5b423f6a40 netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable events
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.

acbb219d5f net: ipv4: ipmr_expire_timer causes crash when removing net namespace
When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed
without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in
run_timer_softirq.
This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6.
Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate.
We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that
no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic.
The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other
race conditions to be created.
Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive.
Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in
del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock
or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

Tested in Linux 3.4.8.

6549dd43c0 net: dev: fix the incorrect hold of net namespace's lo device
When moving a net device from one net namespace to another
net namespace,dev_change_net_namespace calls NETDEV_DOWN
event,so the original net namespace's dst entries which
beloned to this net device will be put into dst_garbage
list.

then dev_change_net_namespace will set this net device's
net to the new net namespace.

If we unregister this net device's driver, this will trigger
the NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event, dst_ifdown will be called,
and get this net device's dst entries from dst_garbage list,
put these entries' dev to the new net namespace's lo device.

It's not what we want,actually we need these dst entries hold
the original net namespace's lo device,this incorrect device
holding will trigger emg message like below.
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

so we should call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event in
dev_change_net_namespace too,in order to make sure dst entries
already in the dst_garbage list, we need rcu_barrier before we
call NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL event.

2b60af0178 netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: fix tracking of ICMPv6 error messages containing fragments
ICMPv6 error messages are tracked by extracting the conntrack tuple of
the inner packet and looking up the corresponding conntrack entry. Tuple
extraction uses the ->get_l4proto() callback, which in case of fragments
returns NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT instead of the upper protocol, even for the
first fragment when the entire next header is present, resulting in a
failure to find the correct connection tracking entry.

This patch changes ipv6_get_l4proto() to use ipv6_skip_exthdr() instead
of nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() in order to skip fragment headers when the
fragment offset is zero.

4cdd34084d netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: improve fragmentation handling
The IPv6 conntrack fragmentation currently has a couple of shortcomings.
Fragmentes are collected in PREROUTING/OUTPUT, are defragmented, the
defragmented packet is then passed to conntrack, the resulting conntrack
information is attached to each original fragment and the fragments then
continue their way through the stack.

Helper invocation occurs in the POSTROUTING hook, at which point only
the original fragments are available. The result of this is that
fragmented packets are never passed to helpers.

This patch improves the situation in the following way:

- If a reassembled packet belongs to a connection that has a helper
  assigned, the reassembled packet is passed through the stack instead
  of the original fragments.

- During defragmentation, the largest received fragment size is stored.
  On output, the packet is refragmented if required. If the largest
  received fragment size exceeds the outgoing MTU, a "packet too big"
  message is generated, thus behaving as if the original fragments
  were passed through the stack from an outside point of view.

- The ipv6_helper() hook function can't receive fragments anymore for
  connections using a helper, so it is switched to use ipv6_skip_exthdr()
  instead of the netfilter specific nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() and the
  reassembled packets are passed to connection tracking helpers.

The result of this is that we can properly track fragmented packets, but
still generate ICMPv6 Packet too big messages if we would have before.

This patch is also required as a precondition for IPv6 NAT, where NAT
helpers might enlarge packets up to a point that they require
fragmentation. In that case we can't generate Packet too big messages
since the proper MTU can't be calculated in all cases (f.i. when
changing textual representation of a variable amount of addresses),
so the packet is transparently fragmented iff the original packet or
fragments would have fit the outgoing MTU.

590e3f79a2 ipvs: IPv6 MTU checking cleanup and bugfix
Cleaning up the IPv6 MTU checking in the IPVS xmit code, by using
a common helper function __mtu_check_toobig_v6().

The MTU check for tunnel mode can also use this helper as
ntohs(old_iph->payload_len) + sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) is qual to
skb->len.  And the 'mtu' variable have been adjusted before
calling helper.

Notice, this also fixes a bug, as the the MTU check in ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6()
were missing a check for skb_is_gso().

This bug e.g. caused issues for KVM IPVS setups, where different
Segmentation Offloading techniques are utilized, between guests,
via the virtio driver.  This resulted in very bad performance,
due to the ICMPv6 "too big" messages didn't affect the sender.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=134563282530588&w=2

So it is safe to fix be2net driver code directly.

