When re-naming an interface, the previous secondary address
labels get lost e.g.
$> brctl addbr foo
$> ip addr add 192.168.0.1 dev foo
$> ip addr add 192.168.0.2 dev foo label foo:00
$> ip addr show dev foo | grep inet
inet 192.168.0.1/32 scope global foo
inet 192.168.0.2/32 scope global foo:00
$> ip link set foo name bar
$> ip addr show dev bar | grep inet
inet 192.168.0.1/32 scope global bar
inet 192.168.0.2/32 scope global bar:2
Turns out to be a simple thinko in inetdev_changename() - clearly we
want to look at the address label, rather than the device name, for
a suffix to retain.

This patch fixes a memory leak when a PPPoE socket is release()d after
it has been connect()ed, but before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl ever has been
called on it.
This is somewhat of a security problem, too, since PPPoE sockets can be
created by any user, so any user can easily allocate all the machine's
RAM to non-swappable address space and thus DoS the system.
Is there any specific reason for PPPoE sockets being available to any
unprivileged process, BTW? After all, you need a packet socket for the
discovery stage anyway, so it's unlikely that any unprivileged process
will ever need to create a PPPoE socket, no? Allocating all session IDs
for a known AC is a kind of DoS, too, after all - with Juniper ERXes,
this is really easy, actually, since they don't ever assign session ids

[PKT_SCHED] CLS_U32: Fix endianness problem with u32 classifier hash masks.
While trying to implement u32 hashes in my shaping machine I ran into
a possible bug in the u32 hash/bucket computing algorithm
(net/sched/cls_u32.c).
The problem occurs only with hash masks that extend over the octet
boundary, on little endian machines (where htonl() actually does
something).
Let's say that I would like to use 0x3fc0 as the hash mask. This means
8 contiguous "1" bits starting at b6. With such a mask, the expected
(and logical) behavior is to hash any address in, for instance,
192.168.0.0/26 in bucket 0, then any address in 192.168.0.64/26 in
bucket 1, then 192.168.0.128/26 in bucket 2 and so on.
This is exactly what would happen on a big endian machine, but on
little endian machines, what would actually happen with current
implementation is 0x3fc0 being reversed (into 0xc03f0000) by htonl()
in the userspace tool and then applied to 192.168.x.x in the u32
classifier. When shifting right by 16 bits (rank of first "1" bit in
the reversed mask) and applying the divisor mask (0xff for divisor
256), what would actually remain is 0x3f applied on the "168" octet of
the address.
One could say is this can be easily worked around by taking endianness
into account in userspace and supplying an appropriate mask (0xfc03)
that would be turned into contiguous "1" bits when reversed
(0x03fc0000). But the actual problem is the network address (inside
the packet) not being converted to host order, but used as a
host-order value when computing the bucket.
Let's say the network address is written as n31 n30 ... n0, with n0
being the least significant bit. When used directly (without any
conversion) on a little endian machine, it becomes n7 ... n0 n8 ..n15
etc in the machine's registers. Thus bits n7 and n8 would no longer be
adjacent and 192.168.64.0/26 and 192.168.128.0/26 would no longer be
consecutive.
The fix is to apply ntohl() on the hmask before computing fshift,
and in u32_hash_fold() convert the packet data to host order before
shifting down by fshift.
With helpful feedback from Jamal Hadi Salim and Jarek Poplawski.

[SPARC64]: Fix bugs in SYSV IPC handling in 64-bit processes.
Thanks to Tom Callaway for the excellent bug report and
test case.
sys_ipc() has several problems, most to due with semaphore
call handling:
1) 'err' return should be a 'long'
2) "union semun" is passed in a register on 64-bit compared
to 32-bit which provides it on the stack and therefore
by reference
3) Second and third arguments to SEMCTL are swapped compared
to 32-bit.

[NET]: Zero length write() on socket should not simply return 0.
This fixes kernel bugzilla #5731
It should generate an empty packet for datagram protocols when the
socket is connected, for one.
The check is doubly-wrong because all that a write() can be is a
sendmsg() call with a NULL msg_control and a single entry iovec. No
special semantics should be assigned to it, therefore the zero length
check should be removed entirely.
This matches the behavior of BSD and several other systems.
Alan Cox notes that SuSv3 says the behavior of a zero length write on
non-files is "unspecified", but that's kind of useless since BSD has
defined this behavior for a quarter century and BSD is essentially
what application folks code to.
Based upon a patch from Stephen Hemminger.

[PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue average
Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second
us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue
length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue
lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected
branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on
Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is
large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always
results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result
in zero shift).

sysfs: store sysfs inode nrs in s_ino to avoid readdir oopses (CVE-2007-3104)
Backport of
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch
For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse
sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number.
But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is
no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of
allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a
sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there
for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed.
Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings
along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead
incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because
sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't
guaranteed today anyway.

[POWERPC] Flush registers to proper task context
When we flush register state for FP, Altivec, or SPE in flush_*_to_thread
we need to respect the task_struct that the caller has passed to us.
Most cases we are called with current, however sometimes (ptrace) we may
be passed a different task_struct.
This showed up when using gdbserver debugging a simple program that used
floating point. When gdb tried to show the FP regs they all showed up as 0,
because the child's FP registers were never properly flushed to memory.

[IPSEC] AH4: Update IPv4 options handling to conform to RFC 4302.
In testing our ESP/AH offload hardware, I discovered an issue with how
AH handles mutable fields in IPv4. RFC 4302 (AH) states the following
on the subject:
For IPv4, the entire option is viewed as a unit; so even
though the type and length fields within most options are immutable
in transit, if an option is classified as mutable, the entire option
is zeroed for ICV computation purposes.
The current implementation does not zero the type and length fields,
resulting in authentication failures when communicating with hosts
that do (i.e. FreeBSD).
I have tested record route and timestamp options (ping -R and ping -T)
on a small network involving Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2, and Linux hosts,
with one router. In the presence of these options, the FreeBSD and
Linux hosts (with the patch or with the hardware) can communicate.
The Windows XP host simply fails to accept these packets with or
without the patch.
I have also been trying to test source routing options (using
traceroute -g), but haven't had much luck getting this option to work
*without* AH, let alone with.

TCP: Fix TCP handling of SACK in bidirectional flows
It's possible that new SACK blocks that should trigger new LOST
markings arrive with new data (which previously made is_dupack
false). In addition, I think this fixes a case where we get
a cumulative ACK with enough SACK blocks to trigger the fast
recovery (is_dupack would be false there too).
I'm not completely pleased with this solution because readability
of the code is somewhat questionable as 'is_dupack' in SACK case
is no longer about dupacks only but would mean something like
'lost_marker_work_todo' too... But because of Eifel stuff done
in CA_Recovery, the FLAG_DATA_SACKED check cannot be placed to
the if statement which seems attractive solution. Nevertheless,
I didn't like adding another variable just for that either... :-)

As pointed out by Suresh Mahalingam, the issue addressed by

The size of allocated output buffer is correct, however it size passed to
ppp->rcomp->decompress in ppp_generic.c if wrong. The patch fixes that.
