2fb6b9b8e5 mac80211: use TDLS initiator in tdls_mgmt operations
The TDLS initiator is set once during link setup. If determines the
address ordering in the link identifier IE.
Use the value from userspace in order to have a correct teardown packet.
With the current code, a teardown from the responder side fails the TDLS
MIC check because of a bad link identifier IE.

68885a54cd mac80211: set auth flags after other station info
For TDLS, the AUTHORIZED flag arrives with all other important station
info (supported rates, HT/VHT caps, ...). Make sure to set the station
state in the low-level driver after transferring this information to
the mac80211 STA entry.
This aligns the STA information during sta_state callbacks with the
non-TDLS case.

a46992b441 mac80211: stop only the queues assigned to the vif during channel switch
Instead of stopping all the hardware queues during channel switch,
which is especially bad when we have large CSA counts, stop only the
queues that are assigned to the vif that is performing the channel
switch.

Additionally, check for (sdata->csa_block_tx) instead of calling
ieee80211_csa_needs_block_tx(), which can now be removed.

26da23b695 mac80211: add functions to stop and wake all queues assigned to a vif
In some cases we may want to stop the queues of a single vif (for
instance during a channel-switch).  Add a function that stops all the
queues that are assigned to a vif.  If a queue is assigned to more
than one vif, the corresponding netdev subqueue of the other vif(s)
will also be stopped.  If the HW doesn't set the
IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL flag, then all queues are stopped.

Also add a corresponding function to wake the queues of a vif back.

cca07b00a5 mac80211: introduce refcount for queue_stop_reasons
Sometimes different vifs may be stopping the queues for the same
reason (e.g. when several interfaces are performing a channel switch).
Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds
a refcount instead.  In order to keep it backwards compatible,
introduce a boolean in some functions that tell us whether the queue
stopping should be refcounted or not.  For now, use not refcounted for
all calls to keep it functionally the same as before.

b7ffbd7ef6 cfg80211: make ethtool the driver's responsibility
Currently, cfg80211 tries to implement ethtool, but that doesn't
really scale well, with all the different operations. Make the
lower-level driver responsible for it, which currently only has
an effect on mac80211. It will similarly not scale well at that

2b470c39e8 mac80211: remove ignore_plink_timer flag
The mesh_plink code is doing some interesting things with the
ignore_plink_timer flag.  It seems the original intent was to
handle this race:

cpu 0                           cpu 1
-----                           -----
                                start timer handler for state X
acquire sta_lock
change state from X to Y
mod_timer() / del_timer()
release sta_lock
                                acquire sta_lock
                                execute state Y timer too soon

However, using the mod_timer()/del_timer() return values to
detect these cases is broken.  As a result, timers get ignored
unnecessarily, and stations can get stuck in the peering state
machine.

Instead, we can detect the case by looking at the timer expiration.
In the case of del_timer, just ignore the timers in the following
(LISTEN/ESTAB) states since they won't have timers anyway.

5ac2e35030 mac80211: fix station/driver powersave race
It is currently possible to have a race due to the station PS
unblock work like this:
 * station goes to sleep with frames buffered in the driver
 * driver blocks wakeup
 * station wakes up again
 * driver flushes/returns frames, and unblocks, which schedules
   the unblock work
 * unblock work starts to run, and checks that the station is
   awake (i.e. that the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag isn't set)
 * we process a received frame with PM=1, setting the flag again
 * ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() runs, delivering all frames
   to the driver, and then clearing the WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER and
   WLAN_STA_PS_STA flags

In this scenario, mac80211 will think that the station is awake,
while it really is asleep, and any TX'ed frames should be filtered
by the device (it will know that the station is sleeping) but then
passed to mac80211 again, which will not buffer it either as it
thinks the station is awake, and eventually the packets will be
dropped.

Fix this by moving the clearing of the flags to exactly where we
learn about the situation. This creates a problem of reordering,
so introduce another flag indicating that delivery is being done,
this new flag also queues frames and is cleared only while the
spinlock is held (which the queuing code also holds) so that any
concurrent delivery/TX is handled correctly.

b58537a1f5 net: sctp: fix permissions for rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs
Commit 3fd091e73b ("[SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs
to jiffies conversions.") has silently changed permissions for
rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs from 0644 to 0444. The purpose of
this was to discourage users from tweaking rto_alpha and
rto_beta knobs in production environments since they are key
to correctly compute rtt/srtt.

