dccp ccid-3: Remove dead states
This patch is thanks to an investigation by Leandro Sales de Melo and his
colleagues. They worked out two state diagrams which highlight the fact that
the xxx_TERM states in CCID-3/4 are in fact not necessary.
And this can be confirmed by in turn looking at the code: the xxx_TERM states
are only ever set in ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_exit(). These two functions are part
of the following call chain:
* ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_exit() are called from ccid_delete() only;
* ccid_delete() invokes ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_exit() in the way of a destructor:
after calling ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_exit(), the CCID is released from memory;
* ccid_delete() is in turn called only by ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_delete();
* ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_delete() is called only if
- feature negotiation failed (dccp_feat_activate_values()),
- when changing the RX/TX CCID (to eject the current CCID),
- when destroying the socket (in dccp_destroy_sock()).
In other words, when CCID-3 sets the state to xxx_TERM, it is at a time where
no more processing should be going on, hence it is not necessary to introduce
a dedicated exit state - this is implicit when unloading the CCID.
The patch removes this state, one switch-statement collapses as a result.

dccp ccid-3: Remove redundant 'options_received' struct
The `options_received' struct is redundant, since it re-duplicates the existing
`p' and `x_recv' fields. This patch removes the sub-struct and migrates the
format conversion operations (cf. below) to ccid3_hc_tx_parse_options().
Why the fields are redundant
----------------------------
The Loss Event Rate p and the Receive Rate x_recv are initially 0 when first
loading CCID-3, as ccid_new() zeroes out the entire ccid3_hc_tx_sock.
When Loss Event Rate or Receive Rate options are received, they are stored by
ccid3_hc_tx_parse_options() into the fields `ccid3or_loss_event_rate' and
`ccid3or_receive_rate' of the sub-struct `options_received' in ccid3_hc_tx_sock.
After parsing (considering only the established state - dccp_rcv_established()),
the packet is passed on to ccid_hc_tx_packet_recv(). This calls the CCID-3
specific routine ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv(), which performs the following copy
operations between fields of ccid3_hc_tx_sock:
* hctx->options_received.ccid3or_receive_rate is copied into hctx->x_recv,
after scaling it for fixpoint arithmetic, by 2^64;
* hctx->options_received.ccid3or_loss_event_rate is copied into hctx->p,
considering the above special cases; in addition, a value of 0 here needs to
be mapped into p=0 (when no Loss Event Rate option has been received yet).

dccp ccid-3: Bug fix for the inter-packet scheduling algorithm
This fixes a subtle bug in the calculation of the inter-packet gap and shows
that t_delta, as it is currently used, is not needed. And hence replaced.
The algorithm from RFC 3448, 4.6 below continually computes a send time t_nom,
which is initialised with the current time t_now; t_gran = 1E6 / HZ specifies
the scheduling granularity, s the packet size, and X the sending rate:
t_distance = t_nom - t_now; // in microseconds
t_delta = min(t_ipi, t_gran) / 2; // `delta' parameter in microseconds
if (t_distance >= t_delta) {
reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
} else {
t_ipi = s / X; // inter-packet interval in usec
t_nom += t_ipi; // compute the next send time
send packet now;
}
1) Description of the bug
-------------------------
Rescheduling requires a conversion into milliseconds, due to this call chain:
* ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet() returns a timeout in milliseconds,
* this value is converted by msecs_to_jiffies() in dccp_write_xmit(),
* and finally used as jiffy-expires-value for sk_reset_timer().
The highest jiffy resolution with HZ=1000 is 1 millisecond, so using a higher
granularity does not make much sense here.
As a consequence, values of t_distance < 1000 are truncated to 0. This issue
has so far been resolved by using instead
if (t_distance >= t_delta + 1000)
reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
The bug is in artificially inflating t_delta to t_delta' = t_delta + 1000. This
is unnecessarily large, a more adequate value is t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000).
2) Consequences of using the corrected t_delta'
-----------------------------------------------
Since t_delta <= t_gran/2 = 10^6/(2*HZ), we have t_delta <= 1000 as long as
HZ >= 500. This means that t_delta' = max(1000, t_delta) is constant at 1000.
On the other hand, when using a coarse HZ value of HZ < 500, we have three
sub-cases that can all be reduced to using another constant of t_gran/2.
(a) The first case arises when t_ipi > t_gran. Here t_delta' is the constant
t_delta' = max(1000, t_gran/2) = t_gran/2.
(b) If t_ipi <= 2000 < t_gran = 10^6/HZ usec, then t_delta = t_ipi/2 <= 1000,
so that t_delta' = max(1000, t_delta) = 1000 < t_gran/2.
(c) If 2000 < t_ipi <= t_gran, we have t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000) = t_ipi/2.
In the second and third cases we have delay values less than t_gran/2, which is
in the order of less than or equal to half a jiffy.
How these are treated depends on how fractions of a jiffy are handled: they
are either always rounded down to 0, or always rounded up to 1 jiffy (assuming
non-zero values). In both cases the error is on average in the order of 50%.
Thus we are not increasing the error when in the second/third case we replace
a value less than t_gran/2 with 0, by setting t_delta' to the constant t_gran/2.
3) Summary
----------
Fixing (1) and considering (2), the patch replaces t_delta with a constant,
whose value depends on CONFIG_HZ, changing the above algorithm to:
if (t_distance >= t_delta')
reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
where t_delta' = 10^6/(2*HZ) if HZ < 500, and t_delta' = 1000 otherwise.

