fed17f3094 [NET]: Stop polling when napi_disable() is pending.
This finally adds the code in net_rx_action() to break out of the
->poll()'ing loop when a napi_disable() is found to be pending.

Now, even if a device is being flooded with packets it can be cleanly
brought down.

1ac70e7ad2 [NET]: Fix function put_cmsg() which may cause usr application memory overflow
When used function put_cmsg() to copy kernel information to user 
application memory, if the memory length given by user application is 
not enough, by the bad length calculate of msg.msg_controllen, 
put_cmsg() function may cause the msg.msg_controllen to be a large 
value, such as 0xFFFFFFF0, so the following put_cmsg() can also write 
data to usr application memory even usr has no valid memory to store 
this. This may cause usr application memory overflow.

int put_cmsg(struct msghdr * msg, int level, int type, int len, void *data)
{
    struct cmsghdr __user *cm
        = (__force struct cmsghdr __user *)msg->msg_control;
    struct cmsghdr cmhdr;
    int cmlen = CMSG_LEN(len);
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    int err;

    if (MSG_CMSG_COMPAT & msg->msg_flags)
        return put_cmsg_compat(msg, level, type, len, data);

    if (cm==NULL || msg->msg_controllen < sizeof(*cm)) {
        msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC;
        return 0; /* XXX: return error? check spec. */
    }
    if (msg->msg_controllen < cmlen) {
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC;
        cmlen = msg->msg_controllen;
    }
    cmhdr.cmsg_level = level;
    cmhdr.cmsg_type = type;
    cmhdr.cmsg_len = cmlen;

    err = -EFAULT;
    if (copy_to_user(cm, &cmhdr, sizeof cmhdr))
        goto out;
    if (copy_to_user(CMSG_DATA(cm), data, cmlen - sizeof(struct cmsghdr)))
        goto out;
    cmlen = CMSG_SPACE(len);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    If MSG_CTRUNC flags is set, msg->msg_controllen is less than 
CMSG_SPACE(len), "msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen" will cause unsinged int 
type msg->msg_controllen to be a large value.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    msg->msg_control += cmlen;
    msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen;
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    err = 0;
out:
    return err;
}

The same promble exists in put_cmsg_compat(). This patch can fix this 
problem.

2d4baff8da [SKBUFF]: Free old skb properly in skb_morph
The skb_morph function only freed the data part of the dst skb, but leaked
the auxiliary data such as the netfilter fields.  This patch fixes this by
moving the relevant parts from __kfree_skb to skb_release_all and calling
it in skb_morph.

It also makes kfree_skbmem static since it's no longer called anywhere else
and it now no longer does skb_release_data.

Thanks to Yasuyuki KOZAKAI for finding this problem and posting a patch for
it.

Other possible solution would be to place "return 0" right

dab6ba3688 [INET]: Fix potential kfree on vmalloc-ed area of request_sock_queue
The request_sock_queue's listen_opt is either vmalloc-ed or
kmalloc-ed depending on the number of table entries. Thus it 
is expected to be handled properly on free, which is done in 
the reqsk_queue_destroy().

However the error path in inet_csk_listen_start() calls 
the lite version of reqsk_queue_destroy, called 
__reqsk_queue_destroy, which calls the kfree unconditionally. 

Fix this and move the __reqsk_queue_destroy into a .c file as 
it looks too big to be inline.

As David also noticed, this is an error recovery path only,
so no locking is required and the lopt is known to be not NULL.

reqsk_queue_yank_listen_sk is also now only used in
net/core/request_sock.c so we should move it there too.

c67625a1ec [NET]: Remove notifier block from chain when register_netdevice_notifier fails
Commit fcc5a03ac4:

	[NET]: Allow netdev REGISTER/CHANGENAME events to fail

makes the register_netdevice_notifier() handle the error from the
NETDEV_REGISTER event, sent to the registering block.

The bad news is that in this case the notifier block is 
not removed from the list, but the error is returned to the 
caller. In case the caller is in module init function and 
handles this error this can abort the module loading. The
notifier block will be then removed from the kernel, but 
will be left in the list. Oops :(

I think that the notifier block should be removed from the
chain in case of error, regardless whether this error is 
handled by the caller or not. In the worst case (the error 
is _not_ handled) module will not receive the events any 
longer.

