====================
The Xen netback implementation contains a couple of flaws which can
allow a guest to cause a DoS in the backend domain, potentially
affecting other domains in the system.
CVE-2013-0216 is a failure to sanity check the ring producer/consumer
pointers which can allow a guest to cause netback to loop for an
extended period preventing other work from occurring.
CVE-2013-0217 is a memory leak on an error path which is guest
triggerable.
The following series contains the fixes for these issues, as previously
included in Xen Security Advisory 39:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2013-02/msg00001.html
Changes in v2:
- Typo and block comment format fixes
- Added stable Cc

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback.
If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the
device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially
hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be
penalised.
As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a
new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests
on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring
contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this
insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating
any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in
xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period.
Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error
into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown
afterwards.
This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.

Included is a bluetooth pull. Gustavo says:
"Two simple fixes for 3.8. One of the patches fixes a situation
where the connection wasn't terminated if a timeout ocurrs for LE
an SCO connections. The other fixes prevent NULL dereference in the
SMP code, it is a security fix as well."
Along with those...
Hauke Mehrtens provides a couple of ssb and bcma bus fixes that
prevent oopses when unloading those modules.
Larry Finger provides and rtlwifi fix to avoid a "scheduling while

Last but certainly not least, Arend van Spriel bring a brcmsmac fix that
reworks the mac80211 .flush() callback in order to avoid the dreaded
brcms_c_wait_for_tx_completion warnings. This one looks a little
large, but I think it is safe and isolated to brcmsmac in any case.

This patch addresses a long standing issue of the driver with the
mac80211 .flush() callback. Since implementing the .flush() callback
a number of issues have been fixed, but a WARN_ON_ONCE() was still
triggered because the timeout on the flush could still occur.
This patch changes the awkward design using msleep() into one using
a waitqueue. The waiting flush() context will kick the transmit dma
when it is idle and the timeout used waiting for the event is set
to 500 ms. Worst case there can be 64 frames outstanding for transmit
in the driver. At a rate of 1Mbps that would take 1.5 seconds assuming
MTU is 1500 bytes and ignoring retries. The WARN_ON_ONCE() is also
removed as this was put in to indicate the flush timeout as a reason
for the driver to stall. That was not happening since fixing endless
AMPDU retries with following upstream commit:

Kernel commits 41affd5 and 6539306 changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave()
from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue
to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for
most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates
that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places
was entered in atomic context. These direct calls are replaced by putting a
request on the appropriate work queue.

It is normal for minidrivers accumulating frames to return NULL
from their tx_fixup function. We do not want to count this as a
drop, or log any debug messages. A different exit path is
therefore chosen for such drivers, skipping the debug message
and the tx_dropped increment.
The test for accumulating drivers was however completely bogus,
making the exit path selection depend on whether the user had
enabled tx_err logging or not. This would arbitrarily mess up
accounting for both accumulating and non-accumulating minidrivers,
and would result in unwanted debug messages for the accumulating
drivers.
Fix by testing for FLAG_MULTI_PACKET instead, which probably was
the intention from the beginning. This usage match the documented
behaviour of this flag:

When releasing a packet socket, the routine packet_set_ring() is reused
to free rings instead of allocating them. But when calling it for the
first time, it fills req->tp_block_nr with the value of rb->pg_vec_len
which in the second invocation makes it bail out since req->tp_block_nr
is greater zero but req->tp_block_size is zero.
This patch solves the problem by passing a zeroed auto-variable to
packet_set_ring() upon each invocation from packet_release().
As far as I can tell, this issue exists even since 69e3c75 (net: TX_RING
and packet mmap), i.e. the original inclusion of TX ring support into
af_packet, but applies only to sockets with both RX and TX ring
allocated, which is probably why this was unnoticed all the time.

We forbid polling, writing and reading when the file were detached, this may
complex the user in several cases:
- when guest pass some buffers to vhost/qemu and then disable some queues,
host/qemu needs to do its own cleanup on those buffers which is complex
sometimes. We can do this simply by allowing a user can still write to an
disabled queue. Write to an disabled queue will cause the packet pass to the
kernel and read will get nothing.
- align the polling behavior with macvtap which never fails when the queue is
created. This can simplify the polling errors handling of its user (e.g vhost)
We can simply achieve this by don't assign NULL to tfile->tun when detached.

Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues:
- vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll,
this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to
add itself to the waitqueue
- userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling
failed.
Solve this by:
- check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value
will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend
After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it

The delay calculation with the rate extension introduces in v3.3 does
not properly work, if other packets are still queued for transmission.
For the delay calculation to work, both delay types (latency and delay
introduces by rate limitation) have to be handled differently. The
latency delay for a packet can overlap with the delay of other packets.
The delay introduced by the rate however is separate, and can only
start, once all other rate-introduced delays finished.
Latency delay is from same distribution for each packet, rate delay
depends on the packet size.

When a packet is enqueued, we first consider the latency delay. If other
packets are already queued, we can reduce the latency delay until the
last packet in the queue is send, however the latency delay cannot be
<0, since this would mean that the rate is overcommitted. The new
reference point is the time at which the last packet will be send. To
find the time, when the packet should be send, the rate introduces delay
has to be added on top of that.
