2010-02-03dccp: fix auto-loading of dccp(_probe)Gerrit Renker
This fixes commit (38ff3e6bb987ec583268da8eb22628293095d43b) ("dccp_probe: Fix module load dependencies between dccp and dccp_probe", from 15 Jan). It fixes the construction of the first argument of try_then_request_module(), where only valid return codes from the first argument should be returned. What we do now is assign the result of register_jprobe() to ret, without the side effect of the comparison.

2010-02-03dccp: fix bug in cache allocationGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfce60d2250111f34f8a084e769f23b16 ("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array. This lead to error messages such as FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available >> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character. Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.

2010-02-03netlink: fix for too early rmmodAlexey Dobriyan
Netlink code does module autoload if protocol userspace is asking for is not ready. However, module can dissapear right after it was autoloaded. Example: modprobe/rmmod stress-testing and xfrm_user.ko providing NETLINK_XFRM. netlink_create() in such situation _will_ create userspace socket and _will_not_ pin module. Now if module was removed and we're going to call ->netlink_rcv into nothing: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa02f842a ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ modules are loaded near these addresses here IP: [<ffffffffa02f842a>] 0xffffffffa02f842a PGD 161f067 PUD 1623063 PMD baa12067 PTE 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/uevent CPU 1 Pid: 11515, comm: ip Not tainted 2.6.33-rc5-netns-00594-gaaa5728-dirty #6 P5E/P5E RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa02f842a>] [<ffffffffa02f842a>] 0xffffffffa02f842a RSP: 0018:ffff8800baa3db48 EFLAGS: 00010292 RAX: ffff8800baa3dfd8 RBX: ffff8800be353640 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffffffff81959380 RSI: ffff8800bab7f130 RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: ffff8800baa3db58 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000011 R13: ffff8800be353640 R14: ffff8800bcdec240 R15: ffff8800bd488010 FS: 00007f93749656f0(0000) GS:ffff880002300000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffffffffa02f842a CR3: 00000000ba82b000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process ip (pid: 11515, threadinfo ffff8800baa3c000, task ffff8800bab7eb30) Stack: ffffffff813637c0 ffff8800bd488000 ffff8800baa3dba8 ffffffff8136397d <0> 0000000000000000 ffffffff81344adc 7fffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 <0> ffff8800baa3ded8 ffff8800be353640 ffff8800bcdec240 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff813637c0>] ? netlink_unicast+0x100/0x2d0 [<ffffffff8136397d>] netlink_unicast+0x2bd/0x2d0 netlink_unicast_kernel: nlk->netlink_rcv(skb); [<ffffffff81344adc>] ? memcpy_fromiovec+0x6c/0x90 [<ffffffff81364263>] netlink_sendmsg+0x1d3/0x2d0 [<ffffffff8133975b>] sock_sendmsg+0xbb/0xf0 [<ffffffff8106cdeb>] ? __lock_acquire+0x27b/0xa60 [<ffffffff810a18c3>] ? might_fault+0x73/0xd0 [<ffffffff810a18c3>] ? might_fault+0x73/0xd0 [<ffffffff8106db22>] ? __lock_release+0x82/0x170 [<ffffffff810a190e>] ? might_fault+0xbe/0xd0 [<ffffffff810a18c3>] ? might_fault+0x73/0xd0 [<ffffffff81344c77>] ? verify_iovec+0x47/0xd0 [<ffffffff8133a509>] sys_sendmsg+0x1a9/0x360 [<ffffffff813c2be5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x65/0x70 [<ffffffff8106aced>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff813c2bc2>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x42/0x70 [<ffffffff81197004>] ? __up_read+0x84/0xb0 [<ffffffff8106ac95>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x145/0x190 [<ffffffff813c207f>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3f [<ffffffff8100262b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: Bad RIP value.

2010-02-03af_key: fix netns ops ordering on module load/unloadAlexey Dobriyan
1. After sock_register() returns, it's possible to create sockets, even if module still not initialized fully (blame generic module code for that!) 2. Consequently, pfkey_create() can be called with pfkey_net_id still not initialized which will BUG_ON in net_generic(): kernel BUG at include/net/netns/generic.h:43! 3. During netns shutdown, netns ops should be unregistered after key manager unregistered because key manager calls can be triggered from xfrm_user module: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC pfkey_broadcast+0x111/0x210 [af_key] pfkey_send_notify+0x16a/0x300 [af_key] km_state_notify+0x41/0x70 xfrm_flush_sa+0x75/0x90 [xfrm_user] 4.

2010-02-02can: deny filterlist access on non-CAN interfacesOliver Hartkopp
In commit 20dd3850bcf860561496827b711fa10fecf6e787 "can: Speed up CAN frame receiption by using ml_priv" the formerly used hlist of receiver lists for each CAN netdevice has been replaced. The hlist content ensured only CAN netdevices to be accessed by the can_rx_(un)register() functions which accidently dropped away together with the hlist receiver implementation.

2010-01-28sched: add head drop fifo queueHagen Paul Pfeifer
This adds an additional queuing strategy, called pfifo_head_drop, to remove the oldest skb in the case of an overflow within the queue - the head element - instead of the last skb (tail). To remove the oldest skb in congested situations is useful for sensor network environments where newer packets reflect the superior information.

GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net. Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns. This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste (AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns. Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering XFRM policies.

2010-01-23IP: Send an ICMP "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message when enabling ↵Shan Wei
connection track No matter whether connection track is enabled, an end host should send an ICMPv4 "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message when defrag timeout. The reasons are following two points: 1. RFC 792 says: >>>> >> > > If a host reassembling a fragmented datagram cannot complete the >>>> >> > > reassembly due to missing fragments within its time limit it >>>> >> > > discards the datagram, and it may send a time exceeded message. >>>> >> > > >>>> >> > > If fragment zero is not available then no time exceeded need be >>>> >> > > sent at all. >>>> >> > > >>>> >> > > Read more: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc792.html#ixzz0aOXRD7Wp 2. Patrick McHardy also agrees with this opinion. :-) About the discussion of this opinion, refer to http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/41649 The patch fixed the problem like this: When enabling connection track, fragments are received at PRE_ROUTING HOOK. If they are failed to reassemble, ip_expire() will be called. Before sending an ICMP "Fragment Reassembly Timeout" message, the patch searches router table to get the destination entry only for host type. The patch has been tested on both host type and route type. Signed-off-by: Shan Wei <shanwei@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
