commit dfec091439bb2acf763497cfc58f2bdfc67c56b7 upstream.

After commit 3f34cfae1238 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock
only in the required scope"), the caller of nf_{get/set}sockopt() must
not hold any lock, but, in such changeset, I forgot to cope with DECnet.

This commit addresses the issue moving the nf call outside the lock,
in the dn_{get,set}sockopt() with the same schema currently used by
ipv4 and ipv6. Also moves the unhandled sockopts of the end of the main
switch statements, to improve code readability.

<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

I found no particular commit which introduced this problem.

<title>decnet: Fix disappearing sysctl entries</title>
<updated>2013-03-20T15:03:28+00:00</updated>

<content type='text'>
When decnet is built as a module a simple:
echo 0.0 &gt;/proc/sys/net/decnet/node_address

results in most of the sysctl entries under /proc/sys/net/decnet and
/proc/sys/net/decnet/conf disappearing.

For more details see http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg226123.html.

This change applies the same workaround used in
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c and net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c of creating
a skeleton of decnet sysctl entries before doing anything else.

The problem first appeared in kernel 2.6.27.  The later rewrite of
sysctl in kernel 3.4 restored the previous behavior and eliminated the
need for this workaround.

This patch was heavily inspired by a similar but more complex patch by
Larry Baker.
