rtlwifi: rtl8192se: Fix incorrect signal strength for unassociated AP
The routine that processes received frames was returning the RSSI value for the
signal strength; however, that value is available only for associated APs. As
a result, the strength was the absurd value of 10 dBm. As a result, scans
return incorrect values for the strength, which causes unwanted attempts to roam.

rtlwifi: Fix endian error in extracting packet type
All of the rtlwifi drivers have an error in the routine that tests if
the data is "special". If it is, the subsequant transmission will be
at the lowest rate to enhance reliability. The 16-bit quantity is
big-endian, but was being extracted in native CPU mode. One of the
effects of this bug is to inhibit association under some conditions
as the TX rate is too high.
Based on suggestions by Joe Perches, the entire routine is rewritten.
One of the local headers contained duplicates of some of the ETH_P_XXX
definitions. These are deleted.

netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs
Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example
for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following
example:
<example>
On HOSTA do:
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP
ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT
and on HOSTB you do:
ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500)
Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does
not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen)
</example>
As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use
reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side
effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams
dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed.
Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c

ixgbe: deleting dfwd stations out of order can cause null ptr deref
The number of stations in use is kept in the num_rx_pools counter
in the ixgbe_adapter structure. This is in turn used by the queue
allocation scheme to determine how many queues are needed to support
the number of pools in use with the current feature set.
This works as long as the pools are added and destroyed in order
because (num_rx_pools * queues_per_pool) is equal to the last
queue in use by a pool. But as soon as you delete a pool out of
order this is no longer the case. So the above multiplication
allocates to few queues and a pool may reference a ring that has
not been allocated/initialized.
To resolve use the bit mask of in use pools to determine the final
pool being used and allocate enough queues so that we don't
inadvertently remove its queues.

* SMPS for AP mode
* RF-kill GPIO driver updates to make it usable as an ACPI driver
* regulatory improvements
* documentation fixes
* DFS for IBSS mode
* and a few small other fixes/improvements"
For the TI driver bits, Luca says:
"Some patches intended for 3.13. Eliad continues upstreaming pending
patches from the internal tree."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"There are a few fixes from Johannes mostly clean up patches. We have

For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"A last fix to the 3.12. I ended forgetting to send it before, I hope we can
still make the way to 3.12. It is a revert and it fixes an issue with bluetooth
suspend/hibernate that had many bug reports. Please pull or let me know of any
problems. Thanks!" (Obviously, that one didn't make 3.12...)

This happens because xgmac_change_mtu modifies dev->mtu before the
network interface is quiesced. And thus there still might be buffers
in use which have a buffer size based on the old MTU.
To fix this I moved the change of dev->mtu after the call to
xgmac_stop.
Another modification is required (in xgmac_stop) to ensure that
xgmac_xmit is really not called anymore (xgmac_tx_complete might wake
up the queue again).
I've tested the fix by switching MTU size every second between 600 and
1500 while network traffic was going on. The test box survived a test
of several hours (until I've stopped it) whereas w/o this fix above
panic occurs after several minutes (at most).

l2 hardware accelerated macvlans
This patch adds support to offload macvlan net_devices to the
hardware. With these patches packets are pushed to the macvlan
net_device directly and do not pass through the lower dev.
The patches here have made it through multiple iterations
each with a slightly different focus. First I tried to
push these as a new link type called "VMDQ". The patches
shown here,
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/237617
Following this implementation I renamed the link type
"VSI" and addressed various comments. Finally Neil
Horman picked up the patches and integrated the offload
into the macvlan code. Here,
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285658
The attached series is clean-up of his patches, with a
few fixes.
If folks find this series acceptable there are a few
items we can work on next. First broadcast and multicast
will use the hardware even for local traffic with this
series. It would be best (I think) to use the software
path for macvlan to macvlan traffic and save the PCIe
bus. This depends on how much you value CPU time vs
PCIE bandwidth. This will need another patch series
to flush out.
Also this series only allows for layer 2 mac forwarding
where some hardware supports more interesting forwarding
capabilities. Integrating with OVS may be useful here.
As always any comments/feedback welcome.
My basic I/O test is here but I've also done some link
testing, SRIOV/DCB with macvlans and others,
Changelog:
v2: two fixes to ixgbe when all features DCB, FCoE, SR-IOV
are enabled with macvlans. A VMDQ_P() reference
should have been accel->pool and do not set the offset
of the ring index from dfwd add call. The offset is used
by SR-IOV so clearing it can cause SR-IOV quue index's
to go sideways. With these fixes testing macvlan's with
SRIOV enabled was successful.
v3: addressed Neil's comments in ixgbe
fixed error path on dfwd_add_station() in ixgbe

coexist.

tipc: reassembly failures should cause link reset
If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain
in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission
of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number'
field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure
is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does
not hold true after the previous patch in this series.
A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol
violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it
is either malicious or buggy. Either way, the correct behavior is now
to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number.
So, this is what we do in this commit.

tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain
When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a
reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent
fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is
copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the
reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer.
Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of
reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate
the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent
such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the
situation.
To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of
allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments
to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the
socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because
the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict
uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers.
Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at
any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the
fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

tipc: don't reroute message fragments
When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link,
the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly
buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after
the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment
buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it.
This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster
functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base.
Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal
after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces
a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to

So this patch switches to use XPS and suggest a default mapping when

ipv4: introduce new IP_MTU_DISCOVER mode IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE
Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery,
their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they
will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed
that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag
on the outgoing frames.
Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are
never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the
path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could
well be forged in an attack.
(The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is
no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set
messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their
source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient
information to identify a flow.)
Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to
implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing
fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman:
<https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf>
This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g.
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>,
without leading to fixes.
This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode
regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the
non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should
use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to
suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.
Many thanks to Florian Weimer for the idea and feedback while implementing
this patch.

