  • There are multiple locations in the X.25 packet layer where a skb is
    assumed to be of at least a certain size and that all its data is
    currently available at skb->data. These assumptions are not checked,
    hence buffer overreads may occur. Use pskb_may_pull to check these
    minimal size assumptions and ensure that data is available at skb->data
    when necessary, as well as use skb_copy_bits where needed.

  • …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.

  • Allows use of the optional user facility to insert ITU-T
    (http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/) specified DTE facilities in call set-up x25
    packets. This feature is optional; no facilities will be added if the ioctl
    is not used, and call setup packet remains the same as before.

    If the ioctls provided by the patch are used, then a facility marker will be
    added to the x25 packet header so that the called dte address extension
    facility can be differentiated from other types of facilities (as described in
    the ITU-T X.25 recommendation) that are also allowed in the x25 packet header.

    Facility markers are made up of two octets, and may be present in the x25
    packet headers of call-request, incoming call, call accepted, clear request,
    and clear indication packets. The first of the two octets represents the
    facility code field and is set to zero by this patch. The second octet of the
    marker represents the facility parameter field and is set to 0x0F because the
    marker will be inserted before ITU-T type DTE facilities.

    Since according to ITU-T X.25 Recommendation X.25(10/96)- 7.1 "All networks
    will support the facility markers with a facility parameter field set to all
    ones or to 00001111", therefore this patch should work with all x.25 networks.

    While there are many ITU-T DTE facilities, this patch implements only the
    called and calling address extension, with placeholders in the
    x25_dte_facilities structure for the rest of the facilities.

    Testing:

    This patch was tested using a cisco xot router connected on its serial ports
    to an X.25 network, and on its lan ports to a host running an xotd daemon.

    It is also possible to test this patch using an xotd daemon and an x25tap
    patch, where the xotd daemons work back-to-back without actually using an x.25
    network. See www.fyonne.net for details on how to do this.

  • Lots of places just needs the states, not even linux/tcp.h, where this
    enum was, needs it.

    This speeds up development of the refactorings as less sources are
    rebuilt when things get moved from net/tcp.h.

  • Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
    redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
    SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
    taking up some space.

    Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
    drivers which Francois Romieu fixed
    up.

  • This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
    matching with call user data". It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
    optional user facility for X.25.

    This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
    (NRR). What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
    6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
    set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
    the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
    call-user-data. This patch allows such a response.

    The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
    call-user-data. However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
    patch.

    How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
    By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
    To enable a response to fast select acceptance,
    After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
    socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
    bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
    but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
    ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
    Now the listen system call can be made
    listen(call_soc, 4);
    After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted
    packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
    that accepts the call
    ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
    The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the
    application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet,
    provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

  • From: Shaun Pereira

    This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
    working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router). Details
    are as follows.

    Current state of module:

    A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
    accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
    from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
    in the packet header.

    If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
    call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
    allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
    own. This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
    and device interface. The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
    present.

    Current Changes:

    This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
    Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
    call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match. By
    default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present.
    To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
    into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched.
    Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.

    This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
    will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
    the caller

    Future Changes on next patch:

    There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
    accepted packet. According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
    section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
    provided the fast select facility is used. My next patch will include this
    fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
    in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used. I
    am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
