Pavel Emelyanov 52f095ee88 [IPV6]: Fix again the fl6_sock_lookup() fixed locking
YOSHIFUJI fairly pointed out, that the users increment should
be done under the ip6_sk_fl_lock not to give IPV6_FL_A_PUT a
chance to put this count to zero and release the flowlabel.

Pavel Emelyanov 78c2e50253 [IPV6]: Fix race in ipv6_flowlabel_opt() when inserting two labels
In the IPV6_FL_A_GET case the hash is checked for flowlabels
with the given label. If it is not found, the lock, protecting 
the hash, is dropped to be re-get for writing. After this a
newly allocated entry is inserted, but no checks are performed
to catch a classical SMP race, when the conflicting label may 
be inserted on another cpu.

Use the (currently unused) return value from fl_intern() to
return the conflicting entry (if found) and re-check, whether
we can reuse it (IPV6_FL_F_EXCL) or return -EEXISTS.

Also add the comment, about why not re-lookup the current
sock for conflicting flowlabel entry.

Jeff Garzik bfaae0f04c [NET]: fix carrier-on bug?
While looking at a net driver with the following construct,

	if (!netif_carrier_ok(dev))
		netif_carrier_on(dev);

it stuck me that the netif_carrier_ok() check was redundant, since
netif_carrier_on() checks bit __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER anyway.  This is
the same reason why netif_queue_stopped() need not be called prior to
netif_wake_queue().

This is true, but there is however an unwanted side effect from assuming
that netif_carrier_on() can be called multiple times:  it touches the
watchdog, regardless of pre-existing carrier state.

The fix:  move watchdog-up inside the bit-cleared code path.

Herbert Xu 13996378e6 [IPSEC]: Rename mode to outer_mode and add inner_mode
This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode.  The existing
mode object is renamed to outer_mode.

This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms.  As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use.  As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.

What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part.  For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.

I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.

Combining RO and AH/ESP/IPCOMP does not make sense.  So this patch adds a

Herbert Xu ed3e37ddb0 [IPSEC]: Use the top IPv4 route's peer instead of the bottom
For IPv4 we were using the bottom route's peer instead of the top one.
This is wrong because the peer is only used by TCP to keep track of
information about the TCP destination address which certainly does not
live in the bottom route.

This patch fixes that which allows us to get rid of the family check
since the bottom route could be IPv6 while the top one must always
be IPv4.

I've also changed the other fields which are IPv4-specific to get the
info from the top route instead of potentially bogus data from the
bottom route.

Herbert Xu 17c2a42a24 [IPSEC]: Store afinfo pointer in xfrm_mode
It is convenient to have a pointer from xfrm_state to address-specific
functions such as the output function for a family.  Currently the
address-specific policy code calls out to the xfrm state code to get
those pointers when we could get it in an easier way via the state
itself.

This patch adds an xfrm_state_afinfo to xfrm_mode (since they're
address-specific) and changes the policy code to use it.  I've also
added an owner field to do reference counting on the module providing
the afinfo even though it isn't strictly necessary today since IPv6
can't be unloaded yet.

Herbert Xu 1bfcb10f67 [IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checks
Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack
like tunnel mode does.  Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode
this is incorrect.

This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that
tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet
back into the stack.

It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode.

I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check
whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

mode encapsulation does not affect the hardware checksum at all.  In fact,

Latchesar Ionkov ba17674fe0 9p: attach-per-user
The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.

Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.

This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):

- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
 If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
 sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
 the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
 As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
 only with the 9P2000.u dialect.

- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
 Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
 to access it will get EPERM error.

- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
 V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
 If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
 one.

This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem.  In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.

This has a number of uses.  It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable.  It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems.  This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.

It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated.  I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired.  It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it.  It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.

This patch:

Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.

This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.

Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

David Howells 76181c134f KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous
Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them.  There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.

Note that the construction queue is now gone.  Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it.  This is done automatically for userspace.

The following auxiliary changes are also made:

 (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
     linux/key-type.h.

 (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
     not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.

 (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
     they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
     __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

 (3) Documentation.

Rusty Russell af49d9248f Remove "unsafe" from module struct
Adrian Bunk points out that "unsafe" was used to mark modules touched by
the deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT interface, which has long gone.  It's time
to remove the member from the module structure, as well.

If you want a module which can't unload, don't register an exit function.

(Vlad Yasevich says SCTP is now safe to unload, so just remove the
__unsafe there).

Christoph Lameter 4ba9b9d0ba Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters
Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel

John W. Linville cffdd30d20 [PATCH] mac80211: store SSID in sta_bss_list
Some AP equipment "in the wild" services multiple SSIDs using the
same BSSID.  This patch changes the key of sta_bss_list to include
the SSID as well as the BSSID and the channel so as to prevent one
SSID from eclipsing another SSID with the same BSSID.

Some AP equipment "in the wild" uses the same BSSID on multiple channels
(particularly "a" vs. "b/g").  This patch changes the key of sta_bss_list
to include both the BSSID and the channel so as to prevent a BSSID on
one channel from eclipsing the same BSSID on another channel.
