* ipv4: Fix oops with FIB_TRIERobert Olsson2009-05-211-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | It seems we can fix this by disabling preemption while we re-balance the trie. This is with the CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU. It's been stress-tested at high loads continuesly taking a full BGP table up/down via iproute -batch.

* IPv6: set RTPROT_KERNEL to initial routeJean-Mickael Guerin2009-05-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of unspecified protocol in IPv6 initial route prevents quagga to install IPv6 default route: # show ipv6 route S ::/0 [1/0] via fe80::1, eth1_0 K>* ::/0 is directly connected, lo, rej C>* ::1/128 is directly connected, lo C>* fe80::/64 is directly connected, eth1_0 # ip -6 route fe80::/64 dev eth1_0 proto kernel metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit -1 ff00::/8 dev eth1_0 metric 256 mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit -1 unreachable default dev lo proto none metric -1 error -101 hoplimit 255 The attached patch ensures RTPROT_KERNEL to the default initial route and fixes the problem for quagga.

| * wext: verify buffer size for SIOCSIWENCODEEXTJohannes Berg2009-05-201-0/+7

Therefore, we have this layout: extra: +-------------------------+ | struct iw_encode_ext { | | ... | | u16 key_len; | | u8 key[0]; | | }; | +-------------------------+ | key material | +-------------------------+ Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer, depending on the driver it may be possible to specify arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length for the key algorithm specified. Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer). Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer along with struct iw_encode_ext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Lukyanov found a regression in 2.6.29 and made a complete analysis found in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13339 Quoted here because its a perfect one : begin_of_quotation 2.6.29 patch has introduced flexible route cache rebuilding. Unfortunately the patch has at least one critical flaw, and another problem. rt_intern_hash calculates rthi pointer, which is later used for new entry insertion. The same loop calculates cand pointer which is used to clean the list. If the pointers are the same, rtable leak occurs, as first the cand is removed then the new entry is appended to it. This leak leads to unregister_netdevice problem (usage count > 0). Another problem of the patch is that it tries to insert the entries in certain order, to facilitate counting of entries distinct by all but QoS parameters. Unfortunately, referencing an existing rtable entry moves it to list beginning, to speed up further lookups, so the carefully built order is destroyed. For the first problem the simplest patch it to set rthi=0 when rthi==cand, but it will also destroy the ordering. end_of_quotation Problematic commit is 1080d709fb9d8cd4392f93476ee46a9d6ea05a5b (net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceeded) Trying to keep dst_entries ordered is too complex and breaks the fact that order should depend on the frequency of use for garbage collection. A possible fix is to make rt_intern_hash() simpler, and only makes rt_check_expire() a litle bit smarter, being able to cope with an arbitrary entries order. The added loop is running on cache hot data, while cpu is prefetching next object, so should be unnoticied. Reported-and-analyzed-by: Alexander V.

* bridge: fix initial packet flood if !STPStephen Hemminger2009-05-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all packets for the first 20 seconds. This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes: * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate user wants to always flood packets * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial timer tick The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if kernel STP is not being used.

* bridge: relay bridge multicast pkgs if !STPStephen Hemminger2009-05-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned off. This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on) from being able to detect loops in the network. With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP multicast group address is forwarded to all ports. Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization that only last octet needs to be checked.

* ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP serverChris Friesen2009-05-171-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from a second interface. The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and rejects the request. This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device. A more sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A remote device in security mode 3 that tries to connect will require the pairing during the connection setup phase. The disconnect timeout is now triggered within 10 milliseconds and causes the pairing to fail. If a connection is not fully established and a PIN code request is received, don't trigger the disconnect timeout. The either successful or failing connection complete event will make sure that the timeout is triggered at the right time. The biggest problem with security mode 3 is that many Bluetooth 2.0 device and before use a temporary security mode 3 for dedicated bonding.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The connection setup phase takes around 2 seconds or longer and in that time it is possible that the need for an ACL connection is no longer present. If that happens then, the connection attempt will be canceled. This only applies to outgoing connections, but currently it can also be triggered by incoming connection. Don't call hci_acl_connect_cancel() on incoming connection since these have to be either accepted or rejected in this state. Once they are successfully connected they need to be fully disconnected anyway. Also remove the wrong hci_acl_disconn() call for SCO and eSCO links since at this stage they can't be disconnected either, because the connection handle is still unknown.

In case the connection setup fails, hci_dev_put() is never called. Procedure to reproduce the issue: # hciconfig hci0 up # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1 # hcitool cc <non-exisiting bdaddr> -> will get timeout # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 2 # hciconfig hci0 down # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1 # rmmod btusb -> ERROR: Module btusb is in use The hci_dev_put() call got moved into del_conn() with the 2.6.25 kernel to fix an issue with hci_dev going away before hci_conn. However that change was wrong and introduced this problem. When calling hci_conn_del() it has to call hci_dev_put() after freeing the connection details. This handling should be fully symmetric. The execution of del_conn() is done in a work queue and needs it own calls to hci_dev_hold() and hci_dev_put() to ensure that the hci_dev stays until the connection cleanup has been finished.

