Convert AF_PACKET to use RCU, eliminating one more reader/writer lock.

There is no need for a real sk_del_node_init_rcu(), because sk_del_node_init

88af182e38 net: Fix sysctl restarts...
Yuck.  It turns out that when we restart sysctls we were restarting
with the values already changed.  Which unfortunately meant that
the second time through we thought there was no change and skipped
all kinds of work, despite the fact that there was indeed a change.

I have fixed this the simplest way possible by restoring the changed
values when we restart the sysctl write.

One of my coworkers spotted this bug when after disabling forwarding
on an interface pings were still forwarded.

8be987d734 pfkey: fix SA and SP flush sequence
RFC 2367 says flushing behavior should be:
1) user space -> kernel: flush
2) kernel: flush
3) kernel -> user space: flush event to ALL listeners

This is not realistic today in the presence of selinux policies
which may reject the flush etc. So we make the sequence become:
1) user space -> kernel: flush
2) kernel: flush
3) kernel -> user space: flush response to originater from #1
4) if there were no errors then:
kernel -> user space: flush event to ALL listeners

ffb9eb3d8b nl80211: add power save commands
The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.

I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:

Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.

Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.

Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.

Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

9e2dcf7202 netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: properly handle packets fragmented into a single fragment
When an ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message is received with a MTU below 1280,
all further packets include a fragment header.

Unlike regular defragmentation, conntrack also needs to "reassemble"
those fragments in order to obtain a packet without the fragment
header for connection tracking. Currently nf_conntrack_reasm checks
whether a fragment has either IP6_MF set or an offset != 0, which
makes it ignore those fragments.

Remove the invalid check and make reassembly handle fragment queues
containing only a single fragment.

a88e22adf5 netfilter: ctnetlink: fix creation of conntrack with helpers
This patch fixes a bug that triggers an assertion if you create
a conntrack entry with a helper and netfilter debugging is enabled.
Basically, we hit the assertion because the confirmation flag is
set before the conntrack extensions are added. To fix this, we
move the extension addition before the aforementioned flag is
set.

This patch also removes the possibility of setting a helper for
existing conntracks. This operation would also trigger the
assertion since we are not allowed to add new extensions for
existing conntracks. We know noone that could benefit from
this operation sanely.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet for initial posting a preliminary patch
to address this issue.

e76b69cc01 net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

c2892f0271 gre: fix netns vs proto registration ordering
GRE protocol receive hook can be called right after protocol addition is done.
If netns stuff is not yet initialized, we're going to oops in
net_generic().

This is remotely oopsable if ip_gre is compiled as module and packet
comes at unfortunate moment of module loading.

553f9118ab xfrm: Fix xfrm_state_clone leak
xfrm_state_clone calls kfree instead of xfrm_state_put to free
a failed state.  Depending on the state of the failed state, it
can cause leaks to things like module references.

All states should be freed by xfrm_state_put past the point of
xfrm_init_state.

10e7454ed7 ipcomp: Avoid duplicate calls to ipcomp_destroy
When ipcomp_tunnel_attach fails we will call ipcomp_destroy twice.
This may lead to double-frees on certain structures.

As there is no reason to explicitly call ipcomp_destroy, this patch
removes it from ipcomp*.c and lets the standard xfrm_state destruction
take place.

This is based on the discovery and patch by Alexey Dobriyan.

Currently, ieee80211_drop_unencrypted is called
from management and data frame context, and the
different contexts pass different frames. This

90b89af7e1 netfilter: ebtables: try native set/getsockopt handlers, too
ebtables can be compiled to perform userspace-side padding of
structures. In that case, all the structures are already in the
'native' format expected by the kernel.

This tries to determine what format the userspace program is
using.

For most set/getsockopts, this can be done by checking
the len argument for sizeof(compat_ebt_replace) and
re-trying the native handler on error.

In case of EBT_SO_GET_ENTRIES, the native handler is tried first,
it will error out early when checking the *len argument
(the compat version has to defer this check until after
 iterating over the kernel data set once, to adjust for all
 the structure size differences).

As this would cause error printks, remove those as well, as
recommended by Bart de Schuymer.

81e675c227 netfilter: ebtables: add CONFIG_COMPAT support
Main code for 32 bit userland ebtables binary with 64 bit kernels
support.

Tested on x86_64 kernel only, using 64bit ebtables binary
for output comparision.

