  those embarrasing bugs.

  When you get a chance can you please repull my branch"

2d4dce0070 NFS client updates for Linux 3.8
Features include:
 
 - Full audit of BUG_ON asserts in the NFS, SUNRPC and lockd client code
   Remove altogether where possible, and replace with WARN_ON_ONCE and
   appropriate error returns where not.
 - NFSv4.1 client adds session dynamic slot table management. There is
   matching server side code that has been submitted to Bruce for
   consideration. Together, this code allows the server to dynamically
   manage the amount of memory it allocates to the duplicate request
   cache for each client. It will constantly resize those caches to
   reserve more memory for clients that are hot while shrinking caches
   for those that are quiescent.
 
 In addition, there are assorted bugfixes for the generic NFS write code,
 fixes to deal with the drop_nlink() warnings, and yet another fix for
 NFSv4 getacl.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

cd6c596858 SUNRPC: continue run over clients list on PipeFS event instead of break
There are SUNRPC clients, which program doesn't have pipe_dir_name. These
clients can be skipped on PipeFS events, because nothing have to be created or
destroyed. But instead of breaking in case of such a client was found, search
for suitable client over clients list have to be continued. Otherwise some
clients could not be covered by PipeFS event handler.

5e4a08476b userns: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for most uses of setns.
Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> found a nasty little bug in
the permissions of setns.  With unprivileged user namespaces it
became possible to create new namespaces without privilege.

However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in
the user nameapce of the targed namespace.

Which made the following nasty sequence possible.

pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS);
if (pid == 0) { /* child */
	system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd");
}
else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */
	char path[PATH_MAX];
	snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt");
	fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);
	setns(fd, 0);
	system("su -");
}

Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN
in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

eb96d5c97b SUNRPC handle EKEYEXPIRED in call_refreshresult
Currently, when an RPCSEC_GSS context has expired or is non-existent
and the users (Kerberos) credentials have also expired or are non-existent,
the client receives the -EKEYEXPIRED error and tries to refresh the context
forever.  If an application is performing I/O, or other work against the share,
the application hangs, and the user is not prompted to refresh/establish their
credentials. This can result in a denial of service for other users.

Users are expected to manage their Kerberos credential lifetimes to mitigate
this issue.

Move the -EKEYEXPIRED handling into the RPC layer. Try tk_cred_retry number
of times to refresh the gss_context, and then return -EACCES to the application.

d206e09036 Merge branch 'for-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  The big changes are focused on
  making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.

   - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
     destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
     drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
     caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
     reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
     path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
     separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
     changes on top.

   - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
     implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
     improve hierarchy support.

   - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
     cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
     cgroups are frozen.

   - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
     properly.

   - Various fixes and cleanups.

   - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
     to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
     device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
     stacked on top."

1abbe1394a pkt_sched: avoid requeues if possible
With BQL being deployed, we can more likely have following behavior :

We dequeue a packet from qdisc in dequeue_skb(), then we realize target
tx queue is in XOFF state in sch_direct_xmit(), and we have to hold the
skb into gso_skb for later.

This shows in stats (tc -s qdisc dev eth0) as requeues.

Problem of these requeues is that high priority packets can not be
dequeued as long as this (possibly low prio and big TSO packet) is not
removed from gso_skb.

At 1Gbps speed, a full size TSO packet is 500 us of extra latency.

In some cases, we know that all packets dequeued from a qdisc are
for a particular and known txq :

- If device is non multi queue
- For all MQ/MQPRIO slave qdiscs

This patch introduces a new qdisc flag, TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE to mark
this capability, so that dequeue_skb() is allowed to dequeue a packet
only if the associated txq is not stopped.

This indeed reduce latencies for high prio packets (or improve fairness
with sfq/fq_codel), and almost remove qdisc 'requeues'.

In theory cb->seq could be wrapped to zero, but this is not

5e1f54201c inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads
Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port
for such operations.

Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte
code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not
long enough to hold both.

f67caec906 inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run()
Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional
and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do
prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
maintains as-is).

This change is needed for two reasons:

(1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
garbage or oops.

(2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
which this commit maintains).

Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family,

kernel read beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a
whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to
contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or
they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of
a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the
length of addresses of the given family.

1c95df85ca inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state
Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections
instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually
created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This
means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a
random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the
request_sock.

With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving
IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to
inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16
bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where
the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

6a674e9c75 net: Add support for hardware-offloaded encapsulation
This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx
checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE).

For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits
in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the
skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will
use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware.

For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the
skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up
to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol
driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the
protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

Paul Gortmaker says:

====================
Changes since v1:
	-get rid of essentially unused variable spotted by
	 Neil Horman (patch #2)

	-drop patch #3; defer it for 3.9 content, so Neil,
	 Jon and Ying can discuss its specifics at their
	 leisure while net-next is closed.  (It had no
	 direct dependencies to the rest of the series, and
	 was just an optimization)

	-fix indentation of accept() code directly in place
	 vs. forking it out to a separate function (was patch
	 #10, now patch #9).

Rebuilt and re-ran tests just to ensure nothing odd happened.

Original v1 text follows, updated pull information follows that.

           ---------

Here is another batch of TIPC changes.  The most interesting
thing is probably the non-blocking socket connect - I'm told
there were several users looking forward to seeing this.

Also there were some resource limitation changes that had
the right intent back in 2005, but were now apparently causing
needless limitations to people's real use cases; those have
been relaxed/removed.

There is a lockdep splat fix, but no need for a stable backport,
since it is virtually impossible to trigger in mainline; you
have to essentially modify code to force the probabilities
in your favour to see it.

The rest can largely be categorized as general cleanup of things
seen in the process of getting the above changes done.

Tested between 64 and 32 bit nodes with the test suite.  I've
also compile tested all the individual commits on the chain.

I'd originally figured on this queue not being ready for 3.8, but
the extended stabilization window of 3.7 has changed that.  On
the other hand, this can still be 3.9 material, if that simply
works better for folks - no problem for me to defer it to 2013.
If anyone spots any problems then I'll definitely defer it,
rather than rush a last minute respin.

In TIPC's accept() routine, there is a large block of code relating
to initialization of a new socket, all within an if condition checking
if the allocation succeeded.

Here, we simply flip the check of the if, so that the main execution
path stays at the same indentation level, which improves readability.
If the allocation fails, we jump to an already existing exit label.

258f8667a2 tipc: add lock nesting notation to quiet lockdep warning
TIPC accept() call grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated
socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. But lockdep
worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt:

  [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
  ---------------------------------------------
  kworker/u:0/6 is trying to acquire lock:
  (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c1226c>] accept+0x15c/0x310 [tipc]

  but task is already holding lock:
  (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c12138>] accept+0x28/0x310 [tipc]

  other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

          CPU0
          ----
          lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);
          lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);

          *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation
  [...]

Tell lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested().
This is similar to what was done in commit 5131a184a3 for
SCTP code ("SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate").

Also note that this is isn't something that is seen normally,
as it was uncovered with some experimental work-in-progress
code not yet ready for mainline.  So no need for stable
backports or similar of this commit.

584d24b396 tipc: introduce non-blocking socket connect
TIPC has so far only supported blocking connect(), meaning that a call
to connect() doesn't return until either the connection is fully
established, or an error occurs. This has proved insufficient for many
users, so we now introduce non-blocking connect(), analogous to how
this is done in TCP and other protocols.

With this feature, if a connection cannot be established instantly,
connect() will return the error code "-EINPROGRESS".
If the user later calls connect() again, he will either have the
return code "-EALREADY" or "-EISCONN", depending on whether the
connection has been established or not.

The user must have explicitly set the socket to be non-blocking
(SOCK_NONBLOCK or O_NONBLOCK, depending on method used), so unless
for some reason they had set this already (the socket would anyway
remain blocking in current TIPC) this change should be completely
backwards compatible.

It is also now possible to call select() or poll() to wait for the
completion of a connection.

An effect of the above is that the actual completion of a connection
may now be performed asynchronously, independent of the calls from
user space. Therefore, we now execute this code in BH context, in
the function filter_rcv(), which is executed upon reception of
messages in the socket.