The problem arises because fwmarks are stored in the 4th octet of a union nf_inet_addr .all, however in the case of IPv4 only the first octet, corresponding to .ip, is assigned and compared. In other words, using .all = { 0, 0, 0, htonl(svc->fwmark) always results in a value of 0 (32bits) being stored for IPv4. This means that one fwmark can be used, as it ends up being mapped to 0, but things break down when multiple fwmarks are used, as they all end up being mapped to 0. As fwmarks are 32bits a reasonable fix seems to be to just store the fwmark in .ip, and comparing and storing .ip when fwmarks are used. This patch makes the assumption that in calls to ip_vs_ct_in_get() and ip_vs_sched_persist() if the proto parameter is IPPROTO_IP then we are dealing with an fwmark. I believe this is valid as ip_vs_in() does fairly strict filtering on the protocol and IPPROTO_IP should not be used in these calls unless explicitly passed when making these calls for fwmarks in ip_vs_sched_persist().

This allows calls into the stack that happen before said time to be rejected. Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED, which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was causing an oops when touching uninitialized data. This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt with.

| * | | Bluetooth: Move dev_set_name() to a context that can sleepMarcel Holtmann2009-05-051-4/+3

It allocates its memory with GFP_KERNEL. Previously it was a static (size limited) string and that got changed to accommodate longer device names. So move the dev_set_name() just before calling device_add() which is executed in a work queue. This fixes the following error: [ 110.012125] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1595 [ 110.012135] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper [ 110.012141] 2 locks held by swapper/0: [ 110.012145] #0: (hci_task_lock){++.-.+}, at: [<ffffffffa01f822f>] hci_rx_task+0x2f/0x2d0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012173] #1: (&hdev->lock){+.-.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa01fb9e2>] hci_event_packet+0x72/0x25c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012198] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc4-g953cdaa #1 [ 110.012203] Call Trace: [ 110.012207] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8023eabd>] __might_sleep+0x14d/0x170 [ 110.012228] [<ffffffff802cfbe1>] __kmalloc+0x111/0x170 [ 110.012239] [<ffffffff803c2094>] kvasprintf+0x64/0xb0 [ 110.012248] [<ffffffff803b7a5b>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x3b/0xa0 [ 110.012257] [<ffffffff80465326>] dev_set_name+0x76/0xa0 [ 110.012273] [<ffffffffa01fb9e2>] ? hci_event_packet+0x72/0x25c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012289] [<ffffffffa01ffc1d>] hci_conn_add_sysfs+0x3d/0x70 [bluetooth] [ 110.012303] [<ffffffffa01fba2c>] hci_event_packet+0xbc/0x25c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012312] [<ffffffff80516eb0>] ? sock_def_readable+0x80/0xa0 [ 110.012328] [<ffffffffa01fee0c>] ? hci_send_to_sock+0xfc/0x1c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012343] [<ffffffff80516eb0>] ? sock_def_readable+0x80/0xa0 [ 110.012347] [<ffffffff805e88c5>] ? _read_unlock+0x75/0x80 [ 110.012354] [<ffffffffa01fee0c>] ? hci_send_to_sock+0xfc/0x1c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012360] [<ffffffffa01f8403>] hci_rx_task+0x203/0x2d0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012365] [<ffffffff80250ab5>] tasklet_action+0xb5/0x160 [ 110.012369] [<ffffffff8025116c>] __do_softirq+0x9c/0x150 [ 110.012372] [<ffffffff805e850f>] ? _spin_unlock+0x3f/0x80 [ 110.012376] [<ffffffff8020cbbc>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 [ 110.012380] [<ffffffff8020f01d>] do_softirq+0x8d/0xe0 [ 110.012383] [<ffffffff80250df5>] irq_exit+0xc5/0xe0 [ 110.012386] [<ffffffff8020e71d>] do_IRQ+0x9d/0x120 [ 110.012389] [<ffffffff8020c3d3>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf [ 110.012391] <EOI> [<ffffffff80431832>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x264/0x2a6 [ 110.012399] [<ffffffff80431828>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x25a/0x2a6 [ 110.012403] [<ffffffff804f50d5>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0xc5/0x130 [ 110.012407] [<ffffffff8020a4b4>] ? cpu_idle+0xc4/0x130 [ 110.012411] [<ffffffff805d2268>] ? rest_init+0x88/0xb0 [ 110.012416] [<ffffffff807e2fbd>] ? start_kernel+0x3b5/0x412 [ 110.012420] [<ffffffff807e2281>] ? x86_64_start_reservations+0x91/0xb5 [ 110.012424] [<ffffffff807e2394>] ? x86_64_start_kernel+0xef/0x11b Based on a report by Davide Pesavento <davidepesa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Tested-by: Hugo Mildenberger <hugo.mildenberger@namir.de> Tested-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com>

Thus, the checking fails. BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup. The maximum limit of 32 nodes is still completely arbitrary. I'd really appreciate if people that have more nodes in their setups let me know.

The whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are no longer valid. With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host. The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only registered when the connection has been successfully established. To avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is registered has been moved into the removal work. As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.
