Jason Baron 93dc6107a7 Don't limit non-nested epoll paths
Commit 28d82dc1c4 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the
number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications
to longer work (dovecot for one).

The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting
(since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can
allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits
it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

This is captured in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681578

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to
     crashes, particularly during shutdown.  Reported by Dave Jones and
     fixed by Eric Dumazet.

  2) hyperv and wimax/i2400m return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when they have
     already freed the SKB, which causes crashes as to the caller this
     means requeue the packet.  Fixes from Eric Dumazet.

  3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on
     fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet.

  4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it
     abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to
     leaks.  Fix from RonQing Li.

  5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration.
     From Pablo Neira Ayuso.

  6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing
     to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation.  From Eric
     Dumazet.

  7) Fix a memory leak and a crash on corrupt firmware files in bnx2x,
     from Michal Schmidt."

Pablo Neira Ayuso a16a1647fa netfilter: ctnetlink: fix race between delete and timeout expiration
Kerin Millar reported hardlockups while running `conntrackd -c'
in a busy firewall. That system (with several processors) was
acting as backup in a primary-backup setup.

After several tries, I found a race condition between the deletion
operation of ctnetlink and timeout expiration. This patch fixes
this problem.

ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu() is called with rcu_read_lock(), so don't
need to dev_hold().
With dev_hold(), not corresponding dev_put(), will lead to leak.

This turned out due to a defect in an error path which runs if the
calculated location of the secondary super block was invalid.

This patch fixes it and eliminates the reported oops.

Anton Blanchard c017386352 afs: Remote abort can cause BUG in rxrpc code
When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG:

kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179!

With a backtrace of:

	afs_free_call
	afs_make_call
	afs_fs_store_data
	afs_vnode_store_data
	afs_write_back_from_locked_page
	afs_writepages_region
	afs_writepages

The cause is:

	ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue));

Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we
are exceeding our disk quota:

	rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32)

So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't
freed all the resources for the call.

By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call
we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

Anton Blanchard 2c724fb927 afs: Read of file returns EBADMSG
A read of a large file on an afs mount failed:

# cat junk.file > /dev/null
cat: junk.file: Bad message

Looking at the trace, call->offset wrapped since it is only an
unsigned short. In afs_extract_data:

        _enter("{%u},{%zu},%d,,%zu", call->offset, len, last, count);
...

        if (call->offset < count) {
                if (last) {
                        _leave(" = -EBADMSG [%d < %zu]", call->offset, count);
                        return -EBADMSG;
                }

Which matches the trace:

[cat   ] ==> afs_extract_data({65132},{524},1,,65536)
[cat   ] <== afs_extract_data() = -EBADMSG [0 < 65536]

call->offset went from 65132 to 0. Fix this by making call->offset an
unsigned int.

Mark Salter 6e780cf5c0 C6X: remove dead code from entry.S
The ENDPROC() on sys_fadvise64_c6x() in arch/c6x/kernel/entry.S is
outside of the conditional block with the matching ENTRY() macro. This
leads a newer (v2.22 vs. v2.20) assembler to complain:

  /tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Error: .size expression for sys_fadvise64_c6x does not evaluate to a constant

The conditional block became dead code when c6x switched to generic
unistd.h and should be removed along with the offending ENDPROC().

Eric Dumazet b8fbaef586 wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use
A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY,
since caller is going to reuse freed skb.

In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop.

In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet
and return NETDEV_TX_OK

Also increments tx_dropped counter

Michal Schmidt c0ea452e42 bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware()
When cycling the interface down and up, bnx2x_init_firmware() knows that
the firmware is already loaded, but nevertheless it allocates certain
arrays anew (init_data, init_ops, init_ops_offsets, iro_arr). The old
arrays are leaked.

Fix the leaks by returning early if the firmware was already loaded.
Because if the firmware is loaded, so are the arrays.

Michal Schmidt 127d0a198a bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file
If the requested firmware is deemed corrupt and then released, reset the
pointer to NULL in order to avoid double-freeing it in
bnx2x_release_firmware() or dereferencing it in bnx2x_init_firmware().

Eric Dumazet cc34eb672e sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flows
This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of
flows)

As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects.

In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent
old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for
unlimited amount of time.

It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would
add complexity outside of SFQ scope.

A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I
tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy
so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.
