Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) cfg80211_conn_scan() must be called with the sched_scan_mutex, fix from Artem Savkov. 2) Fix regression in TCP ICMPv6 processing, we do not want to treat redirects as socket errors, from Christoph Paasch. 3) Fix several recvmsg() msg_name kernel memory leaks into userspace, in ATM, AX25, Bluetooth, CAIF, IRDA, s390 IUCV, L2TP, LLC, Netrom, NFC, Rose, TIPC, and VSOCK. From Mathias Krause and Wei Yongjun. 4) Fix AF_IUCV handling of segmented SKBs in recvmsg(), from Ursula Braun and Eric Dumazet. 5) CAN gw.c code does kfree() on SLAB cache memory, use kmem_cache_free() instead. Fix from Wei Yongjun. 6) Fix LSM regression on TCP SYN/ACKs, some LSMs such as SELINUX want an skb->sk socket context available for these packets, but nothing else requires it. From Eric Dumazet and Paul Moore. 7) Fix ipv4 address lifetime processing so that we don't perform sleepable acts inside of rcu_read_lock() sections, do them in an rtnl_lock() section instead. From Jiri Pirko. 8) mvneta driver accidently sets HW features after device registry, it should do so beforehand. Fix from Willy Tarreau. 9) Fix bonding unload races more correctly, from Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav Falico. 10) rtnl_dump_ifinfo() and rtnl_calcit() invoke nlmsg_parse() with wrong header size argument. Fix from Michael Riesch. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (44 commits) lsm: add the missing documentation for the security_skb_owned_by() hook bnx2x: Prevent null pointer dereference in AFEX mode e100: Add dma mapping error check selinux: add a skb_owned_by() hook can: gw: use kmem_cache_free() instead of kfree() netrom: fix invalid use of sizeof in nr_recvmsg() qeth: fix qeth_wait_for_threads() deadlock for OSN devices af_iucv: fix recvmsg by replacing skb_pull() function rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length bonding: fix bonding_masters race condition in bond unloading Revert "bonding: remove sysfs before removing devices" net: mvneta: enable features before registering the driver hyperv: Fix RNDIS send_completion code path hyperv: Fix a kernel warning from netvsc_linkstatus_callback() net: ipv4: fix schedule while atomic bug in check_lifetime() net: ipv4: reset check_lifetime_work after changing lifetime bnx2x: Fix KR2 rapid link flap sctp: remove 'sridhar' from maintainers list VSOCK: Fix missing msg_namelen update in vsock_stream_recvmsg() VSOCK: vmci - fix possible info leak in vmci_transport_dgram_dequeue() ...

The cnic module is responsible for initializing various bnx2x structs via callbacks provided by the bnx2x module. One such struct is the queue object for the FCoE queue. If a device is working in AFEX mode and its configuration allows FCoE yet the cnic module is not loaded, it's very likely a null pointer dereference will occur, as the bnx2x will erroneously access the FCoE's queue object. Prevent said access until cnic properly registers itself.

Also a debug measure that could have waited for 3.10, but it's driver only, so I let it slip in. - Revert the loop partition cleanup fix, it could cause a deadlock on auto-teardown as part of umount.

Linus Torvalds authored
In UP and non-preempt respectively, the spinlocks and preemption disable/enable points are stubbed out entirely, because there is no regular code that can ever hit the kind of concurrency they are meant to protect against. However, while there is no regular code that can cause scheduling, we _do_ end up having some exceptional (literally!) code that can do so, and that we need to make sure does not ever get moved into the critical region by the compiler. In particular, get_user() and put_user() is generally implemented as inline asm statements (even if the inline asm may then make a call instruction to call out-of-line), and can obviously cause a page fault and IO as a result. If that inline asm has been scheduled into the middle of a preemption-safe (or spinlock-protected) code region, we obviously lose. Now, admittedly this is *very* unlikely to actually ever happen, and we've not seen examples of actual bugs related to this. But partly exactly because it's so hard to trigger and the resulting bug is so subtle, we should be extra careful to get this right. So make sure that even when preemption is disabled, and we don't have to generate any actual *code* to explicitly tell the system that we are in a preemption-disabled region, we need to at least tell the compiler not to move things around the critical region. This patch grew out of the same discussion that caused commits 79e5f05e ("ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions") and 3e2e0d2c ("tile: comment assumption about __insn_mtspr for <asm/irqflags.h>") to come about. Note for stable: use discretion when/if applying this. As mentioned, this bug may never have actually bitten anybody, and gcc may never have done the required code motion for it to possibly ever trigger in practice.

Commit 90ba9b19 (tcp: tcp_make_synack() can use alloc_skb()) broke certain SELinux/NetLabel configurations by no longer correctly assigning the sock to the outgoing SYNACK packet. Cost of atomic operations on the LISTEN socket is quite big, and we would like it to happen only if really needed.

