The new netpoll code in bridging contains use-after-free bugs
that are non-trivial to fix.
This patch fixes this by removing the code that uses skbs after
they're freed.
As a consequence, this means that we can no longer call bridge
from the netpoll path, so this patch also removes the controller
function in order to disable netpoll.

It can happen that there are no packets in queue while calling
tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue(). tcp_write_queue_head() then returns
NULL and that gets deref'ed to get sacked into a local var.
There is no work to do if no packets are outstanding so we just
exit early.

The input handler for Type 2 Routing Header (mip6_rthdr_input())
checks if the CoA in the packet matches the CoA in the XFRM state.
Current check is buggy: it compares the adddress in the Type 2
Routing Header, i.e. the HoA, against the expected CoA in the state.
The comparison should be made against the address in the destination
field of the IPv6 header.
The bug remained unnoticed because the main (and possibly only current)
user of the code (UMIP MIPv6 Daemon) initializes the XFRM state with the
unspecified address, i.e. explicitly allows everything.

Fix problem in reading the tx_queue recorded in a socket. In
dev_pick_tx, the TX queue is read by doing a check with
sk_tx_queue_recorded on the socket, followed by a sk_tx_queue_get.
The problem is that there is not mutual exclusion across these
calls in the socket so it it is possible that the queue in the
sock can be invalidated after sk_tx_queue_recorded is called so
that sk_tx_queue get returns -1, which sets 65535 in queue_index
and thus dev_pick_tx returns 65536 which is a bogus queue and
can cause crash in dev_queue_xmit.
We fix this by only calling sk_tx_queue_get which does the proper
checks. The interface is that sk_tx_queue_get returns the TX queue
if the sock argument is non-NULL and TX queue is recorded, else it
returns -1. sk_tx_queue_recorded is no longer used so it can be
completely removed.

commit fc6055a5ba (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early
orphaning of skbs.
This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in
case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...)
Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to
spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices.
skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all
flows.
skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash()
can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.

Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.
The flow for this is,
dev_queue_xmit()
dev_pick_tx()
skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues
skb_set_queue_mapping()
...
qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
dev_hard_start_xmit()
ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash
skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.
This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

The sch_teql module, which can be used to load balance over a set of
underlying interfaces, stopped working after 2.6.30 and has been
broken in all kernels since then for any underlying interface which
requires the addition of link level headers.
The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to
access the destination address in the skb in order to do address
resolution once it has decided which underlying interface it is going
to transmit through.
In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by
default for all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be
released before the transmit routine for the interface is called.
The solution is to clear that flag for teql interfaces.

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.
For example,
vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers at all. However,
bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
and
bond0 -> ethx
will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.
This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging
skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the
skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add
logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it
is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This
makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers
a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves.
Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be
delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others
be dropped out right in the vlan path.
I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes.

The code that hashes and unhashes connections from the connection table
is missing locking of the connection being modified, which opens up a
race condition and results in memory corruption when this race condition
is hit.
Here is what happens in pretty verbose form:
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------ ------------
An active connection is terminated and
we schedule ip_vs_conn_expire() on this
CPU to expire this connection.
IRQ assignment is changed to this CPU,
but the expire timer stays scheduled on
the other CPU.
New connection from same ip:port comes
in right before the timer expires, we
find the inactive connection in our
connection table and get a reference to
it. We proper lock the connection in
tcp_state_transition() and read the
connection flags in set_tcp_state().
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called, we
unhash the connection from our
connection table and remove the hashed
flag in ip_vs_conn_unhash(), without
proper locking!
While still holding proper locks we
write the connection flags in
set_tcp_state() and this sets the hashed
flag again.
ip_vs_conn_expire() fails to expire the
connection, because the other CPU has
incremented the reference count. We try
to re-insert the connection into our
connection table, but this fails in
ip_vs_conn_hash(), because the hashed
flag has been set by the other CPU. We
re-schedule execution of
ip_vs_conn_expire(). Now this connection
has the hashed flag set, but isn't
actually hashed in our connection table
and has a dangling list_head.
We drop the reference we held on the
connection and schedule the expire timer
for timeouting the connection on this
CPU. Further packets won't be able to
find this connection in our connection
table.
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called again,
we think it's already hashed, but the
list_head is dangling and while removing
the connection from our connection table
we write to the memory location where
this list_head points to.
The result will probably be a kernel oops at some other point in time.
This race condition is pretty subtle, but it can be triggered remotely.
It needs the IRQ assignment change or another circumstance where packets
coming from the same ip:port for the same service are being processed on
different CPUs. And it involves hitting the exact time at which
ip_vs_conn_expire() gets called. It can be avoided by making sure that
all packets from one connection are always processed on the same CPU and
can be made harder to exploit by changing the connection timeouts to
some custom values.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.
This warning was reported by many, e.g. in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981,
but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame
instead of an association response.
