Don't reinitialize the callback mutex the netlink_kernel_create caller handed in, it is supposed to already be initialized and could already be held by someone. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since we're now holding the rtnl during the entire dump operation, we can remove additional locking for rtnl protected data. This patch does that for all simple cases (dev_base_lock for dev_base walking, RCU protection for FIB rule dumping). Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Hold rtnl_mutex during the entire netlink dump operation. This allows to simplify locking in the dump callbacks, since they can now rely on that no concurrent changes happen. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks. All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any side-effects of the previously used spinlock. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

Don't fallback to group 0 if no instance can be found for the given group. This potentially confuses the listener and is not what the user configured. Also remove the ring buffer spamming that happens when rules are set up before the logging daemon is started. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

The attached patch adds gratuitous arp filtering, more precisely: it allows checking that the IPv4 source address matches the IPv4 destination address inside the ARP header. It also adds a check for the hardware address type when matching MAC addresses (nothing critical, just for better consistency).

This fixes an error in the calculation of t_ipi when X converges towards very low sending rates (between 1 and 64 bytes per second). Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting, hitting enter (1 byte sent) and waiting for some time, during which the nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region 1..64 bytes/sec. Computing X is handled correctly (tested separately); but by dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as a result. This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div(). Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good measure. Calculation verified and effect of patch tested - reduced never below 1 byte per 64 seconds afterwards, i.e. not allowing divide-by-zero.

This patchset based on work by Aji_Srinivas@emc.com provides allows spanning tree to be controled from userspace. Like hotplug, it uses call_usermodehelper when spanning tree is enabled so there is no visible API change. If call to start usermode STP fails it falls back to existing kernel STP.

While in the STP learning state, don't route packets; wait until forwarding delay has expired. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to detect loops in the network, and if a brouter started up and started forwarding, it could cause a flood.

When a transmitted packet is looped back directly, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL maps to the semantics of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. Therefore we should treat it as such in the stack. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When csum_offset was introduced we did a conversion from csum to csum_offset where applicable. A couple of drivers were missed in this process. It was harmless to begin with since the two fields coincided. Now that we've made them different with the addition of csum_start, the missed drivers must be converted or they can't send packets out at all that require checksum offload.

The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately, the same pointer is also used during receive side processing. This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer would be overwritten. This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that it does not have to change when skb->data changes. No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start. For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

esp_init_state doesn't account for the beet pseudo header in the header_len calculation, which may result in undersized skbs hitting xfrm4_beet_output, causing unnecessary reallocations in ip_finish_output2. The skbs should still always have enough room to avoid causing skb_under_panic in skb_push since we have at least 16 bytes available from LL_RESERVED_SPACE in xfrm_state_check_space.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if this were done by default. 1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device". 2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one" 3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set. 4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if ->get_stats is set. This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code. Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.