ARC irqsave/restore macros were missing the compiler barrier, causing a stale load in irq-enabled region be used in irq-safe region, despite being changed, because the register holding the value was still live. The problem manifested as random crashes in timer code when stress testing ARCLinux (3.9-rc3) on a !SMP && !PREEMPT_COUNT Here's the exact sequence which caused this: (0). tv1[x] <----> t1 <---> t2 (1). mod_timer(t1) interrupted after it calls timer_pending() (2). mod_timer(t2) completes (3). mod_timer(t1) resumes but messes up the list (4). __runt_timers( ) uses bogus timer_list entry / crashes in timer->function Essentially mod_timer() was racing against itself and while the spinlock serialized the tv1[] timer link list, timer_pending() called outside the spinlock, cached timer link list element in a register. With low register pressure (and a deep register file), lack of barrier in raw_local_irqsave() as well as preempt_disable (!PREEMPT_COUNT version), there was nothing to force gcc to reload across the spinlock, causing a stale value in reg be used for link list manipulation - ensuing a corruption. ARcompact disassembly which shows the culprit generated code: mod_timer: push_s blink mov_s r13,r0 # timer, timer .. ###### timer_pending( ) ld_s r3,[r13] # <------ <variable>.entry.next LOADED brne r3, 0, @.L163 .L163: .. ###### spin_lock_irq( ) lr r5, [status32] # flags bic r4, r5, 6 # temp, flags, and.f 0, r5, 6 # flags, flag.nz r4 ###### detach_if_pending( ) begins tst_s r3,r3 <-------------- # timer_pending( ) checks timer->entry.next # r3 is NOT reloaded by gcc, using stale value beq.d @.L169 mov.eq r0,0 ##### detach_timer( ): __list_del( ) ld r4,[r13,4] # <variable>.entry.prev, D.31439 st r4,[r3,4] # <variable>.prev, D.31439 st r3,[r4] # <variable>.next, D.30246 We initially tried to fix this by adding barrier() to preempt_* macros for !PREEMPT_COUNT but Linus clarified that it was anything but wrong. http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1512709.html [vgupta: updated commitlog] Reported-by/Signed-off-by: Christian Ruppert <christian.ruppert@abilis.com> Cc: Christian Ruppert <christian.ruppert@abilis.com> Cc: Pierrick Hascoet <pierrick.hascoet@abilis.com> Debugged-by/Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull libata fixes from Jeff Garzik: "The HDIO_DRIVE_* fix is really the biggie. 1) Fix ATAPI regression, noticed mainly on tape drives, due to a commit which mistakenly changed an 'int' return type to a 'bool'. Broken by commit 4dce8ba9 ("libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX") 2) Add Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH ATAPI quirk 3) ata_piix: Intel Haswell platform quirk 4) Avoid DMA'ing to stack buffer, when obtaining DEVSLP timings. IMO a mild regression, given that libata previously did not DMA to a stack buffer. Broken by commit commit 803739d2 ("[libata] replace sata_settings with devslp_timing") 5) Fix regression impacting SMART and smartd, broken by commit 84a9a8cd ("[libata] Set proper SK when CK_COND is set")" * tag 'upstream-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev: [libata] Fix HDIO_DRIVE_* ioctl() Linux 3.9 regression libata: fix DMA to stack in reading devslp_timing parameters ata_piix: Fix DVD not dectected at some Haswell platforms libata: Set max sector to 65535 for Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH drive libata: Use integer return value for atapi_command_packet_set

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-3.9-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This includes three fixes. Two fix features added in 3.9 and one fixes a long time minor bug. The first patch fixes a race that can happen if the user switches from the irqsoff tracer to another tracer. If a irqs off latency is detected, it will try to use the snapshot buffer, but the new tracer wont have it allocated. There's a nasty warning that gets printed and the trace is ignored. Nothing crashes, just a nasty WARN_ON is shown. The second patch fixes an issue where if the sysctl is used to disable and enable function tracing, it can put the function tracing into an unstable state. The third patch fixes an issue with perf using the function tracer. An update was done, where the stub function could be called during the perf function tracing, and that stub function wont have the "control" flag set and cause a nasty warning when running perf." * tag 'trace-fixes-3.9-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loop ftrace: Consistently restore trace function on sysctl enabling tracing: Fix race with update_max_tr_single and changing tracers

Any recovery thread will deadlock when calling qeth_wait_for_threads(), most notably when triggering a recovery on an OSN device. This patch will store the recovery thread's task pointer on recovery invocation and check in qeth_wait_for_threads() respectively to avoid deadlocks.

While the bonding module is unloading, it is considered that after rtnl_link_unregister all bond devices are destroyed but since no synchronization mechanism exists, a new bond device can be created via bonding_masters before unregister_pernet_subsys which would lead to multiple problems (e.g. NULL pointer dereference, wrong RIP, list corruption). This patch fixes the issue by removing any bond devices left in the netns after bonding_masters is removed from sysfs.
