commit 8728c544a9cbdc ("net: dev_pick_tx() fix") and commit
b6fe83e9525a ("bonding: refine IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE capability")
are quite incompatible : Queue selection is disabled because skb
dst was dropped before entering bonding device.
This causes major performance regression, mainly because TCP packets
for a given flow can be sent to multiple queues.
This is particularly visible when using the new FQ packet scheduler
with MQ + FQ setup on the slaves.
We can safely revert the first commit now that 416186fbf8c5b
("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx into __netdev_pick_tx")
properly caps the queue_index.

This reverts commit 1f324e38870cc09659cf23bc626f1b8869e201f2.
It seems to cause regressions, and in particular the output path
really depends upon there being a socket attached to skb->sk for
checks such as sk_mc_loop(skb->sk) for example. See ip6_output_finish2().

Since commit 3d7b46cd20e3 (ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to
ip_tunnel module.), an Oops is triggered when an xfrm policy is configured on
an IPv4 over IPv4 tunnel.
xfrm4_policy_check() calls __xfrm_policy_check2(), which uses skb_dst(skb). But
this field is NULL because iptunnel_pull_header() calls skb_dst_drop(skb).

Should a connect fail, if the publication/server is unavailable or
due to some other error, a positive value will be returned and errno
is never set. If the application code checks for an explicit zero
return from connect (success) or a negative return (failure), it
will not catch the error and subsequent send() calls will fail as
shown from the strace snippet below.
socket(0x1e /* PF_??? */, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=0x1e /* AF_??? */, sa_data="\2\1\322\4\0\0\322\4\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16) = 111
sendto(3, "test", 4, 0, NULL, 0) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)
The reason for this behaviour is that TIPC wrongly inverts error
codes set in sk_err.

In commit 90ba9b19 (tcp: tcp_make_synack() can use alloc_skb()), Eric changed
the call to sock_wmalloc in tcp_make_synack to alloc_skb. In doing so,
the netfilter owner match lost its ability to block the SYNACK packet on
outbound listening sockets. Revert the change, restoring the owner match
functionality.
This closes netfilter bugzilla #847.

Currently we would still potentially suffer multicast packet loss if there
is just either an IGMP or an MLD querier: For the former case, we would
possibly drop IPv6 multicast packets, for the latter IPv4 ones. This is
because we are currently assuming that if either an IGMP or MLD querier
is present that the other one is present, too.
This patch makes the behaviour and fix added in
"bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier" (b00589af3b04)
to also work if there is either just an IGMP or an MLD querier on the
link: It refines the deactivation of the snooping to be protocol
specific by using separate timers for the snooped IGMP and MLD queries
as well as separate timers for our internal IGMP and MLD queriers.

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"During the percpu reference counting update which was merged during
v3.11-rc1, the cgroup destruction path was updated so that a cgroup in
the process of dying may linger on the children list, which was
necessary as the cgroup should still be included in child/descendant
iteration while percpu ref is being killed.
Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly
and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to
lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g.
"rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail.
This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to
verify that there's no live child left. While this is very late in
the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe
the fix is relatively safe.
Thanks Hugh for spotting and providing fix for the issue"

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"This contains one fix which could lead to system-wide lockup on
!PREEMPT kernels. It's very late in the cycle but this definitely is
a -stable material.
The problem is that workqueue worker tasks may process unlimited
number of work items back-to-back without every yielding inbetween.
This usually isn't noticeable but a work item which re-queues itself
waiting for someone else to do something can deadlock with
stop_machine. stop_machine will ensure nothing else happens on all
other cpus and the requeueing work item will reqeueue itself
indefinitely without ever yielding and thus preventing the CPU from
entering stop_machine.
Kudos to Jamie Liu for spotting and diagnosing the problem. This can
be trivially fixed by adding cond_resched() after processing each work
item"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec
Steffen Klassert says:
====================
This pull request fixes some issues that arise when 6in4 or 4in6 tunnels
are used in combination with IPsec, all from Hannes Frederic Sowa and a
null pointer dereference when queueing packets to the policy hold queue.
1) We might access the local error handler of the wrong address family if
6in4 or 4in6 tunnel is protected by ipsec. Fix this by addind a pointer
to the correct local_error to xfrm_state_afinet.
2) Add a helper function to always refer to the correct interpretation
of skb->sk.
3) Call skb_reset_inner_headers to record the position of the inner headers
when adding a new one in various ipv6 tunnels. This is needed to identify
the addresses where to send back errors in the xfrm layer.
4) Dereference inner ipv6 header if encapsulated to always call the
right error handler.
5) Choose protocol family by skb protocol to not call the wrong
xfrm{4,6}_local_error handler in case an ipv6 sockets is used
in ipv4 mode.
6) Partly revert "xfrm: introduce helper for safe determination of mtu"
because this introduced pmtu discovery problems.
7) Set skb->protocol on tcp, raw and ip6_append_data genereated skbs.
We need this to get the correct mtu informations in xfrm.
8) Fix null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output.

