ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the
RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify
the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.
Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in
everything later.
The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is
called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.

IFLA_BRPORT_MAX + 1 elements. Also Smatch complains that we read past

Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port
for such operations.
Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte
code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not
long enough to hold both.

Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional
and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do
prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
maintains as-is).
This change is needed for two reasons:
(1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
garbage or oops.
(2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
which this commit maintains).

Add logic to validate INET_DIAG_BC_S_COND and INET_DIAG_BC_D_COND
operations.
Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family,
address length, and prefix length. So a malicious user could make the
kernel read beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a
whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to
contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or
they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of
a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the
length of addresses of the given family.

Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections
instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually
created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This
means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a
random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the
request_sock.
With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving
IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to
inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16
bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where
the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

This patch adds support in the kernel for offloading in the NIC Tx and Rx
checksumming for encapsulated packets (such as VXLAN and IP GRE).
For Tx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set the right bits
in netdev->hw_enc_features. The protocol driver will have to set the
skb->encapsulation bit and populate the inner headers, so the NIC driver will
use those inner headers to calculate the csum in hardware.
For Rx encapsulation offload, the driver will need to set again the
skb->encapsulation flag and the skb->ip_csum to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
In that case the protocol driver should push the decapsulated packet up
to the stack, again with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In ether case, the protocol
driver should set the skb->encapsulation flag back to zero. Finally the
protocol driver should have NETIF_F_RXCSUM flag set in its features.

Paul Gortmaker says:
====================
Changes since v1:
-get rid of essentially unused variable spotted by
Neil Horman (patch #2)
-drop patch #3; defer it for 3.9 content, so Neil,
Jon and Ying can discuss its specifics at their
leisure while net-next is closed. (It had no
direct dependencies to the rest of the series, and
was just an optimization)
-fix indentation of accept() code directly in place
vs. forking it out to a separate function (was patch
#10, now patch #9).
Rebuilt and re-ran tests just to ensure nothing odd happened.
Original v1 text follows, updated pull information follows that.

Here is another batch of TIPC changes. The most interesting
thing is probably the non-blocking socket connect - I'm told
there were several users looking forward to seeing this.
Also there were some resource limitation changes that had
the right intent back in 2005, but were now apparently causing
needless limitations to people's real use cases; those have
been relaxed/removed.
There is a lockdep splat fix, but no need for a stable backport,
since it is virtually impossible to trigger in mainline; you
have to essentially modify code to force the probabilities
in your favour to see it.
The rest can largely be categorized as general cleanup of things
seen in the process of getting the above changes done.
Tested between 64 and 32 bit nodes with the test suite. I've
also compile tested all the individual commits on the chain.
I'd originally figured on this queue not being ready for 3.8, but
the extended stabilization window of 3.7 has changed that. On
the other hand, this can still be 3.9 material, if that simply
works better for folks - no problem for me to defer it to 2013.
If anyone spots any problems then I'll definitely defer it,
rather than rush a last minute respin.

In TIPC's accept() routine, there is a large block of code relating
to initialization of a new socket, all within an if condition checking
if the allocation succeeded.
Here, we simply flip the check of the if, so that the main execution
path stays at the same indentation level, which improves readability.
If the allocation fails, we jump to an already existing exit label.

TIPC accept() call grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated
socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. But lockdep
worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt:
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
---------------------------------------------
kworker/u:0/6 is trying to acquire lock:
(sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c1226c>] accept+0x15c/0x310 [tipc]
but task is already holding lock:
(sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c12138>] accept+0x28/0x310 [tipc]
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);
lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
[...]
Tell lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested().
This is similar to what was done in commit 5131a184a3458d9 for
SCTP code ("SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate").
Also note that this is isn't something that is seen normally,
as it was uncovered with some experimental work-in-progress
code not yet ready for mainline. So no need for stable
backports or similar of this commit.

TIPC has so far only supported blocking connect(), meaning that a call
to connect() doesn't return until either the connection is fully
established, or an error occurs. This has proved insufficient for many
users, so we now introduce non-blocking connect(), analogous to how
this is done in TCP and other protocols.
With this feature, if a connection cannot be established instantly,
connect() will return the error code "-EINPROGRESS".
If the user later calls connect() again, he will either have the
return code "-EALREADY" or "-EISCONN", depending on whether the
connection has been established or not.
The user must have explicitly set the socket to be non-blocking
(SOCK_NONBLOCK or O_NONBLOCK, depending on method used), so unless
for some reason they had set this already (the socket would anyway
remain blocking in current TIPC) this change should be completely
backwards compatible.
It is also now possible to call select() or poll() to wait for the
completion of a connection.
An effect of the above is that the actual completion of a connection
may now be performed asynchronously, independent of the calls from
user space. Therefore, we now execute this code in BH context, in
the function filter_rcv(), which is executed upon reception of
messages in the socket.

