There was some confusion at LCA as to why the sysctl tcp_ecn took one of three values when it was documented as a Boolean. This patch fixes the documentation. Signed-off-by: Peter Chubb <peter.chubb@nicta.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This error was reported by cppcheck: drivers/s390/net/smsgiucv.c:63: error: Using sizeof for array given as function argument returns the size of pointer.

Setting of a MAC-address may fail because an already used MAC-address is to bet set or because of authorization problems. In those cases qeth issues a message, but the mentioned MAC-address is not the new MAC-address to be set, but the actual MAC-address. This patch chooses now the new MAC-address to be set for the error messages.

For the following rule: iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -j CT --ctevents assured The event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Note that the TCP protocol state is not included. For that reason the CT event filtering is not very useful for conntrackd. To resolve this issue, instead of conditionally setting the CT events bits based on the ctmask, we always set them and perform the filtering in the late stage, just before the delivery. Thus, the event delivered looks like the following: [UPDATE] tcp 6 432000 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=37041 dport=80 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=80 dport=37041 [ASSURED] Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

When built with rcu checks enabled, vhost triggers bogus warnings as vhost features are read without dev->mutex sometimes, and private pointer is read with our kind of rcu where work serves as a read side critical section. Fixing it properly is not trivial. Disable the warnings by stubbing out the checks for now. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

In my testing of 2.6.37 I was occassionally getting a warning about sysctl table entries being unregistered in the wrong order. Digging in it turns out this dates back to the last great sysctl reorg done where Al Viro introduced the requirement that sysctl directories needed to be created before and destroyed after the files in them. It turns out that in that great reorg /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh was overlooked. So this patch fixes that oversight and makes an annoying warning message go away. >------------[ cut here ]------------ >WARNING: at kernel/sysctl.c:1992 unregister_sysctl_table+0x134/0x164() >Pid: 23951, comm: kworker/u:3 Not tainted 2.6.37-350888.2010AroraKernelBeta.fc14.x86_64 #1 >Call Trace: > [<ffffffff8103e034>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 > [<ffffffff8103e061>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17 > [<ffffffff810452f8>] unregister_sysctl_table+0x134/0x164 > [<ffffffff810e7834>] ? kfree+0xc4/0xd1 > [<ffffffff813439b2>] neigh_sysctl_unregister+0x22/0x3a > [<ffffffffa02cd14e>] addrconf_ifdown+0x33f/0x37b [ipv6] > [<ffffffff81331ec2>] ? skb_dequeue+0x5f/0x6b > [<ffffffffa02ce4a5>] addrconf_notify+0x69b/0x75c [ipv6] > [<ffffffffa02eb953>] ? ip6mr_device_event+0x98/0xa9 [ipv6] > [<ffffffff813d2413>] notifier_call_chain+0x32/0x5e > [<ffffffff8105bdea>] raw_notifier_call_chain+0xf/0x11 > [<ffffffff8133cdac>] call_netdevice_notifiers+0x45/0x4a > [<ffffffff8133d2b0>] rollback_registered_many+0x118/0x201 > [<ffffffff8133d3af>] unregister_netdevice_many+0x16/0x6d > [<ffffffff8133d571>] default_device_exit_batch+0xa4/0xb8 > [<ffffffff81337c42>] ? cleanup_net+0x0/0x194 > [<ffffffff81337a2a>] ops_exit_list+0x4e/0x56 > [<ffffffff81337d36>] cleanup_net+0xf4/0x194 > [<ffffffff81053318>] process_one_work+0x187/0x280 > [<ffffffff8105441b>] worker_thread+0xff/0x19f > [<ffffffff8105431c>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x19f > [<ffffffff8105776d>] kthread+0x7d/0x85 > [<ffffffff81003824>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 > [<ffffffff810576f0>] ? kthread+0x0/0x85 > [<ffffffff81003820>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 >---[ end trace 8a7e9310b35e9486 ]--- Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Roland Dreier authored
When an IPSEC SA is still being set up, __xfrm_lookup() will return -EREMOTE and so ip_route_output_flow() will return a blackhole route. This can happen in a sndmsg call, and after d33e4553 ("net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.") this leads to a crash in ip_append_data() because the blackhole dst_ops have no default_mtu() method and so dst_mtu() calls a NULL pointer. Fix this by adding default_mtu() methods (that simply return 0, matching the old behavior) to the blackhole dst_ops. The IPv4 part of this patch fixes a crash that I saw when using an IPSEC VPN; the IPv6 part is untested because I don't have an IPv6 VPN, but it looks to be needed as well.

The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it. The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will be initiated without the lock which protects the stack. The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the current element in the list. The list may be modified during the unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer not pointing to correct next element. It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1, which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking ioctls is insufficient. A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict with: SIOCAX25ADDUID SIOCAIPXPRISLT SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6 SIOCGETSGCNT SIOCRSSCAUSE SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the the normal ioctl decode path. I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls. I have added a compat_ioctl function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket I am using. I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only works on raw sockets. I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal ipmr_ioctl. This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels. This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a 64bit kernel. Reported-by: Bill Fenner <fenner@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Date: Sun Nov 8 00:53:51 2009 -0800 net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Where apparently I forgot to add error handling to the path where we create a new network device in a new network namespace, and pass in an invalid pid.
