* net/x25: push BKL usage into x25_protoArnd Bergmann2009-11-071-11/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The x25 driver uses lock_kernel() implicitly through its proto_ops wrapper. The makes the usage explicit in order to get rid of that wrapper and to better document the usage of the BKL. The next step should be to get rid of the usage of the BKL in x25 entirely, which requires understanding what data structures need serialized accesses.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The irda driver uses the BKL implicitly in its protocol operations. Replace the wrapped proto_ops with explicit lock_kernel() calls makes the usage more obvious and shrinks the size of the object code.

I did not analyse how to kill lock_kernel from ipx entirely, this will involve either proving that it's not needed, or replacing with a proper mutex or spinlock, after finding out which data structures are protected by the lock.

* net, compat_ioctl: handle more ioctls correctlyArnd Bergmann2009-11-061-14/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | The MII ioctls and SIOCSIFNAME need to go through ifsioc conversion, which they never did so far. Some others are not implemented in the native path, so we can just return -EINVAL directly. Add IFSLAVE ioctls to the EINVAL list and move it to the end to optimize the code path for the common case.

* compat: move sockios handling to net/socket.cArnd Bergmann2009-11-061-228/+240
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the original socket compat_ioctl code from fs/compat_ioctl.c and converts the code from the copy in net/socket.c into a single function. We add a few cycles of runtime to compat_sock_ioctl() with the long switch() statement, but gain some cycles in return by simplifying the call chain to get there. Due to better inlining, save 1.5kb of object size in the process, and enable further savings: before: text data bss dec hex filename 13540 18008 2080 33628 835c obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o 14565 636 40 15241 3b89 obj/net/socket.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 8916 15176 2080 26172 663c obj/fs/compat_ioctl.o 20725 636 40 21401 5399 obj/net/socket.o Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, calls to wimax_rfkill() will be blocked until the device is at least past the WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED state, return -ENOMEDIUM when the device is in the WIMAX_ST_DOWN state. In parallel, wimax-tools would issue a wimax_rfkill(WIMAX_RF_QUERY) call right after opening a handle with wimaxll_open() as means to verify if the interface is really a WiMAX interface [newer kernel version will have a call specifically for this]. The combination of these two facts is that in some cases, before the driver has finalized initializing its device's firmware, a wimaxll_open() call would fail, when it should not. Thus, change the wimax_rfkill() code to allow queries when the device is in WIMAX_ST_UNINITIALIZED state. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "debug" module options to all the wimax modules (including drivers) so that the debug levels can be set upon kernel boot or module load time. This is needed as currently there was a limitation where the debug levels could only be set when a device was succesfully enumerated. This made it difficult to debug issues that made a device not probe properly. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>
| * | wimax: indicate initial SW rfkill state is "blocked"Inaky Perez-Gonzalez2009-10-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WiMAX stack assumes that all WiMAX devices are SW OFF when they are initialized. The recent changes in the RFKILL stack thus cause an initial call after rfkill_register(), because by default, rfkill considers devices to be SW ON upon registration. So call rfkill_init_sw_state() to set it to SW OFF so rfkill_register() doesn't do that unnecessary step. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com>

The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e361e864f0e9d75ebe2a0cb43d17c4272). However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack: when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter (td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP. The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)
