---[ end trace e0d71ec1108c1dd9 ]---

I did not hit this with the lksctp-tools functional tests, but with a
small, multi-threaded test program, that heavily allocates, binds,
listens and waits in accept on sctp sockets, and then randomly kills
some of them (no need for an actual client in this case to hit this).
Then, again, allocating, binding, etc, and then killing child processes.

This panic then only occurs when ``echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable''
is set. The cause for that is actually very simple: in sctp_endpoint_init()
we enter the path of sctp_auth_init_hmacs(). There, we try to allocate
our crypto transforms through crypto_alloc_hash(). In our scenario,
it then can happen that crypto_alloc_hash() fails with -EINTR from
crypto_larval_wait(), thus we bail out and release the socket via
sk_common_release(), sctp_destroy_sock() and hit the NULL pointer
dereference as soon as we try to access members in the endpoint during
sctp_endpoint_free(), since endpoint at that time is still NULL. Now,
if we have that case, we do not need to do any cleanup work and just
leave the destruction handler.

This patch adds __sys_sendmsg and __sys_sendmsg as common helpers that accept
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT and blocks MSG_CMSG_COMPAT at the syscall entrypoints.  It
also reverts some unnecessary checks in sys_socketcall.

409b545ac1 netfilter: xt_TCPMSS: Fix violation of RFC879 in absence of MSS option
The clamp-mss-to-pmtu option of the xt_TCPMSS target can cause issues
connecting to websites if there was no MSS option present in the
original SYN packet from the client. In these cases, it may add a
MSS higher than the default specified in RFC879. Fix this by never
setting a value > 536 if no MSS option was specified by the client.

Lets convert all time fields to 1ns as 64bit arches are becoming the
norm.

5e71d9d77c net: fix sk_buff head without data area
Eric Dumazet spotted that we have to check skb->head instead
of skb->data as skb->head points to the beginning of the
data area of the skbuff. Similarly, we have to initialize the
skb->head pointer, not skb->data in __alloc_skb_head.

After this fix, netlink crashes in the release path of the
sk_buff, so let's fix that as well.

This bug was introduced in (0ebd0ac net: add function to

29ca2f8fcc net/core: __hw_addr_sync_one / _multiple broken
Currently, __hw_addr_sync_one is called in a loop by
__hw_addr_sync_multiple to sync each of a "from" device's hw addresses
to a "to" device.  __hw_addr_sync_one calls __hw_addr_add_ex to attempt
to add each address.  __hw_addr_add_ex is called with global=false, and
sync=true.

	__hw_addr_add_ex checks to see if the new address matches an
address already on the list.  If so, it tests global and sync.  In this
case, sync=true, and it then checks if the address is already synced,
and if so, returns 0.

	This 0 return causes __hw_addr_sync_one to increment the sync_cnt
and refcount for the "from" list's address entry, even though the address
is already synced and has a reference and sync_cnt.  This will cause
the sync_cnt and refcount to increment without bound every time an
addresses is added to the "from" device and synced to the "to" device.

	The fix here has two parts:

	First, when __hw_addr_add_ex finds the address already exists
and is synced, return -EEXIST instead of 0.

	Second, __hw_addr_sync_one checks the error return for -EEXIST,
and if so, it (a) does not add a refcount/sync_cnt, and (b) returns 0
itself so that __hw_addr_sync_multiple will not return an error.

60ba834c2f net/core: __hw_addr_unsync_one "from" address not marked synced
When an address is added to a subordinate interface (the "to"
list), the address entry in the "from" list is not marked "synced" as
the entry added to the "to" list is.

	When performing the unsync operation (e.g., dev_mc_unsync),
__hw_addr_unsync_one calls __hw_addr_del_entry with the "synced"
parameter set to true for the case when the address reference is being
released from the "from" list.  This causes a test inside to fail,
with the result being that the reference count on the "from" address
is not properly decremeted and the address on the "from" list will
never be freed.

	Correct this by having __hw_addr_unsync_one call the
__hw_addr_del_entry function with the "sync" flag set to false for the
"remove from the from list" case.

