The 'wwan' devtype is meant for devices that require preconfiguration and *every* time setup before the ethernet interface can be used, like cellular modems which require a series of setup commands on serial ports or other mechanisms before the ethernet interface will handle packets. As ipheth only requires one-per-hotplug pairing setup with no preconfiguration (like APN, phone #, etc) and the network interface is usable at any time after that initial setup, remove the incorrect devtype wwan.

commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation) added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port). Problem is that following sequence : fd = socket(...) connect(fd, &remote, ...) not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent) Sequence is : - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables [while local address is INADDR_ANY] - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP given by a route lookup. When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find socket because its local address changed. One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed. We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper. This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

Blackhole routes are used when xfrm_lookup() returns -EREMOTE (error triggered by IKE for example), hence this kind of route is always temporary and so we should check if a better route exists for next packets.

niu_get_ethtool_tcam_all() assumes that its output buffer is the right size, and warns before returning if it is not. However, the output buffer size is under user control and ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL is an unprivileged ethtool command. Therefore this is at least a local denial-of-service vulnerability. Change it to check before writing each entry and to return an error if the buffer is already full. Compile-tested only.

- Do not create expectation when forwarding the PORT command to avoid blocking the connection. The problem is that nf_conntrack_ftp.c:help() tries to create the same expectation later in POST_ROUTING and drops the packet with "dropping packet" message after failure in nf_ct_expect_related. - Change ip_vs_update_conntrack to alter the conntrack for related connections from real server. If we do not alter the reply in this direction the next packet from client sent to vport 20 comes as NEW connection. We alter it but may be some collision happens for both conntracks and the second conntrack gets destroyed immediately. The connection stucks too.

The patch: "gro: fix different skb headrooms" in its part: "2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list" is buggy. The copied skb has p->data set at the ip header at the moment, and skb_gro_offset is the length of ip + tcp headers. So, after the change the length of mac header is skipped. Later skb_set_mac_header() sets it into the NET_SKB_PAD area (if it's long enough) and ip header is misaligned at NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN offset. There is no reason to assume the original skb was wrongly allocated, so let's copy it as it was. bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16626 fixes commit: 3d3be433Reported-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@fs.uni-ruse.bg> Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> CC: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Tested-by: Plamen Petrov <pvp-lsts@fs.uni-ruse.bg> Signed-off-by: David S.

We assumed that unix_autobind() never fails if kzalloc() succeeded. But unix_autobind() allows only 1048576 names. If /proc/sys/fs/file-max is larger than 1048576 (e.g. systems with more than 10GB of RAM), a local user can consume all names using fork()/socket()/bind(). If all names are in use, those who call bind() with addr_len == sizeof(short) or connect()/sendmsg() with setsockopt(SO_PASSCRED) will continue while (1) yield(); loop at unix_autobind() till a name becomes available. This patch adds a loop counter in order to give up after 1048576 attempts. Calling yield() for once per 256 attempts may not be sufficient when many names are already in use, for __unix_find_socket_byname() can take long time under such circumstance. Therefore, this patch also adds cond_resched() call. Note that currently a local user can consume 2GB of kernel memory if the user is allowed to create and autobind 1048576 UNIX domain sockets. We should consider adding some restriction for autobind operation. Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is an off by one. We would go past the end when we NUL terminate the "value" string at end of the function. The "value" buffer is allocated in irlan_client_parse_response() or irlan_provider_parse_command(). CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This fixes a bug introduced in commit de847272 "3c59x: Use fine-grained locks for MII and windowed register access". vortex_interrupt() holds vp->window_lock over multiple register accesses to reduce locking overhead. However it also needs to call vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock again. Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set the window afterward reacquiring the lock. Since vortex_error() may call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock, lift that call up into vortex_interrupt(). This also removes the potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC.

When a net device is implementing the select_queue callback and is part of a bridge, frames coming from the bridge already have a tx queue associated to the socket (introduced in commit a4ee3ce3, "net: Use sk_tx_queue_mapping for connected sockets"). The call to sk_tx_queue_get will then return the tx queue used by the bridge instead of calling the select_queue callback. In case of mac80211 this broke QoS which is implemented by using the select_queue callback. Furthermore it introduced problems with rt2x00 because frames with the same TID and RA sometimes appeared on different tx queues which the hw cannot handle correctly. Fix this by always calling select_queue first if it is available and only afterwards use the socket tx queue mapping. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() functions operate on unsigned long and only work if the difference between the two compared values is smaller than half the range of unsigned long (31 bits on i386). Some of the variables (slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start, dev->last_rx) used by bonding store a copy of jiffies and may not be updated for a long time. With HZ=1000, time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() will start giving bad results after ~25 days. jiffies will never be before slave->jiffies, dev->trans_start, dev->last_rx by more than possibly a couple ticks caused by preemption of this code. This allows us to detect/prevent these overflows by replacing time_before_eq()/time_after_eq() with time_in_range().
