netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handling

2011-06-16T15:27:04Z

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the process. These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue, netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP header instead. This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header if there is none in the packet. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Cavallari Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: return error number to caller

2011-01-18T14:27:28Z

instead of returning -1 on error, return an error number to allow the caller to handle some errors differently. ECANCELED is used to indicate that the hook is going away and should be ignored. A followup patch will introduce more 'ignore this hook' conditions, (depending on queue settings) and will move kfree_skb responsibility to the caller.

bridge: use rx_handler_data pointer to store net_bridge_port pointer

2010-06-15T18:48:58Z

Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate the device serves as a bridge port. Also rcuized pointers are now correctly dereferenced in br_fdb.c and in netfilter parts. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