This patch reverts the offending commit and fixes be_poll() by
avoid disabling BH there, this is okay because be_poll()
can be called either by poll_napi() which already disables
IRQ, or by net_rx_action() which already disables BH.

5f2d04f1f9 ipv4: fix path MTU discovery with connection tracking
IPv4 conntrack defragments incoming packet at the PRE_ROUTING hook and
(in case of forwarded packets) refragments them at POST_ROUTING
independent of the IP_DF flag. Refragmentation uses the dst_mtu() of
the local route without caring about the original fragment sizes,
thereby breaking PMTUD.

This patch fixes this by keeping track of the largest received fragment
with IP_DF set and generates an ICMP fragmentation required error during

John W. Linville says:

====================
This batch of fixes is intended for 3.6...

Johannes Berg gives us a pair of iwlwifi fixes.  One corrects some
improperly defined ifdefs that lead to crashes and BUG_ONs.  The other
prevents attempts to read SRAM for devices that aren't actually started.

Julia Lawall provides an ipw2100 fix to properly set the return code
from a function call before testing it! :-)

Thomas Huehn corrects the improper use of a constant related to a power
setting in ath5k.

Thomas Pedersen offers a mac80211 fix to properly handle destination
addresses of unicast frames passing though a mesh gate.

Vladimir Zapolskiy provides a brcmsmac fix to properly mark the
interface state when the device goes down.

7c4a56fec3 tcp: fix cwnd reduction for non-sack recovery
The cwnd reduction in fast recovery is based on the number of packets
newly delivered per ACK. For non-sack connections every DUPACK
signifies a packet has been delivered, but the sender mistakenly
skips counting them for cwnd reduction.

The fix is to compute newly_acked_sacked after DUPACKs are accounted
in sacked_out for non-sack connections.

20e1db19db netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processes
Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other
processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink
asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root
process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers.

The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in
two ways:

a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from
   some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped.

b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin
   of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any
   message not coming from the kernel.

However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has
been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility.
So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd,
know that the event was triggered by some user-space action.

Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming
from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink.

This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set
in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing
applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between
two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is
NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink
userspace communication.

Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink
userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default,
I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to
communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information
that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using
NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that.

8f4cccbbd9 net: Set device operstate at registration time
The operstate of a device is initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN and is updated
asynchronously by linkwatch after each change of carrier state
reported by the driver.  The default carrier state of a net device is
on, and this will never be changed on drivers that do not support
carrier detection, thus the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN.

For devices that do support carrier detection, the driver must set the
carrier state to off initially, then poll the hardware state when the
device is opened.  However, we must not activate linkwatch for a
unregistered device, and commit b473001 ('net: Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered.') ensured that we don't.  But
this means that the operstate for many devices that support carrier
detection remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN when it should be IF_OPER_DOWN.

The same issue exists with the dormant state.

The proper initialisation sequence, avoiding a race with opening of
the device, is:

        rtnl_lock();
        rc = register_netdevice(dev);
        if (rc)
                goto out_unlock;
        netif_carrier_off(dev); /* or netif_dormant_on(dev) */
        rtnl_unlock();

but it seems silly that this should have to be repeated in so many
drivers.  Further, the operstate seen immediately after opening the
device may still be IF_OPER_UNKNOWN due to the asynchronous nature of
linkwatch.

Commit 22604c8 ('net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28') attempted
to fix this by setting the operstate synchronously, but it was
reverted as it could lead to deadlock.

This initialises the operstate synchronously at registration time
only.

3afa6d00fb cls_cgroup: Allow classifier cgroups to have their classid reset to 0
The network classifier cgroup initalizes each cgroups instance classid value to
0.  However, the sock_update_classid function only updates classid's in sockets
if the tasks cgroup classid is not zero, and if it differs from the current
classid.  The later check is to prevent cache line dirtying, but the former is
detrimental, as it prevents resetting a classid for a cgroup to 0.  While this
is not a common action, it has administrative usefulness (if the admin wants to
disable classification of a certain group temporarily for instance).

Easy fix, just remove the zero check.  Tested successfully by myself
