eeaf61d889 bridge: add rcu_read_lock on transmit
Long ago, when bridge was converted to RCU, rcu lock was equivalent
to having preempt disabled. RCU has changed a lot since then and
bridge code was still assuming the since transmit was called with
bottom half disabled, it was RCU safe.

32162a4dab mac80211: Fix key freeing to handle unlinked keys
Key locking simplification removed key->sdata != NULL verification from
ieee80211_key_free(). While that is fine for most use cases, there is one
path where this function can be called with an unlinked key (i.e.,
key->sdata == NULL && key->local == NULL). This results in a NULL pointer
dereference with the current implementation. This is known to happen at
least with FT protocol when wpa_supplicant tries to configure the key
before association.

Avoid the issue by passing in the local pointer to
ieee80211_key_free(). In addition, do not clear the key from hw_accel
or debugfs if it has not yet been added. At least the hw_accel one could
trigger another NULL pointer dereference.

Note that 107 == 0x6b which is slab poison.

The reason is that mac80211 passed a freed station
pointer to mac80211, because as it happened iwlwifi
reset itself while mac80211 was disconnecting from
the network.

It turns out that we do take care to look up the
station pointer in ieee80211_tx_pending_skb, but
then don't use it, which obviously is a bug. Fix
this by removing the ieee80211_tx_h_sta handler
and assigning the station pointer directly.

This fixes hang when target device of mirred packet classifier
action is removed.

If a mirror or redirection action is configured to cause packets
to go to another device, the classifier holds a ref count, but was assuming
the adminstrator cleaned up all redirections before removing. The fix
is to add a notifier and cleanup during unregister.

The new list is implicitly protected by RTNL mutex because
it is held during filter add/delete as well as notifier.

c1f79426e2 sysfs: add attribute to indicate hw address assignment type
Add addr_assign_type to struct net_device and expose it via sysfs.
This new attribute has the purpose of giving user-space the ability to
distinguish between different assignment types of MAC addresses.

For example user-space can treat NICs with randomly generated MAC
addresses differently than NICs that have permanent (locally assigned)
MAC addresses.
For the former udev could write a persistent net rule by matching the
device path instead of the MAC address.
There's also the case of devices that 'steal' MAC addresses from slave
devices. In which it is also be beneficial for user-space to be aware
of the fact.

This patch also introduces a helper function to assist adoption of
drivers that generate MAC addresses randomly.

e8648a1fdb netfilter: add xt_cpu match
In some situations a CPU match permits a better spreading of
connections, or select targets only for a given cpu.

With Remote Packet Steering or multiqueue NIC and appropriate IRQ
affinities, we can distribute trafic on available cpus, per session.
(all RX packets for a given flow is handled by a given cpu)

Some legacy applications being not SMP friendly, one way to scale a
server is to run multiple copies of them.

Instead of randomly choosing an instance, we can use the cpu number as a
key so that softirq handler for a whole instance is running on a single
cpu, maximizing cache effects in TCP/UDP stacks.

Using NAT for example, a four ways machine might run four copies of
server application, using a separate listening port for each instance,
but still presenting an unique external port :

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 0 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 1 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 2 \
        -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu 3 \

7f1c407579 IPVS: make FTP work with full NAT support
Use nf_conntrack/nf_nat code to do the packet mangling and the TCP
sequence adjusting.  The function 'ip_vs_skb_replace' is now dead
code, so it is removed.

To SNAT FTP, use something like:

% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
    --vport 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
and for the data connections in passive mode:

% iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m ipvs --vaddr 192.168.100.30/32 \
    --vportctl 21 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.10
using '-m state --state RELATED' would also works.

Make sure the kernel modules ip_vs_ftp, nf_conntrack_ftp, and
nf_nat_ftp are loaded.

b77026b391 caif: precedence bug
Negate has precedence over comparison so the original assert only
checked that "rfml->fragment_size" was larger than 1 or 0.

00c5a9834b net: Fix corruption of skb csum field in pskb_expand_head() of net/core/skbuff.c
Make pskb_expand_head() check ip_summed to make sure csum_start is really
csum_start and not csum before adjusting it.

This fixes a bug I encountered using a Sun Quad-Fast Ethernet card and VLANs.
On my configuration, the sunhme driver produces skbs with differing amounts
of headroom on receive depending on the packet size.  See line 2030 of
drivers/net/sunhme.c; packets smaller than RX_COPY_THRESHOLD have 52 bytes
of headroom but packets larger than that cutoff have only 20 bytes.

When these packets reach the VLAN driver, vlan_check_reorder_header()
calls skb_cow(), which, if the packet has less than NET_SKB_PAD (== 32) bytes
of headroom, uses pskb_expand_head() to make more.

Then, pskb_expand_head() needs to adjust a lot of offsets into the skb,
including csum_start.  Since csum_start is a union with csum, if the packet
has a valid csum value this will corrupt it, which was the effect I observed.
The sunhme hardware computes receive checksums, so the skbs would be created
by the driver with ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and a valid csum field, and
then pskb_expand_head() would corrupt the csum field, leading to an "hw csum
error" message later on, for example in icmp_rcv() for pings larger than the
sunhme RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.

On the basis of the comment at the beginning of include/linux/skbuff.h,
I believe that the csum_start skb field is only meaningful if ip_csummed is
CSUM_PARTIAL, so this patch makes pskb_expand_head() adjust it only in that
case to avoid corrupting a valid csum value.

Please see my more in-depth disucssion of tracking down this bug for
more details if you like:

7a17a33c0d mac80211: proper IBSS locking
IBSS has never had locking, instead relying on some
memory barriers etc. That's hard to get right, and
I think we had it wrong too until the previous patch.
Since this is not performance sensitive, it doesn't
make sense to have the maintenance overhead of that,
so add proper locking.
