Amos Waterland f33e1d9fa2 [IPV4]: Updates to nfsroot documentation
The difference between ip=off and ip=::::::off has been a cause of much
confusion.  Document how each behaves, and do not contradict ourselves by
saying that "off" is the default when in fact "any" is the default and is
descibed as being so lower in the file.

Andrew Morton 98eb5683fb [TIPC]: Fix semaphore handling.
As noted by Kevin, tipc's release() does down_interruptible() and
ignores the return value.  So if signal_pending() we'll end up doing
up() on a non-downed semaphore.  Fix.

Paul Moore 9ab4c954ce [XFRM]: Display the audited SPI value in host byte order.
Currently the IPsec protocol SPI values are written to the audit log in
network byte order which is different from almost all other values which
are recorded in host byte order.  This patch corrects this inconsistency
by writing the SPI values to the audit record in host byte order.

Patrick McHardy a18aa31b77 [NETFILTER]: ip_tables: fix compat copy race
When copying entries to user, the kernel makes two passes through the
data, first copying all the entries, then fixing up names and counters.
On the second pass it copies the kernel and match data from userspace
to the kernel again to find the corresponding structures, expecting
that kernel pointers contained in the data are still valid.

This is obviously broken, fix by avoiding the second pass completely
and fixing names and counters while dumping the ruleset, using the
kernel-internal data structures.

Pavel Emelyanov 3f03e38789 [VLAN]: Fix potential race in vlan_cleanup_module vs vlan_ioctl_handler.
The vlan module cleanup function starts with

	vlan_netlink_fini();
	vlan_ioctl_set(NULL);

The first call removes all the vlan devices and
the second one closes the vlan ioctl.

AFAIS there's a tiny race window between these two
calls - after rtnl unregistered all the vlans, but
the ioctl handler isn't set to NULL yet, user can
manage to call this ioctl and create one vlan device,
and that this function will later BUG_ON seeing
non-emply hashes.

I think, that we must first close the vlan ioctl
and only after this remove all the vlans with the
vlan_netlink_fini() call.

Ilpo Järvinen 3e6f049e0c [TCP] FRTO: Use of existing funcs make code more obvious & robust
Though there's little need for everything that tcp_may_send_now
does (actually, even the state had to be adjusted to pass some
checks FRTO does not want to occur), it's more robust to let it
make the decision if sending is allowed. State adjustments
needed:
- Make sure snd_cwnd limit is not hit in there
- Disable nagle (if necessary) through the frto_counter == 2

The result of check for frto_counter in argument to call for
tcp_enter_frto_loss can just be open coded, therefore there
isn't need to store the previous frto_counter past
tcp_may_send_now.

In addition, returns can then be combined.

Zhu Yi a10605e599 mac80211: free ifsta->extra_ie and clear IEEE80211_STA_PRIVACY_INVOKED
I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better
solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching
from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using
iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP,
wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we
stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is
no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that.

Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during
its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown
case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).

Vlad Yasevich 9baffaa689 SCTP: Fix SCTP-AUTH to correctly add HMACS paramter.
There was a typo that cleared the HMACS parameters when no
authenticated chunks were specified.  We whould be clearing
the chunks pointer instead of the hmacs.

Vlad Yasevich fd10279bc7 SCTP: Fix the number of HB transmissions.
Our treatment of Heartbeats is special in that the inital HB chunk
counts against the error count for the association, where as for
other chunks, only retransmissions or timeouts count against us.
As a result, we had an off-by-1 situation with a number of
Heartbeats we could send.

Stephen Hemminger a357dde9df [TCP] illinois: Incorrect beta usage
Lachlan Andrew observed that my TCP-Illinois implementation uses the
beta value incorrectly:
  The parameter  beta  in the paper specifies the amount to decrease
  *by*:  that is, on loss,
     W <-  W -  beta*W
  but in   tcp_illinois_ssthresh() uses  beta  as the amount
  to decrease  *to*: W <- beta*W

This bug makes the Linux TCP-Illinois get less-aggressive on uncongested network,
hurting performance. Note: since the base beta value is .5, it has no
impact on a congested network.

Herbert Xu 5e5234ff17 [IPSEC]: Fix uninitialised dst warning in __xfrm_lookup
Andrew Morton reported that __xfrm_lookup generates this warning:

net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c: In function '__xfrm_lookup':
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:1449: warning: 'dst' may be used uninitialized in this function

This is because if policy->action is of an unexpected value then dst will
not be initialised.  Of course, in practice this should never happen since
the input layer xfrm_user/af_key will filter out all illegal values.  But
the compiler doesn't know that of course.

So this patch fixes this by taking the conservative approach and treat all
unknown actions the same as a blocking action.

Thanks to Andrew for finding this and providing an initial fix.
