      [Bluetooth] Fix regression from using default link policy · 7c6a329e
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      To speed up the Simple Pairing connection setup, the support for the
default link policy has been enabled. This is in contrast to settings
the link policy on every connection setup. Using the default link policy
is the preferred way since there is no need to dynamically change it for
every connection.

For backward compatibility reason and to support old userspace the
HCISETLINKPOL ioctl has been switched over to using hci_request() to
issue the HCI command for setting the default link policy instead of
just storing it in the HCI device structure.

However the hci_request() can only be issued when the device is
brought up. If used on a device that is registered, but still down
it will timeout and fail. This is problematic since the command is
put on the TX queue and the Bluetooth core tries to submit it to
hardware that is not ready yet. The timeout for these requests is
10 seconds and this causes a significant regression when setting up
a new device.

The userspace can perfectly handle a failure of the HCISETLINKPOL
ioctl and will re-submit it later, but the 10 seconds delay causes
a problem. So in case hci_request() is called on a device that is
still down, just fail it with ENETDOWN to indicate what happens.

      ipv6: Fix OOPS in ip6_dst_lookup_tail(). · e550dfb0
      Neil Horman authored 
      This fixes kernel bugzilla 11469: "TUN with 1024 neighbours:
ip6_dst_lookup_tail NULL crash"

dst->neighbour is not necessarily hooked up at this point
in the processing path, so blindly dereferencing it is
the wrong thing to do.  This NULL check exists in other
similar paths and this case was just an oversight.

Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation
here while we're at it.

Based upon a patch by Evgeniy Polyakov.

      ipsec: Restore larval states and socket policies in dump · 225f4005
      Herbert Xu authored 
      The commit commit 4c563f76 ("[XFRM]:
Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") inadvertently removed
larval states and socket policies from netlink dumps.  This patch
restores them.

      [Bluetooth] Reject L2CAP connections on an insecure ACL link · e7c29cb1
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict
authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job
to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the
acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing
any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for
the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an
insecure ACL link.

Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the
connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to
do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP).

The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the
integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases
where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on
an older specification.

      [Bluetooth] Enforce correct authentication requirements · 09ab6f4c
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      With the introduction of Security Mode 4 and Simple Pairing from the
Bluetooth 2.1 specification it became mandatory that the initiator
requires authentication and encryption before any L2CAP channel can
be established. The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service
discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption
since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0
and before handle connections on PSM 1.

For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between
no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer
wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it
should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication
requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used,
but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding.

If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it
also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on
requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM
protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive
operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice
during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing
a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected
Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known
up-front and so enforce them.

To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended
with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside
the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any
time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in
the expected behavior.

      [Bluetooth] Fix reference counting during ACL config stage · f1c08ca5
      Marcel Holtmann authored 
      The ACL config stage keeps holding a reference count on incoming
connections when requesting the extended features. This results in
keeping an ACL link up without any users. The problem here is that
the Bluetooth specification doesn't define an ownership of the ACL
link and thus it can happen that the implementation on the initiator
side doesn't care about disconnecting unused links. In this case the
acceptor needs to take care of this.
