Linus Torvalds 27703bb4a6 PTR_RET() is a weird name, and led to some confusing usage. We ended
up with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(), and replacing or fixing all the usages.
 
 This has been sitting in linux-next for a whole cycle.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

Linus Torvalds a8787645e1 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending
    attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the
    per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets.  It did fix some
    important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here
    too.  Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6
    output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk
    attached.

    The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out
    how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk
    socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want
    to send to other devices too.  That's really bad behavior.

    Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change.

 2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made
    to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago.  From Eric Dumazet.

 3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne.

 4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the
    skb->sk too early.  Fix from Li Hongjun.

 5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from
    Chris Clark.

 6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain
    alloc_skb() for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner
    mark which needs to see the skb->sk for such frames.  From Phil
    Oester.

 7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz,
    specifically in the handling of virtual functions.

 8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when
    we have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules.  Fix from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa.

 9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg.

10) Fix network namespace handing wrt.  SCM_RIGHTS, from Andy
    Lutomirski.

11) Fix usage of bogus NAPI weight in jme, netxen, and ps3_gelic
    drivers.  From Michal Schmidt.

12) Hopefully a complete and correct fix for the genetlink dump locking
    and module reference counting.  From Pravin B Shelar.

13) sk_busy_loop() must do a cpu_relax(), from Eliezer Tamir.

14) Fix handling of timestamp offset when restoring a snapshotted TCP
    socket.  From Andrew Vagin.

Daniel Borkmann 2d98c29b6f net: bridge: convert MLDv2 Query MRC into msecs_to_jiffies for max_delay
While looking into MLDv1/v2 code, I noticed that bridging code does
not convert it's max delay into jiffies for MLDv2 messages as we do
in core IPv6' multicast code.

RFC3810, 5.1.3. Maximum Response Code says:

  The Maximum Response Code field specifies the maximum time allowed
  before sending a responding Report. The actual time allowed, called
  the Maximum Response Delay, is represented in units of milliseconds,
  and is derived from the Maximum Response Code as follows: [...]

As we update timers that work with jiffies, we need to convert it.

Eric Dumazet 702821f4ea net: revert 8728c544a9 ("net: dev_pick_tx() fix")
commit 8728c544a9 ("net: dev_pick_tx() fix") and commit
b6fe83e952 ("bonding: refine IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE capability")
are quite incompatible : Queue selection is disabled because skb
dst was dropped before entering bonding device.

This causes major performance regression, mainly because TCP packets
for a given flow can be sent to multiple queues.

This is particularly visible when using the new FQ packet scheduler
with MQ + FQ setup on the slaves.

We can safely revert the first commit now that 416186fbf8
("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx into __netdev_pick_tx")
properly caps the queue_index.

Li Hongjun 737e828bdb ipv4 tunnels: fix an oops when using ipip/sit with IPsec
Since commit 3d7b46cd20 (ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to
ip_tunnel module.), an Oops is triggered when an xfrm policy is configured on
an IPv4 over IPv4 tunnel.

xfrm4_policy_check() calls __xfrm_policy_check2(), which uses skb_dst(skb). But
this field is NULL because iptunnel_pull_header() calls skb_dst_drop(skb).

Erik Hugne 2c8d851823 tipc: set sk_err correctly when connection fails
Should a connect fail, if the publication/server is unavailable or
due to some other error, a positive value will be returned and errno
is never set. If the application code checks for an explicit zero
return from connect (success) or a negative return (failure), it
will not catch the error and subsequent send() calls will fail as
shown from the strace snippet below.

socket(0x1e /* PF_??? */, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=0x1e /* AF_??? */, sa_data="\2\1\322\4\0\0\322\4\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16) = 111
sendto(3, "test", 4, 0, NULL, 0)        = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)

The reason for this behaviour is that TIPC wrongly inverts error
codes set in sk_err.

Linus Lüssing cc0fdd8028 bridge: separate querier and query timer into IGMP/IPv4 and MLD/IPv6 ones
Currently we would still potentially suffer multicast packet loss if there
is just either an IGMP or an MLD querier: For the former case, we would
possibly drop IPv6 multicast packets, for the latter IPv4 ones. This is
because we are currently assuming that if either an IGMP or MLD querier
is present that the other one is present, too.

This patch makes the behaviour and fix added in
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b)
to also work if there is either just an IGMP or an MLD querier on the
link: It refines the deactivation of the snooping to be protocol
specific by using separate timers for the snooped IGMP and MLD queries
as well as separate timers for our internal IGMP and MLD queriers.

David S. Miller 79f9ab7e0a Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec
Steffen Klassert says:

====================
This pull request fixes some issues that arise when 6in4 or 4in6 tunnels
are used in combination with IPsec, all from Hannes Frederic Sowa and a
null pointer dereference when queueing packets to the policy hold queue.

1) We might access the local error handler of the wrong address family if
   6in4 or 4in6 tunnel is protected by ipsec. Fix this by addind a pointer
   to the correct local_error to xfrm_state_afinet.

2) Add a helper function to always refer to the correct interpretation
   of skb->sk.

3) Call skb_reset_inner_headers to record the position of the inner headers
   when adding a new one in various ipv6 tunnels. This is needed to identify
   the addresses where to send back errors in the xfrm layer.

4) Dereference inner ipv6 header if encapsulated to always call the
   right error handler.

5) Choose protocol family by skb protocol to not call the wrong
   xfrm{4,6}_local_error handler in case an ipv6 sockets is used
   in ipv4 mode.