This patch removes list of pernet_operations and cleanups code a bit.
This list is not needed if there are no namespaces. We should just call

Additionally, the ->exit will be called on module unloading only. This
case is safe - the code is not discarded. For the in/kernel code, ->exit
should never be called.

286ab3d460 [NET]: Define infrastructure to keep 'inuse' changes in an efficent SMP/NUMA way.
"struct proto" currently uses an array stats[NR_CPUS] to track change on
'inuse' sockets per protocol.

If NR_CPUS is big, this means we use a big memory area for this.
Moreover, all this memory area is located on a single node on NUMA
machines, increasing memory pressure on the boot node.

In this patch, I tried to :

- Keep a fast !CONFIG_SMP implementation
- Keep a fast CONFIG_SMP implementation for often used protocols
(tcp,udp,raw,...)
- Introduce a NUMA efficient implementation

Some helper macros are defined in include/net/sock.h
These macros take into account CONFIG_SMP

If a "struct proto" is declared without using DEFINE_PROTO_INUSE /
REF_PROTO_INUSE
macros, it will automatically use a default implementation, using a
dynamically allocated percpu zone.
This default implementation will be NUMA efficient, but might use 32/64
bytes per possible cpu
because of current alloc_percpu() implementation.
However it still should be better than previous implementation based on
stats[NR_CPUS] field.

When a "struct proto" is changed to use the new macros, we use a single
static "int" percpu variable,
lowering the memory and cpu costs, still preserving NUMA efficiency.

The copy_net_ns() in the "n" case checks for flags and

world this stub must be in net_namespace.h, but this
function need to know the CLONE_NEWNET value and thus
requires sched.h. On the other hand this header is to be

and making all this code depend on the sched.h is a

The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().

After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.

I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().

Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.

Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.

The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h

310928d963 [NETNS]: fix net released by rcu callback
When a network namespace reference is held by a network subsystem,
and when this reference is decremented in a rcu update callback, we
must ensure that there is no more outstanding rcu update before
trying to free the network namespace.

In the normal case, the rcu_barrier is called when the network namespace
is exiting in the cleanup_net function.

But when a network namespace creation fails, and the subsystems are
undone (like the cleanup), the rcu_barrier is missing.

This patch adds the missing rcu_barrier.

93ee31f14f [NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev failure.
Point 1:
The unregistering of a network device schedule a netdev_run_todo.
This function calls dev->destructor when it is set and the
destructor calls free_netdev.

Point 2:
In the case of an initialization of a network device the usual code
is:
 * alloc_netdev
 * register_netdev
    -> if this one fails, call free_netdev and exit with error.

Point 3:
In the register_netdevice function at the later state, when the device
is at the registered state, a call to the netdevice_notifiers is made.
If one of the notification falls into an error, a rollback to the
registered state is done using unregister_netdevice.

Conclusion:
When a network device fails to register during initialization because
one network subsystem returned an error during a notification call
chain, the network device is freed twice because of fact 1 and fact 2.
The second free_netdev will be done with an invalid pointer.

Proposed solution:
The following patch move all the code of unregister_netdevice *except*
the call to net_set_todo, to a new function "rollback_registered".

The following functions are changed in this way:
 * register_netdevice: calls rollback_registered when a notification fails
 * unregister_netdevice: calls rollback_register + net_set_todo, the call
                         order to net_set_todo is changed because it is the
                         latest now. Since it justs add an element to a list
                         that should not break anything.

ceaa79c434 [NETNS]: Fix get_net_ns_by_pid
The pid namespace patches changed the semantics of
find_task_by_pid without breaking the compile resulting
in get_net_ns_by_pid doing the wrong thing.

So switch to using the intended find_task_by_vpid.

Combined with Denis' earlier patch to make netlink traffic
fully synchronous the inadvertent race I introduced with
accessing current is actually removed.

2b008b0a8e [NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriate
It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section.
We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys.
Which doesn't happen until module unload.

So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways.
- We discard it before we call the exit method it points to.
- Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding
  it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked
  list and does horrible things for linked insert.

So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded
for modules.
