net_sched: better precise estimation on packet length for untrusted packets

2013-06-27T17:39:08Z

[ Upstream commit 15e5a030716468dce4032fa0f398d840fa2756f6 ] gso_segs were reset to zero when kernel receive packets from untrusted source. But we use this zero value to estimate precise packet len which is wrong. So this patch tries to estimate the correct gso_segs value before using it in qdisc_pkt_len_init().

ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field

2013-05-19T18:38:38Z

[ Upstream commit f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2 ] We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established() After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true. Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP and TCP stacks. Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field. This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891 ("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc") TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field. At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

net: rate-limit warn-bad-offload splats.

2013-04-19T21:57:49Z

If one does do something unfortunate and allow a bad offload bug into the kernel, this the skb_warn_bad_offload can effectively live-lock the system, filling the logs with the same error over and over. Add rate limitation to this so that box remains otherwise functional in this case. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset()

2013-04-05T19:38:10Z

Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly.

2013-04-05T04:18:46Z

A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) sadb_msg prepared for IPSEC userspace forgets to initialize the satype field, fix from Nicolas Dichtel. 2) Fix mac80211 synchronization during station removal, from Johannes Berg. 3) Fix IPSEC sequence number notifications when they wrap, from Steffen Klassert. 4) Fix cfg80211 wdev tracing crashes when add_virtual_intf() returns an error pointer, from Johannes Berg. 5) In mac80211, don't call into the channel context code with the interface list mutex held. From Johannes Berg. 6) In mac80211, if we don't actually associate, do not restart the STA timer, otherwise we can crash. From Ben Greear. 7) Missing dma_mapping_error() check in e1000, ixgb, and e1000e.
