* [NETFILTER]: Add partial checksum validation helperPatrick McHardy2008-04-141-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | Move the UDP-Lite conntrack checksum validation to a generic helper similar to nf_checksum() and make it fall back to nf_checksum() in case the full packet is to be checksummed and hardware checksums are available. This is to be used by DCCP conntrack, which also needs to verify partial checksums. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

* [NETFILTER]: xt_sctp: simplify xt_sctp.hJan Engelhardt2008-04-141-49/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | The use of xt_sctp.h flagged up -Wshadow warnings in userspace, which prompted me to look at it and clean it up. Basic operations have been directly replaced by library calls (memcpy, memset is both available in the kernel and userspace, and usually faster than a self-made loop). The is_set and is_clear functions now use a processing time shortcut, too. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
* [NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER/MANGLE/RAW tables for realAlexey Dobriyan2008-04-141-1/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9335f047fe61587ec82ff12fbb1220bcfdd32006 aka "[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER, MANGLE, RAW" added per-netns _view_ of iptables rules. They were shown to user, but ignored by filtering code. Now that it's possible to at least ping loopback, per-netns tables can affect filtering decisions. netns is taken in case of PRE_ROUTING, LOCAL_IN -- from in device, POST_ROUTING, LOCAL_OUT -- from out device, FORWARD -- from in device which should be equal to out device's netns. This code is relatively new, so BUG_ON was plugged. Wrappers were added to a) keep code the same from CONFIG_NET_NS=n users (overwhelming majority), b) consolidate code in one place -- similar changes will be done in ipv6 and arp netfilter code.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | The xfrm_get_policy() and xfrm_add_pol_expire() put some rather large structs on the stack to work around the LSM API.

* [SKFILTER]: Add SKF_ADF_NLATTR instructionPatrick McHardy2008-04-101-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not found it returns zero. A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this (example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg): ... { /* A = offset of first attribute */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_IMM, .k = sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg) }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, { /* Exit if not found */ .code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K, .k = 0, .jt = <error> }, ... A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then be parsed like this: ... { /* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */ .code = BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, { /* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */ .code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM, .k = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP, }, { /* A = netlink attribute offset */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS, .k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR }, ... The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this: ... { /* X = A (attribute offset) */ .code = BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX, }, { /* A = skb->data[X + k] */ .code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND, .k = sizeof(struct nlattr), }, ...

This problem was introduced by commit fb56dbb31c4738a3918db81fd24da732ce3b4ae6 Author: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Date: Sun Dec 2 10:50:06 2007 +0200 KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM Currently, make headers_check barfs due to <asm/kvm.h>, which <linux/kvm.h> includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion <asm/kvm.h>s, export kvm. only if the arch actually supports it. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> which makes this an 2.6.25 regression. One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y. If  unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides asm/kvm.h on all architectures.

So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code. To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event. Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the other CPU of the change in the timer wheel. Call this function from add_timer_on().
