2012-03-17netfilter: ctnetlink: fix race between delete and timeout expirationPablo Neira Ayuso
Kerin Millar reported hardlockups while running `conntrackd -c' in a busy firewall. That system (with several processors) was acting as backup in a primary-backup setup. After several tries, I found a race condition between the deletion operation of ctnetlink and timeout expiration. This patch fixes this problem.

2012-03-17arp: allow arp processing to honor per interface arp_accept sysctlNeil Horman
I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process flag. This seems wrong, as it implies that either none or all of the network interfaces accept gratuitous arps. This patch corrects that, allowing per-interface arp_accept configuration to deviate from the all setting. Note this also brings us into line with the way the arp_filter setting is handled during arp_process execution. Tested this myself on my home network, and confirmed it works as expected.

2012-03-16sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flowsEric Dumazet
This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows) As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects. In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for unlimited amount of time. It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would add complexity outside of SFQ scope. A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.

2012-03-13mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deafPaul Stewart
When regulatory information changes our HT behavior (e.g, when we get a country code from the AP we have just associated with), we should use this information to change the power with which we transmit, and what channels we transmit. Sometimes the channel parameters we derive from regulatory information contradicts the parameters we used in association. For example, we could have associated specifying HT40, but the regulatory rules we apply may forbid HT40 operation. In the situation above, we should reconfigure ourselves to transmit in HT20 only, however it makes no sense for us to disable receive in HT40, since if we associated with these parameters, the AP has every reason to expect we can and will receive packets this way. The code in mac80211 does not have the capability of sending the appropriate action frames to signal a change in HT behaviour so the AP has no clue we can no longer receive frames encoded this way. In some broken AP implementations, this can leave us effectively deaf if the AP never retries in lower HT rates. This change breaks up the channel_type parameter in the ieee80211_enable_ht function into a separate receive and transmit part. It honors the channel flags set by regulatory in order to configure the rate control algorithm, but uses the capability flags to configure the channel on the radio, since these were used in association to set the AP's transmit rate.

2012-03-13mac80211: rename bss_conf timestamp to last_tsfJohannes Berg
This value is not really very useful by itself, yet some drivers (including iwlwifi until I can figure out what it should do) use it. At least rename it to "last_tsf" to indicate the meaning and add a note that it may be really old. I suspect the value may become useful combined with the rx_status->mactime, but we don't (yet) store that value and pass it to the driver.

2012-03-12mac80211: set basic rates earlierJohannes Berg

2012-03-12mac80211: set channel back after disassociatingJohannes Berg
As we've discussed, we want to avoid channel changes while associated. While the part when we actually associate needs a bit more work, the bit that happens on disassociating can be changed quite easily. Move the channel type change later in the disassociate process to set the channel only after the driver was told that it's now disassociated. As the driver could expect powersave to be enabled only when associated, this thus results in splitting the config call, but overall what happens makes more sense this way.

2012-03-12mac80211: Limit TID buffering during BA session setup/teardownHelmut Schaa
While setting up or tearing down a BA session mac80211 is buffering pending frames for the according TID. However, there's currently no limit on how many frames are buffered possibly leading to an out-of- memory situation. This can happen on systems with little memory when the CPU is fully loaded since the BA session work is executed in process context while frames can still come via softirq.

2012-03-11tcp: fix syncookie regressionEric Dumazet
commit ea4fc0d619 (ipv4: Don't use rt->rt_{src,dst} in ip_queue_xmit()) added a serious regression on synflood handling. Simon Kirby discovered a successful connection was delayed by 20 seconds before being responsive. In my tests, I discovered that xmit frames were lost, and needed ~4 retransmits and a socket dst rebuild before being really sent. In case of syncookie initiated connection, we use a different path to initialize the socket dst, and inet->cork.fl.u.ip4 is left cleared. As ip_queue_xmit() now depends on inet flow being setup, fix this by copying the temp flowi4 we use in cookie_v4_check().
