709e1b5cd9 bridge: message age needs to increase, not decrease.
commit bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDU
added this gem:
  bpdu.message_age = (jiffies - root->designated_age)
  p->designated_age = jiffies + bpdu->message_age;
Notice how bpdu->message_age is negated when reassigned to
bpdu.message_age. This causes message age to decrease breaking the

c0638c247f tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in tcp_mark_head_lost()
In tcp_mark_head_lost() we should not attempt to fragment a SACKed skb
to mark the first portion as lost. This is for two primary reasons:

(1) tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs. When
doing this, it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to
reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. But given that skbs can
have remainders that do not align to MSS boundaries, this packet count
preservation means that for SACKed skbs there is not necessarily a
direct linear relationship between tcp_skb_pcount(skb) and
skb->len. Thus tcp_mark_head_lost()'s previous attempts to fragment
off and mark as lost a prefix of length (packets - oldcnt)*mss from
SACKed skbs were leading to occasional failures of the WARN_ON(len >
skb->len) in tcp_fragment() (which used to be a BUG_ON(); see the
recent "crash in tcp_fragment" thread on netdev).

(2) there is no real point in fragmenting off part of a SACKed skb and
calling tcp_skb_mark_lost() on it, since tcp_skb_mark_lost() is a NOP
for SACKed skbs.

f541fb7e20 dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setup
This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake.

The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and
did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes
problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the
budding connection to be reset.

This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.

This renames the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE
TX flag to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER and also
uses it for non-bufferable MMPDUs (all MMPDUs but
deauth, disassoc and action frames.)

Previously, mac80211 would let the MMPDU through
but not set the flag so drivers supporting some
hardware aids for avoiding the PS races would
then reject the frame.

37ad38887d mac80211: make deauth/disassoc sequence more natural
The association sequence looks (roughly) like
this now:
 * set BSSID
 * set station to EXIST state
 * send auth
 * set station to AUTH state
 * send assoc
 * set station to ASSOC state
 * set BSS info to associated

In contrast, the deauth/disassoc sequence is
the other way around:
 * clear BSSID/BSS info state
 * remove station
 * send deauth/disassoc
(in some cases the last two steps are reversed.)

This patch encodes the entire sequence in the
ieee80211_set_disassoc() function and changes
it to be like this, for good measure with an
explicit flush:
 * send deauth/disassoc
 * flush
 * remove station
 * clear BSSID/BSS info state

At least iwlwifi gets confused with the other
sequence in P2P mode and complains that it
wasn't able to flush the queues.

4c90d3b303 tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skb
When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently
pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This
implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct
SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think
that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(),
leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of
reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just
1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger).

This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the
highest SACKed sequence.

Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that
tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where
skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

54e4ffb2ab mac80211: fix auth/assoc data & timer leak
When removing an interface while it is in the
process of authenticating or associating, we
leak the auth_data or assoc_data, and leave
the timer pending. The timer then crashes the
system when it fires as its data is gone.

Fix this by explicitly deleting all the data
when the interface is removed. This uncovered
another bug -- this problem should have been
detected by the sta_info_flush() warning but
that function doesn't ever return non-zero,
I'll fix that in a separate patch.

79ebfb85d4 mac80211: fix associated vs. idle race
Eliad reports that if a scan finishes in the
middle of processing associated (however it
happens), the interface can go idle. This is
because we set assoc_data to NULL before we

Doing this requires duplicating the TX sync
processing, but I already have a patch to
delete that completely and will submit that
as soon as my driver changes to no longer
require it are submitted.

25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device

   allocated by properly written netlink applications.

   In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
   GLIBC stop working.

   To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
   extended portions of the network device dump.  Sophisticaed
   applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff  will be changed
   to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
   about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
   mere presence of VFs on a network device.

   Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

0f298a285f netfilter: ctnetlink: support kernel-space dump filtering by ctmark
This patch adds CTA_MARK_MASK which, together with CTA_MARK, allows
you to selectively send conntrack entries to user-space by
returning those that match mark & mask.

With this, we can save cycles in the building and the parsing of
the entries that may be later on filtered out in user-space by using
the ctmark & mask.

7175c88307 netlink: allow to pass data pointer to netlink_dump_start() callback
This patch allows you to pass a data pointer that can be
accessed from the dump callback.

Netfilter is going to use this patch to provide filtered dumps
to user-space. This is specifically interesting in ctnetlink that
may handle lots of conntrack entries. We can save precious
cycles by skipping the conversion to TLV format of conntrack
entries that are not interesting for user-space.

More specifically, ctnetlink will include one operation to allow
to filter the dumping of conntrack entries by ctmark values.

80d326fab5 netlink: add netlink_dump_control structure for netlink_dump_start()
Davem considers that the argument list of this interface is getting
out of control. This patch tries to address this issue following
his proposal:

struct netlink_dump_control c = { .dump = dump, .done = done, ... };

netlink_dump_start(..., &c);

Suggested by David S. Miller.

b58343f9ea tipc: Eliminate support for tipc_mode global variable
Removes all references to the global variable that records whether
TIPC is running in "single node" mode or "network" mode, since this
information can be easily deduced from the global variable that
records TIPC's network address. (i.e. a non-zero network address
means that TIPC is running in network mode.)

The changes made update most existing mode-based checks to use the
network address global variable. A few checks that are no longer
needed are removed entirely, along with any associated code lying on
non-executable control paths.

077a26f029 tipc: Eliminate obsolete support for "not running" mode
Removes all references to TIPC's "not running" mode, since the
removal of support for the native API means that there is no longer
any way to interact with TIPC if it has not been initialized.

The changes made consist of removing mode-based checks that are no
longer needed, along with any associated code lying on non-executable
control paths.

bc9f8143ec tipc: Revert name table translation optimization
Restores name table translation using a non-zero domain that is
"out of scope", which was broken by an earlier commit
(5d9c54c1e9). Comments have now been
added to the name table translation routine to make it clear that
there are actually three possible outcomes to a translation request
(found/not found/deferred), rather than just two (found/not found).

Note that a straightforward revert of the earlier commit is not
possible, as other changes to the name table translation logic
have occurred since the incorrect optimization was made.

75aba9af24 tipc: Minor optimization to broadcast link synchronization logic
Optimizes processing done when contact with a neighboring node is
established to avoid recording the current state of outgoing broadcast
messages if the neighboring node isn't a valid broadcast link destination,
since this state information isn't needed for such nodes.
