* skbuff: align sk_buff::cb to 64 bit and close some potential holesFelix Fietkau2010-02-271-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The alignment requirement for 64-bit load/store instructions on ARM is implementation defined. Some CPUs (such as Marvell Feroceon) do not generate an exception, if such an instruction is executed with an address that is not 64 bit aligned. In such a case, the Feroceon corrupts adjacent memory, which showed up in my tests as a crash in the rx path of ath9k that only occured with CONFIG_XFRM set. This crash happened, because the first field of the mac80211 rx status info in the cb is an u64, and changing it corrupted the skb->sp field. This patch also closes some potential pre-existing holes in the sk_buff struct surrounding the cb[] area. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.

* dev: support deferring device flag change notificationsPatrick McHardy2010-02-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications until the device has been fully configured. This changes ordering of some operations, in particular: - netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed. As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously. - The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged. - net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX are already shut down at this point. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manuallyPatrick McHardy2010-02-271-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to support specifying device flags during device creation, we must be able to roll back device registration in case setting the flags fails without sending any notifications related to the device to userspace. This patch changes rollback_registered_many() and register_netdevice() to manually send netlink notifications for devices not handled by rtnl_link and allows to defer notifications for devices handled by rtnl_link until setup is complete.

| * nl80211: add power save commandsKalle Valo2010-02-191-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

| * cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action framesJouni Malinen2010-02-151-1/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

In this configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on resuming or detaching from a debug session. Sequence of events in the problem case: 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior to a call to kgdb_handle_exception() 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() --> __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0; 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock" update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES" here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) --> __touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be set to 100s.) ... scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... } 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large jump and trips the softlockup warning. update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" = 180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... } note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp(this_cpu)" Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec? When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of get_timestamp() is: get_timestamp(this_cpu) -->cpu_clock(this_cpu) -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu) -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now) The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now" value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored. The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.
