<id>6e51fe7572590d8d86e93b547fab6693d305fd0d</id>
<content type='text'>
Consider the following program, that sets the second argument to the
sendto() syscall incorrectly:

 #include &lt;string.h&gt;
 #include &lt;arpa/inet.h&gt;
 #include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;

 int main(void)
 {
         int fd;
         struct sockaddr_in sa;

         fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/);
         if (fd &lt; 0)
                 return 1;

         memset(&amp;sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
         sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
         sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
         sa.sin_port = htons(11111);

         sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&amp;sa, sizeof(sa));

         return 0;
 }

We get -ENOMEM:

 $ strace -e sendto ./demo
 sendto(3, NULL, 1, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11111), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

Propagate the error code from sctp_user_addto_chunk(), so that we will
tell user space what actually went wrong:

 $ strace -e sendto ./demo
 sendto(3, NULL, 1, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11111), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

Noticed while running Trinity (the syscall fuzzer).

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.

 - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
   there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

 - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
   that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
   switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

 - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
   take that commit than mess with conflicts.  The rest is a separate
   pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

 - a few misc patches all over the place.  Not all for this cycle,
   there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (72 commits)
  MAX_LFS_FILESIZE should be a loff_t
  compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation
  fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems
  btrfs: reada_extent doesn't need kref for refcount
  coredump: move core dump functionality into its own file
  coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper

Both modular callers of sock_map_fd() had been buggy; sctp one leaks
descriptor and file if copy_to_user() fails, 9p one shouldn't be
exposing file in the descriptor table at all.

Switch both to sock_alloc_file(), export it, unexport sock_map_fd() and
make it static.

- Add struct net into the port hash table hash calculation
- Add struct net inot the struct sctp_bind_bucket so there
  is a memory of which network namespace a port is allocated in.
  No need for a ref count because sctp_bind_bucket only exists
  when there are sockets in the hash table and sockets can not
  change their network namspace, and sockets already ref count
  their network namespace.
- Add struct net into the key comparison when we are testing
  to see if we have found the port hash table entry we are
  looking for.

With these changes lookups in the port hash table becomes
safe to use in multiple network namespaces.

<title>sctp: Implement quick failover draft from tsvwg</title>

I've seen several attempts recently made to do quick failover of sctp transports
by reducing various retransmit timers and counters.  While its possible to
implement a faster failover on multihomed sctp associations, its not
particularly robust, in that it can lead to unneeded retransmits, as well as
false connection failures due to intermittent latency on a network.

Instead, lets implement the new ietf quick failover draft found here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-05

This will let the sctp stack identify transports that have had a small number of
errors, and avoid using them quickly until their reliability can be
re-established.  I've tested this out on two virt guests connected via multiple
isolated virt networks and believe its in compliance with the above draft and
works well.
