      ipv4: introduce ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward and protect forwarding path against pmtu spoofing · f87c10a8
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored 
      While forwarding we should not use the protocol path mtu to calculate
the mtu for a forwarded packet but instead use the interface mtu.

We mark forwarded skbs in ip_forward with IPSKB_FORWARDED, which was
introduced for multicast forwarding. But as it does not conflict with
our usage in unicast code path it is perfect for reuse.

I moved the functions ip_sk_accept_pmtu, ip_sk_use_pmtu and ip_skb_dst_mtu
along with the new ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward to net/ip.h to fix circular
dependencies because of IPSKB_FORWARDED.

Because someone might have written a software which does probe
destinations manually and expects the kernel to honour those path mtus
I introduced a new per-namespace "ip_forward_use_pmtu" knob so someone
can disable this new behaviour. We also still use mtus which are locked on a
route for forwarding.

The reason for this change is, that path mtus information can be injected
into the kernel via e.g. icmp_err protocol handler without verification
of local sockets. As such, this could cause the IPv4 forwarding path to
wrongfully emit fragmentation needed notifications or start to fragment
packets along a path.

Tunnel and ipsec output paths clear IPCB again, thus IPSKB_FORWARDED
won't be set and further fragmentation logic will use the path mtu to
determine the fragmentation size. They also recheck packet size with
help of path mtu discovery and report appropriate errors.

      qlcnic: Convert vmalloc/memset to kcalloc · f3c0773f
      Joe Perches authored 
      vmalloc is a limited resource.  Don't use it unnecessarily.

It seems this allocation should work with kcalloc.

Remove unnecessary memset(,0,) of buf as it's completely
overwritten as the previously only unset field in
struct qlcnic_pci_func_cfg is now set to 0.

Use kfree instead of vfree.
Use ETH_ALEN instead of 6.

      David S. Miller authored 
      Included changes:
- substitute FSF address with URL
- deselect current bat-GW when GW-client mode gets deactivated
- send every DHCP packet using bat-unicast messages when GW-client mode is
  enabled
- implement the Extended Isolation mechanism (it is an enhancement of the
  already existing batman-AP-isolation). This mechanism allows the user to drop
  packets exchanged by selected clients by using netfilter marks.
- fix typ0 in header guard
- minor code cleanups

      Merge branch 'tcp_metrics_saddr' · 795709af
      David S. Miller authored 
      Christoph Paasch says:

====================
Make tcp-metrics source-address aware

Currently tcp-metrics only stores per-destination addresses. This brings
problems, when a host has multiple interfaces (e.g., a smartphone having
WiFi/3G):

For example, a host contacting a server over WiFi will store the tcp-metrics
per destination IP. If then the host contacts the same server over 3G, the
same tcp-metrics will be used, although the path-characteristics are completly
different (e.g., the ssthresh is probably not the same).

In case of TFO this is not a problem, as the server will provide us a new cookie
once he saw our SYN+DATA with an incorrect cookie.
It may be (in case of carrier-grade NAT), that we keep the same public IP but
have a different private IP. Thus, we better reuse the old cookie even if our
source-IP has changed. However, this scenario is probably very uncommon, as
carriers try to provide the same src-IP to the clients behind their CGN.

Patches 1 + 2 add the source-IP to the tcp metrics.

Patches 3 to 5 modify the netlink-api to support the source-IP. From now on,
when using the command "ip tcp_metrics delete address ADDRESS" all entries
which match this destination IP will be deleted.

Today's iproute2 will complain when doing "ip tcp_metrics flush PREFIX" if
several entries are present for the same destination-IP but with different
source-IPs:

root@client:~/test# ip tcp_metrics
10.2.1.2 age 3.640sec rtt 16250us rttvar 15000us cwnd 10
10.2.1.2 age 4.030sec rtt 18750us rttvar 15000us cwnd 10
root@client:~/test# ip tcp_metrics flush 10.2.1.2/16
Failed to send flush request
: No such process

Follow-up patches will modify iproute2 to handle this correctly and allow
specifying the source-IP in the get/del commands.

v2: Added the patch that allows to selectively get/del of tcp-metrics based
    on src-IP and moved the patch that adds the new netlink attribute before
    the other patches.

      tcp: metrics: Add source-address to tcp-metrics · a5443028
      Christoph Paasch authored 
      We add the source-address to the tcp-metrics, so that different metrics
will be used per source/destination-pair. We use the destination-hash to
store the metric inside the hash-table. That way, deleting and dumping
via "ip tcp_metrics" is easy.

====================
Please pull these updates for the 3.14 stream!

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"Felix adds some helper functions for P2P NoA software tracking, Joe
fixes alignment (but as this apparently never caused issues I didn't
send it to 3.13), Kyeyoon/Jouni add QoS-mapping support (a Hotspot 2.0
feature), Weilong fixed a bunch of checkpatch errors and I get to play
fire-fighter or so and clean up other people's locking issues. I also
added nl80211 vendor-specific events, as we'd discussed at the wireless
summit."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"I have here a rework of the interrupt handling to meet RT kernel
requirements - basically we don't take any lock in the primary interrupt
handler. This gave me a good reason to clean things up a bit on the way.
There is also a fix of the QoS mapping along with a few workarounds for
hardware / firmware issues that are hard to hit.
Three fixes suggested by static analyzers, and other various stuff.
Most importantly, I update the Copyright note to include the new year."

For the bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"More patches to 3.14. The bulk of changes here is the 6LoWPAN support for
Bluetooth LE Devices. The commits that touches net/ieee802154/ are already
acked by David Miller. Other than that we have some RFCOMM fixes and
improvements plus fixes and clean ups all over the tree."

Beyond that, ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, and wil6210 get their usual
level of attention.  The wl1251 driver gets a number of updates,
and there are a handful of other bits here and there.
