c49b9f295e tproxy: fixe a possible read from an invalid location in the socket match
TIME_WAIT sockets need to be handled specially, and the socket match
casted inet_timewait_sock instances to inet_sock, which are not
compatible.

Handle this special case by checking sk->sk_state.

5cf12e8dc6 mac80211: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr()
After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of
compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing
unaligned access:

  Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211]

As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating
from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to
assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take
preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the
easy fix of changing the call to memcmp().

My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are
a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing
mac address comparisons throughout the module.

a6af2d6ba5 tcp: tcp_vegas ssthresh bug fix
This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c.  At the moment this code leaves
ssthresh untouched.  However, this means that the vegas congestion
control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the
ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh,
then slow start is activated to raise it back up).  One example where
this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link
capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value
above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

f8269a495a tcp: make urg+gso work for real this time
I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution
to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig
patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet
counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount
of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would
restore the window again.

Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is
urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code
from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could
be that something was changed down the road, or it might have
been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once
urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from
~64k before the urg point.

The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so
only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have
a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check
can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc
already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

d253eee201 can: Fix CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG handling in can_filter
Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter
for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the
same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also.

This fix has a minimum (but user visible) impact on the CAN filter
API and therefore the CAN version is set to a new date.

Indeed the 'old' API is still working as-is. But when now setting
CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG in can_filter.can_mask you might get less traffic
than before - but still the stuff that you expected to get for your
defined filter ...

Thanks to Kurt Van Dijck for pointing at this issue and for the review.

d5654efd3f xfrm: Fix kernel panic when flush and dump SPD entries
After flush the SPD entries, dump the SPD entries will cause kernel painc.

Used the following commands to reproduct:

- echo 'spdflush;' | setkey -c
- echo 'spdadd 3ffe:501:ffff:ff01::/64 3ffe:501:ffff:ff04::/64  any -P out ipsec \
  ah/tunnel/3ffe:501:ffff:ff00:200:ff:fe00:b0b0-3ffe:501:ffff:ff02:200:ff:fe00:a1a1/require;\

  spddump;' | setkey -c

This is because when flush the SPD entries, the SPD entry is not remove
from the list.

This patch fix the problem by remove the SPD entry from the list.

5f23b73496 net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collector
This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201

It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
wait_event_interruptible().

Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.

244f46ae6e rose: zero length frame filtering in af_rose.c
Since changeset e79ad711a0 from  mainline,
>From David S. Miller,
empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols.

However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram.

Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol.
Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment,
ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket.
When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding,
for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else.
We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are
willing to debug it.
But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol,
we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data.

The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel.

As GRE tries to call the update_pmtu function on skb->dst and
bridge supplies an skb->dst that has a NULL ops field, all is

This patch fixes this by giving the bridge device an ops field

other fields blank but we can fill them in later should the
need arise.

Conntrack creation through ctnetlink has two races:

- the timer may expire and free the conntrack concurrently, causing an
  invalid memory access when attempting to put it in the hash tables

- an identical conntrack entry may be created in the packet processing
  path in the time between the lookup and hash insertion

Hold the conntrack lock between the lookup and insertion to avoid this.
