9f59365374 nf_nat: use secure_ipv4_port_ephemeral() for NAT port randomization
Use incoming network tuple as seed for NAT port randomization.
This avoids concerns of leaking net_random() bits, and also gives better
port distribution. Don't have NAT server, compile tested only.

1575e7ea01 netfilter: ctnetlink: fix double helper assignation for NAT'ed conntracks
If we create a conntrack that has NAT handlings and a helper, the helper
is assigned twice. This happens because nf_nat_setup_info() - via
nf_conntrack_alter_reply() - sets the helper before ctnetlink, which
indeed does not check if the conntrack already has a helper as it thinks that
it is a brand new conntrack.

The fix moves the helper assignation before the set of the status flags.
This avoids a bogus assertion in __nf_ct_ext_add (if netfilter assertions are
enabled) which checks that the conntrack must not be confirmed.

This problem was introduced in 2.6.23 with the netfilter extension
infrastructure.

d28934ad8a dccp: Fix panic caused by too early termination of retransmission mechanism
Thanks is due to Wei Yongjun for the detailed analysis and description of this
bug at http://marc.info/?l=dccp&m=121739364909199&w=2

The problem is that invalid packets received by a client in state REQUEST cause
the retransmission timer for the DCCP-Request to be reset. This includes freeing
the Request-skb ( in dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process() ). As a consequence,
 * the arrival of further packets cause a double-free, triggering a panic(),
 * the connection then may hang, since further retransmissions are blocked.

This patch changes the order of statements so that the retransmission timer is
reset, and the pending Request freed, only if a valid Response has arrived (or
the number of sysctl-retries has been exhausted).

Further changes:
----------------
To be on the safe side, replaced __kfree_skb with kfree_skb so that if due to
unexpected circumstances the sk_send_head is NULL the WARN_ON is used instead.

4d8863a29c pkt_sched: Don't hold qdisc lock over qdisc_destroy().
Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback
and help from Jarek Poplawski and Herbert Xu.

We always either:

1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc.

or

2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous
   references.

So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(),
it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is
free'd memory.

25bfcd5a78 pkt_sched: Add lockdep annotation for qdisc locks
Qdisc locks are initialized in the same function, qdisc_alloc(), so
lockdep can't distinguish tx qdisc lock from rx and reports "possible
recursive locking detected" when both these locks are taken eg. while
using act_mirred with ifb. This looks like a false positive. Anyway,
after this patch these locks will be reported more exactly.

d47c3cebf5 p54u: reset skb's data/tail pointer on requeue
(Only important for USB V1 Adaptors)

If an incoming frame wasn't accepted by p54_rx function
the skb will be reused for new frames...

But, we must not forget to set the skb's data pointers into
the same state in which it was initialized by p54u_init_urbs.

Otherwise we either end up with 16 bytes less on every requeue,
or if a new frame is worthy enough to be accepted, the data is
in the wrong place (urb->transfer_buffer wasn't updated!) and mac80211
has a hard time to recognize it...

the checksum field is actually valid which is not true for loopback
packets since it's only partial (and thus complemented).

This allows packets from lo to then be SNATed to an external source
while still preserving the checksum's validity.

a get_ethtool_stats call, the driver will call a driver-private,
inlined get_stat64() function, which returns an unsigned long value.
This call will inadvertently mask off the upper 32-bits of a stat on
32-bit machines.

This patch defines a new get_estat() inline function and modifies the
ESTAT_ADD() macro to use it.

4ba526ced9 tg3: Fix firmware event timeouts
The git commit 7c5026aa9b ("tg3: Add
link state reporting to UMP firmware") introduced code that waits for
previous firmware events to be serviced before attempting to submit a
new event.  Unfortunately that patch contained a bug that cause the
driver to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 2.5 milliseconds as intended.
This patch fixes that bug.

This bug revealed that not all firmware versions service driver events
though.  Since we do not know which versions of the firmware do and don't
service these events, the driver needs some way to minimize the effects
of the delay.  This patch solves the problem by recording a jiffies
timestamp when it submits an event to the hardware.  If the jiffies
counter shows that 2.5 milliseconds have already passed, a wait is not
needed and the driver can proceed to submit a new event.

bc7959b2cb tg3: Turn off ASF "driver alive" heartbeats for APE
The ENABLE_ASF flag is set when DASH is enabled on the NIC, but DASH
does not run on the RX CPU.  Instead it runs on the APE.
Consequently, the driver does not need to send "driver alive" updates
to the RX CPU when the APE is present.

3bda125896 tg3: Preserve register settings for DASH
Broadcom's DASH (Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware)
implementation requires that the driver preserve particular register
settings.  If the driver does not preserve them, communication with
the DASH firmware will be lost.

731fd79c13 tg3: Refine APE status check
Recently, more status bits have been added to the APE status register.
This patch refines the status register check so that the driver can
send more events than it would have otherwise.
