Please pull the following batch of fixes for the 3.16 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"We have a fix from Eliad for a time calculation, a fix from Max for
head/tailroom when sending authentication packets, a revert that Felix
requested since the patch in question broke regulatory and a fix from
myself for an issue with a new command that we advertised in the wrong
place."
For the bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"A few fixes for 3.16. This pull request contains a NULL dereference fix,
and some security/pairing fixes."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"I have here a fix from Eliad for scheduled scan: it fixes a firmware
assertion. Arik reverts a patch I made that didn't take into account
that 3160 doesn't have UAPSD and hence, we can't assume that all
newer firmwares support the feature. Here too, the visible effect
is a firmware assertion. Along with that, we have a few fixes and
additions to the device list."
For the ath10k bits, Kalle says:
"Bartosz fixed an issue where we were not able to create 8 vdevs when
using DFS. Michal removed a false warning which was just confusing
people."

We have two different ways to handle changes to sk->sk_dst
First way (used by TCP) assumes socket lock is owned by caller, and use
no extra lock : __sk_dst_set() & __sk_dst_reset()
Another way (used by UDP) uses sk_dst_lock because socket lock is not
always taken. Note that sk_dst_lock is not softirq safe.
These ways are not inter changeable for a given socket type.
ipv4_sk_update_pmtu(), added in linux-3.8, added a race, as it used
the socket lock as synchronization, but users might be UDP sockets.
Instead of converting sk_dst_lock to a softirq safe version, use xchg()
as we did for sk_rx_dst in commit e47eb5dfb2 ("udp: ipv4: do not use
sk_dst_lock from softirq context")
In a follow up patch, we probably can remove sk_dst_lock, as it is
only used in IPv6.

When IP route cache had been removed in linux-3.6, we broke assumption
that dst entries were all freed after rcu grace period. DST_NOCACHE
dst were supposed to be freed from dst_release(). But it appears
we want to keep such dst around, either in UDP sockets or tunnels.
In sk_dst_get() we need to make sure dst refcount is not 0
before incrementing it, or else we might end up freeing a dst
twice.
DST_NOCACHE set on a dst does not mean this dst can not be attached
to a socket or a tunnel.
Then, before actual freeing, we need to observe a rcu grace period
to make sure all other cpus can catch the fact the dst is no longer
usable.

When writing to the sysctl field net.sctp.auth_enable, it can well
be that the user buffer we handed over to proc_dointvec() via
proc_sctp_do_auth() handler contains something other than integers.
In that case, we would set an uninitialized 4-byte value from the
stack to net->sctp.auth_enable that can be leaked back when reading
the sysctl variable, and it can unintentionally turn auth_enable
on/off based on the stack content since auth_enable is interpreted
as a boolean.
Fix it up by making sure proc_dointvec() returned sucessfully.

If there is an MSS change (or misbehaving receiver) that causes a SACK
to arrive that covers the end of an skb but is less than one MSS, then
tcp_match_skb_to_sack() was rounding up pkt_len to the full length of
the skb ("Round if necessary..."), then chopping all bytes off the skb
and creating a zero-byte skb in the write queue.
This was visible now because the recently simplified TLP logic in
bef1909ee3 ("tcp: fixing TLP's FIN recovery") could find that 0-byte
skb at the end of the write queue, and now that we do not check that
skb's length we could send it as a TLP probe.
Consider the following example scenario:
mss: 1000
skb: seq: 0 end_seq: 4000 len: 4000
SACK: start_seq: 3999 end_seq: 4000
The tcp_match_skb_to_sack() code will compute:
in_sack = false
pkt_len = start_seq - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq = 3999 - 0 = 3999
new_len = (pkt_len / mss) * mss = (3999/1000)*1000 = 3000
new_len += mss = 4000
Previously we would find the new_len > skb->len check failing, so we
would fall through and set pkt_len = new_len = 4000 and chop off
pkt_len of 4000 from the 4000-byte skb, leaving a 0-byte segment
afterward in the write queue.
With this new commit, we notice that the new new_len >= skb->len check
succeeds, so that we return without trying to fragment.

sysctl handler proc_sctp_do_hmac_alg(), proc_sctp_do_rto_min() and

when writing values via sysctl from internal proc functions such
as proc_dointvec() and proc_dostring().
In all these cases we pass the test for write != 0 and partially
do additional work just to notice that additional sanity checks
fail and we return with hard-coded -EINVAL while proc_do*
functions might also return different errors. So fix this up by
simply testing a successful return of proc_do* right after
calling it.
This also allows to propagate its return value onwards to the user.

Quoting Samu Kallio:
Basically what's happening is, during netns cleanup,
nf_nat_net_exit gets called before ipv4_net_exit. As I understand
it, nf_nat_net_exit is supposed to kill any conntrack entries which
have NAT context (through nf_ct_iterate_cleanup), but for some
reason this doesn't happen (perhaps something else is still holding
refs to those entries?).
When ipv4_net_exit is called, conntrack entries (including those
with NAT context) are cleaned up, but the
nat_bysource hashtable is long gone - freed in nf_nat_net_exit. The
bug happens when attempting to free a conntrack entry whose NAT hash
'prev' field points to a slot in the freed hash table (head for that
bin).
We ignore conntracks with null nat bindings. But this is wrong,
as these are in bysource hash table as well.
Restore nat-cleaning for the netns-is-being-removed case.

MAINTAINERS: update cxgb4 maintainer
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.

("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.
