409a19669e IPVS: Integrate ESP protocol into ip_vs_proto_ah.c
Rename all ah_* functions to ah_esp_* (and adjust comments). Move ESP
protocol definition into ip_vs_proto_ah.c and remove all usage of
ip_vs_proto_esp.c.

Make the compilation of ip_vs_proto_ah.c dependent on a new config
variable, IP_VS_PROTO_AH_ESP, which is selected either by
IP_VS_PROTO_ESP or IP_VS_PROTO_AH. Only compile the selected protocols'
structures within this file.

f728bafb56 ipvs: Fix race conditions in lblcr scheduler
We can't access the cache entry outside of our critical read-locked region,
because someone may free that entry. Also getting an entry under read lock,
then locking for write and trying to delete that entry looks fishy, but should
be no problem here, because we're only comparing a pointer. Also there is no
need for our own rwlock, there is already one in the service structure for use
in the schedulers.

39ac50d0c7 ipvs: Fix race conditions in lblc scheduler
We can't access the cache entry outside of our critical read-locked region,
because someone may free that entry. And we also need to check in the critical
region wether the destination is still available, i.e. it's not in the trash.
If we drop our reference counter, the destination can be purged from the trash
at any time. Our caller only guarantees that no destination is moved to the
trash, while we are scheduling. Also there is no need for our own rwlock,
there is already one in the service structure for use in the schedulers.

1575e7ea01 netfilter: ctnetlink: fix double helper assignation for NAT'ed conntracks
If we create a conntrack that has NAT handlings and a helper, the helper
is assigned twice. This happens because nf_nat_setup_info() - via
nf_conntrack_alter_reply() - sets the helper before ctnetlink, which
indeed does not check if the conntrack already has a helper as it thinks that
it is a brand new conntrack.

The fix moves the helper assignation before the set of the status flags.
This avoids a bogus assertion in __nf_ct_ext_add (if netfilter assertions are
enabled) which checks that the conntrack must not be confirmed.

This problem was introduced in 2.6.23 with the netfilter extension
infrastructure.

d28934ad8a dccp: Fix panic caused by too early termination of retransmission mechanism
Thanks is due to Wei Yongjun for the detailed analysis and description of this
bug at http://marc.info/?l=dccp&m=121739364909199&w=2

The problem is that invalid packets received by a client in state REQUEST cause
the retransmission timer for the DCCP-Request to be reset. This includes freeing
the Request-skb ( in dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process() ). As a consequence,
 * the arrival of further packets cause a double-free, triggering a panic(),
 * the connection then may hang, since further retransmissions are blocked.

This patch changes the order of statements so that the retransmission timer is
reset, and the pending Request freed, only if a valid Response has arrived (or
the number of sysctl-retries has been exhausted).

Further changes:
----------------
To be on the safe side, replaced __kfree_skb with kfree_skb so that if due to
unexpected circumstances the sk_send_head is NULL the WARN_ON is used instead.

4d8863a29c pkt_sched: Don't hold qdisc lock over qdisc_destroy().
Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback
and help from Jarek Poplawski and Herbert Xu.

We always either:

1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc.

or

2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous
   references.

So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(),
it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is
free'd memory.

25bfcd5a78 pkt_sched: Add lockdep annotation for qdisc locks
Qdisc locks are initialized in the same function, qdisc_alloc(), so
lockdep can't distinguish tx qdisc lock from rx and reports "possible

after this patch these locks will be reported more exactly.

d47c3cebf5 p54u: reset skb's data/tail pointer on requeue
(Only important for USB V1 Adaptors)

If an incoming frame wasn't accepted by p54_rx function
the skb will be reused for new frames...

But, we must not forget to set the skb's data pointers into
the same state in which it was initialized by p54u_init_urbs.

Otherwise we either end up with 16 bytes less on every requeue,
or if a new frame is worthy enough to be accepted, the data is
in the wrong place (urb->transfer_buffer wasn't updated!) and mac80211
has a hard time to recognize it...

04a0551c87 loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting
Now that the network stack can handle inbound packets with partial
checksums, we should no longer clobber the ip_summed field in the
loopback driver.  This is because CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY implies that
the checksum field is actually valid which is not true for loopback
packets since it's only partial (and thus complemented).

This allows packets from lo to then be SNATed to an external source
while still preserving the checksum's validity.

6f85a124d8 net: Preserve netfilter attributes in skb_gso_segment using __copy_skb_header
skb_gso_segment didn't preserve some attributes in the original skb
such as the netfilter fields.  This was harmless until they were used
which is the case for packets going through lo.

This patch makes it call __copy_skb_header which also picks up some
other missing attributes.

7447ef63cf loopback: Remove rest of LOOPBACK_TSO code.
It hasn't been enabled for a long time and the generic GSO
engine is better documentation of what is expected of a
device implementing TSO.

f22f8567cb loopback: Enable TSO
This patch enables TSO since the loopback device is naturally
capable of handling packets of any size.  This also means that
we won't enable GSO on lo which is good until GSO is fixed to
preserve netfilter state as netfilter treats loopback packets
in a special way.
