Jeff Garzik 5ebf6e6a96 pda_power: clean up irq, timer
Clean up pda_power interrupt handling:

Prior to this patch, the driver would pass information it needed
to the interrupt handler dev_id pointer, and then prompt forget it
ever did so, recreating that same information after a couple passes
through the timer-based state machine.

This patch removes the redundant checks by passing the
pda_power_supply[] pointer through the state machine.  The current
code passed 'irq' through the state machine, as an index to recreate
the pointer, when we could more simply pass around the pointer itself.

This patch makes it easier to remove the 'irq' argument in the future,
in addition to cleaning up the driver today.

Patrick McHardy 73ca4918fb [NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify support
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return
it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With
NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier
and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support
qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to
remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since
we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this.

This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles
reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it.

This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous
NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain
compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with
NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two
incompatible options around forever.

Dmitry Butskoy f13ec93fba [IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw sockets
From: Dmitry Butskoy <dmitry@butskoy.name>

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747

Problem Description:

It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp
and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected.

There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages
to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket
is CONNECTED.  The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses.

Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is
looked up usual way, it is something like:

sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif);

where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local
address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end).

But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in
net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed
fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e.  "daddr" is the original destination
address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address.  Hence, for
icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr"
...

Steps to reproduce:

Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error
situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach.
Set IPV6_RECVERR .
Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN).
You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the
socket do not receive it.

If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE
successfully.  (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual
checks for local/remote addresses).

Patrick McHardy 0621ed2e4e [NET_SCHED]: Revert "avoid transmit softirq on watchdog wakeup" optimization
As noticed by Ranko Zivojnovic <ranko@spidernet.net>, calling qdisc_run
from the timer handler can result in deadlock:

> CPU#0
>
> qdisc_watchdog() fires and gets dev->queue_lock
> qdisc_run()...qdisc_restart()...
> -> releases dev->queue_lock and enters dev_hard_start_xmit()
>

>
> tc del qdisc dev ...
> qdisc_graft()...dev_graft_qdisc()...dev_deactivate()...
> -> grabs dev->queue_lock ...
>
> qdisc_reset()...{cbq,hfsc,htb,netem,tbf}_reset()...qdisc_watchdog_cancel()...
> -> hrtimer_cancel() - waiting for the qdisc_watchdog() to exit, while still
>		        holding dev->queue_lock
>
> CPU#0
>
> dev_hard_start_xmit() returns ...
> -> wants to get dev->queue_lock(!)
>
> DEADLOCK!

The entire optimization is a bit questionable IMO, it moves potentially
large parts of NET_TX_SOFTIRQ work to TIMER_SOFTIRQ/HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ,
which kind of defeats the separation of them.

Yasuyuki Kozakai 130e7a83d7 [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: Don't track locally generated special ICMP error
The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one
assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if
the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack
is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign
any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current
nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current
code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes
the address to be mangled.

To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack
to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled
in this case.

Patrick McHardy 24023451c8 [NET]: Add net_device change_rx_mode callback
Currently the set_multicast_list (and set_rx_mode) callbacks are
responsible for configuring the device according to the IFF_PROMISC,
IFF_MULTICAST and IFF_ALLMULTI flags and the mc_list (and uc_list in
case of set_rx_mode).

These callbacks can be invoked from BH context without the rtnl_mutex
by dev_mc_add/dev_mc_delete, which makes reading the device flags and
promiscous/allmulti count racy. For real hardware drivers that just
commit all changes to the hardware this is not a real problem since
the stack guarantees to call them for every change, so at least the
final call will not race and commit the correct configuration to the
hardware.

For software devices that want to synchronize promiscous and multicast
state to an underlying device however this can cause corruption of the
underlying device's flags or promisc/allmulti counts.

When the software device is concurrently put in promiscous or allmulti
mode while set_multicast_list is invoked from bottem half context, the
device might synchronize the change to the underlying device without
holding the rtnl_mutex, which races with concurrent changes to the
underlying device.

Add a dev->change_rx_flags hook that is invoked when any of the flags
that affect rx filtering change (under the rtnl_mutex), which allows
drivers to perform synchronization immediately and only synchronize
the address lists in set_multicast_list/set_rx_mode.

Ingo Molnar e6c9116d1d [RFKILL]: fix net/rfkill/rfkill-input.c bug on 64-bit systems
Subject: [patch] net/input: fix net/rfkill/rfkill-input.c bug on 64-bit systems

     [NET]: rfkill: add support for input key to control wireless radio

added this 64-bit bug:

        ....
	unsigned int flags;
 
 	spin_lock_irqsave(&task->lock, flags);
        ....

irq 'flags' must be unsigned long, not unsigned int. The -rt tree has 
strict checks about this on 64-bit so this triggered a build failure.
