to the start of the link tuner which will automatically stop the link tuner when the radio is disabled. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

By increasing the timeout for rt2x00usb_vendor_request, we should limit the number of loops required to send a signal to the device succefully. 500ms timeout is specified by the Ralink legacy drivers for rt2500usb. For rt73usb 1000ms is specified, but that includes the timeout for the firmware which is already specified in a different define.

Florian Lohoff noticed a bug in mac80211: when bringing the master interface down while other virtual interfaces are up we call dev_close() under a spinlock which is not allowed. This patch removes the sub_if_lock used by mac80211 in favour of using an RCU list. All list manipulations are already done under rtnl so are well protected against each other, and the read-side locks we took in the RX and TX code are already in RCU read-side critical sections.

This patch changes mac80211 to verify that VLAN interfaces are valid and not bother drivers about them any more. VLAN interfaces are now only valid when an AP interface is up with the same MAC address, and are automatically turned off when the AP interface is set down.

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.

Denis V. Lunev <den@sw.ru> noticed that the locking rules for the network namespace list are over complicated and broken. In particular the current register_netdev_notifier currently does not take any lock making the for_each_net iteration racy with network namespace creation and destruction. Oops. The fact that we need to use for_each_net in rtnl_unlock() when the rtnetlink support becomes per network namespace makes designing the proper locking tricky. In addition we need to be able to call rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() when we have the net_mutex held. After thinking about it and looking at the alternatives carefully it looks like the simplest and most maintainable solution is to remove net_list_mutex altogether, and to use the rtnl_mutex instead.

This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace. Adding code to create a different loopback device for each network namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device when a network namespace exits. This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the code compiling and working. A later pass will be needed to update the users to use something other than the initial network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently we never call unregister_netdev for the loopback device so it is impossible for us to reach inetdev_destroy with the loopback device. So the test in inetdev_destroy is unnecessary. Further when testing with my network namespace patches removing unregistering the loopback device and calling inetdev_destroy works fine so there appears to be no reason for avoiding unregistering the loopback device.
