As the mmap handler gets called under mmap_sem, and we may grab
mmap_sem elsewhere under the socket lock to access user data, we
should avoid grabbing the socket lock in the mmap handler.
Since the only thing we care about in the mmap handler is for
pg_vec* to be invariant, i.e., to exclude packet_set_ring, we
can achieve this by simply using a new mutex.

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.
These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.

It oopsd for me in skb_seq_read. addr2line said it was
linux-2.6/net/core/skbuff.c:2228, which is this line:
while (st->frag_idx < skb_shinfo(st->cur_skb)->nr_frags) {
I added some printks in there and it looks like we hit this:
} else if (st->root_skb == st->cur_skb &&
skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list) {
st->cur_skb = skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list;
st->frag_idx = 0;
goto next_skb;
}
Actually I did some testing and added a few printks and found that the
st->cur_skb->data was 0 and hence the ptr used by iscsi_tcp was null.
This caused the kernel panic.
if (abs_offset < block_limit) {
- *data = st->cur_skb->data + abs_offset;
+ *data = st->cur_skb->data + (abs_offset - st->stepped_offset);
I enabled the debug_tcp and with a few printks found that the code did
not go to the next_skb label and could find that the sequence being
followed was this -
It hit this if condition -
if (st->cur_skb->next) {
st->cur_skb = st->cur_skb->next;
st->frag_idx = 0;
goto next_skb;
And so, now the st pointer is shifted to the next skb whereas actually
it should have hit the second else if first since the data is in the
frag_list.
else if (st->root_skb == st->cur_skb &&
skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list) {
st->cur_skb = skb_shinfo(st->root_skb)->frag_list;
goto next_skb;
}

This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described
below. It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing
daemon against FreeBSD peers.
net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:
- Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets.
- Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can
be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly.
net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:
- Fix incoming PIM register messages processing:
* The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM
messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1).
* Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have
skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6.
- Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding
interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual
interface.
- Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling.
- Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6
multicast routing socket is opened/closed.
net/ipv6/route.c:
- Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM
register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4
case).

tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it
gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb,
and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still
wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then
splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes.
Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data.
In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than
skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice
data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len.
Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a
bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point)
resulting in duplicated data and corruption.
Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits.

commit 9088c56095
(udp: Improve port randomization) introduced a regression for UDP bind() syscall
to null port (getting a random port) in case lot of ports are already in use.
This is because we do about 28000 scans of very long chains (220 sockets per chain),
with many spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() calls.
Fix this using a bitmap (64 bytes for current value of UDP_HTABLE_SIZE)
so that we scan chains at most once.
Instead of 250 ms per bind() call, we get after patch a time of 2.9 ms

kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do

GPL-only symbols.
Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to

There is a race between sctp_rcv() and sctp_accept() where we
have moved the association from the listening socket to the
accepted socket, but sctp_rcv() processing cached the old
socket and continues to use it.
The easy solution is to check for the socket mismatch once we've
grabed the socket lock. If we hit a mis-match, that means
that were are currently holding the lock on the listening socket,
but the association is refrencing a newly accepted socket. We need
to drop the lock on the old socket and grab the lock on the new one.
A more proper solution might be to create accepted sockets when
the new association is established, similar to TCP. That would
eliminate the race for 1-to-1 style sockets, but it would still
existing for 1-to-many sockets where a user wished to peeloff an
association. For now, we'll live with this easy solution as
it addresses the problem.

Recent changes to the retransmit code exposed a long standing
bug where it was possible for a chunk to be time stamped
after the retransmit timer was reset. This caused a rare
situation where the retrnamist timer has expired, but
nothing was marked for retrnasmission because all of
timesamps on data were less then 1 rto ago. As result,
the timer was never restarted since nothing was retransmitted,
and this resulted in a hung association that did couldn't
complete the data transfer. The solution is to timestamp
the chunk when it's added to the packet for transmission
purposes. After the packet is trsnmitted the rtx timer
is restarted. This guarantees that when the timer expires,
there will be data to retransmit.

The trick in socket splicing where we try to convert the skb->data
into a page based reference using virt_to_page() does not work so
well.
The idea is to pass the virt_to_page() reference via the pipe
buffer, and refcount the buffer using a SKB reference.
But if we are splicing from a socket to a socket (via sendpage)
this doesn't work.
The from side processing will grab the page (and SKB) references.
The sendpage() calls will grab page references only, return, and
then the from side processing completes and drops the SKB ref.
The page based reference to skb->data is not enough to keep the
kmalloc() buffer backing it from being reused. Yet, that is
all that the socket send side has at this point.
This leads to data corruption if the skb->data buffer is reused
by SLAB before the send side socket actually gets the TX packet
out to the device.
The fix employed here is to simply allocate a page and copy the
skb->data bytes into that page.
This will hurt performance, but there is no clear way to fix this
properly without a copy at the present time, and it is important
to get rid of the data corruption.
With fixes from Herbert Xu.

This fixes a regression on disallowing bands introduced with the new
802.11d support. The issue is that IEEE-802.11 allows APs to send
a subset of what a country regulatory domain defines. This was clarified
in this document:
http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification
As such it is possible, and this is what is done in practice, that a
single band 2.4 GHz AP will only send 2.4 GHz band regulatory information
through the 802.11 country information element and then the current
intersection with what CRDA provided yields a regulatory domain with
no 5 GHz information -- even though that country may actually allow
5 GHz operation. We correct this by only applying the intersection rules
on a channel if the the intersection yields a regulatory rule on the
same band the channel is on.

When we get a GSO packet from an untrusted source, we need to
ensure that it is sufficiently long so that we don't end up
crashing.

When an skb with page frags is merged into an existing one, we
cannibalise its reference count. This is OK when the skb is
reused because we set nr_frags to zero in that case. However,
for the case where the skb is freed through kfree_skb, we didn't
clear nr_frags which causes the page to be freed prematurely.
This is fixed by moving the skb resetting into skb_gro_receive.

As GRO cannot be applied to packets with frag_list we need to
make sure that we reject such packets if they are fed to us,
e.g., through a tunnel device.
Also there is no point in applying GRO on GSO packets so they
too should be rejected. This allows GRO to be used in virtio-net
which may produce GSO packets directly but may still benefit
from GRO if the other end of it doesn't support GSO.
