"airo: airo_get_encode{,ext} potential buffer overflow" was actually a
no-op, due to an unrecognized type overflow in an assignment.  Oddly,
gcc only seems to tell me about it when using -Wextra...grrr...

Reinette Chatre fbc9f97bbf iwlwifi: do not cancel delayed work inside spin_lock_irqsave
Calling cancel_delayed_work() from inside
spin_lock_irqsave, introduces a potential deadlock.

As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

A - lock
T - timer

phase                   CPU 1           CPU 2
---------------------------------------------

some place that calls
cancel_timer_sync()
(which is the | code)
                                        lock-irq(A)
|                                       "lock-irq"(T)
|                                       "unlock"(T)
|                                       wait(T)
                                        unlock(A)

timer softirq
                        "lock"(T)
                        run(T)
                        "unlock"(T)

irq handler
          lock(A)
          unlock(A)

Now all that again, interleaved, leading to deadlock:

                                        lock-irq(A)
                        "lock"(T)
                         run(T)
IRQ during or maybe
before run(T) -->        lock(A)
                                        "lock-irq"(T)
                                        wait(T)

We fix this by moving the call to cancel_delayed_work() into workqueue.
There are cases where the work may not actually be queued or running
at the time we are trying to cancel it, but cancel_delayed_work() is
able to deal with this.

Also cleanup iwl_set_mode related to this call. This function
(iwl_set_mode) is only called when bringing interface up and there will
thus not be any scanning done. No need to try to cancel scanning.

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13224, which was also
reported at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124081921903223&w=2 .

Forrest Zhang a54be5d43a ath5k: fix exp off-by-one when computing OFDM delta slope
Commit e8f055f0c3 ("ath5k: Update reset code") subtly changed the
code that computes floating point values for the PHY3_TIMING register
such that the exponent is off by a decimal point, which can cause
problems with OFDM channel operation.

get_bitmask_order() actually returns the highest bit set plus one,
whereas the previous code wanted the highest bit set.  Instead, use
ilog2 which is what this code is really calculating.  Also check
coef_scaled to handle the (invalid) case where we need log2(0).

Johannes Berg 88f16db7a2 wext: verify buffer size for SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody
surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext
structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory
but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it
just being the length of the extra buffer - size of
the struct and using the explicit key length only for
the get operation (which only writes it).

Therefore, we have this layout:

extra: +-------------------------+
       | struct iw_encode_ext  { |
       |     ...                 |
       |     u16 key_len;        |
       |     u8 key[0];          |
       | };                      |
       +-------------------------+
       | key material            |
       +-------------------------+

Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without
checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the
extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This
leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer,
depending on the driver it may be possible to specify
arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length
for the key algorithm specified.

Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root
can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as
a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode
or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer).

Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer
along with struct iw_encode_ext.

Chris Friesen 9643f45512 ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

Pablo Neira Ayuso fd2120ca0d net: use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in nlmsg_new() allocations
nlmsg_new() adds the size of the netlink header to the value
that has been passed as parameter. If NLMSG_GOODSIZE is selected,
we request an allocation of one memory page plus the size of the
header. Instead, NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE should be used since it
already substracts the size of the Netlink header.

I have the impression that the similar naming in both constant
is error prone when using it with nlmsg_new(). This is already
documented in include/net/netlink.h

françois romieu 3577aa1bd7 r8169: allow true forced mode setting
Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability
of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the
current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting
the advertised modes.

With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode
settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102.

Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute. The RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03
tweak was extracted from Realtek's r8169 v6.010.00 driver.

Eric Dumazet 93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

Wolfgang Grandegger 39549eef35 can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface
The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to
setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of
common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device
drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver
to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko.

Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN
device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.

For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt"

Eric Dumazet 450c4ea15e vlan: use struct netdev_queue counters instead of dev->stats
We can update netdev_queue tx_bytes/tx_packets/tx_dropped counters instead
of dev->stats ones, to reduce number of cache lines dirtied in xmit path.

This fixes a performance problem on SMP when many different cpus take
vlan tx path.

Eric Dumazet 7004bf252c net: add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped counters in struct netdev_queue
offsetof(struct net_device, features)=0x44
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_packets)=0x54
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_bytes)=0x5c
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_dropped)=0x6c

Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their
tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line
that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths)

We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much.
(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only)

Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct
netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and
counters updates will then be free (no increase in size)
