2011-07-22net: allow netif_carrier to be called safely from IRQstephen hemminger
As reported by Ben Greer and Froncois Romieu. The code path in the netif_carrier code leads it to try and disable a late workqueue to reenable it immediately netif_carrier_on -> linkwatch_fire_event -> linkwatch_schedule_work -> cancel_delayed_work -> del_timer_sync If __cancel_delayed_work is used instead then there is no problem of waiting for running linkwatch_event. There is a race between linkwatch_event running re-scheduling but it is harmless to schedule an extra scan of the linkwatch queue.

2011-07-22bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDUstephen hemminger
A bridge topology with three systems: +------+ +------+ | A(2) |--| B(1) | +------+ +------+ \ / +------+ | C(3) | +------+ What is supposed to happen: * bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B) * C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state. The root cause of this is that the configuration messages is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before sending. In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be: the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU. Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

Now inetpeer is IPv6 aware, we can use it to provide a more secure and scalable frag ident generator (per destination, instead of system wide) This patch : 1) defines a new secure_ipv6_id() helper 2) extends inet_getid() to provide 32bit results 3) extends ipv6_select_ident() with a new dest parameter Reported-by: Fernando Gont <fernando@gont.com.ar> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Change ip6_rt_copy() to get destination address as second argument, so that we fill rt6i_dst before the dst_copy_metrics() call. icmp6_dst_alloc() must set rt6i_dst before calling dst_metric_set(), or else the cow is done while rt6i_dst is still NULL.
