ipv6 mcast: use in6_dev_put in timer handlers instead of __in6_dev_put
It is possible for the timer handlers to run after the call to
ipv6_mc_down so use in6_dev_put instead of __in6_dev_put in the
handler function in order to do proper cleanup when the refcnt
reaches 0. Otherwise, the refcnt can reach zero without the
inet6_dev being destroyed and we end up leaking a reference to
the net_device and see messages like the following,
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1
Tested on linux-3.4.43.

Recently grabbed this report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005567
Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the
following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up:
dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of
device might be broken.
The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last
slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR
notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond
mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add
and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when
we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to
determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But
since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we
incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode
to begin with, causing the above error
Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function
and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity.
This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag

tcp: TSQ can use a dynamic limit
When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of
packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow.
Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small
for high rates.
Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO
auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device
queues.
New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets.
Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller
number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery,
better RTT estimations.
High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets
in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line
rate. [ In particular if TX completion is delayed because of coalescing
parameters ]
Example for a single flow on 10Gbp link controlled by FQ/pacing
Note that sk_pacing_rate is currently set to twice the actual rate, but
this might be refined in the future when a flow is in congestion
avoidance.
Additional change : skb->destructor should be set to tcp_wfree().
A future patch (for linux 3.13+) might remove tcp_limit_output_bytes

ipv6: Fix preferred_lft not updating in some cases
Consider the scenario where an IPv6 router is advertising a fixed
preferred_lft of 1800 seconds, while the valid_lft begins at 3600
seconds and counts down in realtime.
A client should reset its preferred_lft to 1800 every time the RA is
received, but a bug is causing Linux to ignore the update.
The core problem is here:
if (prefered_lft != ifp->prefered_lft) {
Note that ifp->prefered_lft is an offset, so it doesn't decrease over
time. Thus, the comparison is always (1800 != 1800), which fails to
trigger an update.
The most direct solution would be to compute a "stored_prefered_lft",
and use that value in the comparison. But I think that trying to filter
out unnecessary updates here is a premature optimization. In order for
the filter to apply, both of these would need to hold:
- The advertised valid_lft and preferred_lft are both declining in
real time.
- No clock skew exists between the router & client.
So in this patch, I've set "update_lft = 1" unconditionally, which
allows the surrounding code to be greatly simplified.

net: Delay default_device_exit_batch until no devices are unregistering v2
There is currently serialization network namespaces exiting and
network devices exiting as the final part of netdev_run_todo does not
happen under the rtnl_lock. This is compounded by the fact that the
only list of devices unregistering in netdev_run_todo is local to the
netdev_run_todo.
This lack of serialization in extreme cases results in network devices
unregistering in netdev_run_todo after the loopback device of their
network namespace has been freed (making dst_ifdown unsafe), and after
the their network namespace has exited (making the NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL callbacks unsafe).
Add the missing serialization by a per network namespace count of how
many network devices are unregistering and having a wait queue that is
woken up whenever the count is decreased. The count and wait queue
allow default_device_exit_batch to wait until all of the unregistration
activity for a network namespace has finished before proceeding to
unregister the loopback device and then allowing the network namespace
to exit.
Only a single global wait queue is used because there is a single global
lock, and there is a single waiter, per network namespace wait queues
would be a waste of resources.
The per network namespace count of unregistering devices gives a
progress guarantee because the number of network devices unregistering
in an exiting network namespace must ultimately drop to zero (assuming
network device unregistration completes).
The basic logic remains the same as in v1. This patch is now half
comment and half rtnl_lock_unregistering an expanded version of
wait_event performs no extra work in the common case where no network
devices are unregistering when we get to default_device_exit_batch.

