* [PKT_SCHED] netem: packet corruption optionStephen Hemminger2006-01-032-3/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | Here is a new feature for netem in 2.6.16. It adds the ability to randomly corrupt packets with netem. A version was done by Hagen Paul Pfeifer, but I redid it to handle the cases of backwards compatibility with netlink interface and presence of hardware checksum offload. It is useful for testing hardware offload in devices. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [BRIDGE]: handle speed detection after carrier changesStephen Hemminger2006-01-033-22/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value we need to recheck speed after carrier event. But the check needs to be done in a context that is similar to normal ethtool interface (can sleep). Also, delay check for 1ms to try avoid any carrier bounce transitions.

* [BRIDGE]: allow setting hardware address of bridge pseudo-devStephen Hemminger2006-01-033-4/+28
| | | | | | | | | | Some people are using bridging to hide multiple machines from an ISP that restricts by MAC address. So in that case allow the bridge mac address to be set to any of the existing interfaces. I don't want to allow any arbitrary value and confuse STP.

* [IP_SOCKGLUE]: Remove most of the tcp specific callsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2006-01-0320-83/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As DCCP needs to be called in the same spots. Now we have a member in inet_sock (is_icsk), set at sock creation time from struct inet_protosw->flags (if INET_PROTOSW_ICSK is set, like for TCP and DCCP) to see if a struct sock instance is a inet_connection_sock for places like the ones in ip_sockglue.c (v4 and v6) where we previously were looking if sk_type was SOCK_STREAM, that is insufficient because we now use the same code for DCCP, that has sk_type SOCK_DCCP.

* [AF_UNIX]: Remove superfluous reference counting in unix_stream_sendmsgBenjamin LaHaise2006-01-031-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | AF_UNIX stream socket performance on P4 CPUs tends to suffer due to a lot of pipeline flushes from atomic operations. The patch below removes the sock_hold() and sock_put() in unix_stream_sendmsg(). This should be safe as the socket still holds a reference to its peer which is only released after the file descriptor's final user invokes unix_release_sock(). The only consideration is that we must add a memory barrier before setting the peer initially. Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise <benjamin.c.lahaise@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IP]: Simplify and consolidate MSG_PEEK error handlingHerbert Xu2006-01-035-41/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a packet is obtained from skb_recv_datagram with MSG_PEEK enabled it is left on the socket receive queue. This means that when we detect a checksum error we have to be careful when trying to free the packet as someone could have dequeued it in the time being. Currently this delicate logic is duplicated three times between UDPv4, UDPv6 and RAWv6. This patch moves them into a one place and simplifies the code somewhat.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Part of a performance problem with ip_tables is that memory allocation is not NUMA aware, but 'only' SMP aware (ie each CPU normally touch separate cache lines) Even with small iptables rules, the cost of this misplacement can be high on common workloads. Instead of using one vmalloc() area (located in the node of the iptables process), we now allocate an area for each possible CPU, using vmalloc_node() so that memory should be allocated in the CPU's node if possible.

* [LSM-IPSec]: Per-packet access control.Trent Jaeger2006-01-036-0/+410
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series implements per packet access control via the extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security associations to label packets. Extensions to the SELinux LSM are included that leverage the patch for this purpose. This patch implements the changes necessary to the SELinux LSM to create, deallocate, and use security contexts for policies (xfrm_policy) and security associations (xfrm_state) that enable control of a socket's ability to send and receive packets. Patch purpose: The patch is designed to enable the SELinux LSM to implement access control on individual packets based on the strongly authenticated IPSec security association. Such access controls augment the existing ones in SELinux based on network interface and IP address. The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be spoofed. By using IPSec, the SELinux can control access to remote hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism. This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to enforce the access control policy. Patch design approach: The patch's main function is to authorize a socket's access to a IPSec policy based on their security contexts. Since the communication is implemented by a security association, the patch ensures that the security association's negotiated and used have the same security context. The patch enables allocation and deallocation of such security contexts for policies and security associations. It also enables copying of the security context when policies are cloned. Lastly, the patch ensures that packets that are sent without using a IPSec security assocation with a security context are allowed to be sent in that manner. A presentation available at www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach. Patch implementation details: The function which authorizes a socket to perform a requested operation (send/receive) on a IPSec policy (xfrm_policy) is selinux_xfrm_policy_lookup. The Netfilter and rcv_skb hooks ensure that if a IPSec SA with a securit y association has not been used, then the socket is allowed to send or receive the packet, respectively. The patch implements SELinux function for allocating security contexts when policies (xfrm_policy) are created via the pfkey or xfrm_user interfaces via selinux_xfrm_policy_alloc. When a security association is built, SELinux allocates the security context designated by the XFRM subsystem which is based on that of the authorized policy via selinux_xfrm_state_alloc. When a xfrm_policy is cloned, the security context of that policy, if any, is copied to the clone via selinux_xfrm_policy_clone. When a xfrm_policy or xfrm_state is freed, its security context, if any is also freed at selinux_xfrm_policy_free or selinux_xfrm_state_free. Testing: The SELinux authorization function is tested using ipsec-tools. We created policies and security associations with particular security contexts and added SELinux access control policy entries to verify the authorization decision. We also made sure that packets for which no security context was supplied (which either did or did not use security associations) were authorized using an unlabelled context.

* [LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.Trent Jaeger2006-01-0312-61/+655
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series implements per packet access control via the extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security associations to label packets. Extensions to the SELinux LSM are included that leverage the patch for this purpose. This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem, pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security association) to send/receive network packets. Patch purpose: The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on the strongly authenticated IPSec security association. Such access controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP address. The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be spoofed. By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism. This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to enforce the access control policy. Patch design approach: The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those policies. A presentation available at www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach. Patch implementation details: On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of the socket and the same security context is required for resultant security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in ipsec-tools). This is enforced in xfrm_state_find. On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket (at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must also match the security association being used. The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec. The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as before. Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is minimal. The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec processing proceeds as in the original case. Testing: The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools. ipsec-tools have been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version 0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation using the security contexts via racoon. The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set security contexts. These programs are also available from me, and contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing this interface. Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel behavior.

However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros.

* [PATCH] powerpc: more g5 overtemp problem fixBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax + 8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are already overtemp by the time the driver loads). This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.