RFC4960 under section 6.3.1. RTO Calculation says regarding
rto_alpha and rto_beta under rule C3 and C4:

  [...]
  C3)  When a new RTT measurement R' is made, set

       RTTVAR <- (1 - RTO.Beta) * RTTVAR + RTO.Beta * |SRTT - R'|

       and

       SRTT <- (1 - RTO.Alpha) * SRTT + RTO.Alpha * R'

       Note: The value of SRTT used in the update to RTTVAR
       is its value before updating SRTT itself using the
       second assignment. After the computation, update
       RTO <- SRTT + 4 * RTTVAR.

  C4)  When data is in flight and when allowed by rule C5
       below, a new RTT measurement MUST be made each round
       trip. Furthermore, new RTT measurements SHOULD be
       made no more than once per round trip for a given
       destination transport address. There are two reasons
       for this recommendation: First, it appears that
       measuring more frequently often does not in practice
       yield any significant benefit [ALLMAN99]; second,
       if measurements are made more often, then the values
       of RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta in rule C3 above should be
       adjusted so that SRTT and RTTVAR still adjust to
       changes at roughly the same rate (in terms of how many
       round trips it takes them to reflect new values) as
       they would if making only one measurement per
       round-trip and using RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta as given
       in rule C3. However, the exact nature of these
       adjustments remains a research issue.
  [...]

While it is discouraged to adjust rto_alpha and rto_beta
and not further specified how to adjust them, the RFC also
doesn't explicitly forbid it, but rather gives a RECOMMENDED
default value (rto_alpha=3, rto_beta=2). We have a couple
of users relying on the old permissions before they got
changed. That said, if someone really has the urge to adjust
them, we could allow it with a warning in the log.

46fb51eb96 net: Fix save software checksum complete
Geert reported issues regarding checksum complete and UDP.
The logic introduced in commit 7e3cead517
("net: Save software checksum complete") is not correct.

This patch:
1) Restores code in __skb_checksum_complete_header except for setting
   CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This function may be calculating checksum on
   something less than skb->len.
2) Adds saving checksum to __skb_checksum_complete. The full packet
   checksum 0..skb->len is calculated without adding in pseudo header.
   This value is saved in skb->csum and then the pseudo header is added
   to that to derive the checksum for validation.
3) In both __skb_checksum_complete_header and __skb_checksum_complete,
   set skb->csum_valid to whether checksum of zero was computed. This
   allows skb_csum_unnecessary to return true without changing to
   CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which was done previously.
4) Copy new csum related bits in __copy_skb_header.

Its too easy to add thousand of UDP sockets on a particular bucket,

Early demux is supposed to be an optimization, we should avoid spending
too much time in it.

It is interesting to note __udp4_lib_demux_lookup() only tries to
match first socket in the chain.

10 is the threshold we already have in __udp4_lib_lookup() to switch

e5eca6d41f rtnetlink: fix userspace API breakage for iproute2 < v3.9.0
When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.

The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce5c ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.

iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").

The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)

We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.

With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new
iproute2 versions.

  net/bridge/br_multicast.c:1368 br_ip6_multicast_query() error:
    we previously assumed 'group' could be null (see line 1349)"

In the rare (sort of broken) case of a query having a Maximum
Response Delay of zero, we could create a potential null pointer
dereference.

Fixing this by skipping the multicast specific MLD Query parsing again
if no multicast group address is available.

Introduced by dc4eb53a99
("bridge: adhere to querier election mechanism specified by RFCs")

d3217b15a1 sctp: Fix sk_ack_backlog wrap-around problem
Consider the scenario:
For a TCP-style socket, while processing the COOKIE_ECHO chunk in
sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce(), after it has passed a series of sanity check,
a new association would be created in sctp_unpack_cookie(), but afterwards,
some processing maybe failed, and sctp_association_free() will be called to
free the previously allocated association, in sctp_association_free(),
sk_ack_backlog value is decremented for this socket, since the initial
value for sk_ack_backlog is 0, after the decrement, it will be 65535,
a wrap-around problem happens, and if we want to establish new associations
afterward in the same socket, ABORT would be triggered since sctp deem the
accept queue as full.
Fix this issue by only decrementing sk_ack_backlog for associations in
the endpoint's list.

6e765a009a net_sched: drr: warn when qdisc is not work conserving
The DRR scheduler requires that items on the active list are work
conserving, i.e. do not hold on to skbs for throttling purposes, etc.
Attaching e.g. tbf renders DRR useless because all other classes on the
active list are delayed as well.

