Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to -&gt;accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to -&gt;create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

In the function rds_ib_setup_qp, the error handle is missing. When some
error occurs, it is possible that memory leak occurs. As such, error
handle is added.

<title>rds: tcp: Sequence teardown of listen and acceptor sockets to avoid races</title>

Commit a93d01f5777e ("RDS: TCP: avoid bad page reference in
rds_tcp_listen_data_ready") added the function
rds_tcp_listen_sock_def_readable()  to handle the case when a
partially set-up acceptor socket drops into rds_tcp_listen_data_ready().
However, if the listen socket (rtn-&gt;rds_tcp_listen_sock) is itself going
through a tear-down via rds_tcp_listen_stop(), the (*ready)() will be
null and we would hit a panic  of the form
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at   (null)
  IP:           (null)
   :
  ? rds_tcp_listen_data_ready+0x59/0xb0 [rds_tcp]
  tcp_data_queue+0x39d/0x5b0
  tcp_rcv_established+0x2e5/0x660
  tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x122/0x220
  tcp_v4_rcv+0x8b7/0x980
    :
In the above case, it is not fatal to encounter a NULL value for
ready- we should just drop the packet and let the flush of the
acceptor thread finish gracefully.

In general, the tear-down sequence for listen() and accept() socket
that is ensured by this commit is:
     rtn-&gt;rds_tcp_listen_sock = NULL; /* prevent any new accepts */
     In rds_tcp_listen_stop():
         serialize with, and prevent, further callbacks using lock_sock()
         flush rds_wq
         flush acceptor workq
         sock_release(listen socket)

<title>rds: tcp: Reorder initialization sequence in rds_tcp_init to avoid races</title>

Order of initialization in rds_tcp_init needs to be done so
that resources are set up and destroyed in the correct synchronization
sequence with both the data path, as well as netns create/destroy
path. Specifically,

- we must call register_pernet_subsys and get the rds_tcp_netid
  before calling register_netdevice_notifier, otherwise we risk
  the sequence
    1. register_netdevice_notifier sets up netdev notifier callback
    2. rds_tcp_dev_event -&gt; rds_tcp_kill_sock uses netid 0, and finds
       the wrong rtn, resulting in a panic with string that is of the form:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000d
  IP: rds_tcp_kill_sock+0x3a/0x1d0 [rds_tcp]
         :

- the rds_tcp_incoming_slab kmem_cache must be initialized before the
  datapath starts up. The latter can happen any time after the
  pernet_subsys registration of rds_tcp_net_ops, whose -&gt; init
  function sets up the listen socket. If the rds_tcp_incoming_slab has
  not been set up at that time, a panic of the form below may be
  encountered

It is incorrect for the rds_connection to piggyback on the
sock_net() refcount for the netns because this gives rise to
a chicken-and-egg problem during rds_conn_destroy. Instead explicitly
take a ref on the net, and hold the netns down till the connection
tear-down is complete.

The function rds_trans_register always returns 0. As such, it is not
necessary to check the returned value.

Pull vfs sendmsg updates from Al Viro:
 "More sendmsg work.

  This is a fairly separate isolated stuff (there's a continuation
  around lustre, but that one was too late to soak in -next), thus the
  separate pull request"

* 'work.sendmsg' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  ncpfs: switch to sock_sendmsg()
  ncpfs: don't mess with manually advancing iovec on send
  ncpfs: sendmsg does *not* bugger iovec these days
  ceph_tcp_sendpage(): use ITER_BVEC sendmsg
  afs_send_pages(): use ITER_BVEC
  rds: remove dead code
  ceph: switch to sock_recvmsg()
  usbip_recv(): switch to sock_recvmsg()
  iscsi_target: deal with short writes on the tx side
  [nbd] pass iov_iter to nbd_xmit()
  [nbd] switch sock_xmit() to sock_{send,recv}msg()
  [drbd] use sock_sendmsg()

The variables rds_ib_mr_1m_pool_size and rds_ib_mr_8k_pool_size
are used only in the ib.c file. As such, the static type is
added to limit them in this file.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Don't save TIPC header values before the header has been validated,
    from Jon Paul Maloy.

 2) Fix memory leak in RDS, from Zhu Yanjun.

 3) We miss to initialize the UID in the flow key in some paths, from
    Julian Anastasov.

 4) Fix latent TOS masking bug in the routing cache removal from years
    ago, also from Julian.

 5) We forget to set the sockaddr port in sctp_copy_local_addr_list(),
    fix from Xin Long.

 6) Missing module ref count drop in packet scheduler actions, from
    Roman Mashak.

 7) Fix RCU annotations in rht_bucket_nested, from Herbert Xu.

 8) Fix use after free which happens because L2TP's ipv4 support returns
    non-zero values from it's backlog_rcv function which ipv4 interprets
    as protocol values. Fix from Paul Hüber.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (35 commits)
  qed: Don't use attention PTT for configuring BW
  qed: Fix race with multiple VFs
  l2tp: avoid use-after-free caused by l2tp_ip_backlog_recv
  xfrm: provide correct dst in xfrm_neigh_lookup
  rhashtable: Fix RCU dereference annotation in rht_bucket_nested
  rhashtable: Fix use before NULL check in bucket_table_free
  net sched actions: do not overwrite status of action creation.
  rxrpc: Kernel calls get stuck in recvmsg
  net sched actions: decrement module reference count after table flush.
  lib: Allow compile-testing of parman
  ipv6: check sk sk_type and protocol early in ip_mroute_set/getsockopt
  sctp: set sin_port for addr param when checking duplicate address
  net/mlx4_en: fix overflow in mlx4_en_init_timestamp()
  netfilter: nft_set_bitmap: incorrect bitmap size
  net: s2io: fix typo argumnet argument
  net: vxge: fix typo argumnet argument
  netfilter: nf_ct_expect: Change __nf_ct_expect_check() return value.
  ipv4: mask tos for input route
  ipv4: add missing initialization for flowi4_uid
  lib: fix spelling mistake: "actualy" -&gt; "actually"