[PG: minor refactoring for improved connect/disconnect function names]
Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

Handling of connection-related message reception is currently scattered
around at different places in the code. This makes it harder to verify
that things are handled correctly in all possible scenarios.
So we consolidate the existing processing of connection-oriented
message reception in a single routine. In the process, we convert the
chain of if/else into a switch/case for improved readability.
A cast on the socket_state in the switch is needed to avoid compile
warnings on 32 bit, like "net/tipc/socket.c:1252:2: warning: case value
‘4294967295’ not in enumerated type". This happens because existing
tipc code pseudo extends the default linux socket state values with:
#define SS_LISTENING -1 /* socket is listening */
#define SS_READY -2 /* socket is connectionless */
It may make sense to add these as _positive_ values to the existing
socket state enum list someday, vs. these already existing defines.

Currently we have tipc_disconnect and tipc_disconnect_port. It is
not clear from the names alone, what they do or how they differ.
It turns out that tipc_disconnect just deals with the port locking
and then calls tipc_disconnect_port which does all the work.
If we rename as follows: tipc_disconnect_port --> __tipc_disconnect
then we will be following typical linux convention, where:
__tipc_disconnect: "raw" function that does all the work.
tipc_disconnect: wrapper that deals with locking and then calls
the real core __tipc_disconnect function
With this, the difference is immediately evident, and locking
violations are more apt to be spotted by chance while working on,
or even just while reading the code.
On the connect side of things, we currently only have the single
"tipc_connect2port" function. It does both the locking at enter/exit,
and the core of the work. Pending changes will make it desireable to
have the connect be a two part locking wrapper + worker function,
just like the disconnect is already.
Here, we make the connect look just like the updated disconnect case,
for the above reason, and for consistency. In the process, we also
get rid of the "2port" suffix that was on the original name, since
it adds no descriptive value.
On close examination, one might notice that the above connect
changes implicitly move the call to tipc_link_get_max_pkt() to be
within the scope of tipc_port_lock() protected region; when it was
not previously. We don't see any issues with this, and it is in
keeping with __tipc_connect doing the work and tipc_connect just
handling the locking.

commit 2e71a6f8084e (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.
Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.
napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
point to the last skb in frag_list.
Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
last fragment.

If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.
Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
or other loss recovery events.

As a complement to the per-socket sk_recv_queue limit, TIPC keeps a
global atomic counter for the sum of sk_recv_queue sizes across all
tipc sockets. When incremented, the counter is compared to an upper
threshold value, and if this is reached, the message is rejected
with error code TIPC_OVERLOAD.
This check was originally meant to protect the node against
buffer exhaustion and general CPU overload. However, all experience
indicates that the feature not only is redundant on Linux, but even
harmful. Users run into the limit very often, causing disturbances
for their applications, while removing it seems to have no negative
effects at all. We have also seen that overall performance is
boosted significantly when this bottleneck is removed.
Furthermore, we don't see any other network protocols maintaining
such a mechanism, something strengthening our conviction that this
control can be eliminated.
As a result, the atomic variable tipc_queue_size is now unused
and so it can be deleted. There is a getsockopt call that used
to allow reading it; we retain that but just return zero for
maximum compatibility.

John W. Linville says:
====================
This pull request is intended for 3.8...
This includes a Bluetooth pull. Gustavo says:
"A few more patches to 3.8, I hope they can still make it to mainline!
The most important ones are the socket option for the SCO protocol to allow
accept/refuse new connections from userspace. Other than that I added some
fixes and Andrei did more AMP work."
Also, a mac80211 pull. Johannes says:
"If you think there's any chance this might make it still, please pull my
mac80211-next tree (per below). This contains a relatively large number
of fixes to the previous code, as well as a few small features:
* VHT association in mac80211
* some new debugfs files
* P2P GO powersave configuration
* masked MAC address verification
The biggest patch is probably the BSS struct changes to use RCU for
their IE buffers to fix potential races. I've not tagged this for stable
because it's pretty invasive and nobody has ever seen any bugs in this
area as far as I know."
Several other drivers get some attention, including ath9k, brcmfmac,
brcmsmac, and a number of others. Also, Hauke gives us a series that
improves watchdog support for the bcma and ssb busses. Finally, Bill
Pemberton delivers a group of "remove __dev* attributes" for wireless
drivers -- these generate some "section mismatch" warnings, but Greg
K-H assures me that they will disappear by the time -rc1 is released.
This also includes a pull of the wireless tree to avoid merge
conflicts.

