David S. Miller b32d13102d tcp: Fix bitmask test in tcp_syn_options()
As reported by Alexey Dobriyan:

	  CHECK   net/ipv4/tcp_output.c
	net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:475:7: warning: dubious: !x & y

And sparse is damn right!

	if (unlikely(!OPTION_TS & opts->options))
		    ^^^
		size += TCPOLEN_SACKPERM_ALIGNED;

OPTION_TS is (1 << 1), so condition will never trigger.

Gerrit Renker 47112e25da udplite: Protection against coverage value wrap-around
This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF.

Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted
wrap-around.  Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838,
3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful.

Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation.

Herbert Xu c71529e42c netfilter: nf_nat_sip: c= is optional for session
According to RFC2327, the connection information is optional
in the session description since it can be specified in the
media description instead.

My provider does exactly that and does not provide any connection
information in the session description.  As a result the new
kernel drops all invite responses.

This patch makes it optional as documented.

Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki 584015727a netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.

This patch:
 - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
 - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
 - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
 - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
 - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
 - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
 - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
 - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
 - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.

If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

This kernel panic appears with CONFIG_NET_NS=y.

How to reproduce ?

    On the buggy host (host A)
       * ip addr add 1.2.3.4/24 dev eth0

    On a remote host (host B)
       * ip addr add 1.2.3.5/24 dev eth0
       * iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4 -j DROP
       * ssh 1.2.3.4

    On host A:
       * netstat -ta or cat /proc/net/tcp

This bug happens when reading /proc/net/tcp[6] when there is a req_sock
at the SYN_RECV state.

When a SYN is received the minisock is created and the sk field is set to
NULL. In the listening_get_next function, we try to look at the field 
req->sk->sk_net.

When looking at how to fix this bug, I noticed that is useless to do
the check for the minisock belonging to the namespace. A minisock belongs
to a listen point and this one is per namespace, so when browsing the
minisock they are always per namespace.

Adam Langley 33ad798c92 tcp: options clean up
This should fix the following bugs:
  * Connections with MD5 signatures produce invalid packets whenever SACK
    options are included
  * MD5 signatures are counted twice in the MSS calculations

Behaviour changes:
  * A SYN with MD5 + SACK + TS elicits a SYNACK with MD5 + SACK

    This is because we can't fit any SACK blocks in a packet with MD5 + TS
    options. There was discussion about disabling SACK rather than TS in
    order to fit in better with old, buggy kernels, but that was deemed to
    be unnecessary.

  * SYNs with MD5 don't include a TS option

    See above.

Additionally, it removes a bunch of duplicated logic for calculating options,
which should help avoid these sort of issues in the future.

Stephen Hemminger c1e20f7c8b tcp: RTT metrics scaling
Some of the metrics (RTT, RTTVAR and RTAX_RTO_MIN) are stored in
kernel units (jiffies) and this leaks out through the netlink API to
user space where the units for jiffies are unknown.

This patches changes the kernel to convert to/from milliseconds. This
changes the ABI, but milliseconds seemed like the most natural unit
for these parameters.  Values available via syscall in
/proc/net/rt_cache and netlink will be in milliseconds.

Rumen G. Bogdanovski 9d3a0de7dc ipvs: More reliable synchronization on connection close
This patch enhances the synchronization of the closing connections
between the master and the backup director. It prevents the closed
connections to expire with the 15 min timeout of the ESTABLISHED
state on the backup and makes them expire as they would do on the
master with much shorter timeouts.

Sven Wegener 375c6bbabf ipvs: Use schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of msleep_interruptible()
So that kthread_stop() can wake up the thread and we don't have to wait one
second in the worst case for the daemon to actually stop.

Sven Wegener ba6fd85021 ipvs: Put backup thread on mcast socket wait queue
Instead of doing an endless loop with sleeping for one second, we now put the
backup thread onto the mcast socket wait queue and it gets woken up as soon as
we have data to process.

Sven Wegener 998e7a7680 ipvs: Use kthread_run() instead of doing a double-fork via kernel_thread()
This also moves the setup code out of the daemons, so that we're able to
return proper error codes to user space. The current code will return success
to user space when the daemon is started with an invald mcast interface. With
these changes we get an appropriate "No such device" error.

We longer need our own completion to be sure the daemons are actually running,
because they no longer contain code that can fail and kthread_run() takes care
of the rest.