        * We now depend on the correct Kconfig symbol.
        * We register an MEI event callback whenever we enable an NFC device,
          otherwise we fail to read anything after an enable/disable cycle.
        * We only disable an MEI device from its disable mey_phy_ops,
          preventing useless consecutive disable calls.

- An NFC Makefile cleanup, as I forgot to remove a commented out line when
  moving the LLCP code to the NFC top level directory."

As for the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"This time I have a fix from Stanislaw for a stupid mistake I made in the
auth/assoc timeout changes, a fix from Felix for 64-bit traffic counters
and one from Helmut for address mask handling in mac80211. I also have a
few fixes myself for four different crashes reported by a few people."

And Johannes says this about the iwlwifi bit:

"This fixes a brown paper-bag bug that we really should've caught in
review. More details in the changelog for the fix."

On top of that...

Arend van Spriel and Hante Meuleman cooperate to send a series of AP
and P2P mode fixes for brcmfmac.

Gabor Juhos corrects a register offset for AR9550, avoiding a bus
error.

Dan Carpenter provides a fixup to some dmesg output in the atmel
driver.

And, finally...

Felix Fietkau not only gives us a trio of small AR934x fixes, but
also refactors the ath9k aggregation session start/stop handling
(using the generic mac80211 support) in order to avoid a deadlock.

Please let me know if there are problems!

====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for 3.10-rc3,
they are:

* fix xt_addrtype with IPv6, from Florian Westphal. This required
  a new hook for IPv6 functions in the netfilter core to avoid
  hard dependencies with the ipv6 subsystem when this match is
  only used for IPv4.

* fix connection reuse case in IPVS. Currently, if an reused
  connection are directed to the same server. If that server is
  down, those connection would fail. Therefore, clear the
  connection and choose a new server among the available ones.

* fix possible non-nul terminated string sent to user-space if
  ipt_ULOG is used as the default netfilter logging stub, from
  Chen Gang.

* fix mark logging of IPv6 packets in xt_LOG, from Michal Kubecek.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msg

MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is (AFAIK) not intended to be part of the API --
it's a hack that steals a bit to indicate to other networking code
that a compat entry was used.  So don't allow it from a non-compat
syscall.

This prevents an oops when running this code:

int main()
{
	int s;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	struct msghdr *hdr;

	char *highpage = mmap((void*)(TASK_SIZE_MAX - 4096), 4096,
	                      PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
	                      MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
	if (highpage == MAP_FAILED)
		err(1, "mmap");

	s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
	if (s == -1)
		err(1, "socket");

        addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        addr.sin_port = htons(1);
        addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
	if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0)
		err(1, "connect");

	void *evil = highpage + 4096 - COMPAT_MSGHDR_SIZE;
	printf("Evil address is %p\n", evil);

	if (syscall(__NR_sendmmsg, s, evil, 1, MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) < 0)
		err(1, "sendmmsg");

	return 0;

Somebody noticed LTP was complaining about O_NONBLOCK opens of
/proc/net/rpc/use-gss-proxy succeeding and then a following read
hanging.

I'm not convinced LTP really has any business opening random proc files
and expecting them to behave a certain way.  Maybe this isn't really a
bug.

But in any case the O_NONBLOCK behavior could be useful for someone that
wants to test whether gss-proxy is up without waiting.

f96ef988cc ipv4: fix redirect handling for TCP packets
Unlike ipv4_redirect() and ipv4_sk_redirect(), ip_do_redirect()
doesn't call __build_flow_key() directly but via
ip_rt_build_flow_key() wrapper. This leads to __build_flow_key()
getting pointer to IPv4 header of the ICMP redirect packet
rather than pointer to the embedded IPv4 header of the packet
initiating the redirect.

As a result, handling of ICMP redirects initiated by TCP packets
is broken. Issue was introduced by

ac20976dca mac80211: Allow single vif mac address change with addr_mask
When changing the MAC address of a single vif mac80211 will check if
the new address fits into the address mask specified by the driver.
This only needs to be done when using multiple BSSIDs. Hence, check
the new address only against all other vifs.

