Marcel Holtmann 8c1b235594 Bluetooth: Add enhanced security model for Simple Pairing
The current security model is based around the flags AUTH, ENCRYPT and
SECURE. Starting with support for the Bluetooth 2.1 specification this is
no longer sufficient. The different security levels are now defined as
SDP, LOW, MEDIUM and SECURE.

Previously it was possible to set each security independently, but this
actually doesn't make a lot of sense. For Bluetooth the encryption depends
on a previous successful authentication. Also you can only update your
existing link key if you successfully created at least one before. And of
course the update of link keys without having proper encryption in place
is a security issue.

The new security levels from the Bluetooth 2.1 specification are now
used internally. All old settings are mapped to the new values and this
way it ensures that old applications still work. The only limitation
is that it is no longer possible to set authentication without also
enabling encryption. No application should have done this anyway since
this is actually a security issue. Without encryption the integrity of
the authentication can't be guaranteed.

As default for a new L2CAP or RFCOMM connection, the LOW security level
is used. The only exception here are the service discovery sessions on
PSM 1 where SDP level is used. To have similar security strength as with
a Bluetooth 2.0 and before combination key, the MEDIUM level should be
used. This is according to the Bluetooth specification. The MEDIUM level
will not require any kind of man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection. Only
the HIGH security level will require this.

Marcel Holtmann c89b6e6bda Bluetooth: Fix SCO state handling for incoming connections
When the remote device supports only SCO connections, on receipt of
the HCI_EV_CONN_COMPLETE event packet, the connect state is changed to
BT_CONNECTED, but the socket state is not updated. Hence, the connect()
call times out even though the SCO connection has been successfully
established.

Marcel Holtmann c4f912e155 Bluetooth: Add global deferred socket parameter
The L2CAP and RFCOMM applications require support for authorization
and the ability of rejecting incoming connection requests. The socket
interface is not really able to support this.

This patch does the ground work for a socket option to defer connection
setup. Setting this option allows calling of accept() and then the
first read() will trigger the final connection setup. Calling close()
would reject the connection.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 1ce85fe402 netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

Josef Drexler 325fb5b4d2 netfilter: xt_recent: fix proc-file addition/removal of IPv4 addresses
Fix regression introduded by commit 079aa88 (netfilter: xt_recent: IPv6 support):

From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12753:

Problem Description:
An uninitialized buffer causes IPv4 addresses added manually (via the +IP
command to the proc interface) to never match any packets. Similarly, the -IP
command fails to remove IPv4 addresses.

Details:
In the function recent_entry_lookup, the xt_recent module does comparisons of
the entire nf_inet_addr union value, both for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For
addresses initialized from actual packets the remaining 12 bytes not occupied
by the IPv4 are zeroed so this works correctly. However when setting the
nf_inet_addr addr variable in the recent_mt_proc_write function, only the IPv4
bytes are initialized and the remaining 12 bytes contain garbage.

Hence addresses added in this way never match any packets, unless these
uninitialized 12 bytes happened to be zero by coincidence. Similarly, addresses
cannot consistently be removed using the proc interface due to mismatch of the
garbage bytes (although it will sometimes work to remove an address that was
added manually).

Reading the /proc/net/xt_recent/ entries hides this problem because this only
uses the first 4 bytes when displaying IPv4 addresses.

Steps to reproduce:
$ iptables -I INPUT -m recent --rcheck -j LOG
$ echo +169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910

[At this point no packets from 169.254.156.239 are being logged.]

$ iptables -I INPUT -s 169.254.156.239 -m recent --set
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126184 oldest_pkt: 4 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184

[At this point, adding the address via an iptables rule, packets are being
logged correctly.]

$ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992
$ echo -169.254.156.239 > /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
$ cat /proc/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 0 last_seen: 119910 oldest_pkt: 1 119910
src=169.254.156.239 ttl: 255 last_seen: 126992 oldest_pkt: 10 125434, 125684, 125934, 126184, 126434, 126684, 126934, 126991, 126991, 126992

[Removing the address via /proc interface failed evidently.]

Possible solutions:
- initialize the addr variable in recent_mt_proc_write
- compare only 4 bytes for IPv4 addresses in recent_entry_lookup

Eric W. Biederman ce16c5337a netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.

Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

Eric W. Biederman 959d272649 netns: Fix icmp shutdown.
Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup.  There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.

The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.

It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys.  Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

Herbert Xu 7691367d71 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.

Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for fixing a critical bug in this and
Jeff Chua for reporting that bug.

Pablo Neira Ayuso be0c22a46c netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink
socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.

This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

Krishna Kumar e88721f87d net: Optimize skb_tx_hash() by eliminating a comparison
Optimize skb_tx_hash() by eliminating a comparison that executes for
every packet. skb_tx_hashrnd initialization is moved to a later part of
the startup sequence, namely after the "random" driver is initialized.

Rebooted the system three times and verified that the code generates
different random numbers each time.

Eric Leblond 2c6764b743 netfilter: nfnetlink_log: fix timeout handling
NFLOG timeout was computed in timer by doing:

    flushtimeout*HZ/100

Default value of flushtimeout was HZ (for 1 second delay). This was
wrong for non 100HZ computer. This patch modify the default delay by
using 100 instead of HZ.

Eric Leblond 5ca431f9ae netfilter: nfnetlink_log: fix per-rule qthreshold override
In NFLOG the per-rule qthreshold should overrides per-instance only
it is set. With current code, the per-rule qthreshold is 1 if not set
and it overrides the per-instance qthreshold.

This patch modifies the default xt_NFLOG threshold from 1 to
0. Thus a value of 0 means there is no per-rule setting and the instance
parameter has to apply.

David S. Miller 92a0acce18 net: Kill skb_truesize_check(), it only catches false-positives.
A long time ago we had bugs, primarily in TCP, where we would modify
skb->truesize (for TSO queue collapsing) in ways which would corrupt
the socket memory accounting.

skb_truesize_check() was added in order to try and catch this error
more systematically.

However this debugging check has morphed into a Frankenstein of sorts
and these days it does nothing other than catch false-positives.

Vlad Yasevich 914e1c8b69 sctp: Inherit all socket options from parent correctly.
During peeloff/accept() sctp needs to save the parent socket state
into the new socket so that any options set on the parent are
inherited by the child socket.  This was found when the
parent/listener socket issues SO_BINDTODEVICE, but the
data was misrouted after a route cache flush.

Vlad Yasevich faee47cdbf sctp: Fix the RTO-doubling on idle-link heartbeats
SCTP incorrectly doubles rto ever time a Hearbeat chunk
is generated.   However RFC 4960 states:

   On an idle destination address that is allowed to heartbeat, it is
   recommended that a HEARTBEAT chunk is sent once per RTO of that
   destination address plus the protocol parameter 'HB.interval', with
   jittering of +/- 50% of the RTO value, and exponential backoff of the
   RTO if the previous HEARTBEAT is unanswered.

Essentially, of if the heartbean is unacknowledged, do we double the RTO.
