PATCH 1/23 mac80211: filter locally-originated multicast frames

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: John W. Linville <[email protected]>

patch b331615722779b078822988843ddffd4eaec9f83 in mainline.

In STA mode, the AP will echo our traffic. This includes multicast traffic.

Receiving these frames confuses some protocols and applications, notably IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection.

PATCH 2/23 mac80211: Improve sanity checks on injected packets

In reply to Greg KH

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Andy Green <[email protected]>

patch 9b8a74e3482f9fc077a88c13fa0ceca8feb0b772 in mainline.

Michael Wu noticed that the skb length checking is not taken care of enough when a packet is presented on the Monitor interface for injection.

This patch improves the sanity checking and removes fake offsets placed into the skb network and transport header.

PATCH 4/23 Fix advertised packet scheduler timer resolution

From: Patrick McHardy <[email protected]>

patch 3c0cfc135829b98f7a4894938652f9ef78e24237 in mainline

The fourth parameter of /proc/net/psched is supposed to show the timer resultion and is used by HTB userspace to calculate the necessary burst rate. Currently we show the clock resolution, which results in a too low burst rate when the two differ.

PATCH 6/23 Fix SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD calculations.

In reply to Greg KH

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <[email protected]>

patch deea84b0ae3d26b41502ae0a39fe7fe134e703d0 in mainline.

[NET]: Fix SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD calculation

The calculation in SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD is incorrect in that it can cause an overflow across a page boundary which is what it's meant to prevent. In particular, the header length (X) should not be lumped together with skb_shared_info. The latter needs to be aligned properly while the header has no choice but to sit in front of wherever the payload is.

Therefore the correct calculation is to take away the aligned size of skb_shared_info, and then subtract the header length. The resulting quantity L satisfies the following inequality:

SKB_DATA_ALIGN(L + X) + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) <= PAGE_SIZE

This is the quantity used by alloc_skb to do the actual allocation.

[TCP]: Fix size calculation in sk_stream_alloc_pskb

[ Upstream commit: fb93134dfc2a6e6fbedc7c270a31da03fce88db9 ]

We round up the header size in sk_stream_alloc_pskb so that TSO packets get zero tail room. Unfortunately this rounding up is not coordinated with the select_size() function used by TCP to calculate the second parameter of sk_stream_alloc_pskb.

As a result, we may allocate more than a page of data in the non-TSO case when exactly one page is desired.

In fact, rounding up the head room is detrimental in the non-TSO case because it makes memory that would otherwise be available to the payload head room. TSO doesn't need this either, all it wants is the guarantee that there is no tail room.

So this patch fixes this by adjusting the skb_reserve call so that exactly the requested amount (which all callers have calculated in a precise way) is made available as tail room.

The MLME request reason code is host-endian and our passing it to the low level functions is host-endian as well since they do the swapping. I noticed that the reason code 768 was sent (0x300) rather than 3 when wpa_supplicant terminates. This removes the superfluous cpu_to_le16() call.

[PKT_SCHED] CLS_U32: Fix endianness problem with u32 classifier hash masks.

While trying to implement u32 hashes in my shaping machine I ran into a possible bug in the u32 hash/bucket computing algorithm (net/sched/cls_u32.c).

The problem occurs only with hash masks that extend over the octet boundary, on little endian machines (where htonl() actually does something).

Let's say that I would like to use 0x3fc0 as the hash mask. This means 8 contiguous "1" bits starting at b6. With such a mask, the expected (and logical) behavior is to hash any address in, for instance, 192.168.0.0/26 in bucket 0, then any address in 192.168.0.64/26 in bucket 1, then 192.168.0.128/26 in bucket 2 and so on.

This is exactly what would happen on a big endian machine, but on little endian machines, what would actually happen with current implementation is 0x3fc0 being reversed (into 0xc03f0000) by htonl() in the userspace tool and then applied to 192.168.x.x in the u32 classifier. When shifting right by 16 bits (rank of first "1" bit in the reversed mask) and applying the divisor mask (0xff for divisor 256), what would actually remain is 0x3f applied on the "168" octet of the address.

