Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in dccp_close can lead to dead
locks. For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without
disabling BH. If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny
window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock. Another possible
path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the
tx skb in process context with BH enabled.
We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock.
The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket
ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else.
By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this
problem. This is because as long as we own the socket lock its
state cannot change.
So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock
and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock.
If the socket state has transitioned to DCCP_CLOSED in the time being,
we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is
still ours to keep.
This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion
and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the
first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is
triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message.
The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message.
When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first
fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared
between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list
pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes
sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely.
Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link
things using frag_list.

This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing
temporary spillover of the receive buffer.
- If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn,
accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with
higher TSNs.
- Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks
even if we run out of receive buffer space.

zd1211 with softmac and wpa_supplicant revealed an issue with softmac
and the use of workqueues. Some of the work functions actually
reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be
pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during
ieee80211softmac_stop().
This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that
rescheduling does not happen in this situation.
I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are
non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply
makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily
by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac
and before turning off the ZD1211 radio. (ZD1211 is now fixed as well!)

If the socket state has transitioned to TCP_CLOSE in the time being,
we know that the socket has been destroyed. Otherwise the socket is
still ours to keep.
Note that I've also moved the increment on the orphan count forward.
This may look like a problem as we're increasing it even if the socket
is just about to be destroyed where it'll be decreased again. However,
this simply enlarges a window that already exists. This also changes
the orphan count test by one.
Considering what the orphan count is meant to do this is no big deal.

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:
sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))
ipt_standard_target looks like this:
struct xt_standard_target
{
struct xt_entry_target target;
int verdict;
};
xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.
The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by
sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),
which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

At that point dst is still the xfrm_dst for the current SA which

Since the IP ID is going to sit on the outside of the encapsulated
