b3fc9c6c58 mac80211: remove message on receiving unexpected unencrypted frames
Some people are getting this message a lot, and we have traced it to
broken access points that much too often send completely empty frames
(all bytes zeroed, which they shouldn't do at all.)

Since we cannot do anything about such frames in any case except the
special case where we're debugging an AP, just remove the message.

rfkill_switch_all() is supposed to only switch all the interfaces of a

everything currently in the same state.

Add the necessary type check in.

b000cd3707 [TCP]: Fix never pruned tcp out-of-order queue.
tcp_prune_queue() doesn't prune an out-of-order queue at all.
Therefore sk_rmem_schedule() can fail but the out-of-order queue isn't
pruned . This can lead to tcp deadlock state if the next two
conditions are held:

1. There are a sequence hole between last received in
   order segment and segments enqueued to the out-of-order queue.

2. Size of all segments in the out-of-order queue is more than tcp_mem[2].

066a3b5b23 [NET_SCHED] sch_api: fix qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() loop
TC_H_MAJ(parentid) for root classes is the same as for ingress, and if
ingress qdisc is created qdisc_lookup() returns its pointer (without
ingress NULL is returned). After this all qdisc_lookups give the same,
and we get endless loop. (I don't know how this could hide for so long
- it should trigger with every leaf class deleted if it's qdisc isn't
empty.)

After this fix qdisc_lookup() is omitted both for ingress and root
parents, but looking for root is only wasting a little time here...
Many thanks to Enrico Demarin for finding a test for catching this
bug, which probably bothered quite a lot of admins.

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.

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.

RFC 4890 has the following text:

  The HMAC algorithm based on SHA-1 MUST be supported and
  included in the HMAC-ALGO parameter.

As a result, we need to check in sctp_verify_param() that HMAC_SHA1 is
present in the list.  If not, we should probably treat this as a
protocol violation.

It should also be a protocol violation if the HMAC parameter is empty.

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.

951e07c930 [IPV4]: Fix byte value boundary check in do_ip_getsockopt().
This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.

As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
char sized socket option value, as in:

  unsigned char ttl = 255;
  socklen_t     len = sizeof(ttl);
  setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);

  getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);

The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
with garbage.

It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():

	if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {

It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
copies a full 'int' back to userspace.

On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace.  On big endian it
writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
bytes.

So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
use MAC_FMT et al. instead.

As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
handle this better, but that is a change to an interface

carefully.  This here is thus the less risky fix for

though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
underway.

It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
isn't robust against wraparounds).

882bebaaca [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L
This fixes Bugzilla 

tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.

The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.

More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.

So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7 ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

c137f3dda0 [TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb
Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.

It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.

Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.

Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.

In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

1b69d74539 [TCP]: Restore 2.6.24 mark_head_lost behavior for newreno/fack
The fast retransmission can be forced locally to the rfc3517
branch in tcp_update_scoreboard instead of making such fragile
constructs deeper in tcp_mark_head_lost.

This is necessary for the next patch which must not have
loopholes for cnt > packets check. As one can notice,
readability got some improvements too because of this :-).

These entries are allocated in vlan_dev_set_egress_priority, 
but are never released and leaks on vlan device removal.

Drop these in vlan's ->uninit callback - after the device is

be unregistered.

84f59370c5 [IPV6]: Fix refcounting for anycast dst entries.
Anycast DST entries allocated inside ipv6_dev_ac_inc are leaked when
network device is stopped without removing IPv6 addresses from it. The
bug has been observed in the reality on 2.6.18-rhel5 kernel.

In the above case addrconf_ifdown marks all entries as obsolete and
ip6_del_rt called from __ipv6_dev_ac_dec returns ENOENT. The
referrence is not dropped.

The fix is simple. DST entry should not keep referrence when stored in
the FIB6 tree.

af2681828a [ICMP]: Ensure that ICMP relookup maintains status quo
The ICMP relookup path is only meant to modify behaviour when
appropriate IPsec policies are in place and marked as requiring
relookups.  It is certainly not meant to modify behaviour when
IPsec policies don't exist at all.

However, due to an oversight on the error paths existing behaviour
may in fact change should one of the relookup steps fail.

This patch corrects this by redirecting all errors on relookup
failures to the previous code path.  That is, if the initial
xfrm_lookup let the packet pass, we will stand by that decision
should the relookup fail due to an error.

This should be safe from a security point-of-view because compliant
systems must install a default deny policy so the packet would'nt
have passed in that case.

Many thanks to Julian Anastasov for pointing out this error.
