  • 1, An X25 program binds and listens
    2, calls arrive waiting to be accepted
    3, Program exits without accepting
    4, Sockets time out but don't get correctly cleaned up
    5, cat /proc/net/x25/socket shows the dead sockets with bad inode fields.

    This line borrowed from AX25 sets the dying socket so the timers clean up later.

  • Define a new function to return the waitqueue of a "struct sock".

    static inline wait_queue_head_t *sk_sleep(struct sock *sk)
    {
    return sk->sk_sleep;
    }

    Change all read occurrences of sk_sleep by a call to this function.

    Needed for a future RCU conversion. sk_sleep wont be a field directly
    available.

  • The current X.25 code has some bugs in throughput negotiation:

    1. It does negotiation in all cases, usually there is no need
    2. It incorrectly attempts to negotiate the throughput class in one
    direction only. There are separate throughput classes for input
    and output and if either is negotiated both mist be negotiates.

    This is bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15681

    This bug was first reported by Daniel Ferenci to the linux-x25 mailing
    list on 6/8/2004, but is still present.

    The current (2.6.34) x.25 code doesn't seem to know that the X.25
    throughput facility includes two values, one for the required
    throughput outbound, one for inbound.

    This causes it to attempt to negotiate throughput 0x0A, which is
    throughput 9600 inbound and the illegal value "0" for inbound
    throughput.

    Because of this some X.25 devices (e.g. Cisco 1600) refuse to connect
    to Linux X.25.

    The following patch fixes this behaviour. Unless the user specifies a
    required throughput it does not attempt to negotiate. If the user
    does not specify a throughput it accepts the suggestion of the remote
    X.25 system. If the user requests a throughput then it validates both
    the input and output throughputs and correctly negotiates them with
    the remote end.

  • Here is a patch to stop X.25 examining fields beyond the end of the packet.

    For example, when a simple CALL ACCEPTED was received:

    10 10 0f

    x25_parse_facilities was attempting to decode the FACILITIES field, but this
    packet contains no facilities field.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
    all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
    entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
    revmoed.

    In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
    take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
    to pass one.

  • The x25 driver uses lock_kernel() implicitly through
    its proto_ops wrapper. The makes the usage explicit
    in order to get rid of that wrapper and to better document
    the usage of the BKL.

    The next step should be to get rid of the usage of the BKL
    in x25 entirely, which requires understanding what data
    structures need serialized accesses.

  • The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
    security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
    the kernel or by userspace. This patch passes that flag to the
    net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

  • If there is data, the unsigned skb->len is greater than 0.

    rt.sigdigits is unsigned as well, so the test `>= 0' is
    always true, the other part of the test catches wrapped
    values.

  • Looking at commit ebc3f64b864f it appears that this was intended
    and not the original, equivalent to `if (facilities.reverse & ~0x81)'.

    In x25_parse_facilities() that patch changed how facilities->reverse
    was set. No other bits were set than 0x80 and/or 0x01.

  • * Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
    * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
    * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
    It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

    This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
    (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

    (net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
    changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value.

    Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer
    must delay socket deallocation. We must take care of the sk_wmem_alloc
    value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending.

    Reported by Ingo Molnar, and full diagnostic from David Miller.

    This patch introduces three helpers to get read/write allocations
    and a followup patch will use these helpers to report correct
    write allocations to user.

  • I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
    stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &
    will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
    compilation.

    handler, it was never needed in fact.
