db38c179a7 [NET]: __alloc_pages() failures reported due to fragmentation
We have seen a couple of __alloc_pages() failures due to
fragmentation, there is plenty of free memory but no large order pages
available.  I think the problem is in sock_alloc_send_pskb(), the
gfp_mask includes __GFP_REPEAT but its never used/passed to the page
allocator.  Shouldnt the gfp_mask be passed to alloc_skb() ?

02e60370d4 [IPX]: Annotate and fix IPX checksum
Calculation of IPX checksum got buggered about 2.4.0.  The old variant
mangled the packet; that got fixed, but calculation itself got buggered.
Restored the correct logics, fixed a subtle breakage we used to have even
back then: if the sum is 0 mod 0xffff, we want to return 0, not 0xffff.
The latter has special meaning for IPX (cheksum disabled).  Observation
(and obvious fix) nicked from history of FreeBSD ipx_cksum.c...

1b7c2dbc07 [IPV6]: fix flowlabel seqfile handling
There's a bug in the seqfile show operation for flowlabel objects, where 
each hash chain is traversed cumulatively for each element.  The following 
function is called for each element of each chain:

static void ip6fl_fl_seq_show(struct seq_file *seq, struct ip6_flowlabel *fl)
{
        while(fl) {
                seq_printf...
		
		fl = fl->next;
	}
}

Thus, objects can appear mutliple times when reading 
/proc/net/ip6_flowlabel, as the above is called for each element in the 
chain.

The solution is to remove the while() loop from the above, and traverse 
each chain exactly once, per the patch below.  This also removes the 
ip6fl_fl_seq_show() function, which does nothing else.

de76e695a5 [SCTP]: Remove temporary associations from backlog and hash.
Every time SCTP creates a temporary association, the stack hashes it,
puts it on a list of endpoint associations and increments the backlog.
However, the lifetime of a temporary association is the processing time
of a current packet and it's destroyed after that. In fact, we don't
really want anyone else finding this association. There is no reason to
do this extra work.

f8687afefc [NetLabel]: protect the CIPSOv4 socket option from setsockopt()
This patch makes two changes to protect applications from either removing or
tampering with the CIPSOv4 IP option on a socket.  The first is the requirement
that applications have the CAP_NET_RAW capability to set an IPOPT_CIPSO option
on a socket; this prevents untrusted applications from setting their own
CIPSOv4 security attributes on the packets they send.  The second change is to
SELinux and it prevents applications from setting any IPv4 options when there
is an IPOPT_CIPSO option already present on the socket; this prevents
applications from removing CIPSOv4 security attributes from the packets they
send.

590bdf7fd2 [NETFILTER]: Missed and reordered checks in {arp,ip,ip6}_tables
There is a number of issues in parsing user-provided table in
translate_table(). Malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN may crash system by
passing special-crafted table to the *_tables.

The first issue is that mark_source_chains() function is called before entry
content checks. In case of standard target, mark_source_chains() function
uses t->verdict field in order to determine new position. But the check, that
this field leads no further, than the table end, is in check_entry(), which
is called later, than mark_source_chains().

The second issue, that there is no check that target_offset points inside
entry. If so, *_ITERATE_MATCH macro will follow further, than the entry
ends. As a result, we'll have oops or memory disclosure.

And the third issue, that there is no check that the target is completely
inside entry. Results are the same, as in previous issue.

bcd620757d [IPV6]: fix lockup via /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel
There's a bug in the seqfile handling for /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel, where,
after finding a flowlabel, the code will loop forever not finding any
further flowlabels, first traversing the rest of the hash bucket then just
looping.

This patch fixes the problem by breaking after the hash bucket has been
traversed.

Note that this bug can cause lockups and oopses, and is trivially invoked
by an unpriveleged user.

28cd775273 [SCTP]: Always linearise packet on input
I was looking at a RHEL5 bug report involving Xen and SCTP
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212550).
It turns out that SCTP wasn't written to handle skb fragments at
all.  The absence of any calls to skb_may_pull is testament to
that.

It just so happens that Xen creates fragmented packets more often
than other scenarios (header & data split when going from domU to
dom0).  That's what caused this bug to show up.

Until someone has the time sits down and audits the entire net/sctp
directory, here is a conservative and safe solution that simply
linearises all packets on input.

c8884edd07 [NET]: Fix segmentation of linear packets
skb_segment fails to segment linear packets correctly because it
tries to write all linear parts of the original skb into each
segment.  This will always panic as each segment only contains
enough space for one MSS.