This patch against kernel 3.7.0-rc8 fixes a kernel oops when turning on the
bluetooth mouse with id 0458:0058 [1].
The mouse in question supports both input and hid sessions, however it is
blacklisted in drivers/hid/hid-core.c so the input session is one that should
be used. Long ago (around kernel 3.0.0) some changes in the bluetooth
subsystem made the kernel do not fallback to input session when hid session is
not supported or blacklisted. This patch restore that behaviour by making the
kernel try the input session if hid_add_device returns ENODEV.
The patch exports hid_ignore() from hid-core.c so that it can be used in the
bluetooth subsystem.

Each link instance has a periodic job checking if there is a stale
ongoing message reassembly associated to the link. If no new
fragment has been received during the last 4*[link_tolerance] period,
it is assumed the missing fragment will never arrive. As a consequence,
the reassembly buffer is discarded, and a gap in the message sequence
occurs.
This assumption is wrong. After we abandoned our ambition to develop
packet routing for multi-cluster networks, only single-hop packet
transfer remains as an option. For those, all packets are guaranteed
to be delivered in sequence to the defragmentation layer. Any failure
to achieve sequenced delivery will eventually lead to link reset, and
the reassembly buffer will be flushed anyway.
So we just remove this periodic check, which is now obsolete.

If the sdata work is pending while the interface is stopped,
we currently flush it. If it's not running this means waiting
for it to run, which could take a while if the workqueue is
backlogged. However, the work exits right away if it starts
to run while the interface is already stopping. There's no
point in waiting for that, so use cancel_work_sync() instead.

Previously, mesh peering frames from a STA without a station
entry were being dropped.
Mesh Peering Open and other frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED)
are valid mesh peering frames even if received from a yet unknown
station; the STA entry will be created in mesh_peer_init later.
The problem didn't occur previously since both STAs receive each
other's beacons which created the STA entry. However, this causes
an unnecessary delay and beacons might not be received if either
node is in PS mode.

Currently, the priority queues attempt to be 'fair' to lower priority
tasks by scheduling them after a certain number of higher priority tasks
have run. The problem is that both the transport send queue and
the NFSv4.1 session slot queue have strong ordering requirements.
This patch therefore removes the fairness code in favour of strong
ordering of task priorities.

V3: make it a flag
V2: make the toggle per-port
Fast leave allows bridge to immediately stops the multicast
traffic on the port receives IGMP Leave when IGMP snooping is enabled,
no timeouts are observed.

ipv6_sock_mc_close() is called for ipv6 sockets at close time, and most
of them don't use multicast.
Add a test to avoid contention on a shared spinlock.
Same heuristic applies for ipv6_sock_ac_close(), to avoid contention
on a shared rwlock.

unres_qlen_bytes and unres_qlen are int type.
But multiple relation(unres_qlen_bytes = unres_qlen * SKB_TRUESIZE(ETH_FRAME_LEN))
will cause type overflow when seting unres_qlen. e.g.
$ echo 1027506 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
1182657265
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen_bytes
-2147479756
The gutted value is not that we setting。
But user/administrator don't know this is caused by int type overflow.
what's more, it is meaningless and even dangerous that unres_qlen_bytes is set
with negative number. Because, for unresolved neighbour address, kernel will cache packets
without limit in __neigh_event_send()(e.g. (u32)-1 = 2GB).

The radiotap header length "needed_headroom" is only required if we're
sending the skb to a monitor interface. Hence, move the calculation a
bit later so the calculation can be skipped if no monitor interface is
present.

Commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98 "mac80211: retry sending
failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression
on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by
commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let
mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter
commit caused yet another problem reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22
After long discussion in this thread:
http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com
and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other
setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both
mentioned earlier commits.
To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit
f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98, instead of reverting it,
introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before
the commit.
