Since commit 3d7b46cd (ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module.), an Oops is triggered when an xfrm policy is configured on an IPv4 over IPv4 tunnel. xfrm4_policy_check() calls __xfrm_policy_check2(), which uses skb_dst(skb). But this field is NULL because iptunnel_pull_header() calls skb_dst_drop(skb).

Should a connect fail, if the publication/server is unavailable or due to some other error, a positive value will be returned and errno is never set. If the application code checks for an explicit zero return from connect (success) or a negative return (failure), it will not catch the error and subsequent send() calls will fail as shown from the strace snippet below. socket(0x1e /* PF_??? */, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=0x1e /* AF_??? */, sa_data="\2\1\322\4\0\0\322\4\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16) = 111 sendto(3, "test", 4, 0, NULL, 0) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe) The reason for this behaviour is that TIPC wrongly inverts error codes set in sk_err.

In commit 90ba9b19 (tcp: tcp_make_synack() can use alloc_skb()), Eric changed the call to sock_wmalloc in tcp_make_synack to alloc_skb. In doing so, the netfilter owner match lost its ability to block the SYNACK packet on outbound listening sockets. Revert the change, restoring the owner match functionality. This closes netfilter bugzilla #847. Signed-off-by: Phil Oester <kernel@linuxace.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently we would still potentially suffer multicast packet loss if there is just either an IGMP or an MLD querier: For the former case, we would possibly drop IPv6 multicast packets, for the latter IPv4 ones. This is because we are currently assuming that if either an IGMP or MLD querier is present that the other one is present, too. This patch makes the behaviour and fix added in "bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af) to also work if there is either just an IGMP or an MLD querier on the link: It refines the deactivation of the snooping to be protocol specific by using separate timers for the snooped IGMP and MLD queries as well as separate timers for our internal IGMP and MLD queriers.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== This pull request fixes some issues that arise when 6in4 or 4in6 tunnels are used in combination with IPsec, all from Hannes Frederic Sowa and a null pointer dereference when queueing packets to the policy hold queue. 1) We might access the local error handler of the wrong address family if 6in4 or 4in6 tunnel is protected by ipsec. Fix this by addind a pointer to the correct local_error to xfrm_state_afinet. 2) Add a helper function to always refer to the correct interpretation of skb->sk. 3) Call skb_reset_inner_headers to record the position of the inner headers when adding a new one in various ipv6 tunnels. This is needed to identify the addresses where to send back errors in the xfrm layer. 4) Dereference inner ipv6 header if encapsulated to always call the right error handler. 5) Choose protocol family by skb protocol to not call the wrong xfrm{4,6}_local_error handler in case an ipv6 sockets is used in ipv4 mode. 6) Partly revert "xfrm: introduce helper for safe determination of mtu" because this introduced pmtu discovery problems. 7) Set skb->protocol on tcp, raw and ip6_append_data genereated skbs. We need this to get the correct mtu informations in xfrm. 8) Fix null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space. If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets. The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited, simply use alloc_skb() and don't depend on any socket wmem space any longer. This patch has orginally been posted by Eric Dumazet in a modified form.

ipv4: raw_sendmsg: don't use header's destination address A sendto() regression was bisected and found to start with commit f8126f1d (ipv4: Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway.) The problem is that it tries to ARP-lookup the constructed packet's destination address rather than the explicitly provided address.

The zero value means that tsecr is not valid, so it's a special case. tsoffset is used to customize tcp_time_stamp for one socket. tsoffset is usually zero, it's used when a socket was moved from one host to another host. Currently this issue affects logic of tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts. Due to incorrect value of rcv_tsecr, tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts sets rto to TCP_RTO_MAX.

This patch adds another entry (HP hs2434 Mobile Broadband) to the list of exceptional devices that require a zero length packet in order to function properly. This list was added in commit 844e88f0. The hs2434 is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, who also produces the MC7710, which the ZLP exception list was created for in the first place. So hopefully it is just this one producer's devices that will need this workaround. Tested on a DM1-4310NR HP notebook, which does not function without this change.

For subsequent dump, only nlk->cb_lock was taken. Following patch fixes it by defining locked dumpit() and done() callback which takes care of genl-locking.

The net_device might be not set on the skb when we try refcounting. This leads to a null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output(). It turned out that the refcount to the net_device is not needed after all. The dst_entry has a refcount to the net_device before we queue the skb, so it can't go away. Therefore we can remove the refcount on queueing to fix the null pointer dereference. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>

If driver will fail to allocate all queues, it will shrink the number of queues and move the storage queue to its correct place (i.e., the last queue among the newly supported number). When changing the pointers of the new location of the FCoE queue, we need to pay special attention to the aggregations pointer - that memory is allocated during probe and released upon driver removal. Current implementation has 2 pointers pointing to the same chunk of allocated memory, meaning upon removal there will be two kfree() of the same chunk while the other won't be released.

Currently we don't initialize skb->protocol when transmitting data via tcp, raw(with and without inclhdr) or udp+ufo or appending data directly to the socket transmit queue (via ip6_append_data). This needs to be done so that we can get the correct mtu in the xfrm layer. Setting of skb->protocol happens only in functions where we also have a transmitting socket and a new skb, so we don't overwrite old values.

Being a low-level component, various drivers (e.g. olpc-battery) assume that it is ok to communicate with the OLPC Embedded Controller during probe. Therefore the OLPC EC driver must be initialised before other drivers try to use it. This was the case until it was recently moved out of arch/x86 and restructured around commits ac250415 ("Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver") and 85f90cf6 ("x86: OLPC: switch over to using new EC driver on x86"). Use arch_initcall so that olpc-ec is readied earlier, matching the previous behaviour. Fixes a regression introduced in Linux-3.6 where various drivers such as olpc-battery and olpc-xo1-sci failed to load due to an inability to communicate with the EC. The user-visible effect was a lack of battery monitoring, missing ebook/lid switch input devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Cc: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net> Cc: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