This was not detected earlier because linear packets should be
rare for GSO.  In fact it still remains to be seen what exactly
created the linear packets that triggered this bug.  Basically
the only time this should happen is if someone enables GSO
emulation on an interface that does not support SG.

d6740df98e [PATCH] sunrpc: fix refcounting problems in rpc servers
A recent patch fixed a problem which would occur when the refcount on an
auth_domain reached zero.  This problem has not been reported in practice
despite existing in two major kernel releases because the refcount can
never reach zero.

This patch fixes the problems that stop the refcount reaching zero.

1/ We were adding to the refcount when inserting in the hash table,
   but only removing from the hashtable when the refcount reached zero.
   Obviously it never would.  So don't count the implied reference of
   being in the hash table.

2/ There are two paths on which a socket can be destroyed.  One called
   svcauth_unix_info_release().  The other didn't.  So when the other was
   taken, we can lose a reference to an ip_map which in-turn holds a
   reference to an auth_domain

   So unify the exit paths into svc_sock_put.  This highlights the fact
   that svc_delete_socket has slightly odd semantics - it does not drop
   a reference but probably should.  Fixing this need a bit more
   thought and testing.

6d381634d2 [NETFILTER]: Fix ip6_tables extension header bypass bug
As reported by Mark Dowd <Mark_Dowd@McAfee.com>, ip6_tables is susceptible
to a fragmentation attack causing false negatives on extension header matches.

When extension headers occur in the non-first fragment after the fragment
header (possibly with an incorrect nexthdr value in the fragment header)
a rule looking for this extension header will never match.

Drop fragments that are at offset 0 and don't contain the final protocol
header regardless of the ruleset, since this should not happen normally.
Since all extension headers are before the protocol header this makes sure
an extension header is either not present or in the first fragment, where
we can properly parse it.

fd169f15a6 [DCCP] ipv6: Fix opt_skb leak.
Based upon a patch from Jesper Juhl.  Try to match the
TCP IPv6 code this was copied from as much as possible,
so that it's easy to see where to add the ipv6 pktoptions
support code.

82709531a8 [DCCP]: Fix Oops in DCCPv6
I think I got the cause for the Oops observed in
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00578.html

The problem is always with applications listening on PF_INET6 sockets. Apart
from the mentioned oops, I observed another one one, triggered at irregular
intervals via timer interrupt:

    run_timer_softirq -> dccp_keepalive_timer
                      -> inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune
                      -> reqsk_free
                      -> dccp_v6_reqsk_destructor

The latter function is the problem and is also the last function to be called
in said kernel panic.

In any case, there is a real problem with allocating the right request_sock
which is what this patch tackles.

It fixes the following problem:
 - application listens on PF_INET6
 - DCCPv4 packet comes in, is handed over to dccp_v4_do_rcv, from there
   to dccp_v4_conn_request

Now: socket is PF_INET6, packet is IPv4. The following code then furnishes the
connection with IPv6 - request_sock operations:

   req = reqsk_alloc(sk->sk_prot->rsk_prot);

The first problem is that all further incoming packets will get a Reset since
the connection can not be looked up.

The second problem is worse:
 --> reqsk_alloc is called instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc
 --> consequently inet6_rsk_offset is never set (dangling pointer)
 --> the request_sock_ops are nevertheless still dccp6_request_ops
 --> destructor is called via reqsk_free
 --> dccp_v6_reqsk_destructor tries to free random memory location (inet6_rsk_offset not set)
 --> panic

I have tested this for a while, DCCP sockets are now handled correctly in all
three scenarios (v4/v6 only/v4-mapped).

Commiter note: I've added the dccp_request_sock_ops forward declaration to keep
               the tree building and to reduce the size of the patch for 2.6.19,
               later I'll move the functions to the top of the affected source
               code to match what we have in the TCP counterpart, where this
               problem hasn't existed in the first place, dumb me not to have
               done the same thing on DCCP land 8)

1a047060a9 [PATCH] knfsd: fix race that can disable NFS server
This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel.  It should go in
2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series.

This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become
apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many
distros seem to be making it the default.

The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready
for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available.

It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither
of these set.  It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in
svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the
spin_lock.  They could be cleared immediately after the test and
before the lock is gained.

This normally shouldn't be a problem.  The sockets are non-blocking so
trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem.

However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or
should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not.  This usually
works but is not safe.  The decision should be based on whether it is
a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.
