2010-01-28cfg80211: fix channel setting for wextAbhijeet Kolekar
commit 5f6120335c701ba07d5151206071f4d6ccaa684f upstream. Patch fixes the bug at http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2139 Currently we cannot set the channel using wext extension if we have already associated and disconnected. As cfg80211_mgd_wext_siwfreq will not switch the channel if ssid is set. This fixes it by clearing the ssid. Following is the sequence which it tries to fix. modprobe iwlagn iwconfig wlan0 essid "" ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 chan X wext is marked as deprecate.If we use nl80211 we can easily play with setting the channel.

2010-01-28mac80211: check that ieee80211_set_power_mgmt only handles STA interfaces.Benoit Papillault
commit e5de30c9bf4a39db9f54c4a373470ce65881ade0 upstream. ieee80211_set_power_mgmt is meant for STA interfaces only. Moreover, since sdata->u.mgd.mtx is only initialized for STA interfaces, using this code for any other type of interface (like creating a monitor interface) will result in a oops.

2010-01-28netfilter: xtables: fix conntrack match v1 ipt-save outputFlorian Westphal
commit 3a0429292daa0e1ec848bd26479f5e48b0d54a42 upstream. commit d6d3f08b0fd998b647a05540cedd11a067b72867 (netfilter: xtables: conntrack match revision 2) does break the v1 conntrack match iptables-save output in a subtle way. Problem is as follows: up = kmalloc(sizeof(*up), GFP_KERNEL); [..] /* * The strategy here is to minimize the overhead of v1 matching, * by prebuilding a v2 struct and putting the pointer into the * v1 dataspace. */ memcpy(up, info, offsetof(typeof(*info), state_mask)); [..] *(void **)info = up; As the v2 struct pointer is saved in the match data space, it clobbers the first structure member (->origsrc_addr). Because the _v1 match function grabs this pointer and does not actually look at the v1 origsrc, run time functionality does not break. But iptables -nvL (or iptables-save) cannot know that v1 origsrc_addr has been overloaded in this way: $ iptables -p tcp -A OUTPUT -m conntrack --ctorigsrc 10.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT $ iptables-save -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m conntrack --ctorigsrc 128.173.134.206 -j ACCEPT (128.173... is the address to the v2 match structure). To fix this, we take advantage of the fact that the v1 and v2 structures are identical with exception of the last two structure members (u8 in v1, u16 in v2). We extract them as early as possible and prevent the v2 matching function from looking at those two members directly.

2010-01-18ipv6: skb_dst() can be NULL in ipv6_hop_jumbo().David S. Miller
commit 2570a4f5428bcdb1077622342181755741e7fa60 upstream. This fixes CERT-FI FICORA #341748 Discovered by Olli Jarva and Tuomo Untinen from the CROSS project at Codenomicon Ltd. Just like in CVE-2007-4567, we can't rely upon skb_dst() being non-NULL at this point. We fixed that in commit e76b2b2567b83448c2ee85a896433b96150c92e6 ("[IPV6]: Do no rely on skb->dst before it is assigned.") However commit 483a47d2fe794328d29950fe00ce26dd405d9437 ("ipv6: added net argument to IP6_INC_STATS_BH") put a new version of the same bug into this function. Complicating analysis further, this bug can only trigger when network namespaces are enabled in the build. When namespaces are turned off, the dev_net() does not evaluate it's argument, so the dereference would not occur. So, for a long time, namespaces couldn't be turned on unless SYSFS was disabled. Therefore, this code has largely been disabled except by people turning it on explicitly for namespace development. With help from Eugene Teo <eugene@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-01-18mac80211: fix skb buffering issue (and fixes to that)Johannes Berg
This is a backport of the mainline patches cf0277e714a0db302a8f80e1b85fd61c32cf00b3 045cfb71a3901005bf6dcedae98cecb3360a0bfc b49bb574e44226b332c28439999d196ddec2f643 Here is the description of the first of those patches (the other two just fixed bugs added by that patch): Since I removed the master netdev, we've been keeping internal queues only, and even before that we never told the networking stack above the virtual interfaces about congestion. This means that packets are queued in mac80211 and the upper layers never know, possibly leading to memory exhaustion and other problems. This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding queues for the virtual interfaces as well. The injection case will use VO by default for non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow chosing the queue/AC in radiotap. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: John W.