At least ebt_mark, m_mark and ebt_limit need CONFIG_COMPAT hooks, too.

remaining problem:

The ebtables userland makefile has:
ifeq ($(shell uname -m),sparc64)
	CFLAGS+=-DEBT_MIN_ALIGN=8 -DKERNEL_64_USERSPACE_32
endif

struct ebt_replace, ebt_entry_match etc. then contain userland-side
padding, i.e.  even if we are called from a 32 bit userland, the
structures may already be in the right format.

This problem is addressed in a follow-up patch.

026331c4d9 cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames
This implements a new command to register for action frames
that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel
rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
the socket can be closed for that.

Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
cfg80211 API helps implementing that.

Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
used either to exchange action frames on the current
operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public
Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

Store the serial number when beginning to walk the fib and reload

to other dumping functions, this might cause unrelated entries to

5affcd6ba2 mac80211: fix handling of null-rate control in rate_control_get_rate
For hardware with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL the rate controller is not
initialized. However, calling functions such as ieee80211_beacon_get result
in the rate_control_get_rate function getting called, which is accessing
(in this case uninitialized) rate control structures unconditionally.

Fix by exiting the function before setting the rates for HW with
IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL set. The initialization of the ieee80211_tx_info
struct is intentionally still executed.

69a6a0b38a dccp: allow probing of CCID-array length
This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.

This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.

Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

c6b471e645 inet: Remove bogus IGMPv3 report handling
Currently we treat IGMPv3 reports as if it were an IGMPv2/v1 report.
This is broken as IGMPv3 reports are formatted differently.  So we
end up suppressing a bogus multicast group (which should be harmless
as long as the leading reserved field is zero).

In fact, IGMPv3 does not allow membership report suppression so
we should simply ignore IGMPv3 membership reports as a host.

This patch does exactly that.  I kept the case statement for it
so people won't accidentally add it back thinking that we overlooked
this case.

598856407d tcp: fix ICMP-RTO war
Make sure, that TCP has a nonzero RTT estimation after three-way
handshake. Currently, a listening TCP has a value of 0 for srtt,
rttvar and rto right after the three-way handshake is completed
with TCP timestamps disabled.
This will lead to corrupt RTO recalculation and retransmission
flood when RTO is recalculated on backoff reversion as introduced
in "Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable"
(f1ecd5d9e7).
This behaviour can be provoked by connecting to a server which
"responds first" (like SMTP) and rejecting every packet after
the handshake with dest-unreachable, which will lead to softirq
load on the server (up to 30% per socket in some tests).

Denys Fedoryshchenko for reporting and testing.

Fix is to call cond_resched(), as we run in process context.

d8c8a9e365 9p: fix option parsing
Options pointer is being moved before calling kfree() which seems
to cause problems.  This uses a separate pointer to track and free
original allocation.

e15276a4b2 mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path.
The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there
is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered
even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on.
This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon
to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles.
Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every
data packet.

get_tx_stats() driver operation is not currently used anywhere in mac80211
and there are no plans to use it in the not-so-near future. So it can go
without anyone missing it.

29165e4c8b mac80211: fix deauth race
When userspace requests a deauth while the
authentication work is pending in the auth
(not probe) state, we do not properly abort
the work and then things get confused.

Fix that and also improve the checks here
to include the correct virtual interface,
just in case two virtual interfaces would
ever try to connect to the same BSS.

Also fix a bug -- need to use list_del_rcu
instead of just list_del to free a work
item.

74e2bd1fa3 mac80211: tear down all agg queues when restart/reconfig hw
When there is a need to restart/reconfig hw, tear down all the
aggregation queues and let the mac80211 and driver get in-sync to have
the opportunity to re-establish the aggregation queues again.

Need to wait until driver re-establish all the station information before tear
down the aggregation queues, driver(at least iwlwifi driver) will reject the
stop aggregation queue request if station is not ready. But also need to make
sure the aggregation queues are tear down before waking up the queues, so
mac80211 will not sending frames with aggregation bit set.

34e895075e mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep
Many drivers would like to sleep during station
addition and removal, and currently have a high
complexity there from not being able to.

This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
fail.

The reason we didn't do this previously is that
the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
This patch will keep the station allocation in
that path, but moves adding the station to the
driver out of line. Since the addition can now
fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
station but never tell the driver about it in
the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
a driver that has a low limit on the number of
stations and that cannot talk to any stations
that are not known to it, we need to do come up
with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.
