David S. Miller ec0a196626 tcp: Revert 'process defer accept as established' changes.
This reverts two changesets, ec3c0982a2
("[TCP]: TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT updates - process as established") and
the follow-on bug fix 9ae27e0adb
("tcp: Fix slab corruption with ipv6 and tcp6fuzz").

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.

Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems.  The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.

Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock.  The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.

Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:

----------------------------------------
>--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c
>@@ -481,6 +481,11 @@ static void tcp_keepalive_timer (unsigned long data)
> 		goto death;
> 	}
>
>+	if (tp->defer_tcp_accept.request && sk->sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) {
>+		tcp_send_active_reset(sk, GFP_ATOMIC);
>+		goto death;

Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------

Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:

----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------

So revert this thing for now.

Benjamin Thery 3de232554a ipv6 netns: Address labels per namespace
This pacth makes IPv6 address labels per network namespace.
It keeps the global label tables, ip6addrlbl_table, but
adds a 'net' member to each ip6addrlbl_entry.
This new member is taken into account when matching labels.

Changelog
=========
* v1: Initial version
* v2:
  * Minize the penalty when network namespaces are not configured:
      *  the 'net' member is added only if CONFIG_NET_NS is
         defined. This saves space when network namespaces are not
         configured.
      * 'net' value is retrieved with the inlined function
         ip6addrlbl_net() that always return &init_net when
         CONFIG_NET_NS is not defined.
  * 'net' member in ip6addrlbl_entry renamed to the less generic
    'lbl_net' name (helps code search).

Fabian Hugelshofer 718d4ad98e netfilter: nf_conntrack: properly account terminating packets
Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing
abnormal termination.

Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on
conntrack kill. The new function was necessary, because there are calls
to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting:

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847:
Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice.

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880:
Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped
packets.

nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824:
As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a
conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think
this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not
desired.

James Morris 560ee653b6 netfilter: ip_tables: add iptables security table for mandatory access control rules
The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so
that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to
standard DAC rules.

This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based
network controls, per various previous discussions.

The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools
and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy
management.

The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle
table to prevent breakage of existing users.

Thomas Graf b9a2f2e450 netlink: Fix nla_parse_nested_compat() to call nla_parse() directly
The purpose of nla_parse_nested_compat() is to parse attributes which
contain a struct followed by a stream of nested attributes.  So far,
it called nla_parse_nested() to parse the stream of nested attributes
which was wrong, as nla_parse_nested() expects a container attribute
as data which holds the attribute stream.  It needs to call
nla_parse() directly while pointing at the next possible alignment
point after the struct in the beginning of the attribute.

With this patch, I can no longer reproduce the reported leftover
warnings.

Ivo van Doorn 2f561feb38 mac80211: Add RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces
Since commit e38bad4766
	mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl
rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access
in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware).

This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock,
and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name:
	ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic()

So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those
drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces().
Since they already call that function directly, this patch will automatically
fix the USB rt2x00 drivers.

This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of

Bruno Randolf 566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

Allan Stephens 7ef43ebaa5 tipc: Fix race condition when creating socket or native port
This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting
from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly
receiving a message.  Now, during the creation of a socket or native
port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all
initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.
