Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert iwlwifi reclaimed packet tracking, it causes problems for a
    bunch of folks.  From Emmanuel Grumbach.

 2) Work limiting code in brcmsmac wifi driver can clear tx status
    without processing the event.  From Arend van Spriel.

 3) rtlwifi USB driver processes wrong SKB, fix from Larry Finger.

 4) l2tp tunnel delete can race with close, fix from Tom Parkin.

 5) pktgen_add_device() failures are not checked at all, fix from Cong
    Wang.

 6) Fix unintentional removal of carrier off from tun_detach(),
    otherwise we confuse userspace, from Michael S.  Tsirkin.

 7) Don't leak socket reference counts and ubufs in vhost-net driver,
    from Jason Wang.

 8) vmxnet3 driver gets it's initial carrier state wrong, fix from Neil
    Horman.

 9) Protect against USB networking devices which spam the host with 0
    length frames, from Bjørn Mork.

10) Prevent neighbour overflows in ipv6 for locally destined routes,
    from Marcelo Ricardo.  This is the best short-term fix for this, a
    longer term fix has been implemented in net-next.

11) L2TP uses ipv4 datagram routines in it's ipv6 code, whoops.  This
    mistake is largely because the ipv6 functions don't even have some
    kind of prefix in their names to suggest they are ipv6 specific.
    From Tom Parkin.

12) Check SYN packet drops properly in tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack(), from
    Yuchung Cheng.

13) Fix races and TX skb freeing bugs in via-rhine's NAPI support, from
    Francois Romieu and your's truly.

14) Fix infinite loops and divides by zero in TCP congestion window
    handling, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Ilpo Järvinen.

15) AF_PACKET tx ring handling can leak kernel memory to userspace, fix
    from Phil Sutter.

16) Fix error handling in ipv6 GRE tunnel transmit, from Tommi Rantala.

17) Protect XEN netback driver against hostile frontend putting garbage
    into the rings, don't leak pages in TX GOP checking, and add proper
    resource releasing in error path of xen_netbk_get_requests().  From
    Ian Campbell.

18) SCTP authentication keys should be cleared out and released with
    kzfree(), from Daniel Borkmann.

19) L2TP is a bit too clever trying to maintain skb->truesize, and ends
    up corrupting socket memory accounting to the point where packet
    sending is halted indefinitely.  Just remove the adjustments
    entirely, they aren't really needed.  From Eric Dumazet.

20) ATM Iphase driver uses a data type with the same name as the S390
    headers, rename to fix the build.  From Heiko Carstens.

21) Fix a typo in copying the inner network header offset from one SKB
    to another, from Pravin B Shelar.

atm/iphase: rename fregt_t -> ffreg_t

2013-02-08T19:22:05+00:00

We have conflicting type qualifiers for "freg_t" in s390's ptrace.h and the
iphase atm device driver, which causes the compile error below.
Unfortunately the s390 typedef can't be renamed, since it's a user visible api,
nor can I change the include order in s390 code to avoid the conflict.

So simply rename the iphase typedef to a new name. Fixes this compile error:

Merge branch 'netback'

2013-02-08T04:31:47+00:00

Ian Campbell says:

====================
The Xen netback implementation contains a couple of flaws which can
allow a guest to cause a DoS in the backend domain, potentially
affecting other domains in the system.

CVE-2013-0216 is a failure to sanity check the ring producer/consumer
pointers which can allow a guest to cause netback to loop for an
extended period preventing other work from occurring.

CVE-2013-0217 is a memory leak on an error path which is guest
triggerable.

The following series contains the fixes for these issues, as previously
included in Xen Security Advisory 39:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2013-02/msg00001.html

Changes in v2:
 - Typo and block comment format fixes
 - Added stable Cc

xen/netback: shutdown the ring if it contains garbage.

2013-02-08T04:29:28+00:00

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback.
If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the
device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially
hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be
penalised.

As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a
new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests
on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring
contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this
insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating
any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in
xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period.

Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error
into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown
afterwards.

This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.
