commit 35f9c09f (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once) added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all frags but the last one for a splice() call. The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe, or a smaller one. But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails. The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP sessions. We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1) Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection and test programs.

When using nanosleep() in an userspace application we get a ratelimit warning NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 for 10 times. This patch replaces netif_rx() with netif_rx_ni() which has to be used from process/softirq context. The process/softirq context will be called from fakelb driver.

Ath9k consists of 2 different sub-modules: ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC. Both uses common Atheros code from ath.ko and need ATH_COMMON. However, while ATH9K selects ATH_COMMON, ATH9K_HTC does not. As result, if ATH9K_HTC is the only Atheros card selected, compilation fails with unresolved symbols. This patch moves ATH_COMMON selection to the common part for both ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev <qca_vkondrat@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Commit 63233159: bridge: Do not unregister all PF_BRIDGE rtnl operations introduced a bug where a removal of a single bridge from a multi-bridge system would remove MDB netlink handlers. The handlers should only be removed once all bridges are gone, but since we don't keep track of the number of bridge interfaces, it's simpler to do it when the bridge module is unloaded. To make it consistent, move the registration code into module initialization code path. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

wlc_lcnphy_rx_iq_cal_gain is called during initialization, i. e. when executing brcms_up. But brcms_up is called from brcms_ops_start while the latter holds a spin lock.

Sean reported that as of 3.7, his AR9170 device no longer works because the driver fails during initialization. He noted this is due to: "In carl9170/fw.c, ar->hw->wiphy is tagged with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT support if the firmware has Content after Beacon Queuing. This is both in interface_modes and the only iface_combinations entry. If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, ieee80211_register_hw removes NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT from interface_modes, but not iface_combinations. wiphy_register then checks to see if every interface type in every interface combination is in interface_modes. NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT was removed, so you get a WARN_ON warning and it returns -EINVAL, giving up." Unfortunately, the iface_combination (types) feature bitmap in ieee80211_iface_limit is part of a const member in the ieee80211_iface_combination struct. Hence, the MESH_POINT feature flag can't be masked by wiphy_register in the same way as interface_modes in ieee80211_register_hw.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== The following batch contains Netfilter fixes for 3.8-rc1. They are a mixture of old bugs that have passed unnoticed (I'll pass these to stable) and more fresh ones from the previous merge window, they are: * Fix for MAC address in 6in4 tunnels via NFLOG that results in ulogd showing up wrong address, from Bob Hockney. * Fix a comment in nf_conntrack_ipv6, from Florent Fourcot. * Fix a leak an error path in ctnetlink while creating an expectation, from Jesper Juhl. * Fix missing ICMP time exceeded in the IPv6 defragmentation code, from Haibo Xi. * Fix inconsistent handling of routing changes in MASQUERADE for the new connections case, from Andrew Collins. * Fix a missing skb_reset_transport in ip[6]t_REJECT that leads to crashes in the ixgbe driver (since it seems to access the transport header with TSO enabled), from Mukund Jampala. * Recover obsoleted NOTRACK target by including it into the CT and spot a warning via printk about being obsoleted. Many people don't check the scheduled to be removal file under Documentation, so we follow some less agressive approach to kill this in a year or so. Spotted by Florian Westphal, patch from myself. * Fix race condition in xt_hashlimit that allows to create two or more entries, from myself. * Fix crash if the CT is used due to the recently added facilities to consult the dying and unconfirmed conntrack lists, from myself. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

ip6gre_xmit2() incorrectly sets transport header to inner payload instead of GRE header. It seems copy-and-pasted from ipip.c. Set transport header to gre header. (In ipip case the transport header is the inner ip header, so that's correct.) Found by inspection. In practice the incorrect transport header doesn't matter because the skb usually is sent to another net_device or socket, so the transport header isn't referenced.

In commit 96e0bf4b (tcp: Discard segments that ack data not yet sent) John Dykstra enforced a check against ack sequences. In commit 354e4aa3 (tcp: RFC 5961 5.2 Blind Data Injection Attack Mitigation) I added more safety tests. But we missed fact that these tests are not performed if ACK bit is not set. RFC 793 3.9 mandates TCP should drop a frame without ACK flag set. " fifth check the ACK field, if the ACK bit is off drop the segment and return" Not doing so permits an attacker to only guess an acceptable sequence number, evading stronger checks. Many thanks to Zhiyun Qian for bringing this issue to our attention.