6) Partly revert "xfrm: introduce helper for safe determination of mtu"
   because this introduced pmtu discovery problems.

7) Set skb->protocol on tcp, raw and ip6_append_data genereated skbs.
   We need this to get the correct mtu informations in xfrm.

8) Fix null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output.

Thomas Graf 1f324e3887 ipv6: Don't depend on per socket memory for neighbour discovery messages
Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages
currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace
socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space.

If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier
loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume
all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to
be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets.

The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited,
simply use alloc_skb() and don't depend on any socket wmem space any
longer.

This patch has orginally been posted by Eric Dumazet in a modified
form.

Andrew Vagin e3e1202831 tcp: don't apply tsoffset if rcv_tsecr is zero
The zero value means that tsecr is not valid, so it's a special case.

tsoffset is used to customize tcp_time_stamp for one socket.
tsoffset is usually zero, it's used when a socket was moved from one
host to another host.

Currently this issue affects logic of tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts. Due to
incorrect value of rcv_tsecr, tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts sets rto to
TCP_RTO_MAX.

Trond Myklebust 347e2233b7 SUNRPC: Fix memory corruption issue on 32-bit highmem systems
Some architectures, such as ARM-32 do not return the same base address
when you call kmap_atomic() twice on the same page.
This causes problems for the memmove() call in the XDR helper routine
"_shift_data_right_pages()", since it defeats the detection of
overlapping memory ranges, and has been seen to corrupt memory.

The fix is to distinguish between the case where we're doing an
inter-page copy or not. In the former case of we know that the memory
ranges cannot possibly overlap, so we can additionally micro-optimise
by replacing memmove() with memcpy().

Steffen Klassert 302a50bc94 xfrm: Fix potential null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output
The net_device might be not set on the skb when we try refcounting.
This leads to a null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output().
It turned out that the refcount to the net_device is not needed
after all. The dst_entry has a refcount to the net_device before
we queue the skb, so it can't go away. Therefore we can remove the
refcount on queueing to fix the null pointer dereference.

Along with those...

Sujith Manoharan makes a minor change to not use a PLL hang workaroun
for AR9550.  This one-liner fixes a couple of bugs reported in the Red Hat
bugzilla.

Helmut Schaa addresses an ath9k_htc bug that mangles frame headers
during Tx.  This fix is small, tested by the bug reported and isolated
to ath9k_htc.

Stanislaw Gruszka reverts a recent iwl4965 change that broke rfkill

Hannes Frederic Sowa 9c9c9ad5fa ipv6: set skb->protocol on tcp, raw and ip6_append_data genereated skbs
Currently we don't initialize skb->protocol when transmitting data via
tcp, raw(with and without inclhdr) or udp+ufo or appending data directly
to the socket transmit queue (via ip6_append_data). This needs to be
done so that we can get the correct mtu in the xfrm layer.

Setting of skb->protocol happens only in functions where we also have
a transmitting socket and a new skb, so we don't overwrite old values.

The "when" field must be set for such skb. It's used in tcp_rearm_rto

be calculated incorrectly and a tcp connected can stop for two minutes

Hannes Frederic Sowa 4b08a8f1bd ipv6: remove max_addresses check from ipv6_create_tempaddr
Because of the max_addresses check attackers were able to disable privacy
extensions on an interface by creating enough autoconfigured addresses:

<http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q4/292>

But the check is not actually needed: max_addresses protects the
kernel to install too many ipv6 addresses on an interface and guards
addrconf_prefix_rcv to install further addresses as soon as this limit
is reached. We only generate temporary addresses in direct response of
a new address showing up. As soon as we filled up the maximum number of
addresses of an interface, we stop installing more addresses and thus
also stop generating more temp addresses.

Even if the attacker tries to generate a lot of temporary addresses
by announcing a prefix and removing it again (lifetime == 0) we won't
install more temp addresses, because the temporary addresses do count
to the maximum number of addresses, thus we would stop installing new
autoconfigured addresses when the limit is reached.

This patch fixes CVE-2013-0343 (but other layer-2 attacks are still
possible).

Thanks to Ding Tianhong to bring this topic up again.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer 8a8e3d84b1 net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling
commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
broke the "linklayer atm" handling.

 tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm

The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table
which is send to the kernel.  No direct parameter were
transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting.

The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
removed the use of the rate table system.

To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects
the linklayer by parsing the rate table.  It also supports future
versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the
kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in
struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but
only using the lower 4 bits of this field.

Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because
at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that
several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM
detect.  Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at
1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have
been more broken than we first realized.

parameters that it was received with since that will generally
just result in the packet going back to us. As a result, userspace
assumes that the tunnel key is cleared when transitioning through
the switch. In the majority of cases this doesn't matter since a
packet is either going to a tunnel port (in which the key is
overwritten with new values) or to a non-tunnel port (in which
case the key is ignored). However, it's theoreticaly possible that
userspace could rely on the documented behavior, so this corrects
it.

Pravin B Shelar 42415c90ce openvswitch: Use correct type while allocating flex array.
Flex array is used to allocate hash buckets which is type struct
hlist_head, but we use `struct hlist_head *` to calculate
array size.  Since hlist_head is of size pointer it works fine.

Following patch use correct type.

Jesse Gross 30444e981b openvswitch: Fix bad merge resolution.
git silently included an extra hunk in vport_cmd_set() during
automatic merging. This code is unreachable so it does not actually
introduce a problem but it is clearly incorrect.
