      netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: restrict RTP expect flushing on error to last request · ef75d49f
      Patrick McHardy authored
      Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for
      example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and
      "123" back to back.  The first requests will elicit error responses
      from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP
      expectations even though we might still see a positive response.
      
      Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a
      media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a
      negative response for that sequence number.

      macvlan: Fix memleak on device removal/crash on module removal · 73120964
      Patrick McHardy authored
      As noticed by Ben Greear, macvlan crashes the kernel when unloading the
      module. The reason is that it tries to clean up the macvlan_port pointer
      on the macvlan device itself instead of the underlying device. A non-NULL
      pointer is taken as indication that the macvlan_handle_frame_hook is
      valid, when receiving the next packet on the underlying device it tries
      to call the NULL hook and crashes.
      
      Clean up the macvlan_port on the correct device to fix this.

      RFC 1122 does not have a section 3.1.2.2. The requirement to silently
      discard datagrams with a bad checksum is in section 3.2.1.2 instead.

      tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewReno · 62ab2227
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which
      is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error
      that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's
      a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that
      I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit).
      
      There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting
      incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow.
      This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno
      if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO.
      
      An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly
      considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions
      though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during
      fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO.
      In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only
      one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue.
      The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events
      making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow.
      
      In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur
      again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as
      well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most
      frequently with some small devices such as network printers
      that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases
      were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically
      resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be
      retransmitted in order to continue.
      
      I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few
      reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some
      cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now
      to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla
      #10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com>
      had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it
      for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure
      out.

      niu: Fix probing regression for maramba on-board chips. · be0c007a
      David S. Miller authored
      Changeset 7f7c4072 ("niu: Determine
      the # of ports from the card's VPD data") caused maramba on-board
      NIU ports to stop probing properly.
      
      The old code had a fallback that would use a num_ports value of
      4 if all the probing methods failed, but that was removed.
      
      This restores the fallback of 4 ports, to get things working
      again.
      
      Bump driver version and release date.

      sch_htb: remove from event queue in htb_parent_to_leaf() · 3ba08b00
      Jarek Poplawski authored
      There is lack of removing a class from the event queue while changing
      from parent to leaf which can cause corruption of this rb tree. This
      patch fixes a bug introduced by my patch: "sch_htb: turn intermediate
      classes into leaves" commit: 160d5e10.
      
      Many thanks to Jan 'yanek' Bortl for finding a way to reproduce this
      rare bug and narrowing the test case, which made possible proper
      diagnosing.
      
      This patch is recommended for all kernels starting from 2.6.20.

      netns: Fix device renaming for sysfs · aaf8cdc3
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the
      'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is
      used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename
      function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is
      an object with the same name and this is the case because we are
      renaming the object with the same name.
      
      The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't
      rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a
      mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions
      'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual
      network device [un]registering.
      
      This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject,
      followed by netdev_register_kobject.
      
      The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise
      a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to
      fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function
      and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into
      register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in
      'dev_change_net_namespace'.
      
      This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is
      coming from -mm tree.
