Biederman Date: Sun Nov 8 00:53:51 2009 -0800 net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Where apparently I forgot to add error handling to the path where we create a new network device in a new network namespace, and pass in an invalid pid.

cfg80211: fix allowing country IEs for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY

2011-02-17T22:46:58Z

commit 749b527b21465fb079796c03ffb4302584dc31c1 upstream. We should be enabling country IE hints for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY even if we haven't yet recieved regulatory domain hint for the driver if it needed one. Without this Country IEs are not passed on to drivers that have set WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY, today this is just all Atheros chipset drivers: ath5k, ath9k, ar9170, carl9170. This was part of the original design, however it was completely overlooked... Cc: Easwar Krishnan Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mac80211: fix initialization of skb->cb in ieee80211_subif_start_xmit

mac80211: fix a crash in ieee80211_beacon_get_tim on change_interface

2011-02-17T22:46:48Z

commit eb3e554b4b3a56386ef5214dbe0e3935a350178b upstream. Some drivers (e.g. ath9k) do not always disable beacons when they're supposed to. When an interface is changed using the change_interface op, the mode specific sdata part is in an undefined state and trying to get a beacon at this point can produce weird crashes. To fix this, add a check for ieee80211_sdata_running before using anything from the sdata. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mac80211: use maximum number of AMPDU frames as default in BA RX

2011-02-17T22:46:48Z

commit 82694f764dad783a123394e2220b92b9be721b43 upstream. When the buffer size is set to zero in the block ack parameter set field, we should use the maximum supported number of subframes. The existing code was bogus and was doing some unnecessary calculations that lead to wrong values. Thanks Johannes for helping me figure this one out.

net: packet: fix information leak to userland

2011-01-07T21:58:29Z

[ Upstream commit 67286640f638f5ad41a946b9a3dc75327950248f ] packet_getname_spkt() doesn't initialize all members of sa_data field of sockaddr struct if strlen(dev->name) < 13. This structure is then copied to userland. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory. We have to fully fill sa_data with strncpy() instead of strlcpy(). The same with packet_getname(): it doesn't initialize sll_pkttype field of sockaddr_ll. Set it to zero. Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
