Patrick McHardy ec68e97ded [NETFILTER]: conntrack: fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup endless loops
Fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup unconfirmed list handling:

- unconfirmed entries can not be killed manually, they are removed on
  confirmation or final destruction of the conntrack entry, which means
  we might iterate forever without making forward progress.

  This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which
  holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when
  the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different
  packet is handled.

- taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the
  locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and
  another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry

What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash
table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be
destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped.

Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark
them as dying and skip confirmation based on that.

Dan Aloni 5c15bdec5c [VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.
This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
external fragmentation conditions.

I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.

Paul Moore c6387a8694 [NetLabel]: Verify sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping
The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that
the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std"
CIPSO DOI type is used.  The end result is that bad packets are sent
on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place.
This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level
mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping.  This patch
also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better
match what the category mapping verification code returns.

Patrick McHardy 4498121ca3 [NET]: Handle disabled preemption in gfp_any()
ctnetlink uses netlink_unicast from an atomic_notifier_chain
(which is called within a RCU read side critical section)
without holding further locks. netlink_unicast calls netlink_trim
with the result of gfp_any() for the gfp flags, which are passed
down to pskb_expand_header. gfp_any() only checks for softirq
context and returns GFP_KERNEL, resulting in this warning:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:3032
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0

Since netlink_unicast is supposed to be callable from within RCU
read side critical sections, make gfp_any() check for in_atomic()
instead of in_softirq().

Additionally nfnetlink_send needs to use gfp_any() as well for the
call to netlink_broadcast).

Vlad Yasevich 8c4a2d41a7 [SCTP]: Fix connection hang/slowdown with PR-SCTP
The problem that this patch corrects happens when all of the following
conditions are satisfisfied:
 1.  PR-SCTP is used and the timeout on the chunks is set below RTO.Max.
 2.  One of the paths on a multihomed associations is brought down.

In this scenario, data will expire within the rto of the initial
transmission and will never be retransmitted.  However this data still
fills the send buffer and is counted against the association as outstanding
data.  This causes any new data not to be sent and retransmission to not
happen.

The fix is to discount the abandoned data from the outstanding count and
peers rwnd estimation.  This allows new data to be sent and a retransmission
timer restarted.  Even though this new data will most likely expire within
the rto, the timer still counts as a strike against the transport and forces
the FORWARD-TSN chunk to be retransmitted as well.

Marcel Holtmann c1a3313698 [Bluetooth] Make use of device_move() for RFCOMM TTY devices
In the case of bound RFCOMM TTY devices the parent is not available
before its usage. So when opening a RFCOMM TTY device, move it to
the corresponding ACL device as a child. When closing the device,
move it back to the virtual device tree.

Marcel Holtmann f5ffd4620a [Bluetooth] Add open and close callbacks for HID device
The open and close callbacks for the HID device are not optional, but
for the Bluetooth HID report mode support it is enough to add empty
dummy callbacks.

Christoph Lameter 53b8a315b7 [PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_ids
We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.

Christoph Lameter 74c7aa8b85 [PATCH] Replace highest_possible_node_id() with nr_node_ids
highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible
node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node
arrays.

I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a
system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry
correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value
needs to be setup only once on bootup.  The node_possible_map does not
change after bootup.

This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of
highest_possible_node_id().  nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the
page allocators pagesets are initialized.
