e8766fc86b ipv6: Check the hop limit setting in ancillary data.
When specifing the outgoing hop limit as ancillary data for sendmsg(),
the kernel doesn't check the integer hop limit value as specified in

36e3deae8b ipv6 route: Fix route lifetime in netlink message.
1) We may have route lifetime larger than INT_MAX.
In that case we had wired value in lifetime.
Use INT_MAX if lifetime does not fit in s32.

2) Lifetime is valid iif RTF_EXPIRES is set.

3de232554a ipv6 netns: Address labels per namespace
This pacth makes IPv6 address labels per network namespace.
It keeps the global label tables, ip6addrlbl_table, but
adds a 'net' member to each ip6addrlbl_entry.
This new member is taken into account when matching labels.

Changelog
=========
* v1: Initial version
* v2:
  * Minize the penalty when network namespaces are not configured:
      *  the 'net' member is added only if CONFIG_NET_NS is
         defined. This saves space when network namespaces are not
         configured.
      * 'net' value is retrieved with the inlined function
         ip6addrlbl_net() that always return &init_net when
         CONFIG_NET_NS is not defined.
  * 'net' member in ip6addrlbl_entry renamed to the less generic
    'lbl_net' name (helps code search).

be4c798a41 dccp: Bug in initial acknowledgment number assignment

           Initialize S.GAR := S.ISS,

but what in fact the code (minisocks.c) does is

7deb0f8510 dccp ccid-3: X truncated due to type conversion
This fixes a bug in computing the inter-packet-interval t_ipi = s/X: 

 scaled_div32(a, b) uses u32 for b, but in "scaled_div32(s, X)" the type of the
 sending rate `X' is u64. Since X is scaled by 2^6, this truncates rates greater
 than 2^26 Bps (~537 Mbps).

Using full 64-bit division now.

1e8a287c79 dccp ccid-3: TFRC reverse-lookup Bug-Fix
This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p,
the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p).

The smallest tabulated value of
	 
   10^6 * f(p) =  sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) 

for p=0.0001 is 8172. 

Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss
of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table
resolution of 0.01%.

This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes
of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput.

Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32).

65907a433a dccp ccid-2: Bug-Fix - Ack Vectors need to be ignored on request sockets
This fixes an oversight from an earlier patch, ensuring that Ack Vectors
are not processed on request sockets.

The issue is that Ack Vectors must not be parsed on request sockets, since
the Ack Vector feature depends on the selection of the (TX) CCID. During the
initial handshake the CCIDs are undefined, and so RFC 4340, 10.3 applies:

 "Using CCID-specific options and feature options during a negotiation
  for the corresponding CCID feature is NOT RECOMMENDED [...]"

And it is not even possible: when the server receives the Request from the 
client, the CCID and Ack vector features are undefined; when the Ack finalising
the 3-way hanshake arrives, the request socket has not been cloned yet into a
full socket. (This order is necessary, since otherwise the newly created socket
would have to be destroyed whenever an option error occurred - a malicious
hacker could simply send garbage options and exploit this.)

3294f202dc dccp ccid-3: Bug-Fix - Zero RTT is possible
In commit $(825de27d9e) (from 27th May, commit
message `dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug'), the CCID-3 window counter
computation was fixed to cope with RTTs < 4 microseconds.

Such RTTs can be found e.g. when running CCID-3 over loopback. The fix removed
a check against RTT < 4, but introduced a divide-by-zero bug.

All steady-state RTTs in DCCP are filtered using dccp_sample_rtt(), which
ensures non-zero samples. However, a zero RTT is possible on initialisation,
when there is no RTT sample from the Request/Response exchange.

The fix is to use the fallback-RTT from RFC 4340, 3.4.

This is also better than just fixing update_win_count() since it allows other
parts of the code to always assume that the RTT is non-zero during the time
that the CCID is used.

Currently the last packet of a connection isn't accounted when its causing
abnormal termination.

Introduces nf_ct_kill_acct() which increments the accounting counters on

to nf_ct_kill() which don't need accounting:

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~847:
Kills ct and returns NF_REPEAT. We don't want to count twice.

nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c line ~880:
Kills ct and returns NF_DROP. I think we don't want to count dropped
packets.

nf_conntrack_netlink.c line ~824:
As far as I can see ctnetlink_del_conntrack() is used to destroy a
conntrack on behalf of the user. There is an sk_buff, but I don't think
this is an actual packet. Incrementing counters here is therefore not
desired.

560ee653b6 netfilter: ip_tables: add iptables security table for mandatory access control rules
The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so
that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to
standard DAC rules.

This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based
network controls, per various previous discussions.

The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools
and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy
management.

The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle
table to prevent breakage of existing users.

be038b3764 mac80211: Checking IBSS support while changing channel in ad-hoc mode
This patch adds a check to the set_channel flow. When attempting to change
the channel while in IBSS mode, and the new channel does not support IBSS
mode, the flow return with an error value with no consequences on the
mac80211 and driver state.

872ba53395 mac80211: decrease IBSS creation latency
Sufficient scans (at least 2 or 3) should have been done within 7
seconds to find an existing IBSS to join.  This should improve IBSS
creation latency; and since IBSS merging is still in effect, shouldn't
have detrimental effects on eventual IBSS convergence.

ad81b2f97d mac80211: Fixing slow IBSS rejoin
This patch fixes the issue of slow reconnection to an IBSS cell after
disconnection from it. Now the interface's bssid is reset upon ifdown.

ieee80211_sta_find_ibss:
if (found && memcmp(ifsta->bssid, bssid, ETH_ALEN) != 0 &&
	    (bss = ieee80211_rx_bss_get(dev, bssid,
					local->hw.conf.channel->center_freq,
					ifsta->ssid, ifsta->ssid_len)))

Note:
In general disconnection is still not handled properly in mac80211

ddb2c43594 asn1: additional sanity checking during BER decoding
- Don't trust a length which is greater than the working buffer.
  An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size
  for decoding oid.

- An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when
  decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids.

- A primitive encoding may not have an indefinite length.

Thanks to Wei Wang from McAfee for report.
