That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may
return a non-zero value on error.
In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no
security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative
value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L'
outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the
aforementioned function fails.
This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation
if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is
also wrong.
This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.

ipv4: IP defragmentation must be ECN aware
RFC3168 (The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP)
states :
5.3. Fragmentation
ECN-capable packets MAY have the DF (Don't Fragment) bit set.
Reassembly of a fragmented packet MUST NOT lose indications of
congestion. In other words, if any fragment of an IP packet to be
reassembled has the CE codepoint set, then one of two actions MUST be
taken:
* Set the CE codepoint on the reassembled packet. However, this
MUST NOT occur if any of the other fragments contributing to
this reassembly carries the Not-ECT codepoint.
* The packet is dropped, instead of being reassembled, for any
other reason.
This patch implements this requirement for IPv4, choosing the first
action :
If one fragment had NO-ECT codepoint
reassembled frame has NO-ECT
ElIf one fragment had CE codepoint
reassembled frame has CE

net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()
Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.
He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0233 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.
Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.
Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.
Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test

net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem
commit 57dbb2d83d100ea (sched: add head drop fifo queue)
introduced pfifo_head_drop, and broke the invariant that
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are COUNTER (increasing
counters only)
This can break estimators because est_timer() handles unsigned deltas
only. A decreasing counter can then give a huge unsigned delta.
My mid term suggestion would be to change things so that
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are incremented in dequeue()
only, not at enqueue() time. We also could add drop_bytes/drop_packets
and provide estimations of drop rates.
It would be more sensible anyway for very low speeds, and big bursts.
Right now, if we drop packets, they still are accounted in byte/packets
abolute counters and rate estimators.
Before this mid term change, this patch makes pfifo_head_drop behavior
similar to other qdiscs in case of drops :
Dont decrement sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets

Yes, why not, I am only wondering why loopback / dummy (and others ?)
only set NETIF_F_TSO :)
Since I want to play with ECN, I might also add NETIF_F_TSO_ECN ;)
For other flags, I really doubt it can matter on ifb ?
IFB can use the full set of features flags (NETIF_F_SG |
NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) to
avoid unnecessary split of some packets (GRO for example)
Changli suggested to also set vlan_features, NETIF_F_TSO6,
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.
Jarek suggested to add NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX as well.

This seems fine itself, but br_send_bpdu() invokes ebtables LOCAL_OUT.
We oops in ebt_basic_match() because it assumes eth_hdr(skb) returns
a meaningful result.

netdev: Update status of 8390 based drivers in MAINTAINERS
With the original 8 bit ISA ne1000 card being over 20 years old, it
only makes sense to consider ne.c and all the other toplevel 8390
based driver files as legacy for obsolete hardware. The most
recent thing made in large quantities that was 8390 based were
those crazy PCI ne2k clones - and even they are now 10+ years old.
Also remove myself as maintainer, since the only changes to these
drivers going forward will be the generic API type changes that
touch all drivers.

atl1: fix oops when changing tx/rx ring params
Commit 3f5a2a713aad28480d86b0add00c68484b54febc zeroes out the statistics
message block (SMB) and coalescing message block (CMB) when adapter ring
resources are freed. This is desirable behavior, but, as a side effect,
the commit leads to an oops when atl1_set_ringparam() attempts to alter
the number of rx or tx elements in the ring buffer (by using ethtool
-G, for example). We don't want SMB or CMB to change during this
operation.
Modify atl1_set_ringparam() to preserve SMB and CMB when changing ring
