The compat_sys_mount() system call throws EINVAL for text-based NFSv4
mounts.
The text-based mount interface assumes that any mount option blob that
doesn't set the version field to "1" is a C string (ie not a legacy
mount request). The compat_sys_mount() call treats blobs that don't
set the version field to "1" as an error. We just relax the check in
compat_sys_mount() a bit to allow C strings to be passed down to the NFSv4
client.

The reference counting for the NFSv4 callback thread stays artificially
high. When this thread comes down, it doesn't properly tear down the
svc_serv, causing a memory leak. In my testing on an older kernel on
x86_64, memory would leak out of the 8k kmalloc slab. So, we're leaking
at least a page of memory every time the thread comes down.
svc_create() creates the svc_serv with a sv_nrthreads count of 1, and
then svc_create_thread() increments that count. Whenever the callback
thread is started it has a sv_nrthreads count of 2. When coming down, it
calls svc_exit_thread() which decrements that count and if it hits 0, it
tears everything down. That never happens here since the count is always
at 2 when the thread exits.
The problem is that nfs_callback_up() should be calling svc_destroy() on
the svc_serv on both success and failure. This is how lockd_up_proto()
handles the reference counting, and doing that here fixes the leak.

This patch avoids a null pointer dereference when we read local_mac
for netconsole in configfs and shows default local mac address
value.
A null pointer dereference occurs when we call show_local_mac() via
local_mac entry in configfs before we setup the content of netpoll
using netpoll_setup().

There is a race in Linux kernel file net/core/dev.c, function dev_close.
The function calls function dev_deactivate, which calls function
dev_watchdog_down that deletes the watchdog timer. However, after that, a
driver can call netif_carrier_ok, which calls function
__netdev_watchdog_up that can add the watchdog timer again. Function
unregister_netdevice calls function dev_shutdown that traps the bug
!timer_pending(&dev->watchdog_timer). Moving dev_deactivate after
netif_running() has been cleared prevents function netif_carrier_on
from calling __netdev_watchdog_up and adding the watchdog timer again.

In do_setlink() a single notification is sent at the end of the
function if any modification occured. If the address has been changed,
another notification is sent.
Both of them is required because originally only the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR
notification was sent and although device state change implies address
change, some programs may expect the original notification. It remains
for compatibity.
If set_operstate() is called from do_setlink(), it doesn't send a
notification, only if it is called from rtnl_create_link() as earlier.

Some code declares variables on the stack, but uses them
under #ifdef CONFIG_IPV6, so thay become unused when ipv6

This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks
when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet. The problem
is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack
will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever
is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet.
In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the
datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack
to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet.
For now this patch does the second part which should make it
work for the IPsec host case.

Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix
for this bug. He also validated this version of this fix.
The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we
grab references when dropping the lock lock to call
neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of
control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing
corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access
to the skb.
The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock
during the ->solicit() call. I looked at all of the ndisc_ops
implementations and this seems workable. The only case that needs
special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit(). It
wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in
neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation. We can simply
remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock
as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection
afforded by the existing read locking.
The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the
neigh is locked or not.

Arjan:
With the help of kerneloops.org I've spotted a nice little interaction
between the TTY layer and the bluetooth code, however the tty layer is not
something I'm all too familiar with so I rather ask than brute-force fix the
code incorrectly.
The raw details are at:
http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=uart_flush_buffer
What happens is that, on closing the bluetooth tty, the tty layer goes
into the release_dev() function, which first does a bunch of stuff, then
sets the file->private_data to NULL, does some more stuff and then calls the
ldisc close function. Which in this case, is hci_uart_tty_close().
Now, hci_uart_tty_close() calls hci_uart_close() which clears some
internal bit, and then calls hci_uart_flush()... which calls back to the
tty layers' uart_flush_buffer() function. (in drivers/bluetooth/hci_tty.c
around line 194) Which then WARN_ON()'s because that's not allowed/supposed
to be called this late in the shutdown of the port....
Should the bluetooth driver even call this flush function at all??
David:
This seems to be what happens: Hci_uart_close() flushes using
hci_uart_flush(). Subsequently, in hci_dev_do_close(), (one step in
hci_unregister_dev()), hci_uart_flush() is called again. The comment in
uart_flush_buffer(), relating to the WARN_ON(), indicates you can't flush
after the port is closed; which sounds reasonable. I think hci_uart_close()
should set hdev->flush to NULL before returning. Hci_dev_do_close() does
check for this. The code path is rather involved and I'm not entirely clear
of all steps, but I think that's what should be done.

This lockdep report shows that ax25_route_lock is taken for reading in
softirq context, and for writing in process context with BHs enabled.
So, to make this safe, all write_locks in ax25_route.c are changed to

ax25_list_lock is held, so reversely to other functions. To fix this
the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would
be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper"
order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info
it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar
reading without this lock too).
So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there
is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper
read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu.

Use key/offset caching to change /proc/net/route (use by iputils route)
from O(n^2) to O(n). This improves performance from 30sec with 160,000
routes to 1sec.

Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the
DSCP value. In particular they try to make the distinction between
values that should be used by "user applications" and things like
routing daemons.
This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for
IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error
so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as
well.
Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not
validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option.
The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the
final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a
recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use
"SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be
used.
In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here
is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't
work out:
1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing
setups.
2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in
IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by
default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to
override that.
I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they
do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For
the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2
and beyond.