If the first UDP packet is larger then the mtu we try to append it to the

than the mtu would be appended to the already queued up gso-skb via
plain ip6_append_data. This causes random memory corruptions.
In ip6_ufo_append_data we also have to be careful to not queue up the
same skb multiple times. So setup the gso frame only when no first skb

This also fixes a shortcoming where we add the current packet's length to

In my patch c194992cbe71c20bb3623a566af8d11b0bfaa721 ("skge: fix
broken driver") I didn't fix the skge bug correctly. The value of the
new mapping (not old) was passed to pci_unmap_single.
If we enable CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, it results in this warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at lib/dma-debug.c:986 check_sync+0x4c4/0x580()
skge 0000:02:07.0: DMA-API: device driver tries to sync DMA memory it has
not allocated [device address=0x000000023a0096c0] [size=1536 bytes]
This patch makes the skge driver pass the correct value to
pci_unmap_single and fixes the warning. It copies the old descriptor to
on-stack variable "ee" and unmaps it if mapping of the new descriptor
succeeded.
This patch should be backported to 3.11-stable.

During flows which mask block attentions (e.g., register dump) all parities
are masked. However, unlike other blocks the MCP's attention is not masked
inside the block but rather the indication to the driver. If another attention
(e.g., link change) will occour while there's an MCP parity, the driver will
ignore the fact that the parity is masked and erroneously report a parity.
This patch forces the driver to read the MCP masking while checking for

auto negotiation only when old Warpcore microcode was used (below D108).
This patch comes to generalize this by keep trying to restart KR link,
regardless of Warpcore microcode, since it was found that it solves another link

Bluetooth: don't release the port in rfcomm_dev_state_change()
When the dlc is closed, rfcomm_dev_state_change() tries to release the
port in the case it cannot get a reference to the tty. However this is
racy and not even needed.
Infact as Peter Hurley points out:
1. Only consider dlcs that are 'stolen' from a connected socket, ie.
reused. Allocated dlcs cannot have been closed prior to port
activate and so for these dlcs a tty reference will always be avail
in rfcomm_dev_state_change() -- except for the conditions covered by
#2b below.
2. If a tty was at some point previously created for this rfcomm, then
either
(a) the tty reference is still avail, so rfcomm_dev_state_change()
will perform a hangup. So nothing to do, or,
(b) the tty reference is no longer avail, and the tty_port will be
destroyed by the last tty_port_put() in rfcomm_tty_cleanup.
Again, no action required.
3. Prior to obtaining the dlc lock in rfcomm_dev_add(),
rfcomm_dev_state_change() will not 'see' a rfcomm_dev so nothing to
do here.
4. After releasing the dlc lock in rfcomm_dev_add(),
rfcomm_dev_state_change() will 'see' an incomplete rfcomm_dev if a
tty reference could not be obtained. Again, the best thing to do here
is nothing. Any future attempted open() will block on
rfcomm_dev_carrier_raised(). The unconnected device will exist until
released by ioctl(RFCOMMRELEASEDEV).
The patch removes the aforementioned code and uses the
tty_port_tty_hangup() helper to hangup the tty.

This bug was introduced by commit 7a163bfb7ce50895bbe67300ea610d31b9c09230 ("netconsole: avoid a crash with

sequence: acquire nt->mutex then rtnl, but in the netconsole netdev
notifier we have rtnl then nt->mutex effectively leading to a deadlock.
The NULL pointer dereference that the above commit tries to fix is
actually due to another bug in netpoll_cleanup(). This is fixed by dropping
the mutex from the netdev notifier as it's already protected by rtnl.

ip: generate unique IP identificator if local fragmentation is allowed
If local fragmentation is allowed, then ip_select_ident() and
ip_select_ident_more() need to generate unique IDs to ensure
correct defragmentation on the peer.
For example, if IPsec (tunnel mode) has to encrypt large skbs
that have local_df bit set, then all IP fragments that belonged
to different ESP datagrams would have used the same identificator.
If one of these IP fragments would get lost or reordered, then
peer could possibly stitch together wrong IP fragments that did
not belong to the same datagram. This would lead to a packet loss
or data corruption.
