Pull networking updates from David Miller: "More bug fixes, nothing gets past these guys" 1) More kernel info leaks found by Mathias Krause, this time in the IPSEC configuration layers. 2) When IPSEC policies change, we do not properly make sure that cached routes (which could now be stale) throughout the system will be revalidated. Fix this by generalizing the generation count invalidation scheme used by ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 3) When repairing TCP sockets, we need to allow to restore not just the send window scale, but the receive one too. Extend the existing interface to achieve this in a backwards compatible way. From Andrey Vagin. 4) A fix for FCOE scatter gather feature validation erroneously caused scatter gather to be disabled for things like AOE too. From Ed L Cashin. 5) Several cases of mishandling of error pointers, from Mathias Krause, Wei Yongjun, and Devendra Naga. 6) Fix gianfar build, from Richard Cochran. 7) CAP_NET_* failures should return -EPERM not -EACCES, from Zhao Hongjiang. 8) Hardware reset fix in janz-ican3 CAN driver, from Ira W Snyder. 9) Fix oops during rmmod in ti_hecc CAN driver, from Marc Kleine-Budde. 10) The removal of the conditional compilation of the clk support code in the stmmac driver broke things. This is because the interfaces used are the ones that don't also perform the enable/disable of the clk. Fix from Stefan Roese. 11) The QFQ packet scheduler can record out of range virtual start times, resulting later in misbehavior and even crashes. Fix from Paolo Valente. 12) If MSG_WAITALL is used with IOAT DMA under TCP, we can wedge the receiver when the advertised receive window goes to zero. Detect this case and force the processing of the IOAT DMA queue when it happens to avoid getting stuck. Fix from Michal Kubecek. 13) batman-adv assumes that test_bit() returns only 0 or 1, but this is not true for x86 (which returns -1 or 0, via the 'sbb' instruction). Fix from Linus Lussing. 14) Fix small packet corruption in e1000, from Tushar Dave. 15) make_blackhole() in the IPSEC policy code can do one read unlock too many, fix from Li RongQing. 16) The new tcp_try_coalesce() code introduced a bug in TCP URG handling, fix from Eric Dumazet. 17) Fix memory leak in __netif_receive_skb() when doing zerocopy and when hit an OOM condition. From Michael S Tsirkin. 18) netxen blindly deferences pdev->bus->self, which is not guarenteed to be non-NULL. Fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 19) Fix a performance regression caused by mistakes in ipv6 checksum validation in the bnx2x driver, fix from Michal Schmidt. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (45 commits) net/stmmac: Use clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare net: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM net/irda: sh_sir: fix return value check in sh_sir_set_baudrate() stmmac: fix return value check in stmmac_open_ext_timer() gianfar: fix phc index build failure ipv6: fix return value check in fib6_add() bnx2x: remove false warning regarding interrupt number can: ti_hecc: fix oops during rmmod can: janz-ican3: fix support for older hardware revisions net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksum aoe: assert AoE packets marked as requiring no checksum at91ether: return PTR_ERR if call to clk_get fails xfrm_user: don't copy esn replay window twice for new states xfrm_user: ensure user supplied esn replay window is valid xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_tmpl() xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_policy() xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_state() xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_auth() net: qmi_wwan: adding Huawei E367, ZTE MF683 and Pantech P4200 tcp: restore rcv_wscale in a repair mode (v2) ...

ipv6: use net->rt_genid to check dst validity

2012-09-18T19:57:03Z

IPv6 dst should take care of rt_genid too. When a xfrm policy is inserted or deleted, all dst should be invalidated. To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to DST_OBSOLETE_FORCE_CHK. This was already the case for all functions calling ip6_dst_alloc(), except for ip6_rt_copy(). As a consequence, we can remove the specific code in inet6_connection_sock. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netns: move net->ipv4.rt_genid to net->rt_genid

This commit prepares the use of rt_genid by both IPv4 and IPv6. Initialization is left in IPv4 part. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv4/route: arg delay is useless in rt_cache_flush()

Commit c76562b6709f ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock") accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an unsigned int. This changes the semantics of the comparison in the return statement. In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but "size" is a signed integer. In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway. Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly the same.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull these fixes intended for 3.6. There are more commits here than I would like -- I got a bit behind while I was stalking Steven Rostedt in San Diego last week... I'll slow it down after this! There are a couple of pulls here. One is from Johannes: "Please pull (according to the below information) to get a few fixes. * a fix to properly disconnect in the driver when authentication or association fails * a fix to prevent invalid information about mesh paths being reported to userspace * a memory leak fix in an nl80211 error path" The other comes via Gustavo: "A few updates for the 3.6 kernel. There are two btusb patches to add more supported devices through the new USB_VENDOR_AND_INTEFACE_INFO() macro and another one that add a new device id for a Sony Vaio laptop, one fix for a user-after-free and, finally, two patches from Vinicius to fix a issue in SMP pairing." Along with those... Arend van Spriel provides a fix for a use-after-free bug in brcmfmac. Daniel Drake avoids a hang by not trying to touch the libertas hardware duing suspend if it is already powered-down. Felix Fietkau provides a batch of ath9k fixes that adress some potential problems with power settings, as well as a fix to avoid a potential interrupt storm. Gertjan van Wingerde provides a register-width fix for rt2x00, and a rt2x00 fix to prevent incorrectly detecting the rfkill status. He also provides a device ID patch. Hante Meuleman gives us three brcmfmac fixes, one that properly initializes a command structure, one that fixes a race condition that could lose usb requests, and one that removes some log spam. Marc Kleine-Budde offers an rt2x00 fix for a voltage setting on some specific devices. Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan sent an ath9k fix to avoid a crash related to using timers that aren't allocated when 2 wire bluetooth coexistence hardware is in use. Sergei Poselenov changes rt2800usb to do some validity checking for received packets, avoiding crashes on an ARM Soc. Stone Piao gives us an mwifiex fix for an incorrectly set skb length value for a command buffer. All of these are localized to their specific drivers, and relatively small. The power-related patches from Felix are bigger than I would like, but I merged them in consideration of their isolation to ath9k and the sensitive nature of power settings in wireless devices. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

xfrm: Workaround incompatibility of ESN and async crypto

2012-09-04T18:09:45Z

ESN for esp is defined in RFC 4303. This RFC assumes that the sequence number counters are always up to date. However, this is not true if an async crypto algorithm is employed. If the sequence number counters are not up to date on sequence number check, we may incorrectly update the upper 32 bit of the sequence number. This leads to a DOS. We workaround this by comparing the upper sequence number, (used for authentication) with the upper sequence number computed after the async processing. We drop the packet if these numbers are different. To do this, we introduce a recheck function that does this check in the ESN case.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events

2012-08-31T13:50:28Z

Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand.

Bluetooth: Change signature of smp_conn_security()

2012-08-27T15:07:18Z

To make it clear that it may be called from contexts that may not have any knowledge of L2CAP, we change the connection parameter, to receive a hci_conn. This also makes it clear that it is checking the security of the link. Signed-off-by: Vinicius Costa Gomes Signed-off-by: Gustavo Padovan
