      [IPV4]: Fix null dereference in ip_defrag · 12b10155
      Phil Oester authored 
      Been seeing occasional panics in my testing of 2.6.25-rc in ip_defrag.
Offending line in ip_defrag is here:

	net = skb->dev->nd_net

where dev is NULL.  Bisected the problem down to commit
ac18e750 ([NETNS][FRAGS]: Make the
inet_frag_queue lookup work in namespaces).  

Below patch (idea from Patrick McHardy) fixes the problem for me.

      [NET] ifb: set separate lockdep classes for queue locks · 94833dfb

lockdep warns of locking order while using ifb with sch_ingress and
act_mirred: ingress_lock, tcfc_lock, queue_lock (usually queue_lock
is at the beginning). This patch is only to tell lockdep that ifb is
a different device (e.g. from eth) and has its own pair of queue
locks. (This warning is a false-positive in common scenario of using
ifb; yet there are possible situations, when this order could be
dangerous; lockdep should warn in such a case.) (With suggestions by
David S. Miller)

      [TCP]: Fix shrinking windows with window scaling · 607bfbf2
      Patrick McHardy authored 
      When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink
the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window
size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window
size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining
window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt.
This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down.


The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7):

- Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...>

- New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes
  below the last end:

IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...>

The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window:

3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832
65832 / 2^7 = 514
65832 % 2^7 = 40

If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have
chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq()
will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before
tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number.
This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it
is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack.

If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of
ACKs until the connection times out.

Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to
the window scaling factor.

      audit: netlink socket can be auto-bound to pid other than current->pid (v2) · 75c0371a
      Pavel Emelyanov authored 
      From:	Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

This patch is based on the one from Thomas.

The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes 
the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from 
the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) 
uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool 
doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates 
it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one.

That's the preamble.

The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees
that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead
it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free
id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent
to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be)
in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then
the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy
and its socket will be bound to another id.

The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys,
that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It
will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be 
got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg.
The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the
decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only.

Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the
kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid
as well.

A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later 
be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use 
pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still 
uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in
the audit_filter_syscall.

      [NET]: Fix permissions of /proc/net · 4f42c288
      Andre Noll authored 
      commit e9720acd ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3))
broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev.

This is due to the change of permissions of /proc/net that was
introduced in that commit.

Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net
After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net

This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes
ganglia happy again.

Pavel Emelyanov says:

	This also broke the postfix, as it was reported in bug #10286
	and described in detail by Benjamin.

      [SCTP]: Fix a race between module load and protosw access · 270637ab
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module
and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions.
In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is
not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw.
Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access
to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized.
The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection
initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list.

The solution is to refactor how we do registration and
initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw.
Care must be taken since the address list initialization
depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization.  Also
the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

      [NETFILTER]: ipt_recent: sanity check hit count · d0ebf133
      Daniel Hokka Zakrisson authored 
      If a rule using ipt_recent is created with a hit count greater than
ip_pkt_list_tot, the rule will never match as it cannot keep track
of enough timestamps. This patch makes ipt_recent refuse to create such
rules.

With ip_pkt_list_tot's default value of 20, the following can be used
to reproduce the problem.

nc -u -l 0.0.0.0 1234 &
for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo $i | nc -w 1 -u 127.0.0.1 1234; done

This limits it to 20 packets:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \
         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 20 --name test --rsource -j DROP

While this is unlimited:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \
         --rsource
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \
         60 --hitcount 21 --name test --rsource -j DROP

With the patch the second rule-set will throw an EINVAL.
