[netdrvr] skfp: remove a bunch of dead code

The driver has not compiled in anything except PCI support for many
years (see drivers/net/skfp/Makefile).  This driver is also unmaintained
for many years, so arguments for keeping the cross-OS, cross-bus (ISA,
EISA, MCA) code do not exist.

[PATCH] libertas: make the hex dumper nicer

Currently, when you define LBS_DEB_HEX, you get every hex dump in the
whole driver, e.g. for LBS_DEB_CMD, LBS_DEB_RX, LBS_DEB_TX etc. This
patch makes sure that you only get the hexdump that you're interested in.

Renamed lbs_dbg_hex() into lbs_deb_hex(), like the other lbs_deb_XXX()
macros.

Made lbs_deb_hex() issue a line feed (and a new prompt) after 16 bytes.

As lbs_deb_hex() now prints the ":" after the prompt by itself, removed
the misc colons in the various *.c files.

lbs_deb_XXX() now print the debug category as well.

As lbs_deb_XXX() --- and especially lbs_deb_11d() --- now print the
category, I removed various "11D:" prefixes in 11d.c as well.

17 years ago[MAC80211]: fix race conditions with keys
Johannes Berg [Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:10:24 +0000 (11:10 -0400)]
[MAC80211]: fix race conditions with keys

During receive processing, we select the key long before using it and
because there's no locking it is possible that we kfree() the key
after having selected it but before using it for crypto operations.
Obviously, this is bad.

Secondly, during transmit processing, there are two possible races: We
have a similar race between select_key() and using it for encryption,
but we also have a race here between select_key() and hardware
encryption (both when a key is removed.)

This patch solves these issues by using RCU: when a key is to be freed,
we first remove the pointer from the appropriate places (sdata->keys,
sdata->default_key, sta->key) using rcu_assign_pointer() and then
synchronize_rcu(). Then, we can safely kfree() the key and remove it
from the hardware. There's a window here where the hardware may still
be using it for decryption, but we can't work around that without having
two hardware callbacks, one to disable the key for RX and one to disable
it for TX; but the worst thing that will happen is that we receive a
packet decrypted that we don't find a key for any more and then drop it.

When we add a key, we first need to upload it to the hardware and then,
using rcu_assign_pointer() again, link it into our structures.

In the code using keys (TX/RX paths) we use rcu_dereference() to get the
key and enclose the whole tx/rx section in a rcu_read_lock() ...
rcu_read_unlock() block. Because we've uploaded the key to hardware
before linking it into internal structures, we can guarantee that it is
valid once get to into tx().

One possible race condition remains, however: when we have hardware
acceleration enabled and the driver shuts down the queues, we end up
queueing the frame. If now somebody removes the key, the key will be
removed from hwaccel and then then driver will be asked to encrypt the
frame with a key index that has been removed. Hence, drivers will need
to be aware that the hw_key_index they are passed might not be under
all circumstances. Most drivers will, however, simply ignore that
condition and encrypt the frame with the selected key anyway, this
only results in a frame being encrypted with a wrong key or dropped
(rightfully) because the key was not valid. There isn't much we can
do about it unless we want to walk the pending frame queue every time
a key is removed and remove all frames that used it.

This race condition, however, will most likely be solved once we add
multiqueue support to mac80211 because then frames will be queued
further up the stack instead of after being processed.

[IPV4]: Convert rt_check_expire() from softirq processing to workqueue.

On loaded/big hosts, rt_check_expire() if of litle use, because it
generally breaks out of its main loop because of a jiffies change.

It can take a long time (read : timer invocations) to actually
scan the whole hash table, freeing unused entries.

Converting it to use a workqueue instead of softirq is a nice
move because we can allow rt_check_expire() to do the scan
it is supposed to do, without hogging the CPU.

This has an impact on the average number of entries in cache,
reducing ram usage. Cache is more responsive to parameter
changes (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_timeout and
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval)

Note: Maybe the default value of gc_interval (60 seconds)
is too high, since this means we actually need 5 (300/60)
invocations to scan the whole table.

[NET]: Fix race when opening a proc file while a network namespace is exiting.

The problem:  proc_net files remember which network namespace the are
against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin
the network namespace).   So we currently have a small window where
the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening
a /proc file when it has already gone to zero.

To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net.

maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is
greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it
has gone to zero.

get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network
namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it.

PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use
the wrong helper function.

Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case
where get_proc_net returns NULL.  In that case I return -ENXIO because
effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files
we are trying to access don't exist anymore.
