can bcm: fix incomplete tx_setup fix

2011-09-29T19:33:47+00:00

The commit aabdcb0b553b9c9547b1a506b34d55a764745870 ("can bcm: fix tx_setup
off-by-one errors") fixed only a part of the original problem reported by
Andre Naujoks. It turned out that the original code needed to be re-ordered
to reduce complexity and to finally fix the reported frame counting issues.

can bcm: fix tx_setup off-by-one errors

2011-09-29T04:32:09+00:00

This patch fixes two off-by-one errors that canceled each other out.
Checking for the same condition two times in bcm_tx_timeout_tsklet() reduced
the count of frames to be sent by one. This did not show up the first time
tx_setup is invoked as an additional frame is sent due to TX_ANNONCE.
Invoking a second tx_setup on the same item led to a reduced (by 1) number of
sent frames.

net/can: use printk_ratelimited() instead of printk_ratelimit()

2011-06-17T04:03:03+00:00

Since printk_ratelimit() shouldn't be used anymore (see comment in
include/linux/printk.h), replace it with printk_ratelimited().

can: convert to %pK for kptr_restrict support

2011-05-26T18:23:35+00:00

As these pointers have been printed without using %p they were missed in the
big network kptr_restrict conversion patch %p -> %pK from Dan Rosenberg.

net: convert %p usage to %pK

2011-05-24T05:13:12+00:00

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

can: rename can_try_module_get to can_get_proto

can_try_module_get does return a struct can_proto.
The name explains what is done in so much detail that a caller
may not notice that a struct can_proto is locked/unlocked.

commit 53914b67993c724cec585863755c9ebc8446e83b had the
same message. That commit did put everything in place but
did not make can_proto const itself.
