commit f7a1dd6e3ad59f0cfd51da29dfdbfd54122c5916 upstream.

The reason for this patch is crash in kmemdup
caused by returning from get_callid with uniialized
matchoff and matchlen.

Removing Zero check of matchlen since it's done by ct_sip_get_header()

the RCU lock is not needed.

<title>ipvs: add backup_only flag to avoid loops</title>

<content type='text'>
Dmitry Akindinov is reporting for a problem where SYNs are looping
between the master and backup server when the backup server is used as
real server in DR mode and has IPVS rules to function as director.

Even when the backup function is enabled we continue to forward
traffic and schedule new connections when the current master is using
the backup server as real server. While this is not a problem for NAT,
for DR and TUN method the backup server can not determine if a request
comes from client or from director.

To avoid such loops add new sysctl flag backup_only. It can be needed
for DR/TUN setups that do not need backup and director function at the
same time. When the backup function is enabled we stop any forwarding
and pass the traffic to the local stack (real server mode). The flag
disables the director function when the backup function is enabled.

For setups that enable backup function for some virtual services and
director function for other virtual services there should be another
more complex solution to support DR/TUN mode, may be to assign
per-virtual service syncid value, so that we can differentiate the
requests.

Fix wrong but non-fatal access to chunk length.
sch-&gt;length should be in network order, next chunk should
be aligned to 4 bytes. Problem noticed in sparse output.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

<content type='text'>
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.c

The bnx2x gso_type setting bug fix in 'net' conflicted with
changes in 'net-next' that broke the gso_* setting logic
out into a seperate function, which also fixes the bug in
question.  Thus, use the 'net-next' version.

<title>ipvs: sctp: fix checksumming on snat and dnat handlers</title>

<id>4b47bc9a9e69141ed3a854c57601f548e82c78ba</id>
<content type='text'>
In our test lab, we have a simple SCTP client connecting to a SCTP
server via an IPVS load balancer. On some machines, load balancing
works, but on others the initial handshake just fails, thus no
SCTP connection whatsoever can be established!

We observed that the SCTP INIT-ACK handshake reply from the IPVS
machine to the client had a correct IP checksum, but corrupt SCTP
checksum when forwarded, thus on the client-side the packet was
dropped and an intial handshake retriggered until all attempts
run into the void.

To fix this issue, this patch i) adds a missing CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
after the full checksum (re-)calculation (as done in IPVS TCP and UDP
code as well), ii) calculates the checksum in little-endian format
(as fixed with the SCTP code in commit 4458f04c: sctp: Clean up sctp
checksumming code) and iii) refactors duplicate checksum code into a
common function. Tested by myself.

<title>net: remove redundant check for timer pending state before del_timer</title>

As in del_timer() there has already placed a timer_pending() function
to check whether the timer to be deleted is pending or not, it's
unnecessary to check timer pending state again before del_timer() is
called.
