This patch fixes a bug that prevented TIPC from receiving a
connection setup request message on a native TIPC port.
The revised connection setup logic ensures that validation
of the source of a connection-based message is skipped if
the port is not yet connected to a peer.

skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over
the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which
happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity
for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the
current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock.
This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb"
after the lock has been temporary dropped.

This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
in cache in the first place.
3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.
It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.
Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).
This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.
This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing &
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.
I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).
This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
real system HZ value which is problematic. Linux has standardized on
keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
internally at some other value.
This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
iproute2 utilities. But these utilities are already broken since they
are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
utilities will just print wrong values.

There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close:

d->state_changed(d, err);
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to
take the dlc lock, then we will deadlock.
Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in
rfcomm_dev_state_change.
why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's
another problem. rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take
rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add the lock order is :
rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock
so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock.
Actually it's a regression caused by commit
1905f6c736 ("bluetooth :
__rfcomm_dlc_close lock fix"), the dlc state_change could be two
callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change. I

in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the
following operation:
if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) {
/* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise
* rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
rfcomm_sock_kill(sk);
rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
}
}
which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call
rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good.
HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets
called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one
case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock
followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't
going anywhere fast.
This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like
the other usages of the same call are doing in this code.

The identification of this bug is thanks to Cheng Wei and Tomasz
Grobelny.
To avoid divide-by-zero, the implementation previously ignored RTTs
smaller than 4 microseconds when performing integer division RTT/4.
When the RTT reached a value less than 4 microseconds (as observed on
loopback), this prevented the Window Counter CCVal value from
advancing. As a result, the receiver stopped sending feedback. This in
turn caused non-ending expiries of the nofeedback timer at the sender,
so that the sending rate was progressively reduced until reaching the
minimum of one packet per 64 seconds.
The patch fixes this bug by handling integer division more
intelligently. Due to consistent use of dccp_sample_rtt(),
divide-by-zero-RTT is avoided.

There really is no reason for a driver to reject a frame on
an A-MPDU queue when it can stop that queue for any period
of time and is given frames one by one. Hence, disallow it
with a big warning and reduce mac80211-internal state.
Also add a warning when we try to fragment a frame destined
for an A-MPDU queue and drop it, the actual bug needs to be
fixed elsewhere but I'm not exactly sure how to yet.

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

MCS only Rx MCS were considered, assuming they are the same as the Tx MCS.

The mesh_path_node_copy() can be called like this:
mesh_path_add
`- write_lock(&pathtbl_resize_lock); /* ! */
`- mesh_table_grow
`- ->copy_node
`- mesh_path_node_copy
thus, the GFP_KERNEL is not suitable here.
The acceptable fix, I suppose, is make this allocation GPF_ATOMIC -
the mpath_node being allocated is 4 pointers, i.e. this allocation
is small enough to survive even under a moderate memory pressure.

(This set applies OK without the previous one of 4 patches,
but with some fuzz in the 7th one)
The mesh_path_node_free() does so under hashwlock.
But, this one is called
1. from mesh_path_add() after an old hash is hidden and
synchronize_rcu() is calld
2. mesh_pathtbl_unregister(), when the module is being
unloaded and no devices exist to mess with this hash.
So, it seems to me, that simply removing the call is OK.

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network
administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it

then following the standard command processing path to generate the
