This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash
table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat
arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with
empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should
just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu.

If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed.
This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish
between the different users of inet_fragment.c.

I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path,
because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

<title>tcp: dont handle MTU reduction on LISTEN socket</title>

<content type='text'>
When an ICMP ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED (or ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG) message finds a
LISTEN socket, and this socket is currently owned by the user, we
set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED flag in listener tsq_flags.

This is bad because if we clone the parent before it had a chance to
clear the flag, the child inherits the tsq_flags value, and next
tcp_release_cb() on the child will decrement sk_refcnt.

Result is that we might free a live TCP socket, as reported by
Dormando.

IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1

Fix this issue by testing sk_state against TCP_LISTEN early, so that we
set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED on appropriate sockets (not a LISTEN one)

This bug was introduced in commit 563d34d05786
(tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications)

John W. Linville says:

====================
On the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"With this one we have:

- A fix for properly decreasing socket ack log.
- A timer and works cleanup upon NFC device removal.
- A monitoroing socket cleanup round from llcp_socket_release.
- A proper error report to pending sockets upon NFC device removal."

Regarding the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"I have these two patches for 3.9, these add support for two more devices to
the bluetooth drivers."

Along with those, we have a few wireless driver fixes...

Bing Zhao provides an mwifiex to prevent an out-of-bounds memory
access.

John Crispin offers a Kconfig fix to enable some otherwise dead code
in rt2x00.  The correct symbols were added in -rc1 through a different
tree, but the symbols for enabling the wireless driver didn't match.

Larry Finger brings an rtlwifi fix for a scheduling while atomic bug,
and another fix for a reassociation problem caused by failing to
clear the BSSID after a disconnect.

This reverts commit 412ed94744d16806fbec3bd250fd94e71cde5a1f.

The commit is wrong as tiph points to the outer IPv4 header which is
installed at ipgre_header() and not the inner one which is protocol dependant.

This commit broke succesfully opennhrp which use PF_PACKET socket with
ETH_P_NHRP protocol. Additionally ssl_addr is set to the link-layer
IPv4 address. This address is written by ipgre_header() to the skb
earlier, and this is the IPv4 header tiph should point to - regardless
of the inner protocol payload.

Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack :

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056

commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx
path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while
what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one.

It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of
partially acked frames) and this commit.

Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size'
management (and should not be aware)

Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack :

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056

commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx
path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while
what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one.

It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of
partially acked frames) and this commit.

Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size'
management (and should not be aware)