2010-01-18sunrpc: on successful gss error pipe write, don't return errorJeff Layton
commit 486bad2e40e938cd68fd853b7a9fa3115a9d3a4a upstream. When handling the gssd downcall, the kernel should distinguish between a successful downcall that contains an error code and a failed downcall (i.e. where the parsing failed or some other sort of problem occurred). In the former case, gss_pipe_downcall should be returning the number of bytes written to the pipe instead of an error. In the event of other errors, we generally want the initiating task to retry the upcall so we set msg.errno to -EAGAIN. An unexpected error code here is a bug however, so BUG() in that case.

2010-01-18sunrpc: fix peername failed on closed listenerXiaotian Feng

This warning message was outputed by svc_tcp_accept() [net/sunrpc/svcsock.c], when kernel_getpeername returns -107. This means socket might be CLOSED. And svc_tcp_accept was called by svc_recv() [net/sunrpc/svc_xprt.c] if (test_bit(XPT_LISTENER, &xprt->xpt_flags)) { <snip> newxpt = xprt->xpt_ops->xpo_accept(xprt); <snip> So this might happen when xprt->xpt_flags has both XPT_LISTENER and XPT_CLOSE.

2010-01-06netfilter: fix crashes in bridge netfilter caused by fragment jumpsPatrick McHardy
commit 8fa9ff6849bb86c59cc2ea9faadf3cb2d5223497 upstream. When fragments from bridge netfilter are passed to IPv4 or IPv6 conntrack and a reassembly queue with the same fragment key already exists from reassembling a similar packet received on a different device (f.i. with multicasted fragments), the reassembled packet might continue on a different codepath than where the head fragment originated. This can cause crashes in bridge netfilter when a fragment received on a non-bridge device (and thus with skb->nf_bridge == NULL) continues through the bridge netfilter code. Add a new reassembly identifier for packets originating from bridge netfilter and use it to put those packets in insolated queues.

delivery commit 0b5ccb2ee250136dd7385b1c7da28417d0d4d32d upstream. Currently the same reassembly queue might be used for packets reassembled by conntrack in different positions in the stack (PREROUTING/LOCAL_OUT), as well as local delivery. This can cause "packet jumps" when the fragment completing a reassembled packet is queued from a different position in the stack than the previous ones. Add a "user" identifier to the reassembly queue key to seperate the queues of each caller, similar to what we do for IPv4.

2010-01-06mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_workLuis R. Rodriguez
commit b98c06b6debfe84c90200143bb1102f312f50a33 upstream. When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked. If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable upon resume. Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the beginning of suspend cycle. The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch. For further details see refer to the thread: http://marc.info/?t=126144866100001&r=1&w=2 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

commit 24feda0084722189468a65e20019cdd8ef99702b upstream. mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

2009-12-18ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a socketPatrick McHardy
[ Upstream commit b2722b1c3a893ec6021508da15b32282ec79f4da ] When a large packet gets reassembled by ip_defrag(), the head skb accounts for all the fragments in skb->truesize. If this packet is refragmented again, skb->truesize is not re-adjusted to reflect only the head size since its not owned by a socket. If the head fragment then gets recycled and reused for another received fragment, it might exceed the defragmentation limits due to its large truesize value. skb_recycle_check() explicitly checks for linear skbs, so any recycled skb should reflect its true size in skb->truesize. Change ip_fragment() to also adjust the truesize value of skbs not owned by a socket.

Paths to mesh portals were being timed out immediately after each use in intermediate forwarding nodes. mppath->exp_time is set to the expiration time so assigning it to jiffies was marking the path as expired.

