Nicolas Dichtel [Wed, 2 Feb 2011 06:29:02 +0000 (06:29 +0000)] 
ipsec: allow to align IPv4 AH on 32 bits

The Linux IPv4 AH stack aligns the AH header on a 64 bit boundary
(like in IPv6). This is not RFC compliant (see RFC4302, Section
3.3.3.2.1), it should be aligned on 32 bits.

For most of the authentication algorithms, the ICV size is 96 bits.
The AH header alignment on 32 or 64 bits gives the same results.

However for SHA-256-128 for instance, the wrong 64 bit alignment results
in adding useless padding in IPv4 AH, which is forbidden by the RFC.

To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we use a new flag
(XFRM_STATE_ALIGN4) do change original behavior.

ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]:

   Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance,
   there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the
   next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6)
   which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and
   the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*.

   The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the
   beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the
   hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic
   and of course, they might miss it completely.

   It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

niu: Fix races between up/down and get_stats.

As reported by Flavio Leitner, there is no synchronization to protect
NIU's get_stats method from seeing a NULL pointer in either
np->rx_rings or np->tx_rings.  In fact, as far as ->ndo_get_stats
is concerned, these values are set completely asynchronously.

Flavio attempted to fix this using a RW semaphore, which in fact
works most of the time.  However, dev_get_stats() can be invoked
from non-sleepable contexts in some cases, so this fix doesn't
work in all cases.

So instead, control the visibility of the np->{rx,tx}_ring pointers
when the device is being brough up, and use properties of the device
down sequence to our advantage.

In niu_get_stats(), return immediately if netif_running() is false.
The device shutdown sequence first marks the device as not running (by
clearing the __LINK_STATE_START bit), then it performans a
synchronize_rcu() (in dev_deactive_many()), and then finally it
invokes the driver ->ndo_stop() method.

This guarentees that all invocations of niu_get_stats() either see
netif_running() as false, or they see the channel pointers before
->ndo_stop() clears them out.

If netif_running() is true, protect against startup races by loading
the np->{rx,tx}_rings pointer into a local variable, and punting if
it is NULL.  Use ACCESS_ONCE to prevent the compiler from reloading
the pointer on us.

Also, during open, control the order in which the pointers and the
ring counts become visible globally using SMP write memory barriers.

mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIP

TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael
MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to
the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to
send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior
has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for
convenient use.

The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211
netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file
makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using
invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one
of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast
frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current
BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only
when associated and using TKIP.

wl1251: fix queue stopping/waking for TX path

The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause the TX to stall if the right circumstances are met.

The problem was caused by tx_work, which is scheduled on each TX operation.
If the firmware buffer is full, tx_work does nothing. In combinition with
stopped queues or non-continues transfers, tx_work is never scheduled again.
Moreover the low watermark introduced by
9df86e2e702c6d5547aced7f241addd2d698bb11 never takes effect because of some
old code.

Solve this by scheduling tx_work every time tx_queue is non-empty and
firmware buffer is freed on tx_complete.

This also solves a possible but unlikely case: If less frames than the high
watermark are queued, but more than firmware buffer can hold. This results
in queues staying awake but the only scheduled tx_work doesn't transfer all
frames, so the remaining frames are stuck in the queue until more frames
get queued and tx_work is scheduled again.

sched: CHOKe flow scheduler

CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative
packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm.

The core idea is:
  For every packet arrival:
   Calculate Qave
if (Qave < minth)
     Queue the new packet
else
     Select randomly a packet from the queue
     if (both packets from same flow)
     then Drop both the packets
     else if (Qave > maxth)
          Drop packet
     else
          Admit packet with proability p (same as RED)

sfq: deadlock in error path

The change to allow divisor to be a parameter (in 2.6.38-rc1)
 commit 817fb15dfd988d8dda916ee04fa506f0c466b9d6
introduced a possible deadlock caught by sparse.

The scheduler tree lock was left locked in the case of an incorrect
divisor value. Simplest fix is to move test outside of lock
which also solves problem of partial update.

If we end up including include/linux/node.h (either explicitly

So rename the one we use in fib_trie to "rt_trie_node" to avoid
the conflict.