Allocating skbs when sending out neighbour discovery messages
currently uses sock_alloc_send_skb() based on a per net namespace
socket and thus share a socket wmem buffer space.
If a netdevice is temporarily unable to transmit due to carrier
loss or for other reasons, the queued up ndisc messages will cosnume
all of the wmem space and will thus prevent from any more skbs to
be allocated even for netdevices that are able to transmit packets.
The number of neighbour discovery messages sent is very limited,
simply use alloc_skb() and don't depend on any socket wmem space any
longer.
This patch has orginally been posted by Eric Dumazet in a modified
form.

ipv4: raw_sendmsg: don't use header's destination address
A sendto() regression was bisected and found to start with commit
f8126f1d5136be1 (ipv4: Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway.)
The problem is that it tries to ARP-lookup the constructed packet's
destination address rather than the explicitly provided address.
Fix this using FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH so that given nexthop is used.

The zero value means that tsecr is not valid, so it's a special case.
tsoffset is used to customize tcp_time_stamp for one socket.
tsoffset is usually zero, it's used when a socket was moved from one
host to another host.
Currently this issue affects logic of tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts. Due to
incorrect value of rcv_tsecr, tcp_rcv_rtt_measure_ts sets rto to
TCP_RTO_MAX.

u32 rcv_tstamp; /* timestamp of last received ACK */
Its value used in tcp_retransmit_timer, which closes socket
if the last ack was received more then TCP_RTO_MAX ago.
Currently rcv_tstamp is initialized to zero and if tcp_retransmit_timer
is called before receiving a first ack, the connection is closed.
This patch initializes rcv_tstamp to a timestamp, when a socket was
restored.

the series of patches for irqdomain core in 3.11 has broken sirf
irq which uses legacy mapping. all users fail in the new kernel
while setupping irq.
this patch moves to linear irqdomain and drop old legacy irqdomain
codes since we don't need it any more, and at the same time, it
also fixes the broken interrupts of sirfsoc in 3.11.
on the other hand, we actually only have 64 interrupt sources for
prima2 and atlas6, but there are 128 interrupt souces for marco
which uses GIC. in the legacy codes, sirf gpio also uses legacy
irqdomain, so to make gpio interrupt mapping not depend on the
prima2/atlas6/marco an use unified marco,we enlarge prima2/atlas6
interrupt number to 128. here we don't need this workaround any
more as sirf gpio also moved to linear mode before. so we move
SIRFSOC_NUM_IRQS back to 64 too.

On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should
have been removed. Here's a trivial reproducer:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent
rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy
It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves
cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of
destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not
yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list.
Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one
of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed:
those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir.
(I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the
unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.)
tj: Flattened nested ifs a bit and updated comment so that it's
correct on both for-3.11-fixes and for-3.12.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

If the system had a few memory groups and all of them were destroyed,
memcg_limited_groups_array_size has non-zero value, but all new caches
are created without memcg_params, because memcg_kmem_enabled() returns
false.
We try to enumirate child caches in a few places and all of them are
potentially dangerous.
For example my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SLAB and it crashed when I
tryed to mount a NFS share after a few experiments with kmemcg.

"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.
The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes
if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))
to blow up. Why is it passing in a bad pfn?
The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times. sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block. Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.

According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of
the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp
shall be received."
Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages
with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned.
Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the
lowest type, we need to actually return that message.
This regression was introduced by commit daaf74cf0867 ("ipc: refactor
msg list search into separate function")

Correct an issue with /proc/timer_list reported by Holger.
When reading from the proc file with a sufficiently small buffer, 2k so
not really that small, there was one could get hung trying to read the
file a chunk at a time.
The timer_list_start function failed to account for the possibility that
the offset was adjusted outside the timer_list_next.

