2012-06-20batman-adv: Prefix gateway-client non-static functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann
batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids such a problem.

2012-06-20mac80211: use the correct capability info in ieee80211_set_associated()Luciano Coelho
If an AP is beaconing with different capabilities than the one we get in the associate response, we were still using the capabilities received in the beacons. One example is when the AP is beaconing with the short slot bit set to zero and then we try to connect to it with long slot. In this case, we would keep using long slot until the next beacon was received. Fix this by using the correct capability value when calling ieee80211_handle_bss_capability(). We were using cbss->capability, but we should use the bss_conf->assoc_capability instead. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Previously, we were flushing the work queue after osd_client shutdown and before mon_client shutdown to ensure that any osd connection refs to authorizers are flushed.

2012-06-20libceph: use con get/put ops from osd_clientSage Weil
There were a few direct calls to ceph_con_{get,put}() instead of the con ops from osd_client.c. This is a bug since those ops aren't defined to be ceph_con_get/put. This breaks refcounting on the ceph_osd structs that contain the ceph_connections, and could lead to all manner of strangeness. The purpose of the ->get and ->put methods in a ceph connection are to allow the connection to indicate it has a reference to something external to the messaging system, *not* to indicate something external has a reference to the connection.

2012-06-20cfg80211: fix regression in multi-vif AP startFelix Fietkau
Commit "cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function" assumes that the channel is always passed to the NL80211_CMD_START_AP command, however in case of multi-BSSID, hostapd only passes the channel for the first vif. This makes starting beaconing on secondary vifs fail with -EINVAL.

2012-06-19ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.David S. Miller
Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes. One for the route and one for the socket. But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local sockets. Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections. If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified. This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since the keys will not change. Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input route to use later. Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete and dst->ops->check(). Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have the socket locked.

2012-06-19batman-adv: fix skb->data assignmentAntonio Quartulli
skb_linearize(skb) possibly rearranges the skb internal data and then changes the skb->data pointer value. For this reason any other pointer in the code that was assigned skb->data before invoking skb_linearise(skb) must be re-assigned. In the current tt_query message handling code this is not done and therefore, in case of skb linearization, the pointer used to handle the packet header ends up in pointing to free'd memory.

type This patch modifies __nf_ct_try_assign_helper in a way that invalidates support for the following scenario: 1) attach the helper A for first time when the conntrack is created 2) attach new (different) helper B due to changes the reply tuple caused by NAT eg. port redirection from TCP/21 to TCP/5060 with both FTP and SIP helpers loaded, which seems to be a quite unorthodox scenario. I can provide a more elaborated patch to support this scenario but explicit helper attachment provides a better solution for this since now the use can attach the helpers consistently, without relying on the automatic helper lookup magic. This patch fixes a possible out of bound zeroing of the conntrack helper extension if the helper B uses more memory for its private data than helper A.
