Currently the devices that have already stripped IEEE 802.11
header from the AMSDU SKB can not use ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s
routine. This patch enhances ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() API by
changing mandatory removing of IEEE 802.11 header from AMSDU
to optional.

The list_for_each_entry loop can fail, in which case the list element is
not removed from the list rfkill_fds. Since this list is not accessed by
the loop, the addition of &data->list into the list is just moved after the
loop.
The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:

This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of
mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be
done.
Due the the previous patches, the annotations
are pretty simple. The only thing that this
actually changes is removing the RCU usage of
key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't
actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
a single assignment done before the key even
goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
decided to make it part of this patch.

During my quest to make mac80211 not have any RCU
warnings from sparse, I came across the a-MPDU code
again and it wasn't quite clear why it isn't racy.
So instead of assigning the tid_tx array with just
the spinlock held in ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session
use a separate temporary array protected only by
the spinlock and protect all assignments to the
"live" array by both the spinlock and the mutex so
that other code is easily verified to be correct.
Due to pointer assignment atomicity I don't think
this is a real issue, but I'm not sure, especially
on Alpha the current code might be problematic.

Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

udp_ioctl() really handles UDP and UDPLite protocols.
1) It can increment UDP_MIB_INERRORS in case first_packet_length() finds
a frame with bad checksum.
2) It has a dependency on sizeof(struct udphdr), not applicable to
ICMP/PING
If ping sockets need to handle SIOCINQ/SIOCOUTQ ioctl, this should be
done differently.

This code block executes when opt->srr_is_hit is set. It will be
set only by ip_options_rcv_srr().
ip_options_rcv_srr() walks until it hits a matching nexthop in the SRR
option addresses, and when it matches one 1) looks up the route for
that nexthop and 2) on route lookup success it writes that nexthop
value into iph->daddr.
ip_forward_options() runs later, and again walks the SRR option
addresses looking for the option matching the destination of the route
stored in skb_rtable(). This route will be the same exact one looked
up for the nexthop by ip_options_rcv_srr().
Therefore "rt->rt_dst == iph->daddr" must be true.
All it really needs to do is record the route's source address in the
matching SRR option adddress. It need not write iph->daddr again,
since that has already been done by ip_options_rcv_srr() as detailed
above.

In commit 1c5cae815d19 (net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice),
a bug of bonding was involved, see example 1 and 2.
In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until
dev_get_valid_name() is called. But dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init(that is
bond_init) is called before dev_get_valid_name(),
and it uses the invalid name of net_device.
I think register_netdevice() should make sure that the name of net_device is
valid before calling ndo_init().

modprobe bonding

This patch adds IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind. It makes it possible to send
ICMP_ECHO messages and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages
without any special privileges. In other words, the patch makes it
possible to implement setuid-less and CAP_NET_RAW-less /bin/ping. In
order not to increase the kernel's attack surface, the new functionality
is disabled by default, but is enabled at bootup by supporting Linux
distributions, optionally with restriction to a group or a group range
(see below).
Similar functionality is implemented in Mac OS X:
http://www.manpagez.com/man/4/icmp/
A new ping socket is created with
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, PROT_ICMP)
Message identifiers (octets 4-5 of ICMP header) are interpreted as local
ports. Addresses are stored in struct sockaddr_in. No port numbers are
reserved for privileged processes, port 0 is reserved for API ("let the
kernel pick a free number"). There is no notion of remote ports, remote
port numbers provided by the user (e.g. in connect()) are ignored.
Data sent and received include ICMP headers. This is deliberate to:
1) Avoid the need to transport headers values like sequence numbers by
other means.
2) Make it easier to port existing programs using raw sockets.
ICMP headers given to send() are checked and sanitized. The type must be
ICMP_ECHO and the code must be zero (future extensions might relax this,
see below). The id is set to the number (local port) of the socket, the
checksum is always recomputed.
ICMP reply packets received from the network are demultiplexed according
to their id's, and are returned by recv() without any modifications.
IP header information and ICMP errors of those packets may be obtained
via ancillary data (IP_RECVTTL, IP_RETOPTS, and IP_RECVERR). ICMP source
quenches and redirects are reported as fake errors via the error queue
(IP_RECVERR); the next hop address for redirects is saved to ee_info (in
network order).
socket(2) is restricted to the group range specified in
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range". It is "1 0" by default, meaning
that nobody (not even root) may create ping sockets. Setting it to "100
100" would grant permissions to the single group (to either make
/sbin/ping g+s and owned by this group or to grant permissions to the
"netadmins" group), "0 4294967295" would enable it for the world, "100
4294967295" would enable it for the users, but not daemons.
The existing code might be (in the unlikely case anyone needs it)
extended rather easily to handle other similar pairs of ICMP messages
(Timestamp/Reply, Information Request/Reply, Address Mask Request/Reply
etc.).
Userspace ping util & patch for it:
http://openwall.info/wiki/people/segoon/ping
For Openwall GNU/*/Linux it was the last step on the road to the
setuid-less distro. A revision of this patch (for RHEL5/OpenVZ kernels)
is in use in Owl-current, such as in the 2011/03/12 LiveCD ISOs:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/openwall/Owl/current/iso/
Initially this functionality was written by Pavel Kankovsky for
Linux 2.4.32, but unfortunately it was never made public.
All ping options (-b, -p, -Q, -R, -s, -t, -T, -M, -I), are tested with
the patch.
PATCH v3:
- switched to flowi4.
- minor changes to be consistent with raw sockets code.
PATCH v2:
- changed ping_debug() to pr_debug().
- removed CONFIG_IP_PING.
- removed ping_seq_fops.owner field (unused for procfs).
- switched to proc_net_fops_create().
- switched to %pK in seq_printf().
PATCH v1:
- fixed checksumming bug.
- CAP_NET_RAW may not create icmp sockets anymore.
RFC v2:
- minor cleanups.
- introduced sysctl'able group range to restrict socket(2).

Remove all remaining references to rt->rt_{src,dst}
by using dest->dst_saddr to cache saddr (used for TUN mode).
For ICMP in FORWARD hook just restrict the rt_mode for NAT
to disable LOCALNODE. All other modes do not allow
IP_VS_RT_MODE_RDR, so we should be safe with the ICMP
forwarding. Using cp->daddr as replacement for rt_dst
is safe for all modes except BYPASS, even when cp->dest is
NULL because it is cp->daddr that is used to assign cp->dest
for sync-ed connections.

When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls
synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct
garp_applicant before we free it.
Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle
optimizations.
Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending
call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when
kfree_rcu() is available ]

This variable only needs initialization when cmsgs.info
is NULL.
Use memset to ensure padding is also zeroed so
kernel doesn't leak any data.

While trying to remove useless synchronize_rcu() calls, I found l2tp is
indeed incorrectly using two of such calls, but also bumps tunnel
refcount after list insertion.
tunnel refcount must be incremented before being made publically visible
by rcu readers.
This fix can be applied to 2.6.35+ and might need a backport for older
kernels, since things were shuffled in commit fd558d186df2c
(l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts)

There's no need to have table functions in one
file and all users in another, move the functions
to the right file and make them static. Also move
a static variable to the beginning of the file to
make it easier to find.

When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls
cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag
"driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the
necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to
prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not
between mac80211 and cfg80211.
To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling
cfg80211. To help with locking issues, the workqueue was moved from
cfg80211 to mac80211.

A few configuration functions correctly do
rcu_read_lock() but don't correctly reference
some pointers protected by RCU. Fix that.
