Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain
unused. This probably originates from an early version of the
PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since
removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current
code does not make any use of this extra space.

This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make
use of the full frame size.

Augment raw_send_hdrinc to correct for incorrect ip header length values

A series of oopses was reported to me recently.  Apparently when using AF_RAW
sockets to send data to peers that were reachable via ipsec encapsulation,
people could panic or BUG halt their systems.

I've tracked the problem down to user space sending an invalid ip header over an
AF_RAW socket with IP_HDRINCL set to 1.

Basically what happens is that userspace sends down an ip frame that includes
only the header (no data), but sets the ip header ihl value to a large number,
one that is larger than the total amount of data passed to the sendmsg call.  In
raw_send_hdrincl, we allocate an skb based on the size of the data in the msghdr
that was passed in, but assume the data is all valid.  Later during ipsec
encapsulation, xfrm4_tranport_output moves the entire frame back in the skbuff
to provide headroom for the ipsec headers.  During this operation, the
skb->transport_header is repointed to a spot computed by
skb->network_header + the ip header length (ihl).  Since so little data was
passed in relative to the value of ihl provided by the raw socket, we point
transport header to an unknown location, resulting in various crashes.

This fix for this is pretty straightforward, simply validate the value of of
iph->ihl when sending over a raw socket.  If (iph->ihl*4U) > user data buffer
size, drop the frame and return -EINVAL.  I just confirmed this fixes the
reported crashes.

When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association
response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface
to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it
possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames.

A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a
failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such
frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients
(especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to
authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the
typo in the address comparison statement.

Recent commit "mac80211: fix logic error ibss merge bssid check" fixed
joining of ibss cell when static bssid is provided. In this case
ifibss->bssid is set before the cell is joined and comparing that address
to a bss should thus always succeed. Unfortunately this change broke the
other case of joining a ibss cell without providing a static bssid where
the value of ifibss->bssid is not set before the cell is joined.

Since ifibss->bssid may be set before or after joining the cell we do not
learn anything by comparing it to a known bss. Remove this check.

any traffic from client will change the request to established
socket allowing application to terminate it properly.
Also, do not drop acked request if sending of SYN-ACK fails.

Willy Tarreau and many other folks in recent years
were concerned what happens when the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period
expires for clients which sent ACK packet. They prefer clients
that actively resend ACK on our SYN-ACK retransmissions to be
converted from open requests to sockets and queued to the
listener for accepting after the deferring period is finished.
Then application server can decide to wait longer for data
or to properly terminate the connection with FIN if read()
returns EAGAIN which is an indication for accepting after
the deferring period. This change still can have side effects
for applications that expect always to see data on the accepted
socket. Others can be prepared to work in both modes (with or
without TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT period) and their data processing can
ignore the read=EAGAIN notification and to allocate resources for
clients which proved to have no data to send during the deferring
period. OTOH, servers that use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT=1 as flag (not
as a timeout) to wait for data will notice clients that didn't
send data for 3 seconds but that still resend ACKs.
Thanks to Willy Tarreau for the initial idea and to
Eric Dumazet for the review and testing the change.

I found a deadlock bug in UNIX domain socket, which makes able to DoS
attack against the local machine by non-root users.

How to reproduce:
1. Make a listening AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM socket with an abstruct
    namespace(*), and shutdown(2) it.
 2. Repeat connect(2)ing to the listening socket from the other sockets
    until the connection backlog is full-filled.
 3. connect(2) takes the CPU forever. If every core is taken, the
    system hangs.

PoC code: (Run as many times as cores on SMP machines.)

int main(void)
{
	int ret;
	int csd;
	int lsd;
	struct sockaddr_un sun;

	/* make an abstruct name address (*) */
	memset(&sun, 0, sizeof(sun));
	sun.sun_family = PF_UNIX;
	sprintf(&sun.sun_path[1], "%d", getpid());

	/* create the listening socket and shutdown */
	lsd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
	bind(lsd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun));
	listen(lsd, 1);
	shutdown(lsd, SHUT_RDWR);

	/* connect loop */
	alarm(15); /* forcely exit the loop after 15 sec */
	for (;;) {
		csd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
		ret = connect(csd, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun));
		if (-1 == ret) {
			perror("connect()");
			break;
		}
		puts("Connection OK");
	}
	return 0;
}

(*) Make sun_path[0] = 0 to use the abstruct namespace.
    If a file-based socket is used, the system doesn't deadlock because
    of context switches in the file system layer.

