cache
If we don't find the item we are lookng for, we allocate a new one, and
then grab the lock again and search to see if it has been added while we
did the alloc. If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly
created item that we are never going to use. But as it hasn't been
initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops.
So move the ->init call earlier to that it will always be fully initilised
if we have to put it.
Thanks to Philipp Matthias Hahn <pmhahn@svs.Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.de>
for reporting the problem.

In bug #6954, Norbert Reinartz reported the following issue:
"Function lapb_setparms() in file net/lapb/lapb_iface.c checks if the given
parameters are valid. If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127,
lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit
LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set.
If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range
of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and
the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false.
Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window
< 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault.
This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'.
Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't
used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our
software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found
this bug"
He also pasted a fix, that I've transformated into a patch:

The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways.
These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel
version of STP.
First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet
in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets
into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue
because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call
was just copying out old data.
Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call
on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on
SOCK_DGRAM.
This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics
but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's
interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.

Remove the lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() calls from
net_dma_rebalance
The lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() sequence in
net_dma_rebalance is both incorrect (as pointed out by David Miller)
because lock_cpu_hotplug() may sleep while the net_dma_event_lock
spinlock is held, and unnecessary (as pointed out by Andrew Morton) as
spin_lock() disables preemption which protects from CPU hotplug
events.

From: Catherine Zhang <cxzhang@watson.ibm.com>
This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the
original unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a
security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the
security context when the receiver requests it.
This new design requires modification of the current
unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely,
secid_to_secctx and release_secctx. The former retrieves the security
context and the latter releases it. A hook is required for releasing
the security context because it is up to the security module to decide
how that's done. In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree
operation.

When I tested linux kernel 2.6.71.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates", and found that it couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC 2465:
ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of output datagram fragments that have
been generated as a result of fragmentation at
this output interface."
::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 }
I think there are two issues in Linux kernel.
1st:
RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram
fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment
successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a
fragment is created but failed to output.
2nd:
If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive
ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in
Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying
transport layer is better), but this is not the "real"
fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date,
and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer
-- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for
ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by
upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

We have a more complete solution in the works, involving
the seperation of CHECKSUM_HW on input vs. output, and
having netfilter properly do incremental checksums.
But that is a very involved patch and is thus 2.6.19
material.
What we have now is infinitely better than the past,
wherein all TSO packets were dropped due to corrupt
checksums as soon at the NAT module was loaded. At
least now, the checksums do get fixed up, it just
isn't the cleanest nor most optimal solution.

Based upon guidance from Alexey Kuznetsov.
When linger2 is active, we check to see if the fin_wait2
timeout is longer than the timewait. If it is, we schedule
the keepalive timer for the difference between the timewait
timeout and the fin_wait2 timeout.
When this orphan socket is seen by tcp_keepalive_timer()
it will try to transform this fin_wait2 socket into a
fin_wait2 mini-socket, again if linger2 is active.
Not all paths were setting this initial keepalive timer correctly.
The tcp input path was doing it correctly, but tcp_close() wasn't,
potentially making the socket linger longer than it really needs to.

The patch below fixes a problem in the iptables SECMARK target, where
the user-supplied 'selctx' string may not be nul-terminated.
From initial analysis, it seems that the strlen() called from
selinux_string_to_sid() could run until it arbitrarily finds a zero,
and possibly cause a kernel oops before then.
The impact of this appears limited because the operation requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is essentially always root. Also, the module is
not yet in wide use.

Refer to RFC2012, tcpAttemptFails is defined as following:
tcpAttemptFails OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of times TCP connections have made a direct
transition to the CLOSED state from either the SYN-SENT
state or the SYN-RCVD state, plus the number of times TCP
connections have made a direct transition to the LISTEN
state from the SYN-RCVD state."
::= { tcp 7 }
When I lookup into RFC793, I found that the state change should occured
under following condition:
1. SYN-SENT -> CLOSED
a) Received ACK,RST segment when SYN-SENT state.
2. SYN-RCVD -> CLOSED
b) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
c) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
d) Received SYN segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from SYN-SENT).
3. SYN-RCVD -> LISTEN
e) Received RST segment when SYN-RCVD state(came from LISTEN).
In my test, those direct state transition can not be counted to
tcpAttemptFails.

The current users of ip6_dst_lookup can be divided into two classes:
1) The caller holds no locks and is in user-context (UDP).
2) The caller does not want to lookup the dst cache at all.
The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do
the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup. This patch
adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class.
Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to
take the socket dst lock and those that don't. This patch adds
__ip6_dst_store for those (everyone except UDP/datagram) that don't
need an extra lock.

This patch implements ERP handling in softmac so that the drivers can support
protection and preambles properly.
I added a new struct, ieee80211softmac_bss_info, which is used for
BSS-dependent variables like these.
A new hook has been added (bssinfo_change), which allows the drivers to be
notified when anything in bssinfo changes.
I modified the txrates_change API to match the bssinfo_change API. The
existing one is a little messy and the usefulness of providing the old rates
is questionable (and can be implemented at driver level if really necessary).
No drivers are using this API (yet), so this should be safe.

Does raw socket return any information stored in port field?
