| * svc: Clean up deferred requests on transport destructionTom Tucker2009-01-071-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A race between svc_revisit and svc_delete_xprt can result in deferred requests holding references on a transport that can never be recovered because dead transports are not enqueued for subsequent processing. Check for XPT_DEAD in revisit to clean up completing deferrals on a dead transport and sweep a transport's deferred queue to do the same for queued but unprocessed deferrals.

| * svc: Move kfree of deferral record to common codeTom Tucker2009-01-072-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rqstp structure has a pointer to a svc_deferred_req record that is allocated when requests are deferred. This record is common to all transports and can be freed in common code. Move the kfree of the rq_deferred to the common svc_xprt_release function. This also fixes a memory leak in the RDMA transport which does not kfree the dr structure in it's version of the xpo_release_rqst callback.

| * sunrpc: add sv_maxconn field to svc_serv (try #3)Jeff Layton2009-01-061-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | svc_check_conn_limits() attempts to prevent denial of service attacks by having the service close old connections once it reaches a threshold. This threshold is based on the number of threads in the service: (serv->sv_nrthreads + 3) * 20 Once we reach this, we drop the oldest connections and a printk pops to warn the admin that they should increase the number of threads. Increasing the number of threads isn't an option however for services like lockd. We don't want to eliminate this check entirely for such services but we need some way to increase this limit. This patch adds a sv_maxconn field to the svc_serv struct. When it's set to 0, we use the current method to calculate the max number of connections. RPC services can then set this on an as-needed basis. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc. - RF-kill framework integration Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every time it changes. Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch status. Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space. - Reset a WiMAX device Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space. This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way. The WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are discovered and provisioned. The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction layer should be. The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to genl_unregister_mc_group(), to allow unregistering groups on the run. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is not used as the rest of the functions exported by this module (eg: genl_register_mc_group) are also not _GPL(). Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for external consumption. This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc groups.

Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on __LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3], and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link, I don't know if and when it may get set.) The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time out the first time. The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call entirely as the previous fix did.

| * | gro: Add page frag supportHerbert Xu2009-01-042-6/+99

It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to allow GRO packets without frag_list at all, we need to store the MSS in the packet itself. The obvious place is gso_size. The only thing to watch out for is if the packet ends up not being GRO then we need to clear gso_size before pushing the packet into the stack.

| * | ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.David S. Miller2009-01-041-5/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

These values specify matching rules for principals in the keytab file. The "*" means that gssd is allowed to use "root", "nfs", or "host" keytab entries while the other option requires "nfs". Restricting gssd to use the "nfs" principal is needed for when the server performs a callback to the client. The server in this case has to authenticate itself as an "nfs" principal. We also need "service" field to distiguish between two client-side cases both currently using a uid of 0: the case of regular file access by the root user, and the case of state-management calls (such as setclientid) which should use a keytab for authentication. (And the upcall should fail if an appropriate principal can't be found.) Signed-off: Olga Kornievskaia <aglo@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: J.
