2009-11-05net: check kern before calling security subsystemEric Paris
Before calling capable(CAP_NET_RAW) check if this operations is on behalf of the kernel or on behalf of userspace. Do not do the security check if it is on behalf of the kernel.

2009-11-05net: pass kern to net_proto_family create functionEric Paris
The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by the kernel or by userspace. This patch passes that flag to the net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

2009-11-04tcp: Do not call IPv4 specific func in tcp_check_reqGilad Ben-Yossef
Calling IPv4 specific inet_csk_route_req in tcp_check_req is a bad idea and crashes machine on IPv6 connections, as reported by Valdis Kletnieks Also, all we are really interested in is the timestamp option in the header, so calling tcp_parse_options() with the "estab" set to false flag is an overkill as it tries to parse half a dozen other TCP options. We know whether timestamp should be enabled or not using data from request_sock. Signed-off-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@codefidence.com> Tested-by: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-11-01veth: Fix unregister_netdevice_queue for vethEric W. Biederman
I tested the recent unregister many changes and got a weird, nasty and seemingly unrelasted kernel oops. Changing unregister_netdevice_queue to use list_move_tail fixes the problem for me. ip link add type veth rmmod veth ls /sys/class/net/ showed one of the veth devices still present.

2009-10-30RDS: Do not send congestion updates to loopback connectionsAndy Grover
This issue was discovered by HP's Pradeep and fixed in OFED 1.3, but not fixed in later versions, since the fix's implementation was not immediately applyable to the later code. This patch should do the trick for 1.4+ codebases. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-30RDS: Fix panic on unloadAndy Grover

2009-10-30RDS: Fix potential race around rds_i[bw]_allocationAndy Grover
"At rds_ib_recv_refill_one(), it first executes atomic_read(&rds_ib_allocation) for if-condition checking, and then executes atomic_inc(&rds_ib_allocation) if the condition was not satisfied. However, if any other code which updates rds_ib_allocation executes between these two atomic operation executions, it seems that it may result race condition. (especially when rds_ib_allocation + 1 == rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation)" This patch fixes this by using atomic_inc_unless to eliminate the possibility of allocating more than rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation and then decrementing the count if the allocation fails. It also makes an identical change to the iwarp transport. Reported-by: Shin Hong <hongshin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-30RDS: Add GET_MR_FOR_DEST sockoptAndy Grover
RDS currently supports a GET_MR sockopt to establish a memory region (MR) for a chunk of memory. However, the fastreg method ties a MR to a particular destination. The GET_MR_FOR_DEST sockopt allows the remote machine to be specified, and thus support for fastreg (aka FRWRs). Note that this patch does *not* do all of this - it simply implements the new sockopt in terms of the old one, so applications can begin to use the new sockopt in preparation for cutover to FRWRs.

2009-10-29vlan: cleanup multiple unregistrationsPatrick McHardy
The temporary copy of the VLAN group is not neccessary since the lower device is already in the process of being unregistered, if it was neccessary the memset of the global group would introduce a race condition. With this removed, the changes to the original code are only a few lines, so remove the new function and move the code back into vlan_device_event().

2009-10-29net: Fix 'Re: PACKET_TX_RING: packet size is too long'Gabor Gombas
Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain unused. This probably originates from an early version of the PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current code does not make any use of this extra space. This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make use of the full frame size.

2009-10-29net,socket: introduce DECLARE_SOCKADDR helper to catch overflow at build timeCyrill Gorcunov
proto_ops->getname implies copying protocol specific data into storage unit (particulary to __kernel_sockaddr_storage). So when we implement new protocol support we should keep such a detail in mind (which is easy to forget about). Lets introduce DECLARE_SOCKADDR helper which check if storage unit is not overfowed at build time. Eventually inet_getname is switched to use DECLARE_SOCKADDR (to show example of usage).