So, warn users that this configuration won't work as expected; we
already do this in couple of other qdiscs, see e.g.

commit b00355db3f
('pkt_sched: sch_hfsc: sch_htb: Add non-work-conserving warning handler')

The 'const' change is needed to avoid compiler warning ("discards 'const'
qualifier from pointer target type").

tested with:
drr_hier() {
        parent=$1
        classes=$2
        for i in  $(seq 1 $classes); do
                classid=$parent$(printf %x $i)
                tc class add dev eth0 parent $parent classid $classid drr
		tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent $classid tbf rate 64kbit burst 256kbit limit 64kbit
        done
}
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: drr
drr_hier 1: 32

9709674e68 ipv4: fix a race in ip4_datagram_release_cb()
Alexey gave a AddressSanitizer[1] report that finally gave a good hint
at where was the origin of various problems already reported by Dormando
in the past [2]

Problem comes from the fact that UDP can have a lockless TX path, and
concurrent threads can manipulate sk_dst_cache, while another thread,
is holding socket lock and calls __sk_dst_set() in
ip4_datagram_release_cb() (this was added in linux-3.8)

It seems that all we need to do is to use sk_dst_check() and
sk_dst_set() so that all the writers hold same spinlock
(sk->sk_dst_lock) to prevent corruptions.

TCP stack do not need this protection, as all sk_dst_cache writers hold
the socket lock.

Add a couple of new functions to allow the copy skb to be allocated

204177f3f3 bridge: Support 802.1ad vlan filtering
This enables us to change the vlan protocol for vlan filtering.
We come to be able to filter frames on the basis of 802.1ad vlan tags
through a bridge.

This also changes br->group_addr if it has not been set by user.
This is needed for an 802.1ad bridge.
(See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.5.)

Furthermore, this sets br->group_fwd_mask_required so that an 802.1ad
bridge can forward the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses except
for br->group_addr, which should be passed to higher layer.

To change the vlan protocol, write a protocol in sysfs:
# echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol

f2808d226f bridge: Prepare for forwarding another bridge group addresses
If a bridge is an 802.1ad bridge, it must forward another bridge group
addresses (the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses).
(For details, see IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.6.3.)

As user might not want group_fwd_mask to be modified by enabling 802.1ad,
introduce a new mask, group_fwd_mask_required, which indicates addresses
the bridge wants to forward. This will be set by enabling 802.1ad.

8580e2117c bridge: Prepare for 802.1ad vlan filtering support
This enables a bridge to have vlan protocol informantion and allows vlan
tag manipulation (retrieve, insert and remove tags) according to the vlan
protocol.

02c00c2ab0 tipc: fix potential bug in function tipc_backlog_rcv
In commit 4f4482dcd9 ("tipc: compensate
for double accounting in socket rcv buffer") we access 'truesize' of
a received buffer after it might have been released by the function
filter_rcv().

In this commit we correct this by reading the value of 'truesize' to
the stack before delivering the buffer to filter_rcv().

a7288c4dd5 net: sctp: improve sctp_select_active_and_retran_path selection
In function sctp_select_active_and_retran_path(), we walk the
transport list in order to look for the two most recently used
ACTIVE transports (trans_pri, trans_sec). In case we didn't find
anything ACTIVE, we currently just camp on a possibly PF or
INACTIVE transport that is primary path; this behavior actually
dates back to linux-history tree of the very early days of
lksctp, and can yield a behavior that chooses suboptimal
transport paths.

Instead, be a bit more clever by reusing and extending the
recently introduced sctp_trans_elect_best() handler. In case
both transports are evaluated to have the same score resulting
from their states, break the tie by looking at: 1) transport
patch error count 2) last_time_heard value from each transport.

This is analogous to Nishida's Quick Failover draft [1],
section 5.1, 3:

  The sender SHOULD avoid data transmission to PF destinations.
  When all destinations are in either PF or Inactive state,
  the sender MAY either move the destination from PF to active
  state (and transmit data to the active destination) or the
  sender MAY transmit data to a PF destination. In the former
  scenario, (i) the sender MUST NOT notify the ULP about the
  state transition, and (ii) MUST NOT clear the destination's
  error counter. It is recommended that the sender picks the
  PF destination with least error count (fewest consecutive
  timeouts) for data transmission. In case of a tie (multiple PF
  destinations with same error count), the sender MAY choose the
  last active destination.

Thus for sctp_select_active_and_retran_path(), we keep track of
the best, if any, transport that is in PF state and in case no
ACTIVE transport has been found (hence trans_{pri,sec} is NULL),
we select the best out of the three: current primary_path and
retran_path as well as a possible PF transport.

The secondary may still camp on the original primary_path as
before. The change in sctp_trans_elect_best() with a more fine
grained tie selection also improves at the same time path selection
for sctp_assoc_update_retran_path() in case of non-ACTIVE states.

e575235fc6 net: sctp: migrate most recently used transport to ktime
Be more precise in transport path selection and use ktime
helpers instead of jiffies to compare and pick the better
primary and secondary recently used transports. This also
avoids any side-effects during a possible roll-over, and
could lead to better path decision-making.
