51df784ed7 [NETFILTER] ctnetlink: check if protoinfo is present
This fixes an oops triggered from userspace. If we don't pass information
about the private protocol info, the reference to attr will be NULL. This is
likely to happen in update messages.

nfattr_parse (and thus nfattr_parse_nested) always returns success. So we

89f5f0aeed [IPV4]: Fix ip_queue_xmit identity increment for TSO packets
When ip_queue_xmit calls ip_select_ident_more for IP identity selection
it gives it the wrong packet count for TSO packets.  The ip_select_*
functions expect one less than the number of packets, so we need to
subtract one for TSO packets.

dc8103f25f [IPVS]: fix connection leak if expire_nodest_conn=1
There was a fix in 2.6.13 that changed the behaviour of
ip_vs_conn_expire_now function not to put reference to connection,
its callers should hold write lock or connection refcnt. But we
forgot to convert one caller, when the real server for connection
is unavailable caller should put the connection reference. It
happens only when sysctl var expire_nodest_conn is set to 1 and
such connections never expire. Thanks to Roberto Nibali who found
the problem and tested a 2.4.32-rc2 patch, which is equal to this
2.6 version. Patch for 2.4 is already sent to Marcelo.

The unknown protocol is used as a fallback when a protocol isn't known.
Hence we cannot handle it failing, so don't set ".me".  It's OK, since we

never take the module refcount from 0 to 1.

450b5b1898 [TCP]: BIC max increment too large
The max growth of BIC TCP is too large. Original code was based on
BIC 1.0 and the default there was 32. Later code (2.6.13) included
compensation for delayed acks, and should have reduced the default
value to 16; since normally TCP gets one ack for every two packets sent.

The current value of 32 makes BIC too aggressive and unfair to other
flows.

And filter mode is exclude.

Further explanation by David Stevens:

Multicast source filters aren't widely used yet, and that's really the only
feature that's affected if an application actually exercises this bug, as far
as I can tell. An ordinary filter-less multicast join should still work, and
only forwarded multicast traffic making use of filters and doing empty-source
filters with the MSFILTER ioctl would be at risk of not getting multicast
traffic forwarded to them because the reports generated would not be based on
the correct counts.

e89e9cf539 [IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach
Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.

1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO

This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.

UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets

1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG

NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.

2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for

"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"

skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.

skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.

For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.

2ad41065d9 [TCP]: Clear stale pred_flags when snd_wnd changes
This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems.  However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.

In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8.  This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.

The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections.  The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.

When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds.  When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.

When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.

In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero.  Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.

In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake.  It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it.  This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

1371e37da2 [IPV4]: Kill redundant rcu_dereference on fa_info
This patch kills a redundant rcu_dereference on fa->fa_info in fib_trie.c.
As this dereference directly follows a list_for_each_entry_rcu line, we
have already taken a read barrier with respect to getting an entry from
the list.

This read barrier guarantees that all values read out of fa are valid.
In particular, the contents of structure pointed to by fa->fa_info is
initialised before fa->fa_info is actually set (see fn_trie_insert);
the setting of fa->fa_info itself is further separated with a write
barrier from the insertion of fa into the list.

Therefore by taking a read barrier after obtaining fa from the list
(which is given by list_for_each_entry_rcu), we can be sure that
fa->fa_info contains a valid pointer, as well as the fact that the
data pointed to by fa->fa_info is itself valid.

d4875b049b [IPSEC] Fix block size/MTU bugs in ESP
This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP:

* Fix transport mode MTU overestimate.  This means that the inner MTU
  is smaller than it needs be.  Worse yet, given an input MTU which
  is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not
  a multiple of 4.

  For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of
  1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should
  be 1464.

  The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple
  of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6.

* Ensure that the block size is at least 4.  This is required by RFC2406
  and corresponds to what the esp_output function does.  At the moment
  this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

e6308be85a [IPV4]: fib_trie root-node expansion
The patch below introduces special thresholds to keep root node in the trie 
large. This gives a flatter tree at the cost of a modest memory increase.
Overall it seems to be gain and this was also proposed by one the authors 
of the paper in recent a seminar.

Main table after loading 123 k routes.

	Aver depth:     3.30
	Max depth:      9
        Root-node size  12 bits
        Total size: 4044  kB

With the patch:
	Aver depth:     2.78
	Max depth:      8
        Root-node size  15 bits
        Total size: 4150  kB

An increase of 8-10% was seen in forwading performance for an rDoS attack.

e5ed639913 [IPV4]: Replace __in_dev_get with __in_dev_get_rcu/rtnl
The following patch renames __in_dev_get() to __in_dev_get_rtnl() and
introduces __in_dev_get_rcu() to cover the second case.

1) RCU with refcnt should use in_dev_get().
2) RCU without refcnt should use __in_dev_get_rcu().
3) All others must hold RTNL and use __in_dev_get_rtnl().

There is one exception in net/ipv4/route.c which is in fact a pre-existing
race condition.  I've marked it as such so that we remember to fix it.

This patch is based on suggestions and prior work by Suzanne Wood and
Paul McKenney.

The breakage is caused by the change to use the CB area for flagging
whether a packet has been queued due to proxy_delay.  This area gets
cleared every time arp_rcv gets called.  Unfortunately packets delayed
due to proxy_delay also go through arp_rcv when they are reprocessed.

In fact, I can't think of a reason why delayed proxy packets should go
through netfilter again at all.  So the easiest solution is to bypass
that and go straight to arp_process.

This is essentially what would've happened before netfilter support
was added to ARP.
