c078669340 sctp: Fix oops when sending queued ASCONF chunks
When we finish processing ASCONF_ACK chunk, we try to send
the next queued ASCONF.  This action runs the sctp state
machine recursively and it's not prepared to do so.

a8170c35e7 sctp: fix to calc the INIT/INIT-ACK chunk length correctly is set
When calculating the INIT/INIT-ACK chunk length, we should not
only account the length of parameters, but also the parameters
zero padding length, such as AUTH HMACS parameter and CHUNKS
parameter. Without the parameters zero padding length we may get
following oops.

561b1733a4 sctp: avoid irq lock inversion while call sk->sk_data_ready()
sk->sk_data_ready() of sctp socket can be called from both BH and non-BH
contexts, but the default sk->sk_data_ready(), sock_def_readable(), can
not be used in this case. Therefore, we have to make a new function
sctp_data_ready() to grab sk->sk_data_ready() with BH disabling.

without checking if we really get a device back. We don't in this case and
writing to dev->type generates this oops.

Commit fda48a0d7a (tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound)
introduced a bug on IPV6 part.
We should not call ipv6_addr_any(inet6_rcv_saddr(sk2)) but
ipv6_addr_any(inet6_rcv_saddr(sk)) because sk2 can be IPV4, while sk is
IPV6.

fda48a0d7a tcp: bind() fix when many ports are bound
Port autoselection done by kernel only works when number of bound
sockets is under a threshold (typically 30000).

When this threshold is over, we must check if there is a conflict before
exiting first loop in inet_csk_get_port()

Change inet_csk_bind_conflict() to forbid two reuse-enabled sockets to
bind on same (address,port) tuple (with a non ANY address)

Same change for inet6_csk_bind_conflict()

f4f914b580 net: ipv6 bind to device issue
The issue raises when having 2 NICs both assigned the same
IPv6 global address.

If a sender binds to a particular NIC (SO_BINDTODEVICE),
the outgoing traffic is being sent via the first found.
The bonded device is thus not taken into an account during the
routing.

From the ip6_route_output function:

If the binding address is multicast, linklocal or loopback,
the RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE bit is set, but not for global address.

So binding global address will neglect SO_BINDTODEVICE-binded device,
because the fib6_rule_lookup function path won't check for the
flowi::oif field and take first route that fits.

f2228f785a ipv6: allow to send packet after receiving ICMPv6 Too Big message with MTU field less than IPV6_MIN_MTU
According to RFC2460, PMTU is set to the IPv6 Minimum Link
MTU (1280) and a fragment header should always be included
after a node receiving Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU.

After receiving a ICMPv6 Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU, sctp *can't* send any
data/control chunk that total length including IPv6 head
and IPv6 extend head is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU(1280 bytes).

The failure occured in p6_fragment(), about reason
see following(take SHUTDOWN chunk for example):
sctp_packet_transmit (SHUTDOWN chunk, len=16 byte)
|------sctp_v6_xmit (local_df=0)
   |------ip6_xmit
       |------ip6_output (dst_allfrag is ture)
           |------ip6_fragment

In ip6_fragment(), for local_df=0, drops the the packet
and returns EMSGSIZE.

The patch fixes it with adding check length of skb->len.
In this case, Ipv6 not to fragment upper protocol data,
just only add a fragment header before it.

6651ffc8e8 ipv6: Fix tcp_v6_send_response transport header setting.
My recent patch to remove the open-coded checksum sequence in
tcp_v6_send_response broke it as we did not set the transport
header pointer on the new packet.

Actually, there is code there trying to set the transport
header properly, but it sets it for the wrong skb ('skb'
instead of 'buff').

This bug was introduced by commit
a8fdf2b331 ("ipv6: Fix
tcp_v6_send_response(): it didn't set skb transport header")

fe6f212ce1 mac80211: pass HT changes to driver when off channel
Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been
notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This
caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified
when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is
in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the
"oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually
the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change
(BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that
this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense.

Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled
and thus cause driver to be notified correctly.

This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel.
Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any
data, not even ping.
