By rounding up the buffer size to power of 2, several expensive
modulus operations can be avoided. This patch also solves a bug where
the gap need when ring gets full was not being accounted for.

GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new
dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net.
Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns.
This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste
(AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns.
Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering
XFRM policies.

Hey all-
I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module. The bug halt occured because the page
that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
implementation of kfree. I tracked the problem down to the following set of
events:
1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
dynamically when registering a slab cache. This allocated string is freed when
the cache is destroyed.
2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
caches are 'merged'. This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
configuration to use the same cache data structure. When this happens, the new
name of the cache is effectively dropped.
3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
returned.
4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
section.
So, what to do about this. At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug. Unfortunately, theres no
really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
to the generic slab interface. Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
only in slub, but in every slab allocator. As such, I'd like to propose this
solution. Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
ccid_operations structure. In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
other calls to kmem_cache_create do.
I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

While testing the pid rate controller in mac80211_hwsim, I noticed
that once the controller reached 54 Mbit rates, it would fail to
lower the rate when necessary. The debug log shows:
1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50
My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target
error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to
a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of
(14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or
3534.
Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction.

ieee80211_set_power_mgmt is meant for STA interfaces only. Moreover,
since sdata->u.mgd.mtx is only initialized for STA interfaces, using
this code for any other type of interface (like creating a monitor
interface) will result in a oops.

This was just recently reported to me. When built as modules, the
dccp_probe module has a silent dependency on the dccp module. This
stems from the fact that the module_init routine of dccp_probe
registers a jprobe on the dccp_sendmsg symbol. Since the symbol is
only referenced as a text string (the .symbol_name field in the jprobe
struct) rather than the address of the symbol itself, depmod never
picks this dependency up, and so if you load the dccp_probe module
without the dccp module loaded, the register_jprobe call fails with an
-EINVAL, and the whole module load fails.
The fix is pretty easy, we can just wrap the register_jprobe call in a
try_then_request_module call, which forces the dependency to get
satisfied prior to the probe registration.

Patch fixes the bug at
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2139
Currently we cannot set the channel using wext extension
if we have already associated and disconnected. As
cfg80211_mgd_wext_siwfreq will not switch the channel if ssid is set.
This fixes it by clearing the ssid.
Following is the sequence which it tries to fix.
modprobe iwlagn
iwconfig wlan0 essid ""
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 chan X
wext is marked as deprecate.If we use nl80211 we can easily play with
setting the channel.

This fixes CERT-FI FICORA #341748
Discovered by Olli Jarva and Tuomo Untinen from the CROSS
project at Codenomicon Ltd.
Just like in CVE-2007-4567, we can't rely upon skb_dst() being
non-NULL at this point. We fixed that in commit
e76b2b2567 ("[IPV6]: Do no rely on
skb->dst before it is assigned.")
However commit 483a47d2fe ("ipv6: added
net argument to IP6_INC_STATS_BH") put a new version of the same bug
into this function.
Complicating analysis further, this bug can only trigger when network
namespaces are enabled in the build. When namespaces are turned off,
the dev_net() does not evaluate it's argument, so the dereference
would not occur.
So, for a long time, namespaces couldn't be turned on unless SYSFS was
disabled. Therefore, this code has largely been disabled except by
people turning it on explicitly for namespace development.

When ieee80211_monitor_select_queue encounters data frames, it selects
the WMM AC based on skb->priority and assumes that skb->priority
contains a valid 802.1d tag. However this assumption is incorrect, since
ieee80211_select_queue has not been called at this point.
If skb->priority > 7, an array overrun occurs, which could lead to
invalid values, resulting in crashes in the tx path.
Fix this by setting skb->priority based on the 802.11 header for QoS
frames and using the default AC for all non-QoS frames.
