b43: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in DMA code
This fixes a possible NULL pointer dereference in an error path of the
DMA allocation error checking code. This is also necessary for a future
DMA API change that is on its way into the mainline kernel that adds
an additional dev parameter to dma_mapping_error().
This patch moves the whole struct b43_dmaring struct initialization
right before any DMA allocation operation.

This change causes several problems, first reported by Ingo Molnar
as a distcc-over-loopback regression where connections were getting
stuck.
Ilpo Järvinen first spotted the locking problems. The new function
added by this code, tcp_defer_accept_check(), only has the
child socket locked, yet it is modifying state of the parent
listening socket.
Fixing that is non-trivial at best, because we can't simply just grab
the parent listening socket lock at this point, because it would
create an ABBA deadlock. The normal ordering is parent listening
socket --> child socket, but this code path would require the
reverse lock ordering.
Next is a problem noticed by Vitaliy Gusev, he noted:
Here socket sk is not attached to listening socket's request queue. tcp_done()
will not call inet_csk_destroy_sock() (and tcp_v4_destroy_sock() which should
release this sk) as socket is not DEAD. Therefore socket sk will be lost for
freeing.
----------------------------------------
Finally, Alexey Kuznetsov argues that there might not even be any
real value or advantage to these new semantics even if we fix all
of the bugs:
----------------------------------------
Hiding from accept() sockets with only out-of-order data only
is the only thing which is impossible with old approach. Is this really
so valuable? My opinion: no, this is nothing but a new loophole
to consume memory without control.
----------------------------------------
So revert this thing for now.

The ipv4 part was fine, but the ipv6 part was not
done correctly. Unlike the ipv4 side, the ipv6 code
already has a .destroy method for rawv6_prot.
So now there were two assignments to this member, and
what the compiler does is use the last one, effectively
making the ipv6 parts of that changeset a NOP.
Fix this by removing the:
.destroy = inet6_destroy_sock,
line, and adding an inet6_destroy_sock() call to the
end of raw6_destroy().

net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock. One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.
The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods. The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.
This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth. And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways. So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.
Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

dccp ccid-3: X truncated due to type conversion

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).
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

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.)

dccp ccid-3: Bug-Fix - Zero RTT is possible
In commit $(825de27d9e40b3117b29a79d412b7a4b78c5d815) (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.

libertas: fix sleep confirmation
This fixes an issus that made "iwconfig eth1 power on" non-working.
When we get a "PS sleep" event, we have to confirm this to the firmware.
The confirm happens with a command, but this command is special: the
firmware won't send us a response. if_cs_host_to_card() is setting
priv->dnld_sent anyway, so this variable stayed at DNLD_DATA_SENT and
was never cleared back.
Now I put the special knowledge that the CMD_802_11_PS_MODE with
CMD_SUBCMD_SLEEP_CONFIRMED doesn't need to need a response by directly
clearing the dnld_sent state in lbs_send_confirmsleep().

ipw2200: queue direct scans
When another scan is in progress, a direct scan gets dropped on the
floor. However, that direct scan is usually the scan that's really
needed by userspace, and gets stomped on by all the broadcast scans the
ipw2200 driver issues internally. Make sure the direct scan happens
eventually, and as a bonus ensure that the passive scan worker is
cleaned up when appropriate.
The change of request_passive_scan form a struct work to struct

still only used with a delay of 0 to match previous behavior.

l2tp: Fix possible oops if transmitting or receiving when tunnel goes down
Some problems have been experienced in the field which cause an oops
in the pppol2tp driver if L2TP tunnels fail while passing data.
The pppol2tp driver uses private data that is referenced via the
sk->sk_user_data of its UDP and PPPoL2TP sockets. This patch makes
sure that the driver uses sock_hold() when it holds a reference to the
sk pointer. This affects its sendmsg(), recvmsg(), getname(),
[gs]etsockopt() and ioctl() handlers.
Tested by ISP where problem was seen. System has been up 10 days with
no oops since running this patch. Without the patch, an oops would
occur every 1-2 days.

tcp: Fix for race due to temporary drop of the socket lock in skb_splice_bits.
skb_splice_bits temporary drops the socket lock while iterating over
the socket queue in order to break a reverse locking condition which
happens with sendfile. This, however, opens a window of opportunity
for tcp_collapse() to aggregate skbs and thus potentially free the
current skb used in skb_splice_bits and tcp_read_sock.
This patch fixes the problem by (re-)getting the same "logical skb"
after the lock has been temporary dropped.

tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync condition
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
in cache in the first place.
3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.
It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.
Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).
This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.
This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing &
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.
