In short, nlmsg_next() can make "remaining" go negative, and the
remaining >= sizeof(...) comparison will promote "remaining" to an
unsigned type, which means that the expression will evaluate to
true for negative numbers, even though it was not intended.
I put "theoretical" in the title because I have no evidence that
this can actually happen, but I suspect that a crafted netlink

tcp: Always set urgent pointer if it's beyond snd_nxt
Our TCP stack does not set the urgent flag if the urgent pointer
does not fit in 16 bits, i.e., if it is more than 64K from the
sequence number of a packet.
This behaviour is different from the BSDs, and clearly contradicts
the purpose of urgent mode, which is to send the notification
(though not necessarily the associated data) as soon as possible.
Our current behaviour may in fact delay the urgent notification
indefinitely if the receiver window does not open up.
Simply matching BSD however may break legacy applications which
incorrectly rely on the out-of-band delivery of urgent data, and
conversely the in-band delivery of non-urgent data.
Alexey Kuznetsov suggested a safe solution of following BSD only
if the urgent pointer itself has not yet been transmitted. This
way we guarantee that when the remote end sees the packet with
non-urgent data marked as urgent due to wrap-around we would have
advanced the urgent pointer beyond, either to the actual urgent
data or to an as-yet untransmitted packet.
The only potential downside is that applications on the remote
end may see multiple SIGURG notifications. However, this would
occur anyway with other TCP stacks. More importantly, the outcome
of such a duplicate notification is likely to be harmless since
the signal itself does not carry any information other than the
fact that we're in urgent mode.

mac80211: implement dynamic power save
This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
require the host to do it.
The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:
iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m
Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.
In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature
with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.

iwlwifi: indicate txpower is off in sysfs
The patch checks if the radio is disabled before displaying the tx power
level. Previously when the txpower was set off show_tx_power still
returned the prior power level. Now it will indicate the power has been
turned off.

iwlwifi: use GFP_KERNEL to allocate Rx SKB memory
Previously we allocate Rx SKB with GFP_ATOMIC flag. This is because we need
to hold a spinlock to protect the two rx_used and rx_free lists operation
in the rxq.
After spliting the rx_used delete and rx_free insert into two operations,
we don't require the skb allocation in an atomic context any more (the
function itself is scheduled in a workqueue).
This patch should fix the "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" warning
we see recently.

ath9k: Remove MAC header pad before reporting TX status
Remove the possible MAC header pad before reporting TX status to
mac80211. This pad is hardware specific operation and should not be
exposed outside the driver. This fixes the frame body in monitor
interfaces that could be used to check on TX status for transmitted
frames.

The count field in struct ieee80211_tx_rate does not include the final

Fix the struct ieee80211_tx_rate::idx field when MCS was used. It is
supposed to be the MCS index, not an internal index to the rate

mac80211: Remove radiotap rate-present flag for HT
Since we do not currently report HT rates (MCS index) in radiotap
header for HT rates, we should not claim the rate is present. The rate
octet itself is used as padding in this case, so only the it_present
flag needs to be removed in case of HT rates.

rtl8187: Fix crash on unload when using SLUB debug
Reported-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net>
After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:
(1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that
apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive
skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.

This patch simplifies the tx code a bit and will be necessary for
the upcoming stlc45xx<->p54 port.
In detail: we no longer have to tell all back-end drivers directly,
if we want to free a frame right after it was send to the firmware,
or if we do it in the library callback later.
