56f3a40a5e [Bluetooth] Reduce L2CAP MTU for RFCOMM connections
This patch reduces the default L2CAP MTU for all RFCOMM connections
from 1024 to 1013 to improve the interoperability with some broken
RFCOMM implementations. To make this more flexible the L2CAP MTU
becomes also a module parameter and so it can changed at runtime.

27852c26ba [SCTP]: Fix 'fast retransmit' to send a TSN only once.
SCTP used to "fast retransmit" a TSN every time we hit the number
of missing reports for the TSN.  However the Implementers Guide
specifies that we should only "fast retransmit" a given TSN once.
Subsequent retransmits should be timeouts only. Also change the
number of missing reports to 3 as per the latest IG(similar to TCP).

dd5eeb461e [PATCH] ieee80211: common wx auth code
This patch creates two functions ieee80211_wx_set_auth and
ieee80211_wx_get_auth that can be used by drivers for the wireless
extension handlers instead of writing their own, if the implementation
should be software only.

These patches enable using bcm43xx devices with WPA and this seems (as
far as I can tell) to be the only difference between the stock ieee80211
and softmac's ieee80211 left.

313e7b4d25 [SCTP]: Fix machine check/connection hang on IA64.
sctp_unpack_cookie used an on-stack array called digest as a result/out
parameter in the call to crypto_hmac. However, hmac code
(crypto_hmac_final)
assumes that the 'out' argument is in virtual memory (identity mapped
region)
and can use virt_to_page call on it.  This does not work with the on-stack
declared digest.  The problems observed so far have been:
 a) incorrect hmac digest
 b) machine check and hardware reset.

Solution is to define the digest in an identity mapped region by
kmalloc'ing
it.  We can do this once as part of the endpoint structure and re-use it
when
verifying the SCTP cookie.

9834a2bb49 [SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet.
On 64 bit architectures, sctp_cookie sent as part of INIT-ACK is not
aligned on a 64 bit boundry and thus causes unaligned access exceptions.

The layout of the cookie prameter is this:
|<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA --------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures
(timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of
the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal
structures.  This patch explicitely pads the on-wire format so that
it is properly aligned.

2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

6a878184c2 [PATCH] Eliminate __attribute__ ((packed)) warnings for gcc-4.1
Since version 4.1 the gcc is warning about ignored attributes. This patch is
using the equivalent attribute on the struct instead of on each of the
structure or union members.

GCC Manual:
  "Specifying Attributes of Types

   packed
    This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies
    that
    each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
    required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the
    smallest integral type should be used.

    Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
    specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union
    members."

Use xfrm_decode_session and do the lookup manually, make sure both
only do the lookup if the packet hasn't been transformed already.

Makeing sure the lookup only happens once needs a new field in the
IP6CB, which exceeds the size of skb->cb. The size of skb->cb is

16a6677fdf [XFRM]: Netfilter IPsec output hooks
Call netfilter hooks before IPsec transforms. Packets visit the
FORWARD/LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before the first encapsulation
and the LOCAL_OUT and POST_ROUTING hook before each following tunnel mode
transform.

Patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:

Move the loop from dst_output into xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output since they're
the only ones who need to it. xfrm{4,6}_output_one() processes the first SA
all subsequent transport mode SAs and is called in a loop that calls the
netfilter hooks between each two calls.

In order to avoid the tail call issue, I've added the inline function
nf_hook which is nf_hook_slow plus the empty list check.

90ddc4f047 [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const
I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

df71837d50 [LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.
This patch series implements per packet access control via the
extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
associations to label packets.  Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
included that leverage the patch for this purpose.

This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem,
pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a
socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security
association) to send/receive network packets.

Patch purpose:

The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on
the strongly authenticated IPSec security association.  Such access
controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP
address.  The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be
spoofed.  By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote
hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.
This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application
if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to
enforce the access control policy.

Patch design approach:

The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by
user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a
security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM
subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via
security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those
policies.

A presentation available at
www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.

Patch implementation details:

On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or
xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of
the socket and the same security context is required for resultant
security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in
ipsec-tools).  This is enforced in xfrm_state_find.

On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket
(at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must
also match the security association being used.

The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec.
The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as
before.

Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is
minimal.  The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the
combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec
processing proceeds as in the original case.

Testing:

The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools.  ipsec-tools have
been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version
0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security
associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation
using the security contexts via racoon.

The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set
security contexts.  These programs are also available from me, and
contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing
this interface.  Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel
behavior.

5ab4a6c81e [IPV6] mcast: Fix multiple issues in MLDv2 reports.
The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.

1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
        all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]

2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]

3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
        a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
        b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
                not excluded
        c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report

NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
  source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
  path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
  as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, 
  relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
  machine.

4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
        The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
        list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
        short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
        with an empty list if needed.

5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
        its original value

we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window

482a8524f8 [NETLINK]: Generic netlink family
The generic netlink family builds on top of netlink and provides
simplifies access for the less demanding netlink users. It solves
the problem of protocol numbers running out by introducing a so
called controller taking care of id management and name resolving.

Generic netlink modules register themself after filling out their
id card (struct genl_family), after successful registration the
modules are able to register callbacks to command numbers by
filling out a struct genl_ops and calling genl_register_op(). The
registered callbacks are invoked with attributes parsed making
life of simple modules a lot easier.

Although generic netlink modules can request static identifiers,
it is recommended to use GENL_ID_GENERATE and to let the controller
assign a unique identifier to the module. Userspace applications
will then ask the controller and lookup the idenfier by the module
name.

Due to the current multicast implementation of netlink, the number
of generic netlink modules is restricted to 1024 to avoid wasting

82ace47a72 [NETLINK]: Generic netlink receive queue processor
Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of
a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there
was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function
for each netlink message found. The callback function may
refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting
the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will
return with a qlen != 0.

bfa83a9e03 [NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interface
Introduces a new type-safe interface for netlink message and
attributes handling. The interface is fully binary compatible
with the old interface towards userspace. Besides type safety,
this interface features attribute validation capabilities,
simplified message contstruction, and documentation.

The resulting netlink code should be smaller, less error prone
and easier to understand.

9fb9cbb108 [NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem.
The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4.  There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6.  We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.

In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.

The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here.  For example, these issues include:

1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
   ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
   in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
   messages

2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
   the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
   (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
   isn't feasible in ipv6

3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
   before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
   no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
   design

4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT

The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete.  Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.
