fc8162e3c0 RDS: Copy rds_iovecs into kernel memory instead of rereading from userspace
Change rds_rdma_pages to take a passed-in rds_iovec array instead
of doing copy_from_user itself.

Change rds_cmsg_rdma_args to copy rds_iovec array once only. This
eliminates the possibility of userspace changing it after our
sanity checks.

Implement stack-based storage for small numbers of iovecs, based
on net/socket.c, to save an alloc in the extremely common case.

Although this patch reduces iovec copies in cmsg_rdma_args to 1,
we still do another one in rds_rdma_extra_size. Getting rid of
that one will be trickier, so it'll be a separate patch.

f4a3fc03c1 RDS: Clean up error handling in rds_cmsg_rdma_args

1b1f693d7a net: fix rds_iovec page count overflow
As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow.  We
get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to
UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for
an unaligned address).

So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not
even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they
might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong.

Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate
error code.

bdfa3d8fe1 can: pch_can: fix section mismatch warning by using a whitelisted name
This patch fixes the following section mismatch warning:

WARNING: drivers/net/can/pch_can.o(.data+0x18):
Section mismatch in reference from the variable pch_can_pcidev
to the variable .devinit.rodata:pch_pci_tbl
The variable pch_can_pcidev references
the variable __devinitconst pch_pci_tbl

This is actually a false positive which is fixed by giving the offending
variable a whitelisted name, it's renamed to "pch_can_pci_driver".
This makes sense because the variable is of the type "struct pci_driver".

520efd1ace mac80211: fix failure to check kmalloc return value in key_key_read
I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while
reading through the code. Patch below.

The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually
returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also
returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local
variable rather than a int one.

Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but
the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating
on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with
-ENOMEM in that case.

448d7b5daf pktgen: Limit how much data we copy onto the stack.
A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow
the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so
there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug.

printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's
just never copy more than that much data. We're on a fairly shallow stack, so
that should be safe even with CONFIG_4KSTACKS.

8acfe468b0 net: Limit socket I/O iovec total length to INT_MAX.
This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the
individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers.  Once
we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec
by setting the iov_len members to zero.

This works because:

1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial
   writes are allowed and the application will just continue
   with another write to send the rest of the data.

2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a
   one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and
   packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger
   than the packet size limit the protocol is going to
   check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

69dcfc8aad cxgb3: fix crash due to manipulating queues before registration
Along the same lines as "cxgb4: fix crash due to manipulating queues
before registration" (8f6d9f4047), before
commit "net: allocate tx queues in register_netdevice"
netif_tx_stop_all_queues and related functions could be used between
device allocation and registration but now only after registration.
cxgb4 has such a call before registration and crashes now.  Move it
after register_netdev.

b7126d8c70 8390: Don't oops on starting dev queue
The __NS8390_init tries to start the device queue before the
device is registered. This results in an oops (snipped):

This happens because the netif_start_queue sets respective bit on the dev->_tx
array which is not yet allocated.

As far as I understand the code removing the netif_start_queue from __NS8390_init
is OK, since queue will be started later on device open. Plz, correct me if I'm wrong.

b1fcf55eea dccp: Refine the wait-for-ccid mechanism
This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with
different types of CCID, addressing the following problems:

 1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for
    example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the
    application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked
    could lead to an indefinite  delay (i.e., application "hangs").
 2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes
    in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to
    further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate.
 3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length
    times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay
    of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait
    for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit.
 4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would
    be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then
    the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can
    be set via the SO_LINGER option.

These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the
`timeout' value.

The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application
 (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and
 (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or
 (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ
     state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq).

In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for
the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when
 (a) the host has been passively-closed,
 (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time),
 (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

dc841e30ea dccp: Extend CCID packet dequeueing interface
This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow
 1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent;
 2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds).

The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network-
limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption).

The mode of operation for (2) is as follows:
 * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(),
 * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full),
 * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER',
 * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action;
 * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true,
 * that CCID schedules the tasklet,
 * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(),
 * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now",
 * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops).

Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function
            reduces to a wrapper around the same code.

fe84f4140f dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()
This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending
function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches.

Currently the convention is
 * values < 0     mean error,
 * a value == 0   means "send now", and
 * a value x > 0  means "send in x milliseconds".

The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values.

In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds,
corresponding to 65.535 seconds.  This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the
maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec.

The DCB credits refill quantum _must_ be greater than half the max
packet size. This is needed to guarantee that TX DMA operations
are not attempted during a pause state. Additionally, the min IFG
must be set correctly for DCB mode. If a DMA operation is
requested unexpectedly during the pause state the HW data
store may be corrupted leading to a DMA hang.  The DMA hang
requires a reset to correct. This fixes the HW configuration
to avoid this condition.

  Subject: [BUG net-2.6 vlan/bonding] lockdep splats ]

Use BH variant of write_lock(&bond->lock) (as elsewhere in bond_main)
to prevent this dependency.

74b0b85b88 tunnels: Fix tunnels change rcu protection
After making rcu protection for tunnels (ipip, gre, sit and ip6) a bug
was introduced into the SIOCCHGTUNNEL code.

The tunnel is first unlinked, then addresses change, then it is linked
back probably into another bucket. But while changing the parms, the
hash table is unlocked to readers and they can lookup the improper tunnel.

Respective commits are b7285b79 (ipip: get rid of ipip_lock), 1507850b
(gre: get rid of ipgre_lock), 3a43be3c (sit: get rid of ipip6_lock) and
94767632 (ip6tnl: get rid of ip6_tnl_lock).

The quick fix is to wait for quiescent state to pass after unlinking,
but if it is inappropriate I can invent something better, just let me
know.

3d435ad721 ath5k: Fix double free on hw attach error path
If ath5k_hw_attach fails it will free sc->ah (local variable ah) before
returning. However, when it reports failure the caller (ath5k_pci_probe)
will also free sc->ah. Let the caller handle the deallocation, it does
so on further errors as well.

dc9f48ce7c mac80211: Fix scan_ies_len to include DS Params
Commit 651b52254f added DS Parameter Set
information into Probe Request frames that are transmitted on 2.4 GHz
band, but it failed to increment local->scan_ies_len to cover this new
information. This variable needs to be updated to match the maximum IE
data length so that the extra buffer need gets reduced from the driver
limit.

e609e2ea2c ath9k: fix tx aggregation flush on AR9003
Completing aggregate frames can lead to new buffers being pushed into
the tid queues due to software retransmission.
When the tx queues are being drained, all pending aggregates must be
completed before the tid queues get drained, otherwise buffers might be
leaked.

Apart from locking the start and stop PCU we need
to ensure we also content starting and stopping the PCU
between hardware resets.

b79b33c4ba ath9k: rename rxflushlock to pcu_lock
The real way to lock RX is to contend on the PCU
and reset, this will be fixed in the next patch but for
now just do the renames so that the next patch which changes
the locking order is crystal clear.

7583c550c3 ath9k: add locking for starting the PCU on RX
There was some locking for starting some parts of
RX but not for starting the PCU. Include this otherwise
we can content against stopping the PCU.

This can potentially lead to races against different
buffers on the PCU which can lead to to the DMA RX
engine writing to buffers which are already freed.

1e45028528 ath9k: add locking for stopping RX
ath9k locks for starting RX but not for stopping RX. We could
potentially run into a situation where tried to stop RX
but immediately started RX. This allows for races on the
the RX engine deciding what buffer we last left off on
and could potentially cause ath9k to DMA into already
free'd memory or in the worst case at a later time to
already given memory to other drivers.

Fix this by locking stopping RX.
