Florian Westphal de81bbea17 netfilter: ipt_addrtype: rename to xt_addrtype
Followup patch will add ipv6 support.

ipt_addrtype.h is retained for compatibility reasons, but no longer used
by the kernel.

Nicolas de Pesloüan a23c37f111 bonding: documentation update: mailing lists.
In commit a6c36ee677 ("bonding: change list
contact to netdev@vger.kernel.org"), the mailing list for bonding
developpement was changed from bonding-devel to netdev.

Update the bonding documentation to reflect this change:

- bonding-devel is used for usage discussions (despite the name).
- netdev is used for developpement discussions.

Also remove the reference to the sourceforge bonding page, which is
deprecated.

Rémi Denis-Courmont a015f6f499 Phonet: kill the ST-Ericsson pipe controller Kconfig
This is now a run-time choice so that a single kernel can support both
old and new generation ISI modems. Support for manually enabling the
pipe flow is removed as it did not work properly, does not fit well
with the socket API, and I am not aware of any use at the moment.

Rémi Denis-Courmont 297edb6003 Phonet: support active connection without pipe controller on modem
This provides support for newer ISI modems with no need for the
earlier experimental compile-time alternative choice. With this,
we can now use the same kernel and userspace with both types of
modems.

This also avoids confusing two different and incompatible state
machines, actively connected vs accepted sockets, and adds
connection response error handling (processing "SYN/RST" of sorts).

Rémi Denis-Courmont acaf7df610 Phonet: provide pipe socket option to retrieve the pipe identifier
User-space sometimes needs this information. In particular, the GPRS
context or the AT commands pipe setups may use the pipe handle as a
reference.

This removes the settable pipe handle with CONFIG_PHONET_PIPECTRLR.
It did not handle error cases correctly. Furthermore, the kernel
*could* implement a smart scheme for allocating handles (if ever
needed), but userspace really cannot.

David Howells 1362fa078d DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].

Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.

Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.

The buggy code was added in:

	commit 4a2d789267
	Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
	Date:   Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
	Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]

This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>
	#include <err.h>
	static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
	int main()
	{
		key_serial_t key;
		key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
			      KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
		if (key == -1)
			err(1, "add_key");
		if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
			err(1, "read_key");
		return 0;
	}

What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:

	dns-break: read_key: No such device or address

but instead the kernel oopses.

This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data.  Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.

The oops looks like:

Michal Hocko 552b372ba9 memsw: deprecate noswapaccount kernel parameter and schedule it for removal
noswapaccount couldn't be used to control memsw for both on/off cases so
we have added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter.  This way we can turn the
feature in two ways noswapaccount resp.  swapaccount=0.  We have kept the
original noswapaccount but I think we should remove it after some time as
it just makes more command line parameters without any advantages and also
the code to handle parameters is uglier if we want both parameters.

There was some confusion at LCA as to why the sysctl tcp_ecn took one
of three values when it was documented as a Boolean.  This patch fixes

Grant Likely cf4e5c6e8d dt: Remove obsolete description of powerpc boot interface
32 and 64 bit powerpc support has been merged for a while now, but
the booting-without-of.txt document still describes 32 bit as not
supporting multiplatform, which is no longer true.  This patch fixes
the documentation.

Also remove references to powerpc-specific details outside of section
I in preparation to add details for other architectures.

v3: cleaned up a lot more powerpc-isms and updated text to reflect current
    usage conventions.

Anton Altaparmakov af5eb745ef NTFS: Fix invalid pointer dereference in ntfs_mft_record_alloc().
In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with
map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @m with the return value and on
error, we then try to use the old @m but that is no longer there as @m
now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the
error code as if it were a pointer.

The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value
thus preserving the original @m for later use.  This is a backport from
the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested...

Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it
in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).
