When initiating dedicated bonding a L2CAP raw socket with HIGH security
level is used. The kernel is supposed to trigger the authentication
request in this case but this doesn't happen currently for non-SSP
(pre-2.1) devices. The reason is that the authentication request happens
in the remote extended features callback which never gets called for
non-SSP devices. This patch fixes the issue by requesting also
authentiation in the (normal) remote features callback in the case of
non-SSP devices.
This rule is applied only for HIGH security level which might at first
seem unintuitive since on the server socket side MEDIUM is already
enough for authentication. However, for the clients we really want to
prefer the server side to decide the authentication requrement in most
cases, and since most client sockets use MEDIUM it's better to be
avoided on the kernel side for these sockets. The important socket to
request it for is the dedicated bonding one and that socket uses HIGH
security level.
The patch is based on the initial investigation and patch proposal from
Andrei Emeltchenko <endrei.emeltchenko@nokia.com>.

For client STA interfaces, ieee80211_do_stop unsets the relevant
interface's SDATA_STATE_RUNNING state bit prior to cancelling an
interrupted scan. When ieee80211_offchannel_return is invoked as
part of cancelling the scan, it doesn't bother unsetting the
SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit because it sees that the interface is
down. Normally this doesn't matter because when the client STA
interface is brought back up, it will probably issue a scan. But
in some cases (e.g., the user changes the interface type while it
is down), the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit will remain set. This
prevents the interface queues from being started. So we
cancel the scan before unsetting the SDATA_STATE_RUNNING bit.

We were using nlmsg_find_attr() to look up the bytecode by attribute when
auditing, but then just using the first attribute when actually running
bytecode. So, if we received a message with two attribute elements, where only
the second had type INET_DIAG_REQ_BYTECODE, we would validate and run different
bytecode strings.
Fix this by consistently using nlmsg_find_attr everywhere.

There're some percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings
in recent kernel, which is resulted by fc66f95c.
commit fc66f95c switches to use percpu_counter, in ip6_route_net_init, kernel
init the percpu_counter for dst entries, but, the percpu_counter is never destroyed
in ip6_route_net_exit. So if the related data is freed by kernel, the freed percpu_counter
is still on the list, then if we insert/remove other percpu_counter, list corruption
resulted. Also, if the insert/remove option modifies the ->prev,->next pointer of
the freed value, the poison overwritten is resulted then.
With the following patch, the percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten
warnings disappeared.

If the client gets out of sync with the server message sequence number, we
normally skip low seq messages (ones we already received). The skip code
was also incrementing the expected seq, such that all subsequent messages
also appeared old and got skipped, and an eventual timeout on the osd
connection. This resulted in some lagging requests and console messages
like

In dev_pick_tx recompute the queue index if the value stored in the
socket is greater than or equal to the number of real queues for the
device. The saved index in the sock structure is not guaranteed to
be appropriate for the egress device (this could happen on a route
change or in presence of tunnelling). The result of the queue index
being bad would be to return a bogus queue (crash could prersumably
follow).

Even with the previous fix, we still are reading the iovecs once
to determine SGs needed, and then again later on. Preallocating
space for sg lists as part of rds_message seemed like a good idea
but it might be better to not do this. While working to redo that
code, this patch attempts to protect against userspace rewriting
the rds_iovec array between the first and second accesses.
The consequences of this would be either a too-small or too-large
sg list array. Too large is not an issue. This patch changes all
callers of message_alloc_sgs to handle running out of preallocated
sgs, and fail gracefully.

Change rds_rdma_pages to take a passed-in rds_iovec array instead
of doing copy_from_user itself.
Change rds_cmsg_rdma_args to copy rds_iovec array once only. This
eliminates the possibility of userspace changing it after our
sanity checks.
Implement stack-based storage for small numbers of iovecs, based
on net/socket.c, to save an alloc in the extremely common case.
Although this patch reduces iovec copies in cmsg_rdma_args to 1,
we still do another one in rds_rdma_extra_size. Getting rid of
that one will be trickier, so it'll be a separate patch.

As reported by Thomas Pollet, the rdma page counting can overflow. We
get the rdma sizes in 64-bit unsigned entities, but then limit it to
UINT_MAX bytes and shift them down to pages (so with a possible "+1" for
an unaligned address).
So each individual page count fits comfortably in an 'unsigned int' (not
even close to overflowing into signed), but as they are added up, they
might end up resulting in a signed return value. Which would be wrong.
Catch the case of tot_pages turning negative, and return the appropriate
error code.

I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while
reading through the code. Patch below.
The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually
returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also
returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local
variable rather than a int one.
Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but
the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating
on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with
-ENOMEM in that case.

A program that accidentally writes too much data to the pktgen file can overflow
the kernel stack and oops the machine. This is only triggerable by root, so
there's no security issue, but it's still an unfortunate bug.
printk() won't print more than 1024 bytes in a single call, anyways, so let's
just never copy more than that much data. We're on a fairly shallow stack, so
that should be safe even with CONFIG_4KSTACKS.

This helps protect us from overflow issues down in the
individual protocol sendmsg/recvmsg handlers. Once
we hit INT_MAX we truncate out the rest of the iovec
by setting the iov_len members to zero.
This works because:
1) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets, partial
writes are allowed and the application will just continue
with another write to send the rest of the data.
2) For datagram oriented sockets, where there must be a
one-to-one correspondance between write() calls and
packets on the wire, INT_MAX is going to be far larger
than the packet size limit the protocol is going to
check for and signal with -EMSGSIZE.

This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with
different types of CCID, addressing the following problems:
1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for
example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the
application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked
could lead to an indefinite delay (i.e., application "hangs").
2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes
in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to
further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate.
3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length
times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay
of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait
for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit.
4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would
be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then
the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can
be set via the SO_LINGER option.
These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the
`timeout' value.
The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application
(a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and
(b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or
(c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ
state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq).
In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for
the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when
(a) the host has been passively-closed,
(b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time),
(c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow
1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent;
2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds).
The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network-
limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption).
The mode of operation for (2) is as follows:
* new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(),
* ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full),
* it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER',
* dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action;
* after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true,
* that CCID schedules the tasklet,
* tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(),
* since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now",
* packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops).
Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function
reduces to a wrapper around the same code.
