13f51d82ac [DCCP]: Fix comment about control sockets.
These sockets now have a bit other names and are no longer global.

Shame on me, I haven't provided a good comment for this when
sending DCCP netnsization patches.

159d83363b [BRIDGE]: Fix crash in __ip_route_output_key with bridge netfilter
The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a
fake net_device structure to skbs it passes up to IPv4 netfilter. This
leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when
dereferencing the namespace pointer.

Since bridging can currently only operate in the init_net namespace,
the easiest fix for now is to initialize the nd_net pointer of the
fake net_device struct to &init_net.

Should fix bugzilla 10323: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10323

4dee959723 [NETFILTER]: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix race between clusterip_config_find_get and _entry_put
Consider we are putting a clusterip_config entry with the "entries"
count == 1, and on the other CPU there's a clusterip_config_find_get
in progress:

CPU1:							CPU2:
clusterip_config_entry_put:				clusterip_config_find_get:
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&c->entries)) {
	/* true */
							read_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
							c = __clusterip_config_find(clusterip);
							/* found - it's still in list */
							...
							atomic_inc(&c->entries);
							read_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock);

	write_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
	list_del(&c->list);
	write_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock);
	...
	dev_put(c->dev);

Oops! We have an entry returned by the clusterip_config_find_get,
which is a) not in list b) has a stale dev pointer.

The problems will happen when the CPU2 will release the entry - it
will remove it from the list for the 2nd time, thus spoiling it, and
will put a stale dev pointer.

The fix is to make atomic_dec_and_test under the clusterip_lock.

a40a7d15ba [SCTP]: IPv4 vs IPv6 addresses mess in sctp_inet[6]addr_event.
All IP addresses that are present in a system are duplicated on
struct sctp_sockaddr_entry. They are linked in the global list
called sctp_local_addr_list. And this struct unions IPv4 and IPv6
addresses.

So, there can be rare case, when a sockaddr_in.sin_addr coincides
with the corresponding part of the sockaddr_in6 and the notifier
for IPv4 will carry away an IPv6 entry.

The fix is to check the family before comparing the addresses.

028b027524 [DCCP]: Fix skb->cb conflicts with IP
dev_queue_xmit() and the other IP output functions expect to get a skb
with clear or properly initialized skb->cb. Unlike TCP and UDP, the
dccp_skb_cb doesn't contain a struct inet_skb_parm at the beginning,
so the DCCP-specific data is interpreted by the IP output functions.
This can cause false negatives for the conditional POST_ROUTING hook
invocation, making the packet bypass the hook.

Add a inet_skb_parm/inet6_skb_parm union to the beginning of
dccp_skb_cb to avoid clashes. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON to make
sure it fits in the cb.

from it. The problem is that after the fisrt call to hlist_del_init
the hlist_for_each_entry (which hides behind the ax25_uid_for_each)
will consider the current position to be the last and will return.

Thus, the whole list will be left not freed.

876c7f4196 [IPv6]: Change IPv6 unspecified destination address to ::1 for raw and un-connected sockets
This patch fixes a difference between IPv4 and IPv6 when sending packets
to the unspecified address (either 0.0.0.0 or ::) when using raw or
un-connected UDP sockets.  There are two cases where IPv6 either fails
to send anything, or sends with the destination address set to ::.  For
example:

--> ping -c1 0.0.0.0
PING 0.0.0.0 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms

--> ping6 -c1 ::
PING ::(::) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument

Doing a sendto("0.0.0.0") reveals:

10:55:01.495090 IP localhost.32780 > localhost.7639: UDP, length 100

Doing a sendto("::") reveals:

10:56:13.262478 IP6 fe80::217:8ff:fe7d:4718.32779 > ::.7639: UDP, length 100

If you issue a connect() first in the UDP case, it will be sent to ::1,
similar to what happens with TCP.

This restores the BSD-ism.