Why this happens:
 Error checks between unix_socket_connect() and unix_wait_for_peer() are
 inconsistent. The former calls the latter to wait until the backlog is
 processed. Despite the latter returns without doing anything when the
 socket is shutdown, the former doesn't check the shutdown state and
 just retries calling the latter forever.

Patch:
 The patch below adds shutdown check into unix_socket_connect(), so
 connect(2) to the shutdown socket will return -ECONREFUSED.

I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.

This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :

       TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
          Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
          on the socket.  Takes an integer value  (seconds), this
          can  bound  the  maximum  number  of attempts TCP will
          make to complete the connection. This option should not
          be used in code intended to be portable.

Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :

        case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
                if (val > 0) {
                        /* Translate value in seconds to number of
                         * retransmits */
                        while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
                               val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
                                       icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
                                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                        icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                }
                break;

==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.

But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx()

It may be possible to remove this requirement after a

improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around

When a scan completes, we call ieee80211_sta_find_ibss(),

done in software, there's no problem as both run from the
single-threaded mac80211 workqueue and are thus serialised
against each other, but with hardware scan the completion
can be in a different context and race against callers of
this function from the workqueue (e.g. due to beacon RX).
So instead of calling ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly,
just arm the timer and have it fire, scheduling the work,
which will invoke ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() (if that is
appropriate in the current state).

When receiving data frames, we can send them only to
the interface they belong to based on transmitting
station (this doesn't work for probe requests). Also,
don't try to handle other frames for AP_VLAN at all
since those interface should only receive data.

Additionally, the transmit side must check that the
station we're sending a frame to is actually on the
interface we're transmitting on, and not transmit
packets to functions that live on other interfaces,
so validate that as well.

Another bug fix is needed in sta_info.c where in the
VLAN case when adding/removing stations we overwrite
the sdata variable we still need.

A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones)
assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can
sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is
held around their invocation. This is almost always true now
except when reading from sysfs:

It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.

When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.

I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.

This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.

Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

tcp_splice_read() doesnt take into account socket's O_NONBLOCK flag

Before this patch :

splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE);
causes a random endless block (if pipe is full) and
splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK);
will return 0 immediately if the TCP buffer is empty.

User application has no way to instruct splice() that socket should be in blocking mode
but pipe in nonblock more.

Many projects cannot use splice(tcp -> pipe) because of this flaw.

http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=history;f=source3/lib/recvfile.c;h=ea0159642137390a0f7e57a123684e6e63e47581;hb=HEAD
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0807.2/0687.html

Linus introduced  SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK in commit 29e35094
(splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag )

  It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the
  actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they
  have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations
  nonblocking.

Linus intention was clear : let SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK control the splice pipe mode only

This patch instruct tcp_splice_read() to use the underlying file O_NONBLOCK
flag, as other socket operations do.

Users will then call :

splice(socket,0,pipe,0,128*1024,SPLICE_F_MOVE | SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK );

to block on data coming from socket (if file is in blocking mode),
and not block on pipe output (to avoid deadlock)

This patch against v2.6.31 adds support for route lookup using sk_mark in some 
more places. The benefits from this patch are the following.
First, SO_MARK option now has effect on UDP sockets too.
Second, ip_queue_xmit() and inet_sk_rebuild_header() could fail to do routing 
lookup correctly if TCP sockets with SO_MARK were used.

Acknowledge TCP window scale support by inserting the proper option in SYN/ACK
and SYN headers even if our window scale is zero.

This fixes the following observed behavior:

1. Client sends a SYN with TCP window scaling option and non zero window scale
value to a Linux box.
2. Linux box notes large receive window from client.
3. Linux decides on a zero value of window scale for its part.
4. Due to compare against requested window scale size option, Linux does not to
 send windows scale TCP option header on SYN/ACK at all.

With the following result:

Client box thinks TCP window scaling is not supported, since SYN/ACK had no
TCP window scale option, while Linux thinks that TCP window scaling is
supported (and scale might be non zero), since SYN had  TCP window scale
option and we have a mismatched idea between the client and server
regarding window sizes.

Probably it also fixes up the following bug (not observed in practice):

1. Linux box opens TCP connection to some server.
2. Linux decides on zero value of window scale.
3. Due to compare against computed window scale size option, Linux does
not to set windows scale TCP  option header on SYN.

With the expected result that the server OS does not use window scale option
due to not receiving such an option in the SYN headers, leading to suboptimal
performance.
