[ Upstream commit 887dc9f2cef6e98dcccf807da5e6faf4f60ba483 ]

David Ahern added a vif field in the a4 part of inetpeer_addr struct.

This broke IPv4 TCP fast open client side and more generally tcp metrics
cache, because inetpeer_addr_cmp() is now comparing two u32 instead of
one.

inetpeer_set_addr_v4() needs to properly init vif field, otherwise
the comparison result depends on uninitialized data.

<title>net: fix IP early demux races</title>

[ Upstream commit 5037e9ef9454917b047f9f3a19b4dd179fbf7cd4 ]

David Wilder reported crashes caused by dst reuse.

&lt;quote David&gt;
  I am seeing a crash on a distro V4.2.3 kernel caused by a double
  release of a dst_entry.  In ipv4_dst_destroy() the call to
  list_empty() finds a poisoned next pointer, indicating the dst_entry
  has already been removed from the list and freed. The crash occurs
  18 to 24 hours into a run of a network stress exerciser.
&lt;/quote&gt;

Thanks to his detailed report and analysis, we were able to understand
the core issue.

IP early demux can associate a dst to skb, after a lookup in TCP/UDP
sockets.

When socket cache is not properly set, we want to store into
sk-&gt;sk_dst_cache the dst for future IP early demux lookups,
by acquiring a stable refcount on the dst.

Problem is this acquisition is simply using an atomic_inc(),
which works well, unless the dst was queued for destruction from
dst_release() noticing dst refcount went to zero, if DST_NOCACHE
was set on dst.

We need to make sure current refcount is not zero before incrementing
it, or risk double free as David reported.

This patch, being a stable candidate, adds two new helpers, and use
them only from IP early demux problematic paths.

It might be possible to merge in net-next skb_dst_force() and
skb_dst_force_safe(), but I prefer having the smallest patch for stable
kernels : Maybe some skb_dst_force() callers do not expect skb-&gt;dst
can suddenly be cleared.

Can probably be backported back to linux-3.6 kernels

<title>net: add validation for the socket syscall protocol argument</title>

[ Upstream commit 79462ad02e861803b3840cc782248c7359451cd9 ]

郭永刚 reported that one could simply crash the kernel as root by
using a simple program:

	int socket_fd;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	addr.sin_port = 0;
	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
	addr.sin_family = 10;

	socket_fd = socket(10,3,0x40000000);
	connect(socket_fd , &amp;addr,16);

AF_INET, AF_INET6 sockets actually only support 8-bit protocol
identifiers. inet_sock's skc_protocol field thus is sized accordingly,
thus larger protocol identifiers simply cut off the higher bits and
store a zero in the protocol fields.

This could lead to e.g. NULL function pointer because as a result of
the cut off inet_num is zero and we call down to inet_autobind, which
is NULL for raw sockets.

kernel: Call Trace:
kernel:  [&lt;ffffffff816db90e&gt;] ? inet_autobind+0x2e/0x70

kernel:  [&lt;ffffffff81779515&gt;] tracesys_phase2+0x84/0x89

I found no particular commit which introduced this problem.

[ Upstream commit 01ce63c90170283a9855d1db4fe81934dddce648 ]

Dmitry Vyukov reported that SCTP was triggering a WARN on socket destroy
related to disabling sock timestamp.

When SCTP accepts an association or peel one off, it copies sock flags
but forgot to call net_enable_timestamp() if a packet timestamping flag
was copied, leading to extra calls to net_disable_timestamp() whenever
such clones were closed.

The fix is to call net_enable_timestamp() whenever we copy a sock with
that flag on, like tcp does.

commit ad87e03213b552a5c33d5e1e7a19a73768397010 upstream.

Some USB device / host controller combinations seem to have problems
with Link Power Management.  For example, Steinar found that his xHCI
controller wouldn't handle bandwidth calculations correctly for two
video cards simultaneously when LPM was enabled, even though the bus
had plenty of bandwidth available.

This patch introduces a new quirk flag for devices that should remain
disabled for LPM, and creates quirk entries for Steinar's devices.

commit 49e4b84333f338d4f183f28f1f3c1131b9fb2b5a upstream.

Currently when the system is trying to uninstall the ACPI interrupt
handler, it uses acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt as the IRQ number.
However, the IRQ number that the ACPI interrupt handled is installed
for comes from acpi_gsi_to_irq() and that is the number that should
be used for the handler removal.

Fix this problem by using the mapped IRQ returned from acpi_gsi_to_irq()
as appropriate.

commit 4327ba52afd03fc4b5afa0ee1d774c9c5b0e85c5 upstream.

If a EXT4 filesystem utilizes JBD2 journaling and an error occurs, the
journaling will be aborted first and the error number will be recorded
into JBD2 superblock and, finally, the system will enter into the
panic state in "errors=panic" option.  But, in the rare case, this
sequence is little twisted like the below figure and it will happen
that the system enters into panic state, which means the system reset
in mobile environment, before completion of recording an error in the
journal superblock. In this case, e2fsck cannot recognize that the
filesystem failure occurred in the previous run and the corruption
wouldn't be fixed.

mq/mqprio have their own ways to report qlen/drops by folding stats on
all their queues, with appropriate locking.

A second problem is that qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() calls qdisc_lookup()
without proper locking : concurrent qdisc updates could corrupt the list
that qdisc_match_from_root() parses to find a qdisc given its handle.

Fix first problem adding a TCQ_F_NOPARENT qdisc flag that
qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() can use to abort its tree traversal,
as soon as it meets a mq/mqprio qdisc children.

Second problem can be fixed by RCU protection.
Qdisc are already freed after RCU grace period, so qdisc_list_add() and
qdisc_list_del() simply have to use appropriate rcu list variants.

A future patch will add a per struct netdev_queue list anchor, so that
qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() can have more efficient lookups.
