2015-04-07tcp: RFC7413 option support for Fast Open serverDaniel Lee1-0/+2
Fast Open has been using the experimental option with a magic number (RFC6994) to request and grant Fast Open cookies. This patch enables the server to support the official IANA option 34 in RFC7413 in addition. The change has passed all existing Fast Open tests with both old and new options at Google.

2015-04-07netfilter: Pass socket pointer down through okfn().David Miller5-10/+12
On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that generated the frame. And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP. We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting. The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4 socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-04-07Bluetooth: Remove hci_recv_stream_fragment functionMarcel Holtmann1-3/+0
The hci_recv_stream_fragment function should have never been introduced in the first place. The Bluetooth core does not need to know anything about the HCI transport protocol. With all transport protocol specific detailed moved back into the drivers where they belong (mainly generic USB and UART drivers), this function can now be removed. This reduces the size of hci_dev structure and also removes an exported symbol from the Bluetooth core module.

2015-04-06ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stackhannes@stressinduktion.org3-17/+4
We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process. ipv6 does not conform with this in three places: 1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size 2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should loop the packet back to the local socket 3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and force a wrong MTU Furthermore: In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device. Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting tunnel devices.

2015-04-02Bluetooth: Convert local OOB data reading to use HCI requestJohan Hedberg1-3/+0
Now that there's a HCI request API available where the callback receives the resulting skb, we can convert the local OOB data reading to use this new API.

2015-04-02Bluetooth: Add second hci_request callback option for full skbJohan Hedberg1-0/+3
This patch adds a second possible callback for HCI requests where the callback will receive the full skb of the last successfully completed HCI command. This API is useful for cases where we want to use a request to read some data and the existing hci_event.c handlers do not store it e.g. in the hci_dev struct. The reason the patch is a bit bigger than just adding the new API is because the hci_req_cmd_complete() functions required some refactoring to enable it: now hci_req_cmd_complete() is simply used to request the callback pointers if any, and the actual calling of them happens from a single place at the end of hci_event_packet(). The reason for this is that we need to pass the original skb (without any skb_pull, etc modifications done to it) and it's simplest to keep track of it within the hci_event_packet() function.

2015-04-01mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementationFelix Fietkau1-0/+83
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

2015-04-01netfilter: nf_tables: add GC synchronization helpersPatrick McHardy1-0/+35
GC is expected to happen asynchrously to the netlink interface. In the netlink path, both insertion and removal of elements consist of two steps, insertion followed by activation or deactivation followed by removal, during which the element must not be freed by GC. The synchronization helpers use an unused bit in the genmask field to atomically mark an element as "busy", meaning it is either currently being handled through the netlink API or by GC. Elements being processed by GC will never survive, netlink will simply ignore them. Elements being currently processed through netlink will be skipped by GC and reprocessed during the next run.

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc) is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be able to reliably tell the difference.

2015-03-26netfilter: nf_tables: implement set transaction supportPatrick McHardy1-7/+26
Set elements are the last object type not supporting transaction support. Implement similar to the existing rule transactions: The global transaction counter keeps track of two generations, current and next. Each element contains a bitmask specifying in which generations it is inactive. New elements start out as inactive in the current generation and active in the next. On commit, the previous next generation becomes the current generation and the element becomes active. The bitmask is then cleared to indicate that the element is active in all future generations. If the transaction is aborted, the element is removed from the set before it becomes active. When removing an element, it gets marked as inactive in the next generation. On commit the next generation becomes active and the therefor the element inactive. It is then taken out of then set and released. On abort, the element is marked as active for the next generation again. Lookups ignore elements not active in the current generation. The current set types (hash/rbtree) both use a field in the extension area to store the generation mask. This (currently) does not require any additional memory since we have some free space in there. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
