This small change allows for easy per-route workarounds for broken hosts or
middleboxes that are not compliant with TCP standards for window scaling.
Rather than having to turn off window scaling globally. This patch allows
reducing or disabling window scaling if window clamp is present.

The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged
packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet

This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be
trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions
instead.

If dst->obsolete is -1, this is a signal from the
bundle creator that we want the XFRM dst and the
dsts that it references to be validated on every
use.
I misunderstood this intention when I changed
xfrm_dst_check() to always return NULL.
Now, when we purge a dst entry, by running dst_free()
on it. This will set the dst->obsolete to a positive
integer, and we want to return NULL in that case so
that the socket does a relookup for the route.
Thus, if dst->obsolete<0, let stale_bundle() validate
the state, else always return NULL.
In general, we need to do things more intelligently
here because we flush too much state during rule
changes. Herbert Xu has some ideas wherein the key
manager gives us some help in this area. We can also
use smarter state management algorithms inside of
the kernel as well.

Found during OpenVZ internal testing.
At first we thought that it is OpenVZ specific as we
added dst_run_gc(0) call in dst_dev_event(),
but as Alexey pointed to me it is possible to trigger
this condition in mainstream kernel.
F.e. timer has fired on CPU2, but the handler was preeempted
by an irq before dst_lock is tried.
Meanwhile, someone on CPU1 adds an entry to gc list and
starts the timer.
If CPU2 was preempted long enough, this timer can expire
simultaneously with resuming timer handler on CPU1, arriving
exactly to the situation described.

lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit
LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set.
If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range
of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and
the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false.
Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window
< 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault.
This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'.
Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't
used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our

this bug"

The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways.
These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel
version of STP.
First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet
in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets
into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue
because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call
was just copying out old data.
Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call
on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on
SOCK_DGRAM.
This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics
but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's
interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.

This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the
original unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a
security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the
security context when the receiver requests it.
This new design requires modification of the current
unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely,
secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security
context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing
the security context because it is up to the security module to decide
how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree
operation.

When I tested linux kernel 2.6.71.7 about statistics

SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of output datagram fragments that have
been generated as a result of fragmentation at
this output interface."
::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 }
I think there are two issues in Linux kernel.
1st:
RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram
fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment
successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a
fragment is created but failed to output.
2nd:
If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive
ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in
Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying
transport layer is better), but this is not the "real"
fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date,
and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer
-- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for
ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by
upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

the keepalive timer for the difference between the timewait
timeout and the fin_wait2 timeout.
When this orphan socket is seen by tcp_keepalive_timer()
it will try to transform this fin_wait2 socket into a
fin_wait2 mini-socket, again if linger2 is active.
Not all paths were setting this initial keepalive timer correctly.

Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked
it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive
calls into the driver)
This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small
modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication
challenge response frame from a workqueue entry.
I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to
authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but
not patched in.

The recvmsg() for raw socket seems to return random u16 value
from the kernel stack memory since port field is not initialized.
But I'm not sure this patch is correct.
Does raw socket return any information stored in port field?
[ BSD defines RAW IP recvmsg to return a sin_port value of zero.

Locally generated broadcast and multicast packets have pkttype set to
PACKET_LOOPBACK instead of PACKET_BROADCAST or PACKET_MULTICAST. This
causes the pkttype match to fail to match packets of either type.
The below patch remedies this by using the daddr as a hint as to
broadcast|multicast. While not pretty, this seems like the only way
to solve the problem short of just noting this as a limitation of the
match.

Some Bluetooth RFCOMM implementations try to negotiate a bigger channel
MTU than we can support for a particular session. The maximum MTU for
a RFCOMM session is limited through the L2CAP layer. So if the other
side proposes a channel MTU that is bigger than the underlying L2CAP
MTU, we should reduce it to the L2CAP MTU of the session minus five

When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of
the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This
will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length
or tail from the frag_list.
Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment.
Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet
with a frag_list attached.
It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure
that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In
fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying
the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix
and update frag_list.

I think there is still a problem with the AIMD parameter update in
HighSpeed TCP code.
Line 125~138 of the code (net/ipv4/tcp_highspeed.c):
/* Update AIMD parameters */
if (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
ca->ai < HSTCP_AIMD_MAX - 1)
ca->ai++;
} else if (tp->snd_cwnd < hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd) {
while (tp->snd_cwnd > hstcp_aimd_vals[ca->ai].cwnd &&
ca->ai > 0)
ca->ai--;
In fact, the second part (decreasing ca->ai) never decreases since the
while loop's inequality is in the reverse direction. This leads to
unfairness with multiple flows (once a flow happens to enjoy a higher
ca->ai, it keeps enjoying that even its cwnd decreases)
Here is a tentative fix (I also added a comment, trying to keep the
change clear):

In commit ba9b28d19a, routine
ieee80211softmac_capabilities was added to ieee80211softmac_io.c. As
denoted by its name, it completes the capabilities IE that is
needed in the associate and reassociate requests sent to the
AP. For at least one AP, the Linksys WRT54G V5, the capabilities
field must set the 'short preamble' bit or the AP refuses to
associate. In the commit noted above, there is a call to the
new routine from ieee80211softmac_reassoc_req, but not from
ieee80211softmac_assoc_req. This patch fixes that oversight.
As noted in the subject, v2.6.17 is affected. My bcm43xx card had been
unable to associate since I was forced to buy a new AP. I finally was
able to get a packet dump and traced the problem to the capabilities
info. Although I had heard that a patch was "floating around", I had
not seen it before 2.6.17 was released. As this bug does not affect
security and I seem to have the only AP affected by it, there should
be no problem in leaving it for 2.6.18.

This patch adds the module parameter disable_cfc which can be used to
disable the credit based flow control. The credit based flow control
was introduced with the Bluetooth 1.1 specification and devices can
negotiate its support, but for testing purpose it is helpful to allow
disabling of it.

This patch is a small cleanup of the L2CAP source code. It makes some
coding style changes and moves some functions around to avoid forward
declarations.
