* NET: hamradio: Fix IP over bpq encapsulation.Ralf Baechle2015-07-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 1d5da757da860a6916adbf68b09e868062b4b3b8 (ax25: Stop using magic neighbour cache operations.) any attempt to transmit IP packets over a bpqether device will result in a message like "Dead loop on virtual device bpq0, fix it urgently!" Fix suggested by Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.1 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* ax25: Stop using magic neighbour cache operations.Eric W. Biederman2015-03-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before the ax25 stack calls dev_queue_xmit it always calls ax25_type_trans which sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_AX25. Which means that by looking at the protocol type it is possible to detect IP packets that have not been munged by the ax25 stack in ndo_start_xmit and call a function to munge them. Rename ax25_neigh_xmit to ax25_ip_xmit and tweak the return type and value to be appropriate for an ndo_start_xmit function. Update all of the ax25 devices to test the protocol type for ETH_P_IP and return ax25_ip_xmit as the first thing they do. This preserves the existing semantics of IP packet processing, but the timing will be a little different as the IP packets now pass through the qdisc layer before reaching the ax25 ip packet processing. Remove the now unnecessary ax25 neighbour table operations. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* ax25: Refactor to use private neighbour operations.Eric W. Biederman2015-03-021-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | AX25 already has it's own private arp cache operations to isolate it's abuse of dev_rebuild_header to transmit packets. Add a function ax25_neigh_construct that will allow all of the ax25 devices to force using these operations, so that the generic arp code does not need to.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h 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.

* NET: Fix possible corruption in bpqether driverRalf Baechle2009-09-021-16/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bpq ether driver is modifying the data art of the skb by first dropping the KISS byte (a command byte for the radio) then prepending the length + 4 of the remaining AX.25 packet to be transmitted as a little endian 16-bit number. If the high byte of the length has a different value than the dropped KISS byte users of clones of the skb may observe this as corruption. This was observed with by running listen(8) -a which uses a packet socket which clones transmit packets. The corruption will then typically be displayed for as a KISS "TX Delay" command for AX.25 packets in the range of 252..508 bytes or any other KISS command for yet larger packets. Fixed by using skb_cow to create a private copy should the skb be cloned. Using skb_cow also allows us to cleanup the old logic to ensure sufficient headroom in the skb. While at it, replace a return of 0 from bpq_xmit with the proper constant NETDEV_TX_OK which is now being used everywhere else in this function. Affected: all 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

* [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safeEric W. Biederman2007-10-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly can get confused and do the wrong thing. To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on devices that are not in the initial network namespace. As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespaceEric W. Biederman2007-10-101-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace. The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument, and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument. This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces. Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents that are relevant to a single network namespace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [AX.25]: Fix default address and broadcast address initialization.Ralf Baechle2006-12-081-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Only the callsign but not the SSID part of an AX.25 address is ASCII based but Linux by initializes the SSID which should be just a 4-bit number from ASCII anyway. Fix that and convert the code to use a shared constant for both default addresses. While at it, use the same style for null_ax25_address also.

* [BPQ] lockdep: fix false positiveRalf Baechle2006-07-101-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | Bpqether is encapsulating AX.25 frames into ethernet frames. There is a virtual bpqether device paired with each ethernet devices, so it's normal to pass through dev_queue_xmit twice for each frame which triggers the locking detector.

* [PATCH] rcu in bpqether driver.Ralf Baechle2005-10-181-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From Suzanne Wood <suzannew@cs.pdx.edu>: Clarify RCU implementation in bpqether.c. Because bpq_new_device() calls list_add_rcu() and bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu(), substitute list_for_each_entry_rcu() for list_for_each_entry() in bpq_get_ax25_dev() and in bpq_seq_start(). Add rcu dereference protection in bpq_seq_next(). The rcu_read_lock()/unlock() in bpq_device_event() are removed because netdev event handlers are called with RTNL locking in place. FYI: bpq_free_device() calls list_del_rcu() which, per list.h, requires synchronize_rcu() which can block or call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh() which cannot block. Herbert Xu notes that synchronization is done here by unregister_netdevice(). This calls synchronize_net() which in turn uses synchronize_rcu().
