mac80211 should set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DO_NOT_ENCRYPT flag in tx_control structure to inform drivers not to encrypt the beacon. Drivers that only check for that flag before accessing the hw_key field, will otherwise cause a NULL pointer dereference since that field is not configured for beacons.

When, for some reason, the rt2x00pci module fails to allocate DMA memory for the queues, it tries to undo the complete initialization of the PCI device, including freeing of the irq. This results in the following error in dmesg, as the irq hadn't been requested yet: [ 78.123456] Trying to free already-free IRQ 17 Fix this by implementing proper error handling code, instead of just using the full uninitialization function.

During initialization the initialize() callback function in rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb will cleanup the mess they made. rt2x00lib shouldn't call uninitialize because the callback function already cleaned up _and_ the DEVICE_INITIALIZED isn't set which causes the rt2x00lib_uninitialize() to halt directly anyway. All that is required to be cleaned up by rt2x00lib is the queue, and that can be done by calling rt2x00queue_uninitialize() directly.

rt2x00pci allocates DMA for descriptor and data, rt61pci doesn't use this for the beacon, but it can use the descriptor part as temporary buffer instead of using pskb_expand_head(). Using this temporary buffer is obviously much better then reallocating the skb buffer... At the same time we can set the data length for the beacon queue at 0, to make sure no DMA is allocated for data (but just for the descriptor).

A file in the net/mac80211 directory uses "int" for flags. This can cause hard to find bugs on some architectures. This patch converts the flags to use "long" instead. This bug was discovered by doing an allyesconfig make on the -rt kernel where checks are done to ensure all flags are of size sizeof(long).

When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net. The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure - the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not registered) are always false in this case. So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is *not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices want to remove their private areas from lists, etc. I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur. The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex> one, since ifindexes are still unique. So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and "123" back to back. The first requests will elicit error responses from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP expectations even though we might still see a positive response. Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a negative response for that sequence number.

As noticed by Ben Greear, macvlan crashes the kernel when unloading the module. The reason is that it tries to clean up the macvlan_port pointer on the macvlan device itself instead of the underlying device. A non-NULL pointer is taken as indication that the macvlan_handle_frame_hook is valid, when receiving the next packet on the underlying device it tries to call the NULL hook and crashes. Clean up the macvlan_port on the correct device to fix this. Signed-off-by; Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Tested-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit). There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow. This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO. An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO. In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue. The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow. In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most frequently with some small devices such as network printers that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be retransmitted in order to continue. I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla #10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com> had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure out.

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10577 I was unable to access a computer containing an Intel EtherExpress 16 network card using IPv6. I traced this to failure of neighbour discovery. When I used an "ip -6 neigh add" command, on the computer attempting access, to insert a binding between the IPv6 address of the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card and the card's ethernet address, I was able to access that computer using IPv6. Neighbour discovery requires working multicast. The driver sources file eexpress.c contains an approximately 30 line function eexp_setup_filter used when loading multicast addresses. I found 3 problems in this function 1) It wrote the number of multicast addresses to the card instead of the number of bytes in the multicast addresses. 2) When loading multiple multicast addresses it loaded the first one provided multiple times instead of loading each one once. 3) The setting of pointer 'data' from 'dmi->dmi_addr' occured before the test for the error situation of 'dmi' being NULL. Correcting these problems allows the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card to found by IPv6 neighbour discovery. p.s. There is some information on the Intel EtherExpress 16 at http://www.intel.com/support/etherexpress/vintage/sb/cs-013500.htm Datasheet for the Intel 82586 ethernet controller used by the card http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/8/2/5/8/82586.shtmlSigned-off-by: Bruce Robson <bns_robson@hotmail.com> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

This patch adds support for the BM PHY, a new PHY model being used on ICH9-based implementations. This new PHY exposes issues in the ICH9 silicon when receiving jumbo frames large enough to use more than a certain part of the Rx FIFO, and this unfortunately breaks packet split jumbo receives. For this reason we re-introduce (for affected adapters only) the jumbo single-skb receive routine back so that people who do wish to use jumbo frames on these ich9 platforms can do so. Part of this problem has to do with CPU sleep states and to make sure that all the wake up timings are correctly we force them with the recently merged pm_qos infrastructure written by Mark Gross. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/4/400). To make code read a bit easier we introduce a _IS_ICH flag so that we don't need to do mac type checks over the code.
