1673d0de40 SUNRPC: Allow callers to pass rpcb_v4_register a NULL address
The user space TI-RPC library uses an empty string for the universal
address when unregistering all target addresses for [program, version].
The kernel's rpcb client should behave the same way.

Here, we are switching between several registration methods based on
the protocol family of the incoming address.  Rename the other rpcbind
v4 registration functions to make it clear that they, as well, are
switched on protocol family.  In /etc/netconfig, this is either "inet"
or "inet6".

NB: The loopback protocol families are not supported in the kernel.

126e4bc3b3 SUNRPC: rpcbind actually interprets r_owner string
RFC 1833 has little to say about the contents of r_owner; it only
specifies that it is a string, and states that it is used to control
who can UNSET an entry.

Our port of rpcbind (from Sun) assumes this string contains a numeric
UID value, not alphabetical or symbolic characters, but checks this
value only for AF_LOCAL RPCB_SET or RPCB_UNSET requests.  In all other
cases, rpcbind ignores the contents of the r_owner string.

The reference user space implementation of rpcb_set(3) uses a numeric
UID for all SET/UNSET requests (even via the network) and an empty
string for all other requests.  We emulate that behavior here to
maintain bug-for-bug compatibility.

ba5c35e0c7 SUNRPC: Don't return EPROTONOSUPPORT in svc_register()'s helpers
The RPC client returns -EPROTONOSUPPORT if there is a protocol version
mismatch (ie the remote RPC server doesn't support the RPC protocol
version sent by the client).

Helpers for the svc_register() function return -EPROTONOSUPPORT if they
don't recognize the passed-in IPPROTO_ value.

These are two entirely different failure modes.

Have the helpers return -ENOPROTOOPT instead of -EPROTONOSUPPORT.  This
will allow callers to determine more precisely what the underlying
problem is, and decide to report or recover appropriately.

fc28decdc9 SUNRPC: Use IPv4 loopback for registering AF_INET6 kernel RPC services
The kernel uses an IPv6 loopback address when registering its AF_INET6
RPC services so that it can tell whether the local portmapper is
actually IPv6-enabled.

Since the legacy portmapper doesn't listen on IPv6, however, this
causes a long timeout on older systems if the kernel happens to try
creating and registering an AF_INET6 RPC service.  Originally I wanted
to use a connected transport (either TCP or connected UDP) so that the
upcall would fail immediately if the portmapper wasn't listening on
IPv6, but we never agreed on what transport to use.

In the end, it's of little consequence to the kernel whether the local
portmapper is listening on IPv6.  It's only important whether the
portmapper supports rpcbind v4.  And the kernel can't tell that at all
if it is sending requests via IPv6 -- the portmapper will just ignore
them.

So, send both rpcbind v2 and v4 SET/UNSET requests via IPv4 loopback
to maintain better backwards compatibility between new kernels and
legacy user space, and prevent multi-second hangs in some cases when
the kernel attempts to register RPC services.

7d21c0f984 SUNRPC: Set IPV6ONLY flag on PF_INET6 RPC listener sockets
We are about to convert to using separate RPC listener sockets for
PF_INET and PF_INET6.  This echoes the way IPv6 is handled in user
space by TI-RPC, and eliminates the need for ULPs to worry about
mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 addresses when doing address comparisons.

Start by setting the IPV6ONLY flag on PF_INET6 RPC listener sockets.

4b62e58ccc SUNRPC: Pass a family argument to svc_register()
The sv_family field is going away.  Instead of using sv_family, have
the svc_register() function take a protocol family argument.

Since this argument represents a protocol family, and not an address
family, this argument takes an int, as this is what is passed to
sock_create_kern().  Also make sure svc_register's helpers are
checking for PF_FOO instead of AF_FOO.  The value of [AP]F_FOO are
equivalent; this is simply a symbolic change to reflect the semantics
of the value stored in that variable.

sock_create_kern() should return EPFNOSUPPORT if the passed-in
protocol family isn't supported, but it uses EAFNOSUPPORT for this
case.  We will stick with that tradition here, as svc_register()
is called by the RPC server in the same path as sock_create_kern().

776bd5c7a2 SUNRPC: Don't flag empty RPCB_GETADDR reply as bogus
In 2007, commit e65fe3976f added
additional sanity checking to rpcb_decode_getaddr() to make sure we
were getting a reply that was long enough to be an actual universal
address.  If the uaddr string isn't long enough, the XDR decoder
returns EIO.

However, an empty string is a valid RPCB_GETADDR response if the
requested service isn't registered.  Moreover, "::.n.m" is also a
valid RPCB_GETADDR response for IPv6 addresses that is shorter
than rpcb_decode_getaddr()'s lower limit of 11.  So this sanity
check introduced a regression for rpcbind requests against IPv6
remotes.

So revert the lower bound check added by commit
e65fe3976f, and add an explicit check
for an empty uaddr string, similar to libtirpc's rpcb_getaddr(3).

7d1e8255cf SUNRPC: Add the equivalent of the linger and linger2 timeouts to RPC sockets
This fixes a regression against FreeBSD servers as reported by Tomas
Kasparek. Apparently when using RPC over a TCP socket, the FreeBSD servers
don't ever react to the client closing the socket, and so commit
e06799f958 (SUNRPC: Use shutdown() instead of
close() when disconnecting a TCP socket) causes the setup to hang forever
whenever the client attempts to close and then reconnect.

We break the deadlock by adding a 'linger2' style timeout to the socket,
after which, the client will abort the connection using a TCP 'RST'.

The default timeout is set to 15 seconds. A subsequent patch will put it
under user control by means of a systctl.

fe315e76fc SUNRPC: Avoid spurious wake-up during UDP connect processing
To clear out old state, the UDP connect workers unconditionally invoke
xs_close() before proceeding with a new connect.  Nowadays this causes
a spurious wake-up of the task waiting for the connect to complete.

This is a little racey, but usually harmless.  The waiting task
immediately retries the connect via a call_bind/call_connect sequence,
which usually finds the transport already in the connected state
because the connect worker has finished in the background.

To avoid a spurious wake-up, factor the xs_close() logic that resets
the underlying socket into a helper, and have the UDP connect workers
call that helper instead of xs_close().

Another choice to fix this is to change callers to pass a positive

to me. Indeed, the callers of netlink_set_err() assumed that the
(usual) negative value for error codes was fine before this patch :).

this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing

It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys.  Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.

Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

176c39af29 netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier. 
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of 
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.

But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.

I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

3df2678737 sctp: fix kernel panic with ERROR chunk containing too many error causes
If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED
state, the kernel get panic.

This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while
ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by
sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds
and panic.

This patch fixed the problem.

This bug can be test by SCTP Conformance Test Suite

9ec06ff57a tcp: fix retrans_out leaks
There's conflicting assumptions in shifting, the caller assumes
that dupsack results in S'ed skbs (or a part of it) for sure but
never gave a hint to tcp_sacktag_one when dsack is actually in
use. Thus DSACK retrans_out -= pcount was not taken and the
counter became out of sync. Remove obstacle from that information
flow to get DSACKs accounted in tcp_sacktag_one as expected.

4ead443163 netpoll: Add drop checks to all entry points
The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't
receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll.  Unfortunately
it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry
points.  The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't
have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird
problems.

This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points.

I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which
apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code).  The
reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including
headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do
that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler                                             
you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.
