When PPPOE is running over a virtual ethernet interface (e.g., a
bonding interface) and the user tries to delete the interface in case
the PPPOE state is ZOMBIE, the kernel will loop forever while
unregistering net_device for the reference count is not decreased to
zero which should have been done with dev_put().

Currently the driver has no MODULE_LICENSE attribute in its source which
results in a kernel taint if I load this:

root@(none):~# modprobe bcm87xx
bcm87xx: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.

Since the first lines of the source code clearly state:
 * This file is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General
 * Public License.  See the file "COPYING" in the main directory of this
 * archive for more details.
I think it's safe to add the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") macro and thus remove
the kernel taint.

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.

This patch fixes an issue introduced by commit ID 6a81c26f
[net/stmmac: remove conditional compilation of clk code], which
switched from the internal stmmac_clk_{en}{dis}able calls to
clk_{en}{dis}able. By this, calling clk_prepare and clk_unprepare
was removed.

clk_{un}prepare is mandatory for platforms using common clock framework.
Since these drivers are used by SPEAr platform, which supports common
clock framework, add clk_{un}prepare() support for them. Otherwise
the clocks are not correctly en-/disabled and ethernet support doesn't
work.

The format_array_alloc() function is fundamentally racy, in that it
prints the array twice: once to figure out how much space to allocate
for the buffer, and the second time to actually print out the data.

If any of the array contents changes in between, the allocation size may
be wrong, and the end result may be truncated in odd ways.

Just don't do it.  Allocate a maximum-sized array up-front, and just
format the array contents once.  The only user of the u32_array
interfaces is the Xen spinlock statistics code, and it has 31 entries in
the arrays, so the maximum size really isn't that big, and the end
result is much simpler code without the bug.

u32_array_open() is racy when multiple threads read from a file with a
seek position of zero, i.e. when two or more simultaneous reads are
occurring after the non-seekable files are created.  It is possible that
file->private_data is double-freed because the threads races between

	kfree(file->private-data);

and

	file->private_data = NULL;

The fix is to only do format_array_alloc() when the file is opened and
free it when it is closed.

Note that because the file has always been non-seekable, you can't open
it and read it multiple times anyway, so the data has always been
generated just once.  The difference is that now it is generated at open
time rather than at the time of the first read, and that avoids the
race.

The Revision 1.0 Janz CMOD-IO Carrier Board does not have support for
the reset registers. To support older hardware, the code is changed to
use the hardware reset register on the Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware itself.

This fixes the gpio reset problem so the Retina MBP works, but avoids
breaking the Dell systems. Ben will work on a better solution for 3.7.

Tested by me on retina MBP.

A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have
inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of
network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA
over Ethernet (AoE).  Below is a reference to the commit that
introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter
gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the
ethernet protocol of an sk buff.

      net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().

The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a
protocol that does not require checksumming.  Calling it for a
protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate.

The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when
the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced
to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE
packets.  Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance
and increased memory pressure, as reported here:

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html

The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because
only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the
ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset
recently included in the mm tree:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140

The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of
greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the
newest kernels.

In order for the network layer to see that AoE requires
no checksumming in a generic way, the packets must be
marked as requiring no checksum, so we make this requirement
explicit with the assertion.

we are currently returning ENODEV, as the clk_get may give a exact
error code in its returned pointer, assign it to the ret by using the
PTR_ERR function, so that the subsequent goto label will jump to the
error path and clean the driver and return the error correctly.

The ESN replay window was already fully initialized in
xfrm_alloc_replay_state_esn(). No need to copy it again.

The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually
contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new
state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the
whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the
replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL
netlink attribute. This leads to following issues:

1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling
   code later on.

2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap
   memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires
   CAP_NET_ADMIN).

Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's
iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter
uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not.
strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1.

To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the
XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a
fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel
bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For
state updates the full bitmap must be supplied.

To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size
of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum
replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real
life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).

The memory used for the template copy is a local stack variable. As
struct xfrm_user_tmpl contains multiple holes added by the compiler for
alignment, not initializing the memory will lead to leaking stack bytes
to userland. Add an explicit memset(0) to avoid the info leak.
