2012-07-17ixgbevf: Drop all dead or unnecessary codeAlexander Duyck
There is a large amount of code present in this driver to support features that either do no exist or are not supported such ask packet split, DCA, or RSC. This patch strips out almost all of that code and in the case of conditionals based on unused flags I am flatting the code out to just the path that would have been selected.

2012-07-17iommu/tegra: smmu: Fix unsleepable memory allocation at alloc_pdir()Hiroshi DOYU
alloc_pdir() is called from smmu_iommu_domain_init() with spin_lock held. memory allocations in alloc_pdir() had to be atomic. Instead of converting into atomic allocation, this patch once releases a lock, does the allocation, holds the lock again and then sees if it's raced or not in order to avoid introducing mutex and preallocation.

2012-07-17tcp: implement RFC 5961 3.2Eric Dumazet
Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind Reset attack using RST bit. Idea is to validate incoming RST sequence, to match RCV.NXT value, instead of previouly accepted window : (RCV.NXT <= SEG.SEQ < RCV.NXT+RCV.WND) If sequence is in window but not an exact match, send a "challenge ACK", so that the other part can resend an RST with the appropriate sequence. Add a new sysctl, tcp_challenge_ack_limit, to limit number of challenge ACK sent per second. Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent.

2012-07-17s390/idle: fix sequence handling vs cpu hotplugHeiko Carstens
The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem.

netem does an early orphaning of skbs. Doing so breaks TCP Small Queue or any mechanism relying on socket sk_wmem_alloc feedback. Ideally, we should perform this orphaning after the rate module and before the delay module, to mimic what happens on a real link : skb orphaning is indeed normally done at TX completion, before the transit on the link. +-------+ +--------+ +---------------+ +-----------------+ + Qdisc +---> Device +--> TX completion +--> links / hops +-> + + + xmit + + skb orphaning + + propagation + +-------+ +--------+ +---------------+ +-----------------+ < rate limiting > < delay, drops, reorders > If netem is used without delay feature (drops, reorders, rate limiting), then we should avoid early skb orphaning, to keep pressure on sockets as long as packets are still in qdisc queue. Ideally, netem should be refactored to implement delay module as the last stage. Current algorithm merges the two phases (rate limiting + delay) so its not correct.

2012-07-16net: cgroup: fix access the unallocated memory in netprio cgroupGao feng
there are some out of bound accesses in netprio cgroup. now before accessing the dev->priomap.priomap array,we only check if the dev->priomap exist.and because we don't want to see additional bound checkings in fast path, so we should make sure that dev->priomap is null or array size of dev->priomap.priomap is equal to max_prioidx + 1; so in write_priomap logic,we should call extend_netdev_table when dev->priomap is null and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len. and in cgrp_create->update_netdev_tables logic,we should call extend_netdev_table only when dev->priomap exist and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len. and it's not needed to call update_netdev_tables in write_priomap, we can only allocate the net device's priomap which we change through net_prio.ifpriomap. this patch also add a return value for update_netdev_tables & extend_netdev_table, so when new_priomap is allocated failed, write_priomap will stop to access the priomap,and return -ENOMEM back to the userspace to tell the user what happend. Change From v3: 1. add rtnl protect when reading max_prioidx in write_priomap. 2. only call extend_netdev_table when map->priomap_len < max_len, this will make sure array size of dev->map->priomap always bigger than any prioidx. 3. add a function write_update_netdev_table to make codes clear. Change From v2: 1. protect extend_netdev_table by RTNL. 2. when extend_netdev_table failed,call dev_put to reduce device's refcount.

2012-07-16ipv6: fix RTPROT_RA markup of RA routes w/nexthopsDenis Ovsienko
Userspace implementations of network routing protocols sometimes need to tell RA-originated IPv6 routes from other kernel routes to make proper routing decisions. This makes most sense for RA routes with nexthops, namely, default routes and Route Information routes. The intended mean of preserving RA route origin in a netlink message is through indicating RTPROT_RA as protocol code. Function rt6_fill_node() tried to do that for default routes, but its test condition was taken wrong. This change is modeled after the original mailing list posting by Jeff Haran. It fixes the test condition for default route case and sets the same behaviour for Route Information case (both types use nexthops). Handling of the 3rd RA route type, Prefix Information, is left unchanged, as it stands for interface connected routes (without nexthops).
