1194ed0a3e [NETLINK]: Infinite recursion in netlink.
Reply to NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP messages were misrouted back to kernel,
which resulted in infinite recursion and stack overflow.

The bug is present in all kernel versions since the feature appeared.

The patch also makes some minimal cleanup:

1. Return something consistent (-ENOENT) when fib table is missing
2. Do not crash when queue is empty (does not happen, but yet)
3. Put result of lookup

05d224468a [XFRM]: beet: fix pseudo header length value
draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-07.txt is not entirely clear on how the length
value of the pseudo header should be calculated, it states "The Header Length
field contains the length of the pseudo header, IPv4 options, and padding in
8 octets units.", but also states "Length in octets (Header Len + 1) * 8".
draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-08-pre1.txt [1] clarifies this, the header length
should not include the first 8 byte.

This change affects backwards compatibility, but option encapsulation didn't
work until very recently anyway.

Change to defer congestion control initialization.

If setsockopt() was used to change TCP_CONGESTION before

to keep track of one RTT interval (vegas, illinois, ...) get confused.

Change the init hook to be called after handshake.

241c39b9ac RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4
Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4
requests over TCP"

The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition
	"req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list"
should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false.
Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full
at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit().
Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies
that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to
be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has
already occurred.

Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler.

ac57b3a9ce [NETLINK]: Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socket
There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release()
that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero
callback is freed.

Here it is:

CPU1:                           CPU2
netlink_release():              netlink_dump_start():

                                sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */

netlink_remove();

spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
  ...
}
spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);

                                spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
                                         ...
                                }
                                nlk->cb = cb;
                                spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                ...
sock_orphan(sk);
/*
 * proceed with releasing
 * the socket
 */

The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback
in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in
netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.

bfb6709d0b [IrDA]: Correctly handling socket error
This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that
when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns
without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep
queue. This causes havoc further down the road.

In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on
the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix,
as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg
(and other places) to oops.

This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable
inclusion.

d0cf0d9940 [SCTP]: Do not interleave non-fragments when in partial delivery
The way partial delivery is currently implemnted, it is possible to
intereleave a message (either from another steram, or unordered) that
is not part of partial delivery process.  The only way to this is for
a message to not be a fragment and be 'in order' or unorderd for a
given stream.  This will result in bypassing the reassembly/ordering
queues where things live duing partial delivery, and the
message will be delivered to the socket in the middle of partial delivery.

This is a two-fold problem, in that:
1.  the app now must check the stream-id and flags which it may not
be doing.
2.  this clearing partial delivery state from the association and results
in ulp hanging.

This patch is a band-aid over a much bigger problem in that we
don't do stream interleave.

sk_info_authunix is not being protected properly so the object that it

We borrow svsk->sk_defer_lock to provide the protection.  We should
probably rename that lock to have a more generic name - later.

c2ecba7171 [NET]: Set a separate lockdep class for neighbour table's proxy_queue
Otherwise the following calltrace will lead to a wrong
lockdep warning:

  neigh_proxy_process()
    `- lock(neigh_table->proxy_queue.lock);
  arp_redo /* via tbl->proxy_redo */
  arp_process
  neigh_event_ns
  neigh_update
  skb_queue_purge
    `- lock(neighbor->arp_queue.lock);

This is not a deadlock actually, as neighbor table's proxy_queue
and the neighbor's arp_queue are different queues.

Lockdep thinks there is a deadlock as both queues are initialized
with skb_queue_head_init() and thus have a common class.

netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be 
corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the 
VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff 
structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly 
connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the 
'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these

32 but our bit mask can only accomodate 32 packets.  Thus any packet
with a sequence number within the window but outside the bit mask would
be accepted.

This patch causes those packets to be rejected instead.

75559c167b [APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crash
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.

This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:

<Appletalk Killer>
{
# Ethernet header -----

  XX XX XX XX XX XX  # Destination MAC
  00 00 00 00 00 00  # Source MAC
  00 1D              # Length

# LLC header -----

  AA AA 03
  08 00 07 80 9B  # Appletalk

# Appletalk header -----

  00 1B        # Packet length (invalid)
  00 01        # Fake checksum 
  00 00 00 00  # Destination and source networks
  00 00 00 00  # Destination and source nodes and ports

# Payload -----

  0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13
  14
}

The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.

The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
  suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
  local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
  to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.

The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.

This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.

Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

The return value of kernel_recvmsg() should be assigned to "err", not

927498217c [PATCH] net: Ignore sysfs network device rename bugs.
The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices
have the same name, so  there is no time except when sysfs has
implementation bugs that device_rename when called from
dev_change_name will fail.

The current error handling for errors from device_rename in
dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable
network device if device_rename is happens to return an error.

This patch removes the buggy error handling.  Which confines the mess
when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it
the rest of the network stack.  Making linux a little more robust.

Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug
when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename
a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device,
modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class,  driver, irq,
msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus,
numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor)

Greg has a patch that fixes the sysfs bugs but he doesn't trust it
for a 2.6.21 timeframe.  This patch which just ignores errors should
be safe and it keeps the system from going completely wacky.

Dave, we use "int" for returning value,
so we should fix this anyway, IMHO;
we should not allow len > INT_MAX.

the case where a rule or route resulting in -ENETUNREACH

It fixes a bug where if DECnet was compiled with routing
support, but no routes were added to the routing table,
it was failing to fall back to endnode routing.

cb3fecc2f2 [PATCH] bluetooth hid quirks: mightymouse quirk
I have a bugreport that scrollwheel of bluetooth version of apple
mightymouse doesn't work.  The USB version of mightymouse works, as there
is a quirk for handling scrollwheel in hid/usbhid for it.

Now that bluetooth git tree is hooked to generic hid layer, it could easily
use the quirks which are already present in generic hid parser, hid-input,
etc.

Below is a simple patch against bluetooth git tree, which adds quirk
handling to current bluetooth hidp code, and sets quirk flags for device
0x05ac/0x030c, which is the bluetooth version of the apple mightymouse.
