a6604471db tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync condition
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
  1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
  2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
     DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
     in cache in the first place.
  3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
     updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.

It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.

Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).

This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.

This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & 
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

24ef0da7b8 [IPV6] ADDRCONF: Check range of prefix length
As of now, the prefix length is not vaildated when adding or deleting
addresses. The value is passed directly into the inet6_ifaddr structure
and later passed on to memcmp() as length indicator which relies on
the value never to exceed 128 (bits).

Due to the missing check, the currently code allows for any 8 bit
value to be passed on as prefix length while using the netlink
interface, and any 32 bit value while using the ioctl interface.

8aca6cb117 tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))
It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.

I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).

This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

b9f5f52cca net: neighbour table ABI problem
The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
real system HZ value which is problematic.  Linux has standardized on
keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
internally at some other value.

This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
iproute2 utilities.  But these utilities are already broken since they
are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
utilities will just print wrong values.

537d59af73 bluetooth: rfcomm_dev_state_change deadlock fix
There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close:
	rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
	d->state = BT_CLOSED;
	d->state_changed(d, err);
	rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);

In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to
take the dlc lock, then we will deadlock.

Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in
rfcomm_dev_state_change.

why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's
another problem.  rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take
rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add the lock order is :
rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock

so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock.

Actually it's a regression caused by commit
1905f6c736 ("bluetooth :
__rfcomm_dlc_close lock fix"), the dlc state_change could be two
callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change. I
missed the rfcomm_sk_state_change that time.

Thanks Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for the effort in
commit 4c8411f8c1 ("bluetooth: fix
locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handling") but he missed the
rfcomm_dev_state_change lock issue.

4c8411f8c1 bluetooth: fix locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handling
in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the
following operation:

        if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) {
                /* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise
                 * rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */
                rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
                rfcomm_sock_kill(sk);
                rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
        }
}

which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call
rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good.

HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets
called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one
case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock
followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't
going anywhere fast.

This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like
the other usages of the same call are doing in this code.

This was found with the help of the www.kerneloops.org project, where this
deadlock was observed 51 times at this point in time:

This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get().

through the timer handler's argument.

The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in
timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which
may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results
in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers.

ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in
sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local
pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in
stat_info_get().

The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8
instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires
some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming
patches.

825de27d9e dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug
The identification of this bug is thanks to Cheng Wei and Tomasz
Grobelny.

To avoid divide-by-zero, the implementation previously ignored RTTs
smaller than 4 microseconds when performing integer division RTT/4.

When the RTT reached a value less than 4 microseconds (as observed on
loopback), this prevented the Window Counter CCVal value from
advancing. As a result, the receiver stopped sending feedback. This in
turn caused non-ending expiries of the nofeedback timer at the sender,
so that the sending rate was progressively reduced until reaching the
minimum of one packet per 64 seconds.

The patch fixes this bug by handling integer division more
intelligently. Due to consistent use of dccp_sample_rtt(),
divide-by-zero-RTT is avoided.

       If P.type is not Data, Ack, or DataAck and P.X == 0 (the packet

But DCCP has some mistake to handle short sequence numbers packet, now
it drop packet only if P.type is Data, Ack, or DataAck and P.X == 0.

289c79a4bd vlan: Use bitmask of feature flags instead of seperate feature bits
Herbert Xu points out that the use of seperate feature bits for features
to be propagated to VLAN devices is going to get messy real soon.
Replace the VLAN feature bits by a bitmask of feature flags to be
propagated and restore the old GSO_SHIFT/MASK values.

Unless there will be any objection here, I suggest consider the
following patch which simply removes the code for the
-DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT in the three methods which use it.

The compilation errors we get when using -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT
show that this code was not built and not used for really a long time.

	const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef";

and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant.

Sridhar Samudrala
7d227cd235 tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.

I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.

In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds 
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the 
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.

So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.