2009-12-18mac80211: Fix bug in computing crc over dynamic IEs in beaconVasanthakumar Thiagarajan
commit 1814077fd12a9cdf478c10076e9c42094e9d9250 upstream. On a 32-bit machine, BIT() macro does not give the required bit value if the bit is mroe than 31. In ieee802_11_parse_elems_crc(), BIT() is suppossed to get the bit value more than 31 (42 (id of ERP_INFO_IE), 37 (CHANNEL_SWITCH_IE), (42), 32 (POWER_CONSTRAINT_IE), 45 (HT_CAP_IE), 61 (HT_INFO_IE)). As we do not get the required bit value for the above IEs, crc over these IEs are never calculated, so any dynamic change in these IEs after the association is not really handled on 32-bit platforms.

2009-11-30mac80211: fix spurious delBA handlingJohannes Berg
Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211 was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up changing the order in which things were done -- this was commit d75636ef9c1af224f1097941879d5a8db7cd04e5 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Tue Feb 10 21:25:53 2009 +0100 mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session and other parts were already present in the original commit d92684e66091c0f0101819619b315b4bb8b5bcc5 Author: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com> Date: Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200 mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE. The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a race window where crashes could happen before the driver accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers. For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it: 1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful about the session state; don't drop the lock 2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop even before the session was really started -- this is true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

NULL ptr OOPS ipv4 ip_frag_reasm(), fully replace 'dev_net(dev)' with 'net', defined previously patched into 2.6.29. Between 2.6.28.10 and 2.6.29, net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c was patched, changing from dev_net(dev) to container_of(...). Unfortunately the goto section (out_fail) on oversized packets inside ip_frag_reasm() didn't get touched up as well. Oversized IP packets cause a NULL pointer dereference and immediate hang.

2009-11-29sctp: on T3_RTX retransmit all the in-flight chunksAndrei Pelinescu-Onciul
When retransmitting due to T3 timeout, retransmit all the in-flight chunks for the corresponding transport/path, including chunks sent less then 1 rto ago. This is the correct behaviour according to rfc4960 section 6.3.3 E3 and "Note: Any DATA chunks that were sent to the address for which the T3-rtx timer expired but did not fit in one MTU (rule E3 above) should be marked for retransmission and sent as soon as cwnd allows (normally, when a SACK arrives). ". This fixes problems when more then one path is present and the T3 retransmission of the first chunk that timeouts stops the T3 timer for the initial active path, leaving all the other in-flight chunks waiting forever or until a new chunk is transmitted on the same path and timeouts (and this will happen only if the cwnd allows sending new chunks, but since cwnd was dropped to MTU by the timeout => it will wait until the first heartbeat). Example: 10 packets in flight, sent at 0.1 s intervals on the primary path. The primary path is down and the first packet timeouts. The first packet is retransmitted on another path, the T3 timer for the primary path is stopped and cwnd is set to MTU. All the other 9 in-flight packets will not be retransmitted (unless more new packets are sent on the primary path which depend on cwnd allowing it, and even in this case the 9 packets will be retransmitted only after a new packet timeouts which even in the best case would be more then RTO). This commit reverts d0ce92910bc04e107b2f3f2048f07e94f570035d and also removes the now unused transport->last_rto, introduced in b6157d8e03e1e780660a328f7183bcbfa4a93a19. p.s The problem is not only when multiple paths are there. It can happen in a single homed environment. If the application stops sending data, it possible to have a hung association.

2009-11-19mac80211: fix resumeJohannes Berg
When mac80211 resumes, it currently first sets suspended to false so the driver can start doing things and we can receive frames. However, if we actually receive frames then it can end up starting some work which adds timers and then later runs into a BUG_ON in the timer code because it tries add_timer() on a pending timer. Fix this by keeping track of the resuming process by introducing a new variable 'resuming' which gets set to true early on instead of setting 'suspended' to false, and allow queueing work but not receiving frames while resuming.

For that the timer function only needs to check the HT_ADDBA_RECEIVED_MSK bit as well as the HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK bit, only if the former is clear should it do anything.

When we've merged skb's with page frags, and subsequently receive a trailer skb (< MSS) that is not completely non-linear (this can occur on Intel NICs if the packet size falls below the threshold), GRO ends up producing an illegal GSO skb with a frag_list. This is harmless unless the skb is then forwarded through an interface that requires software GSO, whereupon the GSO code will BUG.