- fix error return value from huawei_cdc_ncm_suspend()
- drop redundant testing for subdriver->suspend during resume
- broke a few lines to keep within the 80 columns recommendation
- rebased on top of current net-next
Enrico's orginal introduction to the v5 series follows below. It explains
the background much better than I can.
Bjørn
[quote Enrico Mioso]
So this is a new, revised, edition of the huawei_cdc_ncm.c driver, which
supports devices resembling the NCM standard, but using it also as a mean
to encapsulate other protocols, as is the case for the Huawei E3131 and
E3251 modem devices.
Some precisations are needed however - and I encourage discussion on this: and
that's why I'm sending this message with a broader CC.
Merging those patches might change:
- the way Modem Manager interacts with those devices
- some regressions might be possible if there are some unknown firmware
variants around (Franko?)
First of all: I observed the behaviours of two devices.
Huawei E3131: this device doesn't accept NDIS setup requests unless they're
sent via the embedded AT channel exposed by this driver.
So actually we gain funcionality in this case!
The second case, is the Huawei E3251: which works with standard NCM driver,
still exposing an AT embedded channel. Whith this patch set applied, you gain
some funcionality, loosing the ability to catch standard NCM events for now.
The device will work in both ways with no problems, but this has to be
acknowledged and discussed. Might be we can develop this driver further to
change this, when more devices are tested.
We where thinking Huawei changed their interfaces on new devices - but probably
this driver only works around a nice firmware bug present in E3131, which
prevented the modem from being used in NDIS mode.
I think committing this is definitely wortth-while, since it will allow for
more Huawei devices to be used without serial connection. Some devices like the
E3251 also, reports some status information only via the embedded AT channel,
at least in my case.
Note: I'm not subscribed to any list except the Modem Manager's one, so please
CC me, thanks!!

side, at least these have been baking in linux-next for some time!
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"This time I have two fixes for P2P (which requires not using CCK rates)
and a workaround for APs with broken WMM information."
For the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says:
"I have a few fixes for warnings/issues: one from Alex, fixing scan
timings, one from Emmanuel fixing a WARN_ON in the DVM driver, one from
Stanislaw removing a trigger-happy WARN_ON in the MVM driver and a
change from myself to try to recover when the device isn't processing
commands quickly."
And:
"For this round, I have a lot of changes:
* power management improvements
* BT coexistence improvements/updates
* new device support
* VHT support
* IBSS support (though due to a small bug it requires new firmware)
* various other fixes/improvements."
For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"More patches for 3.12, busy times for Bluetooth. More than a 100 commits since
the last pull. The bulk of work comes from Johan and Marcel, they are doing
fixes and improvements all over the Bluetooth subsystem, as the diffstat can
show."
For the ath10k and ath6kl bits, Kalle says:
"Bartosz added support to ath10k for our 10.x AP firmware branch, which
gives us AP specific features and fixes. We still support the main
firmware branch as well just like before, ath10k detects runtime what
firmware is used. Unfortunately the firmware interface in 10.x branch is
somewhat different so there was quite a lot of changes in ath10k for
this.
Michal and Sujith did some performance improvements in ath10k. Vladimir
fixed a compiler warning and Fengguang removed an extra semicolon."
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"It's a fairly big one, with the following highlights:
- NFC digital layer implementation: Most NFC chipsets implement the NFC
digital layer in firmware, but others have more basic functionalities
and expect the host to implement the digital layer. This layer sits
below the NFC core.
- Sony's port100 support: This is "soft" NFC USB dongle that expects the
digital layer to be implemented on the host. This is the first user of
our NFC digital stack implementation.
- Secure element API: We now provide a netlink API for enabling,
disabling and discovering NFC attached (embedded or UICC ones) secure
elements. With some userspace help, this allows us to support NFC
payments.
Only the pn544 driver currently supports that API.
- NCI SPI fixes and improvements: In order to support NCI devices over
SPI, we fixed and improved our NCI/SPI implementation. The currently
most deployed NFC NCI chipset, Broadcom's bcm2079x, supports that mode
and we're planning to use our NCI/SPI framework to implement a
driver for it.
- pn533 fragmentation support in target mode: This was the only missing
feature from our pn533 impementation. We now support fragmentation in
both Tx and Rx modes, in target mode."
On top of all that, brcmfmac and rt2x00 both get the usual flurry
of updates. A few other drivers get hit here or there as well.

tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow start
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.
In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.
