ecced8ba87 net/appletalk: push down BKL into a atalk_dgram_ops
Making the BKL usage explicit in appletalk makes it more
obvious where it is used, reduces code size and helps
getting rid of the BKL in common code.

I did not analyse how to kill lock_kernel from appletalk
entirely, this will involve either proving that it's not
needed, or replacing with a proper mutex or spinlock,
after finding out which data structures are protected
by the lock.

3f378b6844 net: pass kern to net_proto_family create function
The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the

the kernel or by userspace.  This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

6885ffb3a1 Use correct NET_RX_* returns for atalk_rcv()
In all rx'd SKB cases, atalk_rcv() either eventually jumps to or falls through
    to the label out:, which  returns numeric 0. Numeric 0 corresponds to
    NET_RX_SUCCESS, which is incorrect in failed SKB cases.

    This patch makes atalk_rcv() provide the correct returns by:

    o  explicitly returning NET_RX_SUCCESS in the two success cases
    o  having the out: label return NET_RX_DROP, instead of numeric 0
    o  making the failed SKB labels and processing more consistent with other
       _rcv() routines in the kernel, simplifying validation and removing a
       backwards goto

c564039fd8 net: sk_wmem_alloc has initial value of one, not zero
commit 2b85a34e91
(net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx)
changed initial sk_wmem_alloc value.

Some protocols check sk_wmem_alloc value to determine if a timer
must delay socket deallocation. We must take care of the sk_wmem_alloc
value being one instead of zero when no write allocations are pending.

Reported by Ingo Molnar, and full diagnostic from David Miller.

This patch introduces three helpers to get read/write allocations
and a followup patch will use these helpers to report correct
write allocations to user.

524ad0a791 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-4
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

e9dc865340 [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe
Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.

To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

1b8d7ae42d [NET]: Make socket creation namespace safe.
This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

eefa390628 [NET]: Clean up sk_buff walkers.
I noticed recently that, in skb_checksum(), "offset" and "start" are
essentially the same thing and have the same value throughout the
function, despite being computed differently. Using a single variable
allows some cleanups and makes the skb_checksum() function smaller,
more readable, and presumably marginally faster.

We appear to have many other "sk_buff walker" functions built on the
exact same model, so the cleanup applies to them, too. Here is a list
of the functions I found to be affected:

net/appletalk/ddp.c:atalk_sum_skb()
net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_datagram_iovec()
net/core/datagram.c:skb_copy_and_csum_datagram()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_bits()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_store_bits()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_checksum()
net/core/skbuff.c:skb_copy_and_csum_bit()
net/core/user_dma.c:dma_skb_copy_datagram_iovec()
net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_icv_walk()
net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:skb_to_sgvec()

OTOH, I admit I'm a bit surprised, the cleanup is rather obvious so I'm
really wondering if I am missing something. Can anyone please comment
on this?

75559c167b [APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crash
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.

This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:

The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.

The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
  suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
  local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
  to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.

The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.

This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.

Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

f6c90b71a3 [NET]: Fix ipx/econet/appletalk/irda ioctl crashes
Fix kernel oopses whenever somebody issues compatible ioctl on AppleTalk,
Econet, IPX or IRDA socket.  For AppleTalk/Econet/IRDA it restores state
in which these sockets were before compat_ioctl was introduced to the socket
ops, for IPX it implements support for 4 ioctls which were not implemented
before - as these ioctls use structures which match between 32bit and 64bit
userspace, no special code is needed, just call 64bit ioctl handler.

b5e5fa5e09 [NET]: Add a dev_ioctl() fallback to sock_ioctl()
Currently all network protocols need to call dev_ioctl as the default
fallback in their ioctl implementations.  This patch adds a fallback
to dev_ioctl to sock_ioctl if the protocol returned -ENOIOCTLCMD.
This way all the procotol ioctl handlers can be simplified and we don't
need to export dev_ioctl.
