ipv6: Don't pass invalid dst_entry pointer to dst_release().

2011-04-04T20:07:26Z

Make sure dst_release() is not called with error pointer. This is similar to commit 4910ac6c526d2868adcb5893e0c428473de862b5 ("ipv4: Don't ip_rt_put() an error pointer in RAW sockets."). Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: len check is unnecessarily devastating, change to WARN_ON

2011-04-02T04:47:41Z

All callers are prepared for alloc failures anyway, so this error can safely be boomeranged to the callers domain without super bad consequences. ...At worst the connection might go into a state where each RTO tries to (unsuccessfully) re-fragment with such a mis-sized value and eventually dies.

sctp: malloc enough room for asconf-ack chunk

2011-04-02T04:45:51Z

Sometime the ASCONF_ACK parameters can equal to the fourfold of ASCONF parameters, this only happend in some special case: ASCONF parameter is : Unrecognized Parameter (4 bytes) ASCONF_ACK parameter should be: Error Cause Indication parameter (8 bytes header) + Error Cause (4 bytes header) + Unrecognized Parameter (4bytes) Four 4bytes Unrecognized Parameters in ASCONF chunk will cause panic.

appletalk: Fix OOPS in atalk_release().

2011-04-01T01:59:10Z

Commit 60d9f461a20ba59219fdcdc30cbf8e3a4ad3f625 ("appletalk: remove the BKL") added a dereference of "sk" before checking for NULL in atalk_release(). Guard the code block completely, rather than partially, with the NULL check. Reported-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sctp: Pass __GFP_NOWARN to hash table allocation attempts.

2011-03-31T00:51:36Z

Like DCCP and other similar pieces of code, there are mechanisms here to try allocating smaller hash tables if the allocation fails. So pass in __GFP_NOWARN like the others do instead of emitting a scary message. Reported-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

atm/solos-pci: Don't flap VCs when carrier state changes

2011-03-30T23:53:38Z

Don't flap VCs when carrier state changes; higher-level protocols can detect loss of connectivity and act accordingly. This is more consistent with how other network interfaces work. We no longer use release_vccs() so we can delete it. release_vccs() was duplicated from net/atm/common.c; make the corresponding function exported, since other code duplicates it and could leverage it if it were public.
