2008-06-04tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.Octavian Purdila
skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock. This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb" after the lock has been temporary dropped. Based on idea and initial patch from Evgeniy Polyakov.

Commit e9df2e8fd8fbc95c57dbd1d33dada66c4627b44c ("[IPV6]: Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup.") also changed the way that ECN capable transports mark this capability in IPv6. As a result, SCTP was not marking ECN capablity because the traffic class was never set. This patch brings back the markings for IPv6 traffic.

2008-06-04sctp: Flush the queue only once during fast retransmit.Vlad Yasevich
When fast retransmit is triggered by a sack, we should flush the queue only once so that only 1 retransmit happens. Also, since we could potentially have non-fast-rtx chunks on the retransmit queue, we need make sure any chunks eligable for fast retransmit are sent first during fast retransmission.

2008-06-04tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync conditionIlpo Järvinen
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases. In order for this to cause corruption: 1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated. 2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that in cache in the first place. 3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be updated on this iteration. ...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out by tcp_sacktag_one. It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK. Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)). Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero and reordering metric on RTO). This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have tried to help here. This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing & sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go through it just once there. Going through twice would have required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above, I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

2008-06-04tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))Ilpo Järvinen
It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions can easily cause this situation to occur. I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it likely involves some code shuffling). This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out miscount).

The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the real system HZ value which is problematic. Linux has standardized on keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running internally at some other value. This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of iproute2 utilities. But these utilities are already broken since they are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space.

2008-06-03bluetooth: rfcomm_dev_state_change deadlock fixDave Young
There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close: rfcomm_dlc_lock(d); d->state = BT_CLOSED; d->state_changed(d, err); rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d); In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to take the dlc lock, then we will deadlock. Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in rfcomm_dev_state_change. why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's another problem. rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add the lock order is : rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock. Actually it's a regression caused by commit 1905f6c736cb618e07eca0c96e60e3c024023428 ("bluetooth : __rfcomm_dlc_close lock fix"), the dlc state_change could be two callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change.

2008-05-29bluetooth: fix locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handlingArjan van de Ven
in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the following operation: if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) { /* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise * rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */ rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d); rfcomm_sock_kill(sk); rfcomm_dlc_lock(d); } } which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good. HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't going anywhere fast. This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like the other usages of the same call are doing in this code.

2008-05-28mac80211: Fix for NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get()Senthil Balasubramanian
This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get(). TID and sta_info are extracted in ADDBA Timer expiry function through the timer handler's argument. The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers. ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in stat_info_get(). The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8 instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming patches.

2008-05-28mac80211: reorder channel and freq reporting in wext scan reportTomas Winkler
This patch switch order of channel and freq (SIOCGIWFREQ) reports in scan results in order to overcome wpa_supplicant inability to handle channel numbers in 5.2Ghz band. Wext reporting channel number is ambiguous as channels 7-12 (802.11j) exist on both bands.

2008-05-27dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bugGerrit Renker
The identification of this bug is thanks to Cheng Wei and Tomasz Grobelny. To avoid divide-by-zero, the implementation previously ignored RTTs smaller than 4 microseconds when performing integer division RTT/4. When the RTT reached a value less than 4 microseconds (as observed on loopback), this prevented the Window Counter CCVal value from advancing. As a result, the receiver stopped sending feedback. This in turn caused non-ending expiries of the nofeedback timer at the sender, so that the sending rate was progressively reduced until reaching the minimum of one packet per 64 seconds. The patch fixes this bug by handling integer division more intelligently. Due to consistent use of dccp_sample_rtt(), divide-by-zero-RTT is avoided.
