We need rcu_read_lock() protection before using dst_get_neighbour(), and we must cache its value (pass it to __teql_resolve()) teql_master_xmit() is called under rcu_read_lock_bh() protection, its not enough.

A recent fix to the the NetLabel code caused build problem with configurations that did not have IPv6 enabled; see below: netlabel_kapi.c: In function 'netlbl_cfg_unlbl_map_add': netlabel_kapi.c:165:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'netlbl_af6list_add' This patch fixes this problem by making the IPv6 specific code conditional on the IPv6 configuration flags as we done in the rest of NetLabel and the network stack as a whole. We have to move some variable declarations around as a result so things may not be quite as pretty, but at least it builds cleanly now. Some additional IPv6 conditionals were added to the NetLabel code as well for the sake of consistency.

The check from commit 30c2235c is incomplete and cannot prevent cases like key_len = 0x80000000 (INT_MAX + 1). In that case, the left-hand side of the check (INT_MAX - key_len), which is unsigned, becomes 0xffffffff (UINT_MAX) and bypasses the check. However this shouldn't be a security issue. The function is called from the following two code paths: 1) setsockopt() 2) sctp_auth_asoc_set_secret() In case (1), sca_keylength is never going to exceed 65535 since it's bounded by a u16 from the user API. As such, the key length will never overflow. In case (2), sca_keylength is computed based on the user key (1 short) and 2 * key_vector (3 shorts) for a total of 7 * USHRT_MAX, which still will not overflow. In other words, this overflow check is not really necessary. Just make it more correct.

We need to set np->mcast_hops to it's default value at this moment otherwise when we use it and found it's value is -1, the logic to get default hop limit doesn't take multicast into account and will return wrong hop limit(IPV6_DEFAULT_HOPLIMIT) which is for unicast.

When a packet is supposed to sent be as an a-MPDU, mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU to let the driver know. On the other hand, mac80211 configures the driver for aggregration with the ampdu_action callback. There is race between these two mechanisms since the following scenario can occur when the BA agreement is torn down: Tx softIRQ drv configuration ========== ================= check OPERATIONAL bit Set the TX_CTL_AMPDU bit in the packet clear OPERATIONAL bit stop Tx AGG Pass Tx packet to the driver. In that case the driver would get a packet with TX_CTL_AMPDU set although it has already been notified that the BA session has been torn down. To fix this, we need to synchronize all the Qdisc activity after we cleared the OPERATIONAL bit. After that step, all the following packets will be buffered until the driver reports it is ready to get new packets for this RA / TID. This buffering allows not to run into another race that would send packets with TX_CTL_AMPDU unset while the driver hasn't been requested to tear down the BA session yet. This race occurs in practice and iwlwifi complains with a WARN_ON when it happens.

If addBA responses comes in just after addba_resp_timer has expired mac80211 will still accept it and try to open the aggregation session. This causes drivers to be confused and in some cases even crash. This patch fixes the race condition and makes sure that if addba_resp_timer has expired addBA response is not longer accepted and we do not try to open half-closed session.

Now inetpeer is the place where we cache redirect information for ipv4 destinations, we must be able to invalidate informations when a route is added/removed on host. As inetpeer is not yet namespace aware, this patch adds a shared redirect_genid, and a per inetpeer redirect_genid. This might be changed later if inetpeer becomes ns aware. Cache information for one inerpeer is valid as long as its redirect_genid has the same value than global redirect_genid.

When using l2tp over ipsec, the tunnel will hang when rekeying occurs. Reason is that the transformer bundle attached to the dst entry is now in STATE_DEAD and thus xfrm_output_one() drops all packets (XfrmOutStateExpired increases). Fix this by calling __sk_dst_check (which drops the stale dst if xfrm dst->check callback finds that the bundle is no longer valid).

The pmtu informations on the inetpeer are visible for output and input routes. On packet forwarding, we might propagate a learned pmtu to the sender. As we update the pmtu informations of the inetpeer on demand, the original sender of the forwarded packets might never notice when the pmtu to that inetpeer increases. So use the mtu of the outgoing device on packet forwarding instead of the pmtu to the final destination. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that we enable multiqueue by default the ehea driver is using quite a lot of memory for its buffer pools. With 4 queues we consume 64MB in the jumbo packet ring, 16MB in the medium packet ring and 16MB in the tiny packet ring. We should only fill the jumbo ring once the MTU is increased but for now halve it's size so it consumes 32MB. Also reduce the tiny packet ring, with 4 queues we had 16k entries which is overkill.

When transmiting a fragmented skb, qlge fills a descriptor with the fragment addresses, after DMA-mapping them. If there are more than eight fragments, it will use the eighth descriptor as a pointer to an external list. After mapping this external list, called OAL to a structure containing more descriptors, it fills it with the extra fragments. However, considering that systems with pages larger than 8KiB would have less than 8 fragments, which was true before commit a715dea3, it defined a macro for the OAL size as 0 in those cases. Now, if a skb with more than 8 fragments (counting skb->data as one fragment), this would start overwriting the list of addresses already mapped and would make the driver fail to properly unmap the right addresses on architectures with pages larger than 8KiB. Besides that, the list of mappings was one size too small, since it must have a mapping for the maxinum number of skb fragments plus one for skb->data and another for the OAL. So, even on architectures with page sizes 4KiB and 8KiB, a skb with the maximum number of fragments would make the driver overwrite its counter for the number of mappings, which, again, would make it fail to unmap the mapped DMA addresses.

Since linux 2.6.26 (commit c6aefafb : Add IPv6 support to TCP SYN cookies), we can drop a SYN packet reusing a TIME_WAIT socket. (As a matter of fact we fail to send the SYNACK answer) As the client resends its SYN packet after a one second timeout, we accept it, because first packet removed the TIME_WAIT socket before being dropped. This probably explains why nobody ever noticed or complained. Reported-by: Jesse Young <jlyo@jlyo.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
