359d67d6ad [CIFS] Remove redundant test
In fs/cifs/cifssmb.c, pLockData is tested for being NULL at the beginning
of the function, and not reassigned subsequently.

c6fbba0546 [CIFS] make sure that DFS pathnames are properly formed
The paths in a DFS request are supposed to only have a single preceding
backslash, but we are sending them with a double backslash. This is
exposing a bug in Windows where it also sends a path in the response
that has a double backslash.

The existing code that builds the mount option string however expects a
double backslash prefix in a couple of places when it tries to use the
path returned by build_path_from_dentry. Fix compose_mount_options to
expect properly formed DFS paths (single backslash at front).

Also clean up error handling in that function. There was a possible
NULL pointer dereference and situations where a partially built option
string would be returned.

Tested against Samba 3.0.28-ish server and Samba 3.3 and Win2k8.

8570552425 cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly
cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly

The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is
not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts
the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for
wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()).

The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process
will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then
cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping.

I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that
cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes
on all response_q's that have calls in flight.  This makes for
unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability
in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once.

Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This
makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change,
cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed.

I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm
working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy
I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time
(<1% difference in times).

Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out. Wasrshi, it
would be nice to know whether this patch also helps your testcase.

8be0ed44c2 [CIFS] Can not mount with prefixpath if root directory of share is inaccessible
Windows allows you to deny access to the top of a share, but permit access to
a directory lower in the path.  With the prefixpath feature of cifs
(ie mounting \\server\share\directory\subdirectory\etc.) this should have
worked if the user specified a prefixpath which put the root of the mount
at a directory to which he had access, but we still were doing a lookup
on the root of the share (null path) when we should have been doing it on
the prefixpath subdirectory.

This fixes Samba bug # 5925

13a6e42af8 [CIFS] add mount option to send mandatory rather than advisory locks
Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks
(as is used for Windows/DOS/OS2 etc). Sending advisory (posix style)
byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can
lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other
clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which
they have locked and are updating).  This mount option allows
mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or
"forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory
byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than
posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support
posix byte range lock requests.  This has no effect if the server
does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks
require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts
to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications
that require mandatory byte range locks.

8ecaf67a8e cifs: account for IPv6 in ses->serverName and clean up netbios name handling
The current code for setting the session serverName is IPv4-specific.
Allow it to be an IPv6 address as well. Use NIP* macros to set the
format.

This also entails increasing the length of the serverName field, so
declare a new macro for RFC1001 name length and use it in the
appropriate places.

Finally, drop the unicode_server_Name field from TCP_Server_Info since
it's not used. We can add it back later if needed, but for now it just
wastes memory.

619e803d3c netlink: fix (theoretical) overrun in message iteration
See commit 1045b03e07 ("netlink: fix
overrun in attribute iteration") for a detailed explanation of why
this patch is necessary.

In short, nlmsg_next() can make "remaining" go negative, and the
remaining >= sizeof(...) comparison will promote "remaining" to an
unsigned type, which means that the expression will evaluate to
true for negative numbers, even though it was not intended.

I put "theoretical" in the title because I have no evidence that
this can actually happen, but I suspect that a crafted netlink
packet can trigger some badness.

Note that the last test, which seemingly has the exact same
problem (also true for nla_ok()), is perfectly OK, since we
already know that remaining is positive.

64ff3b938e tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.

This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.

Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.

Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted.  This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.

The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications.  However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks.  More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

8510b937ae sctp: Add validity check for SCTP_PARTIAL_DELIVERY_POINT socket option
The latest ietf socket extensions API draft said:

  8.1.21.  Set or Get the SCTP Partial Delivery Point

    Note also that the call will fail if the user attempts to set
    this value larger than the socket receive buffer size.

This patch add this validity check for SCTP_PARTIAL_DELIVERY_POINT
socket option.

9fcb95a105 sctp: Avoid memory overflow while FWD-TSN chunk is received with bad stream ID
If FWD-TSN chunk is received with bad stream ID, the sctp will not do the
validity check, this may cause memory overflow when overwrite the TSN of
the stream ID.

The FORWARD-TSN chunk is like this:

FORWARD-TSN chunk
  Type                       = 192
  Flags                      = 0
  Length                     = 172
  NewTSN                     = 99
  Stream                     = 10000
  StreamSequence             = 0xFFFF

This patch fix this problem by discard the chunk if stream ID is not
less than MIS.