Also fix the MAC address assignment on new interfaces if the user
changed the address of a vif such that perm_addr is not covered by

c8aa22db01 mac80211: close AP_VLAN interfaces before unregistering all
Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces")
there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces
up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs
to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path,
unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to
deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this
happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this
AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this,
unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN
is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

1351c5d3b1 mac80211: assign AP_VLAN hw queues correctly
A lot of code in mac80211 assumes that the hw queues are
set up correctly for all interfaces (except for monitor)
but this isn't true for AP_VLAN interfaces. Fix this by
copying the AP master configuration when an AP VLAN is
brought up, after this the AP interface can't change its
configuration any more and needs to be brought down to
change it, which also forces AP_VLAN interfaces down, so
just copying in open() is sufficient.

Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in
 http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html

And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP
stack.

We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure()
is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation
layer.

A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in
linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well.

2b436312f0 mac80211: fix queue handling crash
The code I added in "mac80211: don't start new netdev queues
if driver stopped" crashes for monitor and AP VLAN interfaces
because while they have a netdev, they don't have queues set
up by the driver.

To fix the crash, exclude these from queue accounting here
and just start their netdev queues unconditionally.

For monitor, this is the best we can do, as we can redirect
frames there to any other interface and don't know which one
that will since it can be different for each frame.

For AP VLAN interfaces, we can do better later and actually
properly track the queue status. Not doing this is really a
separate bug though.

2a7851bffb netfilter: add nf_ipv6_ops hook to fix xt_addrtype with IPv6
Quoting https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812:

[ ip6tables -m addrtype ]
When I tried to use in the nat/PREROUTING it messes up the
routing cache even if the rule didn't matched at all.
[..]
If I remove the --limit-iface-in from the non-working scenario, so just
use the -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL it works!

This happens when LOCAL type matching is requested with --limit-iface-in,
and the default ipv6 route is via the interface the packet we test
arrived on.

Because xt_addrtype uses ip6_route_output, the ipv6 routing implementation
creates an unwanted cached entry, and the packet won't make it to the
real/expected destination.

Silently ignoring --limit-iface-in makes the routing work but it breaks
rule matching (--dst-type LOCAL with limit-iface-in is supposed to only
match if the dst address is configured on the incoming interface;
without --limit-iface-in it will match if the address is reachable
via lo).

The test should call ipv6_chk_addr() instead.  However, this would add
a link-time dependency on ipv6.

There are two possible solutions:

1) Revert the commit that moved ipt_addrtype to xt_addrtype,
   and put ipv6 specific code into ip6t_addrtype.
2) add new "nf_ipv6_ops" struct to register pointers to ipv6 functions.

While the former might seem preferable, Pablo pointed out that there
are more xt modules with link-time dependeny issues regarding ipv6,
so lets go for 2).

497574c72c xfrm: properly handle invalid states as an error
The error exit path needs err explicitly set. Otherwise it
returns success and the only caller, xfrm_output_resume(),
would oops in skb_dst(skb)->ops derefence as skb_dst(skb) is
NULL.

Bug introduced in commit bb65a9cb (xfrm: removes a superfluous
check and add a statistic).

35f079ebbc tcp: bug fix in proportional rate reduction.
This patch is a fix for a bug triggering newly_acked_sacked < 0
in tcp_ack(.).

The bug is triggered by sacked_out decreasing relative to prior_sacked,
but packets_out remaining the same as pior_packets. This is because the
snapshot of prior_packets is taken after tcp_sacktag_write_queue() while
prior_sacked is captured before tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). The problem
is: tcp_sacktag_write_queue (tcp_match_skb_to_sack() -> tcp_fragment)
adjusts the pcount for packets_out and sacked_out (MSS change or other
reason). As a result, this delta in pcount is reflected in
(prior_sacked - sacked_out) but not in (prior_packets - packets_out).

This patch does the following:
1) initializes prior_packets at the start of tcp_ack() so as to
capture the delta in packets_out created by tcp_fragment.
2) introduces a new "previous_packets_out" variable that snapshots
packets_out right before tcp_clean_rtx_queue, so pkts_acked can be
correctly computed as before.
3) Computes pkts_acked using previous_packets_out, and computes
newly_acked_sacked using prior_packets.