This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.
There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic. The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.
This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.
[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
goes to me.
Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
changes. - Linus ]

This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of
lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached
spinlock.
NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless
version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard
spinlocks. The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but
I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new
interfaces.
[ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal
version of the original patch by Waiman. In order to properly credit
the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the
end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman. So
blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can
introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually
opens. - Linus ]

This patch adds another entry (HP hs2434 Mobile Broadband) to the list
of exceptional devices that require a zero length packet in order to
function properly. This list was added in commit 844e88f0. The hs2434
is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, who also produces the MC7710,
which the ZLP exception list was created for in the first place. So
hopefully it is just this one producer's devices that will need this
workaround.
Tested on a DM1-4310NR HP notebook, which does not function without this
change.

netlink dump operations take module as parameter to hold
reference for entire netlink dump duration.
Currently it holds ref only on genl module which is not correct
when we use ops registered to genl from another module.
Following patch adds module pointer to genl_ops so that netlink
can hold ref count on it.

In case of genl-family with parallel ops off, dumpif() callback
is expected to run under genl_lock, But commit def3117493eafd9df
(genl: Allow concurrent genl callbacks.) changed this behaviour
where only first dumpit() op was called under genl-lock.
For subsequent dump, only nlk->cb_lock was taken.
Following patch fixes it by defining locked dumpit() and done()
callback which takes care of genl-locking.

Some architectures, such as ARM-32 do not return the same base address
when you call kmap_atomic() twice on the same page.
This causes problems for the memmove() call in the XDR helper routine
"_shift_data_right_pages()", since it defeats the detection of
overlapping memory ranges, and has been seen to corrupt memory.
The fix is to distinguish between the case where we're doing an
inter-page copy or not. In the former case of we know that the memory
ranges cannot possibly overlap, so we can additionally micro-optimise
by replacing memmove() with memcpy().

This reverts commit bb2314b47996491bbc5add73633905c3120b6268.
It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.
It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
isn't new. But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.
We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11
and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

The net_device might be not set on the skb when we try refcounting.
This leads to a null pointer dereference in xdst_queue_output().
It turned out that the refcount to the net_device is not needed
after all. The dst_entry has a refcount to the net_device before
we queue the skb, so it can't go away. Therefore we can remove the
refcount on queueing to fix the null pointer dereference.

The recent commit to delay the release of kobject triggered NULL
dereferences of opti9xx drivers. The cause is that all
snd-opti92x-ad1848, snd-opti92x-cs4231 and snd-opti93x drivers
register the PnP card driver with the very same name, and also
snd-opti92x-ad1848 and -cs4231 drivers register the ISA driver with
the same name, too. When these drivers are built in, quick
"register-release-and-re-register" actions occur, and this results in
Oops because of the same name is assigned to the kobject.
The fix is simply to assign individual names. As a bonus, by using
KBUILD_MODNAME, the patch reduces more lines than it adds.
The fix is based on the suggestion by Russell King.

If driver will fail to allocate all queues, it will shrink the number of
queues and move the storage queue to its correct place (i.e., the last
queue among the newly supported number).
When changing the pointers of the new location of the FCoE queue, we need
to pay special attention to the aggregations pointer - that memory is allocated
during probe and released upon driver removal. Current implementation has 2
pointers pointing to the same chunk of allocated memory, meaning upon removal
there will be two kfree() of the same chunk while the other won't be released.

====================
This is one more set of fixes intended for the 3.11 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"I have three more patches for the 3.11 stream: Felix's fix for the
fairly visible brcmsmac crash, a fix from Simon for an IBSS join bug I
found and a fix for a channel context bug in IBSS I'd introduced."
Along with those...
Sujith Manoharan makes a minor change to not use a PLL hang workaroun
for AR9550. This one-liner fixes a couple of bugs reported in the Red Hat
bugzilla.
Helmut Schaa addresses an ath9k_htc bug that mangles frame headers
during Tx. This fix is small, tested by the bug reported and isolated
to ath9k_htc.
Stanislaw Gruszka reverts a recent iwl4965 change that broke rfkill
