877ce7c1b3 [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec
This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.

Patch purpose:

This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.

Patch design and implementation:

The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.

An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:

toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
    cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
    if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
        memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
    }
}

sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.

Testing:

We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

c7bdb545d2 [NETLINK]: Encapsulate eff_cap usage within security framework.
This patch encapsulates the usage of eff_cap (in netlink_skb_params) within
the security framework by extending security_netlink_recv to include a required
capability parameter and converting all direct usage of eff_caps outside
of the lsm modules to use the interface.  It also updates the SELinux
implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv
hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct.
This also enables SELinux to perform auditing of netlink capability checks.
Please apply, for 2.6.18 if possible.

576a30eb64 [NET]: Added GSO header verification
When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain),
we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware.

Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY.  Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST.  If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.

This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag.  The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support.  We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them.  The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.

068c6e98bc [NET] netpoll: break recursive loop in netpoll rx path
The netpoll system currently has a rx to tx path via:

netpoll_rx
 __netpoll_rx
  arp_reply
   netpoll_send_skb
    dev->hard_start_tx

This rx->tx loop places network drivers at risk of inadvertently causing a
deadlock or BUG halt by recursively trying to acquire a spinlock that is
used in both their rx and tx paths (this problem was origionally reported
to me in the 3c59x driver, which shares a spinlock between the
boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit routines).

This patch breaks this loop, by queueing arp frames, so that they can be
responded to after all receive operations have been completed.  Tested by
myself and the reported with successful results.

Specifically it was tested with netdump.  Heres the BZ with details:

f72b948dcb [NET]: skb_find_text ignores to argument
skb_find_text takes a "to" argument which is supposed to limit how
far into the skb it will search for the given text.  At present,
it seems to ignore that argument on the first skb, and instead
return a match even if the text occurs beyond the limit.

Patch below fixes this, after adjusting for the "from" starting
point.  This consequently fixes the netfilter string match's "--to"
handling, which currently is broken.

f6a78bfcb1 [NET]: Add generic segmentation offload
This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload.
The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware
support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just
before the entry point into the NIC driver.

The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as
UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.

7967168cef [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

d4828d85d1 [NET]: Prevent transmission after dev_deactivate
The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of
lockless drivers.  In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end
has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers.

With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing
the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine
of the underlying driver will be made.

The idea is simple.  There are two entry points in to the xmit routine.
The first comes from dev_queue_xmit.  That one is easily stopped by
using synchronize_rcu.  This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc
before the synchronize_rcu call.  That in turn causes all subsequent
packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped.  The synchronize_rcu call
also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section.

The other entry point is from qdisc_run.  Since we now have a bit that
indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the
bit is off.

I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear.  This is
useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again.  It is
also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run.

I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only
purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have
exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

5b057c6b1a [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad
First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.

This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.

Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.

364c6badde [NET]: Clean up skb_linearize
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised.  So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.

Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.

Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.

Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore.  If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

bd89efc532 [NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.
The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff>
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.

Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.

To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doing

ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable

Looking at the ARP tables by using 

ip neigh show

will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.

This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().

Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.

[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
  use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock.  Instead we remember that
  we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
  the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

easily handle wrap-arounds by making sure that we don't delay things
by more than one second.

This is based on diagnosis and a patch by Stefan Rompf.

f07d5b9465 [NET]: Make netdev_chain a raw notifier.
From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

This chain does it's own locking via the RTNL semaphore, and
can also run recursively so adding a new mutex here was causing
deadlocks.

dc6de33674 [NET]: Add skb->truesize assertion checking.
Add some sanity checking.  truesize should be at least sizeof(struct
sk_buff) plus the current packet length.  If not, then truesize is
seriously mangled and deserves a kernel log message.

Currently we'll do the check for release of stream socket buffers.

But we can add checks to more spots over time.

Incorporating ideas from Herbert Xu.

848ef85552 [PATCH] wext: Fix RtNetlink ENCODE security permissions
I've just realised that the RtNetlink code does not check the
permission for SIOCGIWENCODE and SIOCGIWENCODEEXT, which means that
any user can read the encryption keys. The fix is trivial and should
go in 2.6.17 alonside the two other patch I sent you last week.

6f91204225 [PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: network codes
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under /net

56079431b6 [NET]: Deinline some larger functions from netdevice.h
On a allyesconfig'ured kernel:

Size  Uses Wasted Name and definition
===== ==== ====== ================================================
   95  162  12075 netif_wake_queue      include/linux/netdevice.h
  129   86   9265 dev_kfree_skb_any     include/linux/netdevice.h
  127   56   5885 netif_device_attach   include/linux/netdevice.h
   73   86   4505 dev_kfree_skb_irq     include/linux/netdevice.h
   46   60   1534 netif_device_detach   include/linux/netdevice.h
  119   16   1485 __netif_rx_schedule   include/linux/netdevice.h
  143    5    492 netif_rx_schedule     include/linux/netdevice.h
   81    7    366 netif_schedule        include/linux/netdevice.h

netif_wake_queue is big because __netif_schedule is a big inline:

static inline void __netif_schedule(struct net_device *dev)
{
        if (!test_and_set_bit(__LINK_STATE_SCHED, &dev->state)) {
                unsigned long flags;
                struct softnet_data *sd;

                local_irq_save(flags);
                sd = &__get_cpu_var(softnet_data);
                dev->next_sched = sd->output_queue;
                sd->output_queue = dev;
                raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ);
                local_irq_restore(flags);
        }
}

static inline void netif_wake_queue(struct net_device *dev)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP
        if (netpoll_trap())
                return;
#endif
        if (test_and_clear_bit(__LINK_STATE_XOFF, &dev->state))
                __netif_schedule(dev);
}

By de-inlining __netif_schedule we are saving a lot of text
at each callsite of netif_wake_queue and netif_schedule.
__netif_rx_schedule is also big, and it makes more sense to keep
both of them out of line.

Patch also deinlines dev_kfree_skb_any. We can deinline dev_kfree_skb_irq
instead... oh well.

netif_device_attach/detach are not hot paths, we can deinline them too.
