We can't access the cache entry outside of our critical read-locked region, because someone may free that entry. Also getting an entry under read lock, then locking for write and trying to delete that entry looks fishy, but should be no problem here, because we're only comparing a pointer. Also there is no need for our own rwlock, there is already one in the service structure for use in the schedulers.

We can't access the cache entry outside of our critical read-locked region, because someone may free that entry. And we also need to check in the critical region wether the destination is still available, i.e. it's not in the trash. If we drop our reference counter, the destination can be purged from the trash at any time. Our caller only guarantees that no destination is moved to the trash, while we are scheduling. Also there is no need for our own rwlock, there is already one in the service structure for use in the schedulers.

Use incoming network tuple as seed for NAT port randomization. This avoids concerns of leaking net_random() bits, and also gives better port distribution. Don't have NAT server, compile tested only.

Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
If we create a conntrack that has NAT handlings and a helper, the helper is assigned twice. This happens because nf_nat_setup_info() - via nf_conntrack_alter_reply() - sets the helper before ctnetlink, which indeed does not check if the conntrack already has a helper as it thinks that it is a brand new conntrack. The fix moves the helper assignation before the set of the status flags. This avoids a bogus assertion in __nf_ct_ext_add (if netfilter assertions are enabled) which checks that the conntrack must not be confirmed. This problem was introduced in 2.6.23 with the netfilter extension infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Thanks is due to Wei Yongjun for the detailed analysis and description of this bug at http://marc.info/?l=dccp&m=121739364909199&w=2 The problem is that invalid packets received by a client in state REQUEST cause the retransmission timer for the DCCP-Request to be reset. This includes freeing the Request-skb ( in dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process() ). As a consequence, * the arrival of further packets cause a double-free, triggering a panic(), * the connection then may hang, since further retransmissions are blocked. This patch changes the order of statements so that the retransmission timer is reset, and the pending Request freed, only if a valid Response has arrived (or the number of sysctl-retries has been exhausted). Further changes: ---------------- To be on the safe side, replaced __kfree_skb with kfree_skb so that if due to unexpected circumstances the sk_send_head is NULL the WARN_ON is used instead.

Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback and help from Jarek Poplawski and Herbert Xu. We always either: 1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc. or 2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous references. So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(), it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is free'd memory. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jarek Poplawski authored
Qdisc locks are initialized in the same function, qdisc_alloc(), so lockdep can't distinguish tx qdisc lock from rx and reports "possible recursive locking detected" when both these locks are taken eg. while using act_mirred with ifb. This looks like a false positive. Anyway, after this patch these locks will be reported more exactly.

(Only important for USB V1 Adaptors) If an incoming frame wasn't accepted by p54_rx function the skb will be reused for new frames... But, we must not forget to set the skb's data pointers into the same state in which it was initialized by p54u_init_urbs. Otherwise we either end up with 16 bytes less on every requeue, or if a new frame is worthy enough to be accepted, the data is in the wrong place (urb->transfer_buffer wasn't updated!) and mac80211 has a hard time to recognize it...

priv->tx_hdr_len is set by the driver _after_ it called p54_init_common.

Commit b19fa1fa, entitled "net: Delete NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE kconfig option" breaks p54pci and p54usb. Additionally, the old logic always tx'ed cts frames (if enabled) with a short preamble when [rate > 3]. (i.e. with any 802.11g rate). Of course this isn't that bad, but it's still wrong!

Based upon a bug report by Josip Rodin. Packet schedulers should only return NET_XMIT_DROP iff the packet really was dropped. If the packet does reach the device after we return NET_XMIT_DROP then TCP can crash because it depends upon the enqueue path return values being accurate. Signed-off-by: David S.

When get receiving interface index while no message is received, the bounded device's index of the socket should be returned. RFC 3542: Issuing getsockopt() for the above options will return the sticky option value i.e., the value set with setsockopt(). If no sticky option value has been set getsockopt() will return the following values: - For the IPV6_PKTINFO option, it will return an in6_pktinfo structure with ipi6_addr being in6addr_any and ipi6_ifindex being zero.

The condition under which the previous qdisc has no more references after we've attached &noop_qdisc is that both RUNNING and SCHED are both seen clear while holding the root lock.

This new state lets dev_deactivate() mark a qdisc as having been deactivated. dev_queue_xmit() and ing_filter() check for this bit and do not try to process the qdisc if the bit is set. dev_deactivate() polls the qdisc after setting the bit, waiting for both __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING and __QDISC_STATE_SCHED to clear. This isn't perfect yet, but subsequent changesets will make it so. This part is just one piece of the puzzle. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
