Here the local hexbuf is a duplicate of global const char hex_asc from lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases: const char hexbuf[] = "0123456789ABCDEF"; const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef"; and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant. Thanks to Harvey Harrison to introduce the hex_asc_hi/hex_asc_lo helpers.

According to David Monro, at least with Natsemi Saturn chips the cassini driver has some trouble with ipv6 checksums. Until we have more information about what's going on here, only use the chip checksums for ipv4. This workaround was suggested and tested by David. Update version and release date.

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Greg Steuck <greg@nest.cx> points out that some of the netfilter headers can't be used in userspace without including linux/types.h first. The headers include their own linux/types.h include statements, these are stripped by make headers-install because they are inside #ifdef __KERNEL__ however. Move them out to fix this.

In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop. If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the variables may see changes from previous packets. For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211 will not try to decrypt it. We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix the other two.

Am I just being particularly dim today, or can the call to dev->change_rx_flags(dev, IFF_MULTICAST) in dev_change_flags() never happen? We've just set dev->flags = flags & IFF_MULTICAST, effectively.

Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes. When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible. Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this down.

A user reported seeing occasional bugs such as the following when using the L2TP driver. SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (272) len=72, sizeof(sk_buff)=208 When L2TP adds its header in the transmit path, it might need to increase the headroom of the skb. In some cases, the increased headroom trips a kernel bug when the skb is freed because the skb has grown beyond its truesize value. The fix is to increase the truesize by the amount of headroom added, after orphaning the skb. While here, fix a misleading comment.

Since commit e38bad47 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware). This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock, and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name: ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(). Since they already call that function directly, this patch will automatically fix the USB rt2x00 drivers. v2: Rename ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

The use of cli()/sti() within the do/while was a way to ensure interrupts were only disabled for short periods of time while the bulk of the time interrupts were free to occur. The use of the spin lock has eliminated the need to play with interrupts in this way while still allowing for IO to be protected. The remaining 3 sti() calls seem unneeded now that at no other point in the driver is there a call to cli().

The atm_tcp.h uses types from linux/atm.h, but does not include it. It should also use the standard __u## types from linux/types.h rather than the uint##_t types since the former can be found with the kernel already. Same goes for linux/atm.h. The linux/socket.h include there also gets dropped as atm.h does not actually use anything from socket.h.

It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.
