commit 81adee47dfb608df3ad0b91d230fb3cef75f0060

net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.
We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

Where apparently I forgot to add error handling to the path where we create
a new network device in a new network namespace, and pass in an invalid pid.

stored a ref to the current cred struct in struct scm_cookie. This was fine
with AF_UNIX as that calls scm_destroy() from its packet sending functions, but
AF_NETLINK, which also uses scm_send(), does not call scm_destroy() - meaning
that the copied credentials leak each time SCM data is sent over a netlink
socket.
This can be triggered quite simply on a Fedora 13 or 14 userspace with the
2.6.35.11 kernel (or something based off of that) by calling:
#!/bin/bash
for ((i=0; i<100; i++))
do
su - -c /bin/true
cut -d: -f1 /proc/slabinfo | grep 'cred\|key\|task_struct'
cat /proc/keys | wc -l
done
This leaks the session key that pam_keyinit creates for 'su -', which appears
in /proc/keys as being revoked (has the R flag set against it) afterward su is
called.
Furthermore, if CONFIG_SLAB=y, then the cred and key slab object usage counts
can be viewed and seen to increase. The key slab increases by one object per
loop, and this can be seen after the system has had a couple of minutes to
stand after the script above has been run on it.
If the system is working correctly, the key and cred counts should return to
roughly what they were before.
This patch from upstream (b47030c71dfd6c8cd5cb6e551b6f7f7cfc96f6a6) is needed
to fix the problem:
===============================================================================
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
af_netlink: Add needed scm_destroy after scm_send.
scm_send occasionally allocates state in the scm_cookie, so I have
modified netlink_sendmsg to guarantee that when scm_send succeeds
scm_destory will be called to free that state.

In 135367b "netfilter: xtables: change xt_target.checkentry return type",
the type returned by checkentry was changed from boolean to int, but the
return values where not adjusted.
arptables: Input/output error
This broke arptables with the mangle target since it returns true
under success, which is interpreted by xtables as >0, thus
returning EIO.

This field is used to determine the inactivity time. When in AP mode,
hostapd uses it for kicking out inactive clients after a while. Without this
patch, hostapd immediately deauthenticates a new client if it checks the
inactivity time before the client sends its first data frame.

If we call xs_close(), we're in one of two situations:
- Autoclose, which means we don't expect to resend a request
- bind+connect failed, which probably means the port is in use

This fixes a race in which the task->tk_callback() puts the rpc_task
to sleep, setting a new callback. Under certain circumstances, the current
code may end up executing the task->tk_action before it gets round to the

commit 8909c9ad8ff03611c9c96c9a92656213e4bb495b upstream.
Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.
This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019.
Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".
Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

can ensue when we access memory beyond the end of the array.

commit d11327ad6695db8117c78d70611e71102ceec2ac upstream.
NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link
notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link
notifications as a sort of side effect.
In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link
notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is
flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit
request from a driver.
This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we
could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on.
This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause
switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

commit 720dc34bbbe9493c7bd48b2243058b4e447a929d upstream.
This fixes a bug in the order of dccp_rcv_state_process() that still permitted
reception even after closing the socket. A Reset after close thus causes a NULL
pointer dereference by not preventing operations on an already torn-down socket.

commit 51e97a12bef19b7e43199fc153cf9bd5f2140362 upstream.
The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids
array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is
returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id
in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the
id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an
out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent
function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets
the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be
returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

Commit: 75e1056f5c57050415b64cb761a3acc35d91f013 upstream
Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html
The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.
Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.
Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.
Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
to in_serving_softirq.
Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

Patch cab9e9848b9a8283b0504a2d7c435a9f5ba026de to the 2.6.35.y stable tree
stored a ref to the current cred struct in struct scm_cookie. This was fine
with AF_UNIX as that calls scm_destroy() from its packet sending functions, but
AF_NETLINK, which also uses scm_send(), does not call scm_destroy() - meaning
that the copied credentials leak each time SCM data is sent over a netlink
socket.
This can be triggered quite simply on a Fedora 13 or 14 userspace with the
2.6.35.11 kernel (or something based off of that) by calling:
#!/bin/bash
for ((i=0; i<100; i++))
do
su - -c /bin/true
cut -d: -f1 /proc/slabinfo | grep 'cred\|key\|task_struct'
cat /proc/keys | wc -l
done
This leaks the session key that pam_keyinit creates for 'su -', which appears
in /proc/keys as being revoked (has the R flag set against it) afterward su is
called.
Furthermore, if CONFIG_SLAB=y, then the cred and key slab object usage counts
can be viewed and seen to increase. The key slab increases by one object per
loop, and this can be seen after the system has had a couple of minutes to
stand after the script above has been run on it.
If the system is working correctly, the key and cred counts should return to
roughly what they were before.

Problem is we can have several clones sharing a common sk_filter, and
these clones might want to sk_filter_attach() their own filters at the

We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do

Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an
exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others.
lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8
This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a
recursion limit.
Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.
Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.
Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
when socket receive queue is emptied.

[ Upstream commit 9915672d41273f5b77f1b3c29b391ffb7732b84b ]
Vegard Nossum found a unix socket OOM was possible, posting an exploit
program.
My analysis is we can eat all LOWMEM memory before unix_gc() being
called from unix_release_sock(). Moreover, the thread blocked in
unix_gc() can consume huge amount of time to perform cleanup because of
huge working set.
One way to handle this is to have a sensible limit on unix_tot_inflight,
tested from wait_for_unix_gc() and to force a call to unix_gc() if this
limit is hit.
This solves the OOM and also reduce overall latencies, and should not
slowdown normal workloads.

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 abf9d537fea225 (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.

commit ed2849d3ecfa339435818eeff28f6c3424300cec upstream.
When an xprt is created, it has a refcount of 1, and XPT_BUSY is set.
The refcount is *not* owned by the thread that created the xprt
(as is clear from the fact that creators never put the reference).
Rather, it is owned by the absence of XPT_DEAD. Once XPT_DEAD is set,
(And XPT_BUSY is clear) that initial reference is dropped and the xprt
can be freed.
So when a creator clears XPT_BUSY it is dropping its only reference and
so must not touch the xprt again.
However svc_recv, after calling ->xpo_accept (and so getting an XPT_BUSY
reference on a new xprt), calls svc_xprt_recieved. This clears
XPT_BUSY and then svc_xprt_enqueue - this last without owning a reference.
This is dangerous and has been seen to leave svc_xprt_enqueue working
with an xprt containing garbage.
So we need to hold an extra counted reference over that call to
svc_xprt_received.
For safety, any time we clear XPT_BUSY and then use the xprt again, we
first get a reference, and the put it again afterwards.
Note that svc_close_all does not need this extra protection as there are
no threads running, and the final free can only be called asynchronously
from such a thread.
