commit 22ee3b57c3ff71772b0c4178404b04f5df78d501 upstream.

If gcc (e.g. 4.1.2) decides not to inline vsock_init_tables(), this will
cause a section mismatch:

WARNING: net/vmw_vsock/vsock.o(.text+0x1bc): Section mismatch in reference from the function __vsock_core_init() to the function .init.text:vsock_init_tables()
The function __vsock_core_init() references
the function __init vsock_init_tables().
This is often because __vsock_core_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of vsock_init_tables is wrong.

This may cause crashes if VSOCKETS=y and VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS=m.

<title>ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field</title>

[ Upstream commit f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2 ]

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

[ Upstream commit b56141ab34e2c3e2d7960cea12c20c99530c0c76 ]

This patch fixes race between inet_frag_lru_move() and inet_frag_lru_add()
which was introduced in commit 3ef0eb0db4bf92c6d2510fe5c4dc51852746f206
("net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of rwlock")

One cpu already added new fragment queue into hash but not into LRU.
Other cpu found it in hash and tries to move it to the end of LRU.
This leads to NULL pointer dereference inside of list_move_tail().

Another possible race condition is between inet_frag_lru_move() and
inet_frag_lru_del(): move can happens after deletion.

This patch initializes LRU list head before adding fragment into hash and
inet_frag_lru_move() doesn't touches it if it's empty.

I saw this kernel oops two times in a couple of days.

<title>packet: tpacket_v3: do not trigger bug() on wrong header status</title>

[ Upstream commit 8da3056c04bfc5f69f840ab038a38389e2de8189 ]

Jakub reported that it is fairly easy to trigger the BUG() macro
from user space with TPACKET_V3's RX_RING by just giving a wrong
header status flag. We already had a similar situation in commit
7f5c3e3a80e6654 (``af_packet: remove BUG statement in
tpacket_destruct_skb'') where this was the case in the TX_RING
side that could be triggered from user space. So really, don't use
BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out, and i.e.
don't use it for consistency checking when there's user space
involved, no excuses, especially not if you're slapping the user
with WARN + dump_stack + BUG all at once. The two functions are
of concern:

  prb_retire_current_block() [when block status != TP_STATUS_KERNEL]
  prb_open_block() [when block_status != TP_STATUS_KERNEL]

Calls to prb_open_block() are guarded by ealier checks if block_status
is really TP_STATUS_KERNEL (racy!), but the first one BUG() is easily
triggable from user space. System behaves still stable after they are
removed. Also remove that yoda condition entirely, since it's already
guarded.

<title>bridge: fix race with topology change timer</title>

[ Upstream commit 83401eb4990ff6af55aeed8f49681558544192e6 ]

A bridge should only send topology change notice if it is not
the root bridge. It is possible for message age timer to elect itself
as a new root bridge, and still have a topology change timer running
but waiting for bridge lock on other CPU.

Solve the race by checking if we are root bridge before continuing.
This was the root cause of the cases where br_send_tcn_bpdu would OOPS.
