It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.
I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).
This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

these locks are mainly used in softirq context, so disabling BHs is
necessary.

In xt_connlimit match module, the counter of an IP is decreased when
the TCP packet is go through the chain with ip_conntrack state TW.
Well, it's very natural that the server and client close the socket
with FIN packet. But when the client/server close the socket with RST
packet(using so_linger), the counter for this connection still exsit.
The following patch can fix it which is based on linux-2.6.25.4

The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
real system HZ value which is problematic. Linux has standardized on
keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
internally at some other value.
This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
iproute2 utilities. But these utilities are already broken since they
are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
utilities will just print wrong values.

There is only one function in AX25 calling skb_append(), and it really
looks suspicious: appends skb after previously enqueued one, but in
the meantime this previous skb could be removed from the queue.
This patch Fixes it the simple way, so this is not fully compatible with
the current method, but testing hasn't shown any problems.

There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close:
rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
d->state = BT_CLOSED;
d->state_changed(d, err);
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to
take the dlc lock, then we will deadlock.
Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in
rfcomm_dev_state_change.
why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's
another problem. rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take
rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add the lock order is :
rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock
so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock.
Actually it's a regression caused by commit
1905f6c736 ("bluetooth :
__rfcomm_dlc_close lock fix"), the dlc state_change could be two
callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change. I
missed the rfcomm_sk_state_change that time.
Thanks Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for the effort in
commit 4c8411f8c1 ("bluetooth: fix
locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handling") but he missed the
rfcomm_dev_state_change lock issue.

llc_sap_rcv was being preceded by skb_set_owner_r, then calling
llc_state_process that calls sock_queue_rcv_skb, that in turn calls
skb_set_owner_r again making the space allowed to be used by the socket to be
leaked, making the socket to get stuck.
Fix it by setting skb->sk at llc_sap_rcv and leave the accounting to be done
only at sock_queue_rcv_skb.

in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the
following operation:
if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) {
/* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise
* rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
rfcomm_sock_kill(sk);
rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
}
}
which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call
rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good.
HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets
called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one
case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock
followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't
going anywhere fast.
This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like
the other usages of the same call are doing in this code.
This was found with the help of the www.kerneloops.org project, where this
deadlock was observed 51 times at this point in time:

This addresses an alignment issue with compare_ether_addr().
The addresses passed to compare_ether_addr should be two bytes aligned.
It may function properly in x86 platform. However may not work properly
on IA-64 or ARM processor.
This also fixes a typo in mlme.c where the sk_buff struct name is incorect.
Though sizeof() works for any incorrect structure pointer name as its just
a pointer length that we want, lets just fix it.

This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get().
TID and sta_info are extracted in ADDBA Timer expiry function
through the timer handler's argument.
The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in
timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which
may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results
in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers.
ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in
sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local
pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in
stat_info_get().
The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8
instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires
some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming
patches.
