8e26d5ad2f mac80211: Fix STA disconnect due to MIC failure
Th commit titled "mac80211: clean up rx handling wrt. found_sta"
removed found_sta variable which caused a MIC failure event
to be reported twice for a single failure to supplicant resulted
in STA disconnect.

This should fix WPA specific countermeasures WiFi test case (5.2.17)
issues with mac80211 based drivers which report MIC failure events in
rx status.

2c31333a8f mac80211: ignore non-bcast mcast deauth/disassoc franes
This patch fixes an curious issue due to insufficient
rx frame filtering.

Saqeb Akhter reported frequent disconnects while streaming
videos over samba: <http://marc.info/?m=128600031109136>
> [ 1166.512087] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7)
> [ 1526.059997] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7)
> [ 2125.324356] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7)
> [...]

The reason is that the device generates frames with slightly
bogus SA/TA addresses.

e.g.:
 [ 2314.402316] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 [ 2314.402321] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 [ 2352.453804] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 [ 2352.453808] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 					   ^^ the group-address flag is set!
 (the correct SA/TA would be: 00:1f:31:f8:64:ff)

Since the AP does not know from where the frames come, it
generates a DEAUTH response for the (invalid) mcast address.
This mcast deauth frame then passes through all filters and
tricks the stack into thinking that the AP brutally kicked
us!

This patch fixes the problem by simply ignoring
non-broadcast, group-addressed deauth/disassoc frames.

dd318575ff mac80211: fix RX aggregation locking
The RX aggregation locking documentation was
wrong, which led Christian to also code the
timer timeout handling for it somewhat wrongly.

Fix the documentation, the two places that
need to hold the reorder lock across accesses
to the structure, and the debugfs code that
should just use RCU.

Also, remove acquiring the sta->lock across
reorder timeouts since it isn't necessary, and
change a few places to GFP_KERNEL because the
code path here doesn't need atomic allocations
as I noticed when reviewing all this.

This implements the new off-channel TX API
in mac80211 with a new work item type. The
operation doesn't add a new work item when
we're on the right channel and there's no

f7ca38dfe5 nl80211/cfg80211: extend mgmt-tx API for off-channel
With p2p, it is sometimes necessary to transmit
a frame (typically an action frame) on another
channel than the current channel. Enable this
through the CMD_FRAME API, and allow it to wait
for a response. A new command allows that wait
to be aborted.

However, allow userspace to specify whether or
not it wants to allow off-channel TX, it may
actually want to use the same channel only.

7dff312553 mac80211: Fix frame injection using non-AP vif
In order for frame injection to work properly for some use cases
(e.g., finding the station entry and keys for encryption), mac80211
needs to find the correct sdata entry. This works when the main vif
is in AP mode, but commit a2c1e3dad5
broke this particular use case for station main vif. While this type of
injection is quite unusual operation, it has some uses and we should fix
it. Do this by changing the monitor vif sdata selection to allow station
vif to be selected instead of limiting it to just AP vifs. We still need
to skip some iftypes to avoid selecting unsuitable vif for injection.

25888e3031 af_unix: limit recursion level
Its easy to eat all kernel memory and trigger NMI watchdog, using an
exploit program that queues unix sockets on top of others.

lkml ref : http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/25/8

This mechanism is used in applications, one choice we have is to have a
recursion limit.

Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files),
since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue
sizes only.

Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels.

Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its
recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared
when socket receive queue is emptied.

b4ff3c90e6 inet: Fix __inet_inherit_port() to correctly increment bsockets and num_owners
inet sockets corresponding to passive connections are added to the bind hash
using ___inet_inherit_port(). These sockets are later removed from the bind
hash using __inet_put_port(). These two functions are not exactly symmetrical.
__inet_put_port() decrements hashinfo->bsockets and tb->num_owners, whereas
___inet_inherit_port() does not increment them. This results in both of these
going to -ve values.

This patch fixes this by calling inet_bind_hash() from ___inet_inherit_port(),
which does the right thing.

'bsockets' and 'num_owners' were introduced by commit a9d8f9110d
(inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0))

As a preparation step, the calls to the internal macros are replaced

0147fc058d tcp: restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale (#20312)
tcp_win_from_space() does the following:

      if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale <= 0)
              return space >> (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
      else
              return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);

"space" is int.

As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is
undefined behaviour.

Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32,
space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0.

Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf().

Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].

Fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20312

Steps to reproduce:

      echo 32 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_adv_win_scale

cf7afbfeb8 rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes
are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and
one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already
leaving the link behind in a undefined state.

This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions
validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed
to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before
any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to
commit the changes later.

This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient
to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the
validation function method will not be able to detect all error
scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors
depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex
and thus may change between validation and setting.

Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and
config blocks for address families which did not register a set
function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are
returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without
notifying the user.

a5959d53d6 IPVS: Handle Scheduling errors.
If ip_vs_conn_fill_param_persist return an error to ip_vs_sched_persist,
this error must propagate as ignored=-1 to ip_vs_schedule().
Errors from ip_vs_conn_new() in ip_vs_sched_persist() and ip_vs_schedule()

This patch just relies on the fact that ignored is 1 before calling
ip_vs_sched_persist().

Sent from Julian:
  "The new case when ip_vs_conn_fill_param_persist fails
   should set *ignored = -1, so that we can use NF_DROP,
   see below. *ignored = -1 should be also used for ip_vs_conn_new
   failure in ip_vs_sched_persist() and ip_vs_schedule().
   The new negative value should be handled in tcp,udp,sctp"

"To summarize:

- *ignored = 1:
      protocol tried to schedule (eg. on SYN), found svc but the
      svc/scheduler decides that this packet should be accepted with
      NF_ACCEPT because it must not be scheduled.

      scheduler can not find destination, so try bypass or

- *ignored = -1:

      ip_vs_conn_new failure (ENOMEM) or ip_vs_sip_fill_param
      failure such as missing Call-ID, ENOMEM on skb_linearize

99ba2a1428 mac80211: implement packet loss notification
For drivers that have accurate TX status reporting
we can report the number of consecutive lost packets
to userspace using the new cfg80211 CQM event. The
threshold is fixed right now, this may need to be
improved in the future.

c063dbf52b cfg80211: allow using CQM event to notify packet loss
This adds the ability for drivers to use CQM events
to notify about packet loss for specific stations
(which could be the AP for the managed mode case).
Since the threshold might be determined by the
driver (it isn't passed in right now) it will be
passed out of the driver to userspace in the event.

72a8a3edd6 mac80211: reduce the number of retries for nullfunc probing
Since nullfunc frames are transmitted as unicast frames, they're more
reliable than the broadcast probe requests, so we need fewer retries
to figure out whether the AP is really gone.

4e5ff37692 mac80211: use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring
nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests
are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas
nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth
frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows
the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to
transmit the next unicast frame.

This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware
needs to fall back to the probe request method.

Check the connection by probing the AP (either using nullfunc or a

longer valid, the AP will send a disassoc/deauth immediately.

Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval
from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count.  With this beacon
loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which
for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).
