      mac80211: detect driver tx bugs · ef3a62d2
      Johannes Berg authored
      When a driver rejects a frame in it's ->tx() callback, it must also
      stop queues, otherwise mac80211 can go into a loop here. Detect this
      situation and abort the loop after five retries, warning about the
      driver bug.

      netlink: genl: fix circular locking · 6d1a3fb5
      Patrick McHardy authored
      genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
      families:
      
      - dump start:
      genl_rcv()            : take genl_mutex
      genl_rcv_msg()        : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
      netlink_dump_start(),
      netlink_dump()        : take nlk->cb_mutex
      ctrl_dumpfamily()     : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
                              second time
      
      - dump continuance:
      netlink_rcv()         : call netlink_dump
      netlink_dump          : take nlk->cb_mutex
      ctrl_dumpfamily()     : take genl_mutex
      
      Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
      widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
      dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
      seperate fix for this.

      netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow · dad9b335
      Wang Chen authored
      Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow.
      Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a
      positive @inc will cause allmulti be off.
      This is not what we want, though it's rare case.
      The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off
      and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error.
      
      Change of v2:
      Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int.
      So callers can get the overflow error.
      Caller's fix will be done later.
      
      Change of v3:
      1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR,
      KERN_WARNING is enough.
      2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we
      return at once.

      Revert "mac80211: Use skb_header_cloned() on TX path." · 3a5be7d4
      David S. Miller authored
      This reverts commit 608961a5.
      
      The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to
      muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of
      the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption.
      
      This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903.  Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
      bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
      bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
      trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).
      
      In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
      skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
      tx->key.  The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a
      model for implementation.

      In order to more easily grep for all things that set

      af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/ connected DGRAM sockets · 3c73419c
      Rainer Weikusat authored
      The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude)
      form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the
      receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value
      stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking
      the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning
      EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET
      sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is
      datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable
      by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams
      owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This
      is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the
      abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full.
      'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but
      a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an
      (usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request
      with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum.
      
      The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll
      routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the
      recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently
      considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket
      writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally
      put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the
      unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a
      datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly
      as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll
      because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever
      if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue.
      Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named
      'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three
      different places) into a single location.
