David S. Miller 79b3891587 irda: iriap: Use seperate lockdep class for irias_objects->hb_spinlock
The SEQ output functions grab the obj->attrib->hb_spinlock lock of
sub-objects found in the hash traversal.  These locks are in a different
realm than the one used for the irias_objects hash table itself.

So put the latter into it's own lockdep class.

This interface uses a temporary buffer, but for no real reason.
And now can generate warnings like:

J. Bruce Fields b084f598df nfsd: fix dependency of nfsd on auth_rpcgss
Commit b0b0c0a26e "nfsd: add proc file listing kernel's gss_krb5
enctypes" added an nunnecessary dependency of nfsd on the auth_rpcgss
module.

It's a little ad hoc, but since the only piece of information nfsd needs
from rpcsec_gss_krb5 is a single static string, one solution is just to
share it with an include file.

This patch fixes a refcount leak of ct objects that may occur if
l4proto->error() assigns one conntrack object to one skbuff. In
that case, we have to skip further processing in nf_conntrack_in().

With this patch, we can also fix wrong return values (-NF_ACCEPT)
for special cases in ICMP[v6] that should not bump the invalid/error

Julian Anastasov afb523c547 ipvs: restore support for iptables SNAT
Fix the IPVS priority in LOCAL_IN hook,
so that SNAT target in POSTROUTING is supported for IPVS
traffic as in 2.6.36 where it worked depending on
module load order.

	Before 2.6.37 we used priority 100 in LOCAL_IN to
process remote requests. We used the same priority as
iptables SNAT and if IPVS handlers are installed before
SNAT handlers we supported SNAT in POSTROUTING for the IPVS
traffic. If SNAT is installed before IPVS, the netfilter
handlers are before IPVS and netfilter checks the NAT
table twice for the IPVS requests: once in LOCAL_IN where
IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE is set and second time in POSTROUTING
where the SNAT rules are ignored because IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE
was already set in LOCAL_IN.

	But in 2.6.37 we changed the IPVS priority for
LOCAL_IN with the goal to be unique (101) forgetting the
fact that for IPVS traffic we should not walk both
LOCAL_IN and POSTROUTING nat tables.

	So, change the priority for processing remote
IPVS requests from 101 to 99, i.e. before NAT_SRC (100)
because we prefer to support SNAT in POSTROUTING
instead of LOCAL_IN. It also moves the priority for
IPVS replies from 99 to 98. Use constants instead of
magic numbers at these places.

        if (!file)

        ei = PROC_I(file->f_dentry->d_inode);

while in proc_ns_fget() we have two return ERR_PTR(...) and not a single
path that would return NULL.  The other caller of proc_ns_fget() treats
ERR_PTR() correctly...

Koki Sanagi ec764bf083 net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden

Chris Metcalf 48bdf072c3 ip_options_compile: properly handle unaligned pointer
The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to
make it big-endian, then does a memcpy().  The problem is that the
compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal
to optimize the copy into a processor word store.  However, on an
architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space,
this produces an unaligned exception fault.

The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch
of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32()
to write the value to memory.

Sven Eckelmann bb899b89f4 batman-adv: Ensure that we really have route changes in update_route
The debug output of update_route has tests for "route deleted" and "route
added". All other situations are handled as "route changed". This is not
true because neigh_node and curr_router could be both NULL.

The function is not called in this situation, but the code might be
interpreted wrong when reading it without this test.

Antonio Quartulli 44e92bc8d6 batman-adv: use is_broadcast_ether_addr() instead of compare_eth(.., brd_addr)
Instead of comparing mac addresses with the broadcast address by means
of compare_eth(), the is_broadcast_ether_addr() kernel function has to be
used.

Sven Eckelmann 0bb857511b batman-adv: Check type of x and y in seq_(before|after)
seq_before and seq_after depend on the fact that both sequence numbers
have the same type and thus the same bitwidth. We can ensure that by
compile time checking using a compare between the pointer to the
temporary buffers which were created using the typeof of both
parameters. For example gcc would create a warning like
"warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast".

Antonio Quartulli f5d33d3778 batman-adv: move smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() into main.h
smallest_signed_int(), seq_before() and seq_after() are very useful
functions that help to handle comparisons between sequence numbers.
However they were only defined in vis.c. With this patch every
batman-adv function will be able to use them.
