345f6b8beb [PATCH] softmac: do shared key auth in workqueue
Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked
it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive
calls into the driver)

This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small
modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication
challenge response frame from a workqueue entry.

I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to
authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but
not patched in.

f59fc7f30b [IPV4/IPV6]: Setting 0 for unused port field in RAW IP recvmsg().
From: Tetsuo Handa from-linux-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp

The recvmsg() for raw socket seems to return random u16 value
from the kernel stack memory since port field is not initialized.
But I'm not sure this patch is correct.
Does raw socket return any information stored in port field?

[ BSD defines RAW IP recvmsg to return a sin_port value of zero.
  This is described in Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2 on
  page 1055, which is discussing the BSD rip_input() implementation. ]

7228749092 [IPV4] ipmr: ip multicast route bug fix.
IP multicast route code was reusing an skb which causes use after free

From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>

Note, it is real skb_clone(), not alloc_skb(). Equeued skb contains

It could be also skb_copy(), if we want to be puristic about mangling

28658c8967 [NETFILTER]: xt_pkttype: fix mismatches on locally generated packets
Locally generated broadcast and multicast packets have pkttype set to
PACKET_LOOPBACK instead of PACKET_BROADCAST or PACKET_MULTICAST. This
causes the pkttype match to fail to match packets of either type.

The below patch remedies this by using the daddr as a hint as to
broadcast|multicast. While not pretty, this seems like the only way
to solve the problem short of just noting this as a limitation of the
match.

This resolves netfilter bugzilla #484

98bcd08b5b [Bluetooth] Correct RFCOMM channel MTU for broken implementations
Some Bluetooth RFCOMM implementations try to negotiate a bigger channel
MTU than we can support for a particular session. The maximum MTU for
a RFCOMM session is limited through the L2CAP layer. So if the other
side proposes a channel MTU that is bigger than the underlying L2CAP
MTU, we should reduce it to the L2CAP MTU of the session minus five
bytes for the RFCOMM headers.

I went to alter the default sysctl and it didn't take for new sockets.
Below patch fixes this.

I think the default is too low but it is what the DCCP spec specifies.

As a side effect of this my rx speed using iperf goes from about 2.8 Mbits/sec
to 3.5. This is still far too slow but it is a step in the right direction.

Compile tested only for IPv6 but not particularly complex change.

89e1df74f8 [PKT_SCHED] netem: Fix slab corruption with netem (2nd try)
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB found the following bug:

struct netem_skb_cb *cb = (struct netem_skb_cb *)skb->cb;
But then, the slab object may be freed:
skb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC)
cb is still pointing inside the freed skb, so here is a patch to
initialize cb later, and make it clear that initializing it sooner
is a bad idea.

complain in case of use before initialization]

27b437c8b7 [NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trim
When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of
the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming.  This
will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length
or tail from the frag_list.

Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment.

Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet
with a frag_list attached.

It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure
that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list.  In
fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying
the data area of the skb.  For now though, let's do the conservative fix
and update frag_list.

Many thanks to Marco Berizzi for helping me to track down this bug.

This 4-year old bug took 3 months to track down.  Marco was very patient
indeed :)

A dependency on INPUT also implies !S390 (and therefore makes the

selection.

                                 2001::1  fe80::1     ::1
ifp->scope                             0     0x02    0x01
ipv6_addr_src_scope(&ifp->addr)     0x0e     0x02    0x01

So, we need to use ipv6_addr_src_scope(&ifp->addr) for sorting.

And, for backward compatibility, addresses should be sorted from
new one to old one.

6150c22e2a [TCP] tcp_highspeed: Fix AI updates.
I think there is still a problem with the AIMD parameter update in
HighSpeed TCP code.

Line 125~138 of the code (net/ipv4/tcp_highspeed.c):

	/* Update AIMD parameters */
	if (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
		while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
		       ca->ai < HSTCP_AIMD_MAX - 1)
			ca->ai++;
	} else if (tp->snd_cwnd < hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
		while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
		       ca->ai > 0)
			ca->ai--;

In fact, the second part (decreasing ca->ai) never decreases since the
while loop's inequality is in the reverse direction. This leads to
unfairness with multiple flows (once a flow happens to enjoy a higher
ca->ai, it keeps enjoying that even its cwnd decreases)

Here is a tentative fix (I also added a comment, trying to keep the
change clear):
