89cee8b1cb [IPV4]: Safer reassembly
Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch
for 2.6.16.

(The original patch is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
and my only contribution is to have tested it.)

This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

df71837d50 [LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.
This patch series implements per packet access control via the
extension of the Linux Security Modules (LSM) interface by hooks in
the XFRM and pfkey subsystems that leverage IPSec security
associations to label packets.  Extensions to the SELinux LSM are
included that leverage the patch for this purpose.

This patch implements the changes necessary to the XFRM subsystem,
pfkey interface, ipv4/ipv6, and xfrm_user interface to restrict a
socket to use only authorized security associations (or no security
association) to send/receive network packets.

Patch purpose:

The patch is designed to enable access control per packets based on
the strongly authenticated IPSec security association.  Such access
controls augment the existing ones based on network interface and IP
address.  The former are very coarse-grained, and the latter can be
spoofed.  By using IPSec, the system can control access to remote
hosts based on cryptographic keys generated using the IPSec mechanism.
This enables access control on a per-machine basis or per-application
if the remote machine is running the same mechanism and trusted to
enforce the access control policy.

Patch design approach:

The overall approach is that policy (xfrm_policy) entries set by
user-level programs (e.g., setkey for ipsec-tools) are extended with a
security context that is used at policy selection time in the XFRM
subsystem to restrict the sockets that can send/receive packets via
security associations (xfrm_states) that are built from those
policies.

A presentation available at
www.selinux-symposium.org/2005/presentations/session2/2-3-jaeger.pdf
from the SELinux symposium describes the overall approach.

Patch implementation details:

On output, the policy retrieved (via xfrm_policy_lookup or
xfrm_sk_policy_lookup) must be authorized for the security context of
the socket and the same security context is required for resultant
security association (retrieved or negotiated via racoon in
ipsec-tools).  This is enforced in xfrm_state_find.

On input, the policy retrieved must also be authorized for the socket
(at __xfrm_policy_check), and the security context of the policy must
also match the security association being used.

The patch has virtually no impact on packets that do not use IPSec.
The existing Netfilter (outgoing) and LSM rcv_skb hooks are used as
before.

Also, if IPSec is used without security contexts, the impact is
minimal.  The LSM must allow such policies to be selected for the
combination of socket and remote machine, but subsequent IPSec
processing proceeds as in the original case.

Testing:

The pfkey interface is tested using the ipsec-tools.  ipsec-tools have
been modified (a separate ipsec-tools patch is available for version
0.5) that supports assignment of xfrm_policy entries and security
associations with security contexts via setkey and the negotiation
using the security contexts via racoon.

The xfrm_user interface is tested via ad hoc programs that set
security contexts.  These programs are also available from me, and
contain programs for setting, getting, and deleting policy for testing
this interface.  Testing of sa functions was done by tracing kernel
behavior.

abe842eb98 [PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h>
In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
<asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the
configurable timer frequency.

However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland
namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros.  This greatly confuses
software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.

After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch

5ab4a6c81e [IPV6] mcast: Fix multiple issues in MLDv2 reports.
The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.

1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
        all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]

2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]

3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
        a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
        b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
                not excluded
        c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report

NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
  source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
  path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
  as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, 
  relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
  machine.

4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
        The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
        list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
        short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
        with an empty list if needed.

5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
        its original value

These issues (other than item #1 ;-) ) were all found by Yan Zheng,
much thanks!

d6f029130f [PATCH] fix race with preempt_enable()
Currently a simple

	void foo(void) { preempt_enable(); }

produces the following code on ARM:

foo:
	bic	r3, sp, #8128
	bic	r3, r3, #63
	ldr	r2, [r3, #4]
	ldr	r1, [r3, #0]
	sub	r2, r2, #1
	tst	r1, #4
	str	r2, [r3, #4]
	blne	preempt_schedule
	mov	pc, lr

The problem is that the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is loaded _before_ the
preemption count is stored back, hence any interrupt coming within that
3 instruction window causing TIF_NEED_RESCHED to be set won't be
seen and scheduling won't happen as it should.

Nothing currently prevents gcc from performing that reordering.  There
is already a barrier() before the decrement of the preemption count, but
another one is needed between this and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag test
for proper code ordering.

23f9b317e0 [PATCH] include/linux/irq.h: #include <linux/smp.h>
Jan's crosscompile page [1] shows, that one regression in 2.6.15-rc is
that the v850 defconfig does no longer compile.

The compile error is:

<--  snip  -->

...
  CC      arch/v850/kernel/setup.o
In file included from /usr/src/ctest/rc/kernel/arch/v850/kernel/setup.c:17:

make[2]: *** [arch/v850/kernel/setup.o] Error 1

<--  snip  -->

The #include <asm/smp.h> in irq.h was intruduced in 2.6.15-rc.

Since include/linux/irq.h needs code from asm/smp.h only in the
CONFIG_SMP=y case and linux/smp.h #include's asm/smp.h only in the
CONFIG_SMP=y case, I'm suggesting this patch to #include <linux/smp.h>
in irq.h.

I've tested the compilation with both CONFIG_SMP=y and CONFIG_SMP=n
on i386.

fd30fc3256 [PATCH] relayfs: remove warning printk() in relay_switch_subbuf()
There's currently a diagnostic printk in relay_switch_subbuf() meant as
a warning if you accidentally try to log an event larger than the
sub-buffer size.

The problem is if this happens while logging from somewhere it's not
safe to be doing printks, such as in the scheduler, you can end up with
a deadlock.  This patch removes the warning from relay_switch_subbuf()
and instead prints some diagnostic info when the channel is closed.

42e33148df [SCSI] fix for fc transport recursion problem.
In the scenario that a link was broken, the devloss timer for each
rport was expire at roughly the same time, causing lots of "delete"
workqueue items being queued. Depth is dependent upon the number of
rports that were on the link.

The rport target remove calls were calling flush_scheduled_work(),
which would interrupt the stream, and start the next workqueue item,
which did the same thing, and so on until recursion depth was large.

This fix stops the recursion in the initial delete path, and pushes it
off to a host-level work item that reaps the dead rports.

This has the side effect that current code in mca.c may not call
ia64_sal_clear_state_info() upon receiving corrected platform errors
if there are bits set in the validation byte.  Reported by Xavier Bru.

50630195bb [libata] mark certain hardware (or drivers) with a no-atapi flag
Some hardware does not support the PACKET command at all.
Other hardware supports ATAPI, but the driver does something nasty such
as calling BUG() when an ATAPI command is issued.

For these such cases, we mark them with a new flag, ATA_FLAG_NO_ATAPI.

be0d9b6c7a [PATCH] fbdev: Fix incorrect unaligned access in little-endian machines
The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not
unsigned-long aligned.  It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not
complete drawn.  Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would
presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines.  The
function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug.

Aligned access should present no problems.

39942fd8ff [PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.

Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed.  This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm.  At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.

There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.

This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.

The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.

As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.
