2014-07-08netpoll: fix use after freedavid decotigny
After a bonding master reclaims the netpoll info struct, slaves could still hold a pointer to the reclaimed data. This patch fixes it: as soon as netpoll_async_cleanup is called for a slave (eg. when un-enslaved), we make sure that this slave doesn't point to the data.

Setting just skb->sk without taking its reference and setting a destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb is used in a way not requiring skb->sk setting.

2014-07-08ip_tunnel: fix ip_tunnel_lookupDmitry Popov
This patch fixes 3 similar bugs where incoming packets might be routed into wrong non-wildcard tunnels: 1) Consider the following setup: ip address add 1.1.1.1/24 dev eth0 ip address add 1.1.1.2/24 dev eth0 ip tunnel add ipip1 remote 2.2.2.2 local 1.1.1.1 mode ipip dev eth0 ip link set ipip1 up Incoming ipip packets from 2.2.2.2 were routed into ipip1 even if it has dst = 1.1.1.2. Moreover even if there was wildcard tunnel like ip tunnel add ipip0 remote 2.2.2.2 local any mode ipip dev eth0 but it was created before explicit one (with local 1.1.1.1), incoming ipip packets with src = 2.2.2.2 and dst = 1.1.1.2 were still routed into ipip1. Same issue existed with all tunnels that use ip_tunnel_lookup (gre, vti) 2) ip address add 1.1.1.1/24 dev eth0 ip tunnel add ipip1 remote 2.2.146.85 local 1.1.1.1 mode ipip dev eth0 ip link set ipip1 up Incoming ipip packets with dst = 1.1.1.1 were routed into ipip1, no matter what src address is. Any remote ip address which has ip_tunnel_hash = 0 raised this issue, 2.2.146.85 is just an example, there are more than 4 million of them. And again, wildcard tunnel like ip tunnel add ipip0 remote any local 1.1.1.1 mode ipip dev eth0 wouldn't be ever matched if it was created before explicit tunnel like above. Gre & vti tunnels had the same issue. 3) ip address add 1.1.1.1/24 dev eth0 ip tunnel add gre1 remote 2.2.146.84 local 1.1.1.1 key 1 mode gre dev eth0 ip link set gre1 up Any incoming gre packet with key = 1 were routed into gre1, no matter what src/dst addresses are. Any remote ip address which has ip_tunnel_hash = 0 raised the issue, 2.2.146.84 is just an example, there are more than 4 million of them. Wildcard tunnel like ip tunnel add gre2 remote any local any key 1 mode gre dev eth0 wouldn't be ever matched if it was created before explicit tunnel like above. All this stuff happened because while looking for a wildcard tunnel we didn't check that matched tunnel is a wildcard one. Fixed.

2014-07-08bridge: export knowledge about the presence of IGMP/MLD queriersLinus Lüssing
With this patch other modules are able to ask the bridge whether an IGMP or MLD querier exists on the according, bridged link layer. Multicast snooping can only be performed if a valid, selected querier exists on a link. Just like the bridge only enables its multicast snooping if a querier exists, e.g. batman-adv too can only activate its multicast snooping in bridged scenarios if a querier is present. For instance this export avoids having to reimplement IGMP/MLD querier message snooping and parsing in e.g. batman-adv, when multicast optimizations for bridged scenarios are added in the future.

2014-07-08tipc: fix bug in multicast/broadcast message reassemblyJon Paul Maloy
Since commit 37e22164a8a3c39bdad45aa463b1e69a1fdf4110 ("tipc: rename and move message reassembly function") reassembly of long broadcast messages has been broken. This is because we test for a non-NULL return value of the *buf parameter as criteria for succesful reassembly. However, this parameter is left defined even after reception of the first fragment, when reassebly is still incomplete. This leads to a kernel crash as soon as a the first fragment of a long broadcast message is received. We fix this with this commit, by implementing a stricter behavior of the function and its return values. This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.

Eran and Liad keep on working on the new devices. I have the regular amount of BT Coex stuff and I continue to work on the firmware error report system adding more debug capabilities. More to come on that subject too."

2014-07-08net/hsr: Better frame dispatchArvid Brodin
This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN compatibility. Other improvements: * A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat. * Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the standard hard_header_len. * Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be correctly set.

It's therefore safest to implement mutual exclusion of these states in the kernel. This patch ensures that the two states are never entered simultaneously.

2014-07-07tcp: fix false undo corner casesYuchung Cheng
The undo code assumes that, upon entering loss recovery, TCP 1) always retransmit something 2) the retransmission never fails locally (e.g., qdisc drop) so undo_marker is set in tcp_enter_recovery() and undo_retrans is incremented only when tcp_retransmit_skb() is successful. When the assumption is broken because TCP's cwnd is too small to retransmit or the retransmit fails locally. The next (DUP)ACK would incorrectly revert the cwnd and the congestion state in tcp_try_undo_dsack() or tcp_may_undo(). Subsequent (DUP)ACKs may enter the recovery state. The sender repeatedly enter and (incorrectly) exit recovery states if the retransmits continue to fail locally while receiving (DUP)ACKs. The fix is to initialize undo_retrans to -1 and start counting on the first retransmission. Always increment undo_retrans even if the retransmissions fail locally because they couldn't cause DSACKs to undo the cwnd reduction.

A bug was introduced in NETDEV_CHANGE notifier sequence causing the arp table to be sometimes spuriously cleared (including manual arp entries marked permanent), upon network link carrier changes. The changed argument for the notifier was applied only to a single caller of NETDEV_CHANGE, missing among others netdev_state_change(). So upon net_carrier events induced by the network, which are triggering a call to netdev_state_change(), arp_netdev_event() would decide whether to clear or not arp cache based on random/junk stack values (a kind of read buffer overflow).

2014-07-07ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmitTom Herbert
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.