dccp ccid-3: No more CCID control blocks in LISTEN state
The CCIDs are activated as last of the features, at the end of the handshake,

dccp: Special case of the MPS for client-PARTOPEN with DataAcks
To increase robustness, it is necessary to resend Confirm feature-negotiation
options, even though the RFC does not mandate it. But feature negotiation
options can take (much) more room than the options on common DataAck packets.
Instead of reducing the MPS always for a case which only applies to the three
messages send during initial handshake, this patch devises a special case:
if the payload length of the DataAck in PARTOPEN is too large, an Ack is sent
to carry the options, and the feature-negotiation list is then flushed.
This means that the server gets two Acks for one Response. If both Acks get
lost, it is probably better to restart the connection anyway and devising yet
another special-case does not seem worth the extra complexity.
The patch (over-)estimates the expected overhead to be 32*4 bytes -- commonly
seen values were 20-90 bytes for initial feature-negotiation options.
It uses sizeof(u32) to mean "aligned units of 4 bytes". For consistency,
another use of sizeof is modified.

A special consideration applies to Ack Vectors: this is purely guesswork,

dccp: Support for the exchange of NN options in established state
In contrast to static feature negotiation at the begin of a connection, which
establishes the capabilities of both endpoints, this patch introduces support
for dynamic exchange of feature negotiation options.
Such a dynamic exchange is necessary in at least two cases:
* CCID-2's Ack Ratio (RFC 4341, 6.1.2) which changes during the connection;
* Sequence Window values that, as per RFC 4340, 7.5.2, should be sent "as
as the connection progresses".
Both are NN (non-negotiable) features. Hence dynamic feature "negotiation" is
distinguished from static/pre-connection negotiation by the following:
* no new capabilities are negotiated (those that matter for the connection
are negotiated prior to setting up the connection, comparable to SIP);
* features must be understood by each endpoint: as per RFC 4340, 6.4,
Sequence Window is "Req'd" and Ack Ratio must be understood when CCID-2
is used as per the note underneath Table 4.
These characteristics are reflected in the implementation:
* only NN options can be exchanged after connection setup;
* NN options are activated directly after validating them. The rationale is
that a peer must accept every valid NN value (RFC 4340, 6.3.2), hence it
will either accept the value and send a "Confirm R", or it will send an
empty Confirm (which will reset the connection according to FN rules).
* An Ack is scheduled directly after activation to accelerate communicating
the update to the peer.

dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count feature
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
* for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
* for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.
Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).
This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.
At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature is with the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when

dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interface
The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of

The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer

dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 3 (client side)
This integrates feature-activation in the client, with these details:
1. When dccp_parse_options() fails, the reset code is already set, request_sent
_state_process() currently overrides this with `Packet Error', which is not
intended - so changed to use the reset code set in dccp_parse_options();
2. There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I have looked this up and found that:
* the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
* this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
* so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.
3. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable,
so that the application is notified that an error occurs. This is achieved
by a new label, which uses an error code of `Aborted' and which sets the
socket state to CLOSED, as well as sk_err.
4. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing
again in dccp_rcv_respond_partopen_state_process (as option processing has
already been done on the request_sock in dccp_check_req).

As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm

Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the

Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier revision
of the patch set, resulting from not retransmitting the Confirm options.

* Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1);
* even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it:
- Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2),
- if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts

- cwnd is not a user-configurable value.
The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is
planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe.
With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation:
* Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID;
* if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to
the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack

dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCID
This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).
For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
* since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing
endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;
* a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);
* for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
in the source code.
An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.
Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.
The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.
The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.

Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available

will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

1. The type byte of a multi-byte option is the last byte of the header
options (i.e. effective option length of 1).
2. The value of the length byte is less than the minimum 2. This has been
changed from previously 3: although no multi-byte option with a length
less than 3 yet exists (cf. table 3 in 5.8), a length of 2 is valid.
(The switch-statement in dccp_parse has further per-option length checks.)
3. The option length exceeds the length of the remaining option space.

dccp: Always generate a Reset in response to option errors
RFC4340 states that if a packet is received with an option error (such as a
Mandatory Option as the last byte of the option list), the endpoint should
repond with a Reset.
In the LISTEN and RESPOND states, the endpoint correctly reponds with Reset,
while in the REQUEST/OPEN states, packets with option errors are just ignored.
The packet sequence is as follows:
Case 1:
Endpoint A Endpoint B
(CLOSED) (CLOSED)
<---------------- REQUEST
RESPONSE -----------------> (*1)
(with invalid option)
<---------------- RESET
(with Reset Code 5, "Option Error")
(*1) currently just ignored, no Reset is sent
Case 2:
Endpoint A Endpoint B
(OPEN) (OPEN)
DATA-ACK -----------------> (*2)
(with invalid option)
<---------------- RESET
(with Reset Code 5, "Option Error")
(*2) currently just ignored, no Reset is sent
This patch fixes the problem, by generating a Reset instead of silently
ignoring option errors.

The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped
size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up
to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary
then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one

between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64

64 bytes.

debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a
common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same
memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures;
usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on
default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same
dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This
can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving
something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost.
Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct

sctp: fix random memory dereference with SCTP_HMAC_IDENT option.
The number of identifiers needs to be checked against the option
length. Also, the identifier index provided needs to be verified
to make sure that it doesn't exceed the bounds of the array.

sctp: correct bounds check in sctp_setsockopt_auth_key
The bonds check to prevent buffer overlflow was not exactly
right. It still allowed overflow of up to 8 bytes which is
sizeof(struct sctp_authkey).
Since optlen is already checked against the size of that struct,
we are guaranteed not to cause interger overflow either.

wan: Missing capability checks in sbni_ioctl()
There are missing capability checks in the following code:
1300 static int
1301 sbni_ioctl( struct net_device *dev, struct ifreq *ifr, int cmd)
1302 {
[...]
1319 case SIOCDEVRESINSTATS :
1320 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */
1321 return -EPERM;
[...]
1336 case SIOCDEVSHWSTATE :
1337 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */
1338 return -EPERM;
[...]
1357 case SIOCDEVENSLAVE :
1358 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */
1359 return -EPERM;
[...]
1372 case SIOCDEVEMANSIPATE :
1373 if( current->euid != 0 ) /* root only */
1374 return -EPERM;
Here's my proposed fix:
Missing capability checks.
