2006-09-22[IPV6] NDISC: Set per-entry is_router flag in Proxy NA.Ville Nuorvala1-3/+8
We have sent NA with router flag from the node-wide forwarding configuration. This is not appropriate for proxy NA, and it should be set according to each proxy entry's configuration. This is used by Mobile IPv6 home agent to support physical home link in acting as a proxy router for mobile node which is not a router, for example. Based on MIPL2 kernel patch.

2006-09-22[RTNETLINK]: Fix netdevice name corruptionPatrick McHardy1-0/+2
When changing a device by ifindex without including a IFLA_IFNAME attribute, the ifname variable contains random garbage and is used to change the device name. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
2006-09-22[NET]: Fix sk->sk_filter field accessDmitry Mishin2-17/+13
Function sk_filter() is called from tcp_v{4,6}_rcv() functions with arg needlock = 0, while socket is not locked at that moment. In order to avoid this and similar issues in the future, use rcu for sk->sk_filter field read protection.

Adds rtnl_notify() to send rtnetlink notification messages and rtnl_set_sk_err() to report notification errors as socket errors in order to indicate the need of a resync due to loss of events. nlmsg_report() is added to properly document the meaning of NLM_F_ECHO.

2006-09-22[NET]: Introduce RTA_TABLE/FRA_TABLE attributesPatrick McHardy1-2/+3
Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them need to use RTA_TABLE. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

2006-09-22[NET]: Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL/CHECKSUM_COMPLETEPatrick McHardy4-16/+16
Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for incoming packets, device supplied full checksum). Patch originally from Herbert Xu, updated by myself for 2.6.18-rc3. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
2006-09-22[NET]: Convert link dumping to new netlink apiThomas Graf1-144/+137
Transforms netlink code to dump link tables to use the new netlink api. Makes rtnl_getlink() available regardless of the availability of the wireless extensions. Adding copy_rtnl_link_stats() avoids the structural dependency of struct rtnl_link_stats on struct net_device_stats and thus avoids troubles later on.

2006-09-22[NET]: Convert link modification to new netlink apiThomas Graf1-91/+100
Transforms do_setlink() into rtnl_setlink() using the new netlink api. A warning message printed to the console is added in the event that a change request fails while part of the change request has been comitted already. The ioctl() based nature of net devices makes it almost impossible to move on to atomic netlink operations without obsoleting some of the functionality.

2006-09-22[MLSXFRM]: Flow based matching of xfrm policy and stateVenkat Yekkirala1-5/+2
This implements a seemless mechanism for xfrm policy selection and state matching based on the flow sid. This also includes the necessary SELinux enforcement pieces. Signed-off-by: Venkat Yekkirala <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
2006-09-22[MLSXFRM]: Add security sid to sockVenkat Yekkirala1-1/+1
This adds security for IP sockets at the sock level. Security at the sock level is needed to enforce the SELinux security policy for security associations even when a sock is orphaned (such as in the TCP LAST_ACK state). This will also be used to enforce SELinux controls over data arriving at or leaving a child socket while it's still waiting to be accepted.

2006-09-17[NEIGH]: neigh_table_clear() doesn't free statsKirill Korotaev1-0/+3
neigh_table_clear() doesn't free tbl->stats. Found by Alexey Kuznetsov. Though Alexey considers this leak minor for mainstream, I still believe that cleanup code should not forget to free some of the resources :) At least, this is critical for OpenVZ with virtualized neighbour tables.

2006-09-13[PATCH] ethtool: allow const ethtool_opsStephen Hemminger1-7/+7

2006-08-17[VLAN]: Make sure bonding packet drop checks get done in hwaccel RX path.David S. Miller1-17/+1
Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the assosciated checks it does. Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(), and use this in __vlan_hwaccel_rx(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

2006-08-09[NET]: add_timer -> mod_timer() in dst_run_gc()Dmitry Mishin1-2/+1
Patch from Dmitry Mishin <[email protected]>: Replace add_timer() by mod_timer() in dst_run_gc in order to avoid BUG message. CPU1 CPU2 dst_run_gc() entered dst_run_gc() entered spin_lock(&dst_lock) ..... del_timer(&dst_gc_timer) fail to get lock .... mod_timer() <--- puts timer back to the list add_timer(&dst_gc_timer) <--- BUG because timer is in list already. Found during OpenVZ internal testing. At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(), but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger this condition in mainstream kernel. F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted by an irq before dst_lock is tried. Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and starts the timer. If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving exactly to the situation described.

2006-08-08[RTNETLINK]: Fix IFLA_ADDRESS handling.David S. Miller1-1/+14
