md5 key is added in socket through remote address.
remote address should be used in finding md5 key when

<title>net: race condition in ipv6 forwarding and disable_ipv6 parameters</title>

<id>013d97e9da1877f1334aa8ff3a19921ebbfe99b5</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a race condition in addrconf_sysctl_forward() and
addrconf_sysctl_disable().
These functions change idev-&gt;cnf.forwarding (resp. idev-&gt;cnf.disable_ipv6)
and then try to grab the rtnl lock before performing any actions.
If that fails they restore the original value and restart the syscall.
This creates race conditions if ipv6 code tries to access
these parameters, or if multiple instances try to do the same operation.
As an example of the former, if __ipv6_ifa_notify() finds a 0 in
idev-&gt;cnf.forwarding when invoked by addrconf_ifdown() it may not free
anycast addresses, ultimately resulting in the net_device not being freed.
This patch reads the user parameters into a temporary location and only
writes the actual parameters when the rtnl lock is acquired.
Tested in 2.6.38.8.

In commit 4ce3c183fca (snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all arches), I forgot
to change the /proc/net/dev_snmp6/xxx output for IP counters.

percpu array is 64bit per counter but the folding still used the 'long'
variant, and output garbage on 32bit arches.

* 'for-linus' of git://selinuxproject.org/~jmorris/linux-security:
  capabilities: remove __cap_full_set definition
  security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()
  ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat
  capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions

  capabilities: introduce security_capable_noaudit
  capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable
  capabilities: remove the task from capable LSM hook entirely
  selinux: sparse fix: fix several warnings in the security server cod
  selinux: sparse fix: fix warnings in netlink code
  selinux: sparse fix: eliminate warnings for selinuxfs
  selinux: sparse fix: declare selinux_disable() in security.h
  selinux: sparse fix: move selinux_complete_init
  selinux: sparse fix: make selinux_secmark_refcount static
  SELinux: Fix RCU deref check warning in sel_netport_insert()

Manually fix up a semantic mis-merge wrt security_netlink_recv():

 - the interface was removed in commit fd7784615248 ("security: remove
   the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()")

 - a new user of it appeared in commit a38f7907b926 ("crypto: Add
   userspace configuration API")

causing no automatic merge conflict, but Eric Paris pointed out the
issue.

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received.  Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task.  This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.

This ensures a linear behaviour when filling /proc/net/if_inet6 thus making
ifconfig run really fast on IPv6 only addresses. In fact, with this patch and
the IPv4 one sent a while ago, ifconfig will run in linear time regardless of
address type.

IPv4 related patch: f04565ddf52e401880f8ba51de0dff8ba51c99fd
	 dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops
	 ...

Some statistics (running ifconfig &gt; /dev/null on a different setup):
