David S. Miller 8d50b53d66 pkt_sched: Fix OOPS on ingress qdisc add.
Bug report from Steven Jan Springl:

	Issuing the following command causes a kernel oops:
		tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress

The problem mostly stems from all of the special case handling of
ingress qdiscs.

So, to fix this, do the grafting operation the same way we do for TX
qdiscs.  Which means that dev_activate() and dev_deactivate() now do
the "qdisc_sleeping <--> qdisc" transitions on dev->rx_queue too.

Future simplifications are possible now, mainly because it is
impossible for dev_queue->{qdisc,qdisc_sleeping} to be NULL.  There
are NULL checks all over to handle the ingress qdisc special case
that used to exist before this commit.

Miao Xie 4a36702e01 IPv6: datagram_send_ctl() should exit immediately when an error occured
When an error occured, datagram_send_ctl() should exit immediately rather than
continue to run the for loop. Otherwise, the variable err might be changed and
the error might be hidden.

Fix this bug by using "goto" instead of "break".

The master interface is a virtual interface that is registered

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 064af1117b rfkill: mutex fixes
There are two mutexes in rfkill:

rfkill->mutex, which protects some of the fields of a rfkill struct, and is
also used for callback serialization.

rfkill_mutex, which protects the global state, the list of registered
rfkill structs and rfkill->claim.

Make sure to use the correct mutex, and to not miss locking rfkill->mutex
even when we already took rfkill_mutex.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 37f55e9d78 rfkill: fix led-trigger unregister order in error unwind
rfkill needs to unregister the led trigger AFTER a call to
rfkill_remove_switch(), otherwise it will not update the LED state,
possibly leaving it ON when it should be OFF.

To make led-trigger unregistering safer, guard against unregistering a
trigger twice, and also against issuing trigger events to a led trigger
that was unregistered.  This makes the error unwind paths more resilient.

Refer to "rfkill: Register LED triggers before registering switch".

Al Viro eeb61f719c missing bits of net-namespace / sysctl
Piss-poor sysctl registration API strikes again, film at 11...

What we really need is _pathname_ required to be present in already
registered table, so that kernel could warn about bad order.  That's the
next target for sysctl stuff (and generally saner and more explicit
order of initialization of ipv[46] internals wouldn't hurt either).

For the time being, here are full fixups required by ..._rotable()
stuff; we make per-net sysctl sets descendents of "ro" one and make sure
that sufficient skeleton is there before we start registering per-net

FUJITA Tomonori 8d8bb39b9e dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

This adds a sequence number check for ICMPv6 DCCP error packets, in the same
manner as it has been done for ICMPv4 in the previous patch.

Wei Yongjun d68f0866f7 dccp: Fix sequence number check for ICMPv4 packets
The payload of ICMP message is a part of the packet sent by ourself,
so the sequence number check must use AWL and AWH, not SWL and SWH.

For example:
     Endpoint A                  Endpoint B

     DATA-ACK       -------->
     (SEQ=X)
                    <--------    ICMP (Fragmentation Needed)
                                 (SEQ=X)

Gerrit Renker 73f18fdbca dccp: Bug-Fix - AWL was never updated
The AWL lower Ack validity window advances in proportion to GSS, the greatest
sequence number sent. Updating AWL other than at connection setup (in the
DCCP-Request sent by dccp_v{4,6}_connect()) was missing in the DCCP code.

This bug lead to syslog messages such as

 "kernel: dccp_check_seqno: DCCP: Step 6 failed for DATAACK packet, [...] 
  P.ackno exists or LAWL(82947089) <= P.ackno(82948208)
                                   <= S.AWH(82948728), sending SYNC..."

The difference between AWL/AWH here is 1639 packets, while the expected value
(the Sequence Window) would have been 100 (the default).  A closer look showed
that LAWL = AWL = 82947089 equalled the ISS on the Response.

The patch now updates AWL with each increase of GSS.


Further changes:
----------------
The patch also enforces more stringent checks on the ISS sequence number:

 * AWL is initialised to ISS at connection setup and remains at this value;
 * AWH is then always set to GSS (via dccp_update_gss());
 * so on the first Request: AWL =      AWH = ISS,
   and on the n-th Request: AWL = ISS, AWH = ISS + n.

As a consequence, only Response packets that refer to Requests sent by this
host will pass, all others are discarded. This is the intention and in effect 
implements the initial adjustments for AWL as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.1.

Gerrit Renker 59435444a1 dccp: Allow to distinguish original and retransmitted packets
This patch allows the sender to distinguish original and retransmitted packets,
which is in particular needed for the retransmission of DCCP-Requests:
 * the first Request uses ISS (generated in net/dccp/ip*.c), and sets GSS = ISS;
 * all retransmitted Requests use GSS' = GSS + 1, so that the n-th retransmitted
   Request has sequence number ISS + n (mod 48).

To add generic support, the patch reorganises existing code so that:
 * icsk_retransmits == 0     for the original packet and
 * icsk_retransmits = n > 0  for the n-th retransmitted packet
at the time dccp_transmit_skb() is called, via dccp_retransmit_skb().
 
Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing this problem out.

Further changes:
----------------
 * removed the `skb' argument from dccp_retransmit_skb(), since sk_send_head
   is used for all retransmissions (the exception is client-Acks in PARTOPEN
   state, but these do not use sk_send_head);
 * since sk_send_head always contains the original skb (via dccp_entail()),
   skb_cloned() never evaluated to true and thus pskb_copy() was never used.

this is field being set is more a config parameter than a

Ilpo Järvinen 547b792cac net: convert BUG_TRAP to generic WARN_ON
Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.

Stephen Hemminger 4ecb90090c sysctl: allow override of /proc/sys/net with CAP_NET_ADMIN
Extend the permission check for networking sysctl's to allow modification
when current process has CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and is not root.  This
version uses the until now unused permissions hook to override the mode
value for /proc/sys/net if accessed by a user with capabilities.

Found while working with Quagga.  It is impossible to turn forwarding
on/off through the command interface because Quagga uses secure coding
practice of dropping privledges during initialization and only raising via
capabilities when necessary.  Since the dameon has reset real/effective
uid after initialization, all attempts to access /proc/sys/net variables
will fail.
