Bluetooth: Fix issue with sysfs handling for connections

2009-05-04T21:29:02Z

Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are no longer valid. With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host. The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only registered when the connection has been successfully established. To avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is registered has been moved into the removal work. As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

tcp: Fix tcp_prequeue() to get correct rto_min value

2009-05-04T18:11:01Z

tcp_prequeue() refers to the constant value (TCP_RTO_MIN) regardless of the actual value might be tuned. The following patches fix this and make tcp_prequeue get the actual value returns from tcp_rto_min(). Signed-off-by: Satoru SATOH Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy Pairing

2009-04-28T16:31:38Z

The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within 10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is triggered. If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and broken devices now. Based on a report by Johan Hedberg Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

Bluetooth: Ensure that HCI sysfs add/del is preempt safe

2009-04-28T16:31:38Z

Use a different work_struct variables for add_conn() and del_conn() and use single work queue instead of two for adding and deleting connections. It eliminates the following error on a preemptible kernel: [ 204.358032] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c [ 204.370697] pgd = c0004000 [ 204.373443] [0000000c] *pgd=00000000 [ 204.378601] Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT [ 204.383361] Modules linked in: vfat fat rfcomm sco l2cap sd_mod scsi_mod iphb pvr2d drm omaplfb ps [ 204.438537] CPU: 0 Not tainted (2.6.28-maemo2 #1) [ 204.443664] PC is at klist_put+0x2c/0xb4 [ 204.447601] LR is at klist_put+0x18/0xb4 [ 204.451568] pc : [] lr : [] psr: a0000113 [ 204.451568] sp : cf1b3f10 ip : cf1b3f10 fp : cf1b3f2c [ 204.463104] r10: 00000000 r9 : 00000000 r8 : bf08029c [ 204.468353] r7 : c7869200 r6 : cfbe2690 r5 : c78692c8 r4 : 00000001 [ 204.474945] r3 : 00000001 r2 : cf1b2000 r1 : 00000001 r0 : 00000000 [ 204.481506] Flags: NzCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel [ 204.488861] Control: 10c5387d Table: 887fc018 DAC: 00000017 [ 204.494628] Process btdelconn (pid: 515, stack limit = 0xcf1b22e0) Signed-off-by: Roger Quadros Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann

netfilter: nf_nat: add support for persistent mappings

2009-04-16T16:33:01Z

The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single client. The current behaviour is to choose the address from the range based on source and destination IP, which breaks when communicating with sites having multiple addresses that require all connections to originate from the same IP address. Introduce a IP_NAT_RANGE_PERSISTENT option that controls whether the destination address is taken into account for selecting addresses. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12954 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

ipv6: Fix NULL pointer dereference with time-wait sockets

Commit b2f5e7cd3dee2ed721bf0675e1a1ddebb849aee6 (ipv6: Fix conflict resolutions during ipv6 binding) introduced a regression where time-wait sockets were not treated correctly. This resulted in the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000062 IP: [] ipv4_rcv_saddr_equal+0x61/0x70 ...

netfilter: ctnetlink: fix regression in expectation handling

2009-04-06T15:47:20Z

This patch fixes a regression (introduced by myself in commit 19abb7b: netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver events for conntracks changed from userspace) that results in an expectation re-insertion since __nf_ct_expect_check() may return 0 for expectation timer refreshing. This patch also removes a unnecessary refcount bump that pretended to avoid a possible race condition with event delivery and expectation timers (as said, not needed since we hold a reference to the object since until we finish the expectation setup). This also merges nf_ct_expect_related_report() and nf_ct_expect_related() which look basically the same. Reported-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

net/9p: handle correctly interrupted 9P requests