One could say is this can be easily worked around by taking endianness into account in userspace and supplying an appropriate mask (0xfc03) that would be turned into contiguous "1" bits when reversed (0x03fc0000). But the actual problem is the network address (inside the packet) not being converted to host order, but used as a host-order value when computing the bucket.

Let's say the network address is written as n31 n30 ... n0, with n0 being the least significant bit. When used directly (without any conversion) on a little endian machine, it becomes n7 ... n0 n8 ..n15 etc in the machine's registers. Thus bits n7 and n8 would no longer be adjacent and 192.168.64.0/26 and 192.168.128.0/26 would no longer be consecutive.

The fix is to apply ntohl() on the hmask before computing fshift, and in u32_hash_fold() convert the packet data to host order before shifting down by fshift.

With helpful feedback from Jamal Hadi Salim and Jarek Poplawski.

[VLAN]: Fix SET_VLAN_INGRESS_PRIORITY_CMD ioctl

Based on report and patch by Doug Kehn <[email protected]>:

vconfig returns the following error when attempting to execute the set_ingress_map command:

vconfig: socket or ioctl error for set_ingress_map: Operation not permitted

In vlan.c, vlan_ioctl_handler for SET_VLAN_INGRESS_PRIORITY_CMD sets err = -EPERM and calls vlan_dev_set_ingress_priority. vlan_dev_set_ingress_priority is a void function so err remains at -EPERM and results in the vconfig error (even though the ingress map was set).

Fix by setting err = 0 after the vlan_dev_set_ingress_priority call.

[IPSEC]: Fix crypto_alloc_comp error checking

[ Upstream commit: 4999f3621f4da622e77931b3d33ada6c7083c705 ]

The function crypto_alloc_comp returns an errno instead of NULL to indicate error. So it needs to be tested with IS_ERR.

This is based on a patch by Vicen� Beltran Querol.

PATCH 15/23 Fix netlink timeouts.

[NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts

[ Upstream commit: c3d8d1e30cace31fed6186a4b8c6b1401836d89c ]

Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again.

ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.

PATCH 16/23 NETFILTER: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening

In reply to Greg KH

Upstream commits: 17311393 + bc34b841 merged together. Merge done by Patrick McHardy <[email protected]>

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening

With your description I could reproduce the bug and actually you were completely right: the code above is incorrect. Somehow I was able to misread RFC1122 and mixed the roles :-(:

When a connection is >>closed actively<<, it MUST linger in TIME-WAIT state for a time 2xMSL (Maximum Segment Lifetime). However, it MAY >>accept<< a new SYN from the remote TCP to reopen the connection directly from TIME-WAIT state, if it:
[...]

The fix is as follows: if the receiver initiated an active close, then the sender may reopen the connection - otherwise try to figure out if we hold a dead connection.

PATCH 20/23 mac80211: store SSID in sta_bss_list

In reply to Greg KH

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: John W. Linville <[email protected]>

patch cffdd30d20d163343b1c6de25bcb0cc978a1ebf9 in mainline.

Some AP equipment "in the wild" services multiple SSIDs using the same BSSID. This patch changes the key of sta_bss_list to include the SSID as well as the BSSID and the channel so as to prevent one SSID from eclipsing another SSID with the same BSSID.

PATCH 23/23 mac80211: make ieee802_11_parse_elems return void

In reply to Greg KH

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: John W. Linville <[email protected]>

patch 67a4cce4a89718d252b61aaf58882c69c0e2f6e3 in mainline.

Some APs send management frames with junk padding after the last IE. We already account for a similar problem with some Apple Airport devices, but at least one device is known to send more than a single extra byte. The device in question is the Draytek Vigor2900:

	http://www.draytek.com.au/products/Vigor2900.php

The junk in question looks like an IE that runs off the end of the frame. This cause us to return ParseFailed. Since the frame in question is an association response, this causes us to fail to associate with this AP.

The return code from ieee802_11_parse_elems is superfluous. All callers still check for the presence of the specific IEs that interest them anyway. So, remove the return code so the parse never "fails".
