      tcp: protect sysctl_tcp_cookie_size reads · f1987257
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Make sure sysctl_tcp_cookie_size is read once in
      tcp_cookie_size_check(), or we might return an illegal value to caller
      if sysctl_tcp_cookie_size is changed by another cpu.

      orinoco: fix TKIP countermeasure behaviour · 0a54917c
      David Kilroy authored
      Enable the port when disabling countermeasures, and disable it on
      enabling countermeasures.
      
      This bug causes the response of the system to certain attacks to be
      ineffective.
      
      It also prevents wpa_supplicant from getting scan results, as
      wpa_supplicant disables countermeasures on startup - preventing the
      hardware from scanning.
      
      wpa_supplicant works with ap_mode=2 despite this bug because the commit
      handler re-enables the port.
      
      The log tends to look like:
      
      State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING
      Starting AP scan for wildcard SSID
      Scan requested (ret=0) - scan timeout 5 seconds
      EAPOL: disable timer tick
      EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized
      Scan timeout - try to get results
      Failed to get scan results
      Failed to get scan results - try scanning again
      Setting scan request: 1 sec 0 usec
      Starting AP scan for wildcard SSID
      Scan requested (ret=-1) - scan timeout 5 seconds
      Failed to initiate AP scan.

      orinoco: clear countermeasure setting on commit · ba34fcee
      David Kilroy authored
      ... and interface up.
      
      In these situations, you are usually trying to connect to a new AP, so
      keeping TKIP countermeasures active is confusing. This is already how
      the driver behaves (inadvertently). However, querying SIOCGIWAUTH may
      tell userspace that countermeasures are active when they aren't.
      
      Clear the setting so that the reporting matches what the driver has
      done..

      Fix this by making a local copy of shared skbs prior to mangeling them.
      To avoid copying the skb unnecessarily move the skb_copy call below the
      checks that don't need write access to the skb.
      
      Also, move the assignment of nh_pos and h_pos below the skb_copy to point
      to the correct skb.
      
      It would be possible to avoid another resize of the copied skb by using
      skb_copy_expand instead of skb_copy but that would make the patch more
      complex. Also, shared skbs are a corner case right now, so the resize
      shouldn't matter much.

      Oh well, of course I must first fix the bug in net-2.6, and wait David
      pull the fix in net-next-2.6 before sending this rcu conversion.
      
      Note: this patch should be sent to stable teams (2.6.34 and up)
      
      [PATCH net-2.6] llc: fix a device refcount imbalance
      
      commit abf9d537 (llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE) added one
      refcount imbalance in llc_ui_bind(), because dev_getbyhwaddr() doesnt
      take a reference on device, while dev_get_by_index() does.
      
      Fix this using RCU locking. And since an RCU conversion will be done for
      2.6.38 for dev_getbyhwaddr(), put the rcu_read_lock/unlock exactly at
      their final place.
