      netpoll: revert 6bdb7fe3 and fix be_poll() instead · 072a9c48
      Amerigo Wang authored
      Against -net.
      
      In the patch "netpoll: re-enable irq in poll_napi()", I tried to
      fix the following warning:

      by reenabling IRQ before calling ->poll, but it seems more
      problems are introduced after that patch:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/stuff/IMG_20120824_122054.jpg
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=134563282530588&w=2
      
      
      
      So it is safe to fix be2net driver code directly.
      
      This patch reverts the offending commit and fixes be_poll() by
      avoid disabling BH there, this is okay because be_poll()
      can be called either by poll_napi() which already disables
      IRQ, or by net_rx_action() which already disables BH.

      tcp: fix cwnd reduction for non-sack recovery · 7c4a56fe
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      
      
      The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets
      newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK
      signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly
      skips counting them for cwnd reduction.
      
      The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted
      in sacked_out for non-sack connections.

      netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processes · 20e1db19
      Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
      
      
      Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other
      processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink
      asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root
      process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers.
      
      The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in
      two ways:
      
      a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
         some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.
      
      b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
         of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
         message not coming from the kernel.
      
      However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
      been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
      So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
      know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.
      
      Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
      from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.
      
      This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
      in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
      applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
      two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
      NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
      userspace communication.
      
      Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
      userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
      I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
      communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
      that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
      NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.

      Erroneously the DWMAC_CORE_3_40 was set to 34 instead of 0x34.
      This can generate problems when run on old chips because
      the driver assumes that there are the extra 16 regs available

      ipv4: properly update pmtu · 9b04f350
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      Sylvain Munault reported following info :
      
       - TCP connection get "stuck" with data in send queue when doing
         "large" transfers ( like typing 'ps ax' on a ssh connection )
       - Only happens on path where the PMTU is lower than the MTU of
         the interface
       - Is not present right after boot, it only appears 10-20min after
         boot or so. (and that's inside the _same_ TCP connection, it works
         fine at first and then in the same ssh session, it'll get stuck)
       - Definitely seems related to fragments somehow since I see a router
         sending ICMP message saying fragmentation is needed.
       - Exact same setup works fine with kernel 3.5.1
      
      Problem happens when the 10 minutes (ip_rt_mtu_expires) expiration
      period is over.
      
      ip_rt_update_pmtu() calls dst_set_expires() to rearm a new expiration,
      but dst_set_expires() does nothing because dst.expires is already set.
      
      It seems we want to set the expires field to a new value, regardless
      of prior one.
      
      With help from Julian Anastasov.

      task_work: add a scheduling point in task_work_run() · 88ec2789
      Eric Dumazet authored
      It seems commit 4a9d4b02 (switch fput to task_work_add) reintroduced
      the problem addressed in commit 944be0b2
      
       (close_files(): add scheduling
      point)
      
      If a server process with a lot of files (say 2 million tcp sockets)
      is killed, we can spend a lot of time in task_work_run() and trigger
      a soft lockup.

      fbcon: fix race condition between console lock and cursor timer (v1.1) · d8636a27
      Dave Airlie authored
      
      
      So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
      efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
      days to finding the problem.
      
      Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
      message and that was all.
      
      So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
      under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.
      
      Thread A (driver load)    Thread B (timer thread)
        unbind_con_driver ->              |
        bind_con_driver ->                |
        vc->vc_sw->con_deinit ->          |
        fbcon_deinit ->                   |
        console_lock()                    |
            |                             |
            |                       fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
            |                       console_lock() <- blocked for A
            |
            |
      fbcon_del_cursor_timer ->
        del_timer_sync
        (BOOM)
      
      Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
      we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
      console guess what we never see anything.
      
      Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms
      driver handoff.
      
      v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan.

       "A couple weeks of bug fixing in there.  The largest chunk is all the
        broken crap Amerigo Wang found in the netpoll layer."
      
       1) netpoll and it's users has several serious bugs:
          a) uses GFP_KERNEL with locks held
          b) interfaces requiring interrupts disabled are called with them
             enabled
          c) and vice versa
          d) VLAN tag demuxing, as per all other RX packet input paths, is not
             applied
      
          All from Amerigo Wang.
      
       2) Hopefully cure the ipv4 mapped ipv6 address TCP early demux bugs for
          good, from Neal Cardwell.
      
       3) Unlike AF_UNIX, AF_PACKET sockets don't set a default credentials
          when the user doesn't specify one explicitly during sendmsg().
          Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is
          definitely not what we want.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
       4) IPv6 illegally invokes netdevice notifiers with RCU lock held, fix
          from Ben Hutchings.
      
       5) inet_csk_route_child_sock() checks wrong inet options pointer, fix
          from Christoph Paasch.
      
       6) When AF_PACKET is used for transmit, packet loopback doesn't behave
          properly when a socket fanout is enabled, from Eric Leblond.
      
       7) On bluetooth l2cap channel create failure, we leak the socket, from
          Jaganath Kanakkassery.
      
       8) Fix all the netprio file handling bugs found by Al Viro, from John
          Fastabend.
      
       9) Several error return and NULL deref bug fixes in networking drivers
          from Julia Lawall.
      
      10) A large smattering of struct padding et al.  kernel memory leaks to
          userspace found of Mathias Krause.
      
      11) Conntrack expections in netfilter can access an uninitialized timer,
          fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
      
      12) Several netfilter SIP tracker bug fixes from Patrick McHardy.
      
      13) IPSEC ipv6 routes are not initialized correctly all the time,
          resulting in an OOPS in inet_putpeer().  Also from Patrick McHardy.
      
      14) Bridging does rcu_dereference() outside of RCU protected area, from
          Stephen Hemminger.
      
      15) Fix routing cache removal performance regression when looking up
          output routes that have a local destination.  From Zheng Yan.
