      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) If the local_df boolean is set on an SKB we have to allocate a
          unique ID even if IP_DF is set in the ipv4 headers, from Ansis
          Atteka.
      
       2) Some fixups for the new chipset support that went into the sfc
          driver, from Ben Hutchings.
      
       3) Because SCTP bypasses a good chunk of, and actually duplicates, the
          logic of the ipv6 output path, some IPSEC things don't get done
          properly.  Integrate SCTP better into the ipv6 output path so that
          these problems are fixed and such issues don't get missed in the
          future either.  From Daniel Borkmann.
      
       4) Fix skge regressions added by the DMA mapping error return checking
          added in v3.10, from Mikulas Patocka.
      
       5) Kill some more IRQF_DISABLED references, from Michael Opdenacker.
      
       6) Fix races and deadlocks in the bridging code, from Hong Zhiguo.
      
       7) Fix error handling in tun_set_iff(), in particular don't leak
          resources.  From Jason Wang.
      
       8) Prevent format-string injection into xen-netback driver, from Kees
          Cook.
      
       9) Fix regression added to netpoll ARP packet handling, in particular
          check for the right ETH_P_ARP protocol code.  From Sonic Zhang.
      
      10) Try to deal with AMD IOMMU errors when using r8169 chips, from
          Francois Romieu.
      
      11) Cure freezes due to recent changes in the rt2x00 wireless driver,
          from Stanislaw Gruszka.
      
      12) Don't do SPI transfers (which can sleep) in interrupt context in
          cw1200 driver, from Solomon Peachy.
      
      13) Fix LEDs handling bug in 5720 tg3 chips already handled for 5719.
          From Nithin Sujir.
      
      14) Make xen_netbk_count_skb_slots() count the actual number of slots
          that will be used, taking into consideration packing and other
          issues that the transmit path will run into.  From David Vrabel.
      
      15) Use the correct maximum age when calculating the bridge
          message_age_timer, from Chris Healy.
      
      16) Get rid of memory leaks in mcs7780 IRDA driver, from Alexey
          Khoroshilov.
      
      17) Netfilter conntrack extensions were converted to RCU but are not
          always freed properly using kfree_rcu().  Fix from Michal Kubecek.
      
      18) VF reset recovery not being done correctly in qlcnic driver, from
          Manish Chopra.
      
      19) Fix inverted test in ATM nicstar driver, from Andy Shevchenko.
      
      20) Missing workqueue destroy in cxgb4 error handling, from Wei Yang.
      
      21) Internal switch not initialized properly in bgmac driver, from Rafał
          Miłecki.
      
      22) Netlink messages report wrong local and remote addresses in IPv6
          tunneling, from Ding Zhi.
      
      23) ICMP redirects should not generate socket errors in DCCP and SCTP.
          We're still working out how this should be handled for RAW and UDP
          sockets.  From Daniel Borkmann and Duan Jiong.
      
      24) We've had several bugs wherein the network namespace's loopback
          device gets accessed after it is free'd, NULL it out so that we can
          catch these problems more readily.  From Eric W Biederman.
      
      25) Fix regression in TCP RTO calculations, from Neal Cardwell.
      
      26) Fix too early free of xen-netback network device when VIFs still

      netconsole: fix a deadlock with rtnl and netconsole's mutex · c71380ff
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      This bug was introduced by commit
      7a163bfb
      
       ("netconsole: avoid a crash with
      multiple sysfs writers"). In store_enabled() we have the following
      sequence: acquire nt->mutex then rtnl, but in the netconsole netdev
      notifier we have rtnl then nt->mutex effectively leading to a deadlock.
      The NULL pointer dereference that the above commit tries to fix is
      actually due to another bug in netpoll_cleanup(). This is fixed by dropping
      the mutex from the netdev notifier as it's already protected by rtnl.

      netpoll: fix NULL pointer dereference in netpoll_cleanup · d0fe8c88
      Nikolay Aleksandrov authored
      
      
      I've been hitting a NULL ptr deref while using netconsole because the
      np->dev check and the pointer manipulation in netpoll_cleanup are done
      without rtnl and the following sequence happens when having a netconsole
      over a vlan and we remove the vlan while disabling the netconsole:
      	CPU 1					CPU2
      					removes vlan and calls the notifier
      enters store_enabled(), calls
      netdev_cleanup which checks np->dev
      and then waits for rtnl
      					executes the netconsole netdev
      					release notifier making np->dev
      					== NULL and releases rtnl
      continues to dereference a member of
      np->dev which at this point is == NULL

      skge: fix broken driver · c194992c
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      The patch 136d8f37
      
       broke the skge driver.
      Note this part of the patch:
      +               if (skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size) < 0) {
      +                       dev_kfree_skb(nskb);
      +                       goto resubmit;
      +               }
      +
                      pci_unmap_single(skge->hw->pdev,
                                       dma_unmap_addr(e, mapaddr),
                                       dma_unmap_len(e, maplen),
                                       PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE);
                      skb = e->skb;
                      prefetch(skb->data);
      -               skge_rx_setup(skge, e, nskb, skge->rx_buf_size);
      
      The function skge_rx_setup modifies e->skb to point to the new skb. Thus,
      after this change, the new buffer, not the old, is returned to the
      networking stack.
      
      This bug is present in kernels 3.11, 3.11.1 and 3.12-rc1. The patch should
      be queued for 3.11-stable.

      ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed · 703133de
      Ansis Atteka authored
      
      
      If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
      ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
      correct defragmentation on the peer.
      
      For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
      that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
      to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
      If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
      peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
      not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
      or data corruption.

      skb->data already points to IP header, but for the sake of
      consistency we can also use ip_hdr() to retrieve it.

      xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down · 279f438e
      Paul Durrant authored
      
      
      Without this patch, if a frontend cycles through states Closing
      and Closed (which Windows frontends need to do) then the netdev
      will be destroyed and requires re-invocation of hotplug scripts
      to restore state before the frontend can move to Connected. Thus
      when udev is not in use the backend gets stuck in InitWait.
      
      With this patch, the netdev is left alone whilst the backend is
      still online and is only de-registered and freed just prior to
      destroying the vif (which is also nicely symmetrical with the
      netdev allocation and registration being done during probe) so
      no re-invocation of hotplug scripts is required.

       - A fix to VGA_MAP_MEM() for 64 bit platforms
       - Fix a workaround for 74K/1074K processors
       - The symlink arch/mips/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings was pointing to a

       - Fix PCI device access via "/sys/bus/pci/.../resource0" or similar
         work for Alchemy platforms
       - Fix potential data leak on MIPS R5 cores.  This doesn't add proper
         support for any R5 features, just ensures a kernel without such
         support will be secure to run
       - Adding a macros for the CP0 Config5 register to be used by the R5 fix
       - Make get_cycles() actually return something useful where possible
         This also requires a preparatory patch for performance sake
       - Fix a warning about the use of smp_processor_id() in preemptible
         code.  Again this includes a preparatory patch adding the
         infrastructure to be used by the actual patch
       - Finally remove pointless one-line comment
