Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...
2013-07-03drivers: avoid format strings in names passed to alloc_workqueue()Kees Cook1-1/+1
For the workqueue creation interfaces that do not expect format strings, make sure they cannot accidently be parsed that way. Additionally, clean up calls made with a single parameter that would be handled as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.

Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c net/wireless/nl80211.c The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right next to the deletion of another option. The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-06-19cfg80211: require passing BSS struct back to cfg80211_assoc_timeoutJohannes Berg1-8/+7
Doing so will allow us to hold the BSS (not just ref it) over the association process, thus ensuring that it doesn't time out and gets invisible to the user (e.g. in 'iw wlan0 link'.) This also fixes a leak in mac80211 where it doesn't always release the BSS struct properly in all cases where calling this function. This leak was reported by Ben Greear.

2013-06-18Revert "mac80211: in IBSS use the Auth frame to trigger STA reinsertion"Antonio Quartulli3-46/+7
This reverts commit 6d810f10325522cfcf498dc6d64b9f96e1f5153f In this way an IBSS station will not use the AUTH messages to trigger a state reinitialisation anymore. The behaviour was racy and was not working properly. It has been introduced to help wpa_supplicant to support IBSS/RSN, however all the logic is now getting moved into wpa_s itself which will also be in charge of handling the AUTH messages thanks to the mgmt frame registration. If userspace does not register for receiving AUTH frames then mac80211 will still reply by itself. At the same time, the auth frame registration counter can be removed since it is not needed anymore.

2013-06-18mac80211: update mesh beacon on workqueueThomas Pedersen3-12/+44
Instead of updating the mesh beacon immediately when requested (which would require the sdata_lock()), defer it to the mac80211 workqueue. Fixes yet another deadlock on calling sta_info_flush() with the sdata_lock() held from ieee80211_stop_mesh(). We could just drop the sdata_lock() around the mesh_sta_cleanup() call, but this path is also taken from several non-locked error paths.

2013-06-12mac80211: work around broken APs not including HT infoJohannes Berg3-11/+85
There are some APs, notably 2G/3G/4G Wifi routers, specifically the "Onda PN51T", "Vodafone PocketWiFi 2", "ZTE MF60" and a similar T-Mobile branded device [1] that erroneously don't include all the needed information in (re)association response frames. Work around this by assuming the information is the same as it was in the beacon or probe response and using the data from there instead. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58881.

2013-05-29mac80211: always send multicast on CAB queueJohannes Berg1-2/+3
If the driver advertised support for a CAB queue, then we should put all multicast frames there, otherwise sending them can be racy with clients going to sleep while we TX a frame. To avoid this, always TX multicast frames on the multicast queue. It seems like even drivers not using the queue framework might want to do this which would mean also moving the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM flag assignment, but it also seems that drivers behave differently here so that just moving it wouldn't be a good idea.

2013-05-27mac80211: close AP_VLAN interfaces before unregistering allJohannes Berg1-0/+9
Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces") there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

2013-05-27mac80211: assign AP_VLAN hw queues correctlyJohannes Berg1-0/+3
A lot of code in mac80211 assumes that the hw queues are set up correctly for all interfaces (except for monitor) but this isn't true for AP_VLAN interfaces. Fix this by copying the AP master configuration when an AP VLAN is brought up, after this the AP interface can't change its configuration any more and needs to be brought down to change it, which also forces AP_VLAN interfaces down, so just copying in open() is sufficient.

Using separate locks in cfg80211 and mac80211 has always caused issues, for example having to unlock in places in mac80211 to call cfg80211, which even needed a framework to make cfg80211 calls after some functions returned etc. Additionally, I suspect some issues people have reported with the cfg80211 state getting confused could be due to such issues, when cfg80211 is asking mac80211 to change state but mac80211 is in the process of telling cfg80211 that the state changed (in another way.)

2013-05-24mac80211: add STBC flag for radiotapOleksij Rempel1-0/+4
Some chips can tell us if received frame was encoded with STBC or not. To make this information available in user space we can use updated radiotap specification: http://www.radiotap.org/defined-fields/MCS This patch will set number of STBC encoded spatial streams (Nss). The HAVE_STBC flag should be provided by driver. Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel <linux@rempel-privat.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
