Currently, __hw_addr_sync_one is called in a loop by __hw_addr_sync_multiple to sync each of a "from" device's hw addresses to a "to" device. __hw_addr_sync_one calls __hw_addr_add_ex to attempt to add each address. __hw_addr_add_ex is called with global=false, and sync=true. __hw_addr_add_ex checks to see if the new address matches an address already on the list. If so, it tests global and sync. In this case, sync=true, and it then checks if the address is already synced, and if so, returns 0. This 0 return causes __hw_addr_sync_one to increment the sync_cnt and refcount for the "from" list's address entry, even though the address is already synced and has a reference and sync_cnt. This will cause the sync_cnt and refcount to increment without bound every time an addresses is added to the "from" device and synced to the "to" device. The fix here has two parts: First, when __hw_addr_add_ex finds the address already exists and is synced, return -EEXIST instead of 0. Second, __hw_addr_sync_one checks the error return for -EEXIST, and if so, it (a) does not add a refcount/sync_cnt, and (b) returns 0 itself so that __hw_addr_sync_multiple will not return an error.

Jay Vosburgh authored
When an address is added to a subordinate interface (the "to" list), the address entry in the "from" list is not marked "synced" as the entry added to the "to" list is. When performing the unsync operation (e.g., dev_mc_unsync), __hw_addr_unsync_one calls __hw_addr_del_entry with the "synced" parameter set to true for the case when the address reference is being released from the "from" list. This causes a test inside to fail, with the result being that the reference count on the "from" address is not properly decremeted and the address on the "from" list will never be freed. Correct this by having __hw_addr_unsync_one call the __hw_addr_del_entry function with the "sync" flag set to false for the "remove from the from list" case.

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.10 stream... Regarding the NFC bits, Samuel says: "This is the first batch of NFC fixes for 3.10, and it contains: - 3 fixes for the NFC MEI support: * We now depend on the correct Kconfig symbol. * We register an MEI event callback whenever we enable an NFC device, otherwise we fail to read anything after an enable/disable cycle. * We only disable an MEI device from its disable mey_phy_ops, preventing useless consecutive disable calls. - An NFC Makefile cleanup, as I forgot to remove a commented out line when moving the LLCP code to the NFC top level directory." As for the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time I have a fix from Stanislaw for a stupid mistake I made in the auth/assoc timeout changes, a fix from Felix for 64-bit traffic counters and one from Helmut for address mask handling in mac80211. I also have a few fixes myself for four different crashes reported by a few people." And Johannes says this about the iwlwifi bit: "This fixes a brown paper-bag bug that we really should've caught in review. More details in the changelog for the fix." On top of that... Arend van Spriel and Hante Meuleman cooperate to send a series of AP and P2P mode fixes for brcmfmac. Gabor Juhos corrects a register offset for AR9550, avoiding a bus error. Dan Carpenter provides a fixup to some dmesg output in the atmel driver. And, finally... Felix Fietkau not only gives us a trio of small AR934x fixes, but also refactors the ath9k aggregation session start/stop handling (using the generic mac80211 support) in order to avoid a deadlock. Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, if an reused connection are directed to the same server. If that server is down, those connection would fail. Therefore, clear the connection and choose a new server among the available ones. * fix possible non-nul terminated string sent to user-space if ipt_ULOG is used as the default netfilter logging stub, from Chen Gang. * fix mark logging of IPv6 packets in xt_LOG, from Michal Kubecek.

We currently allow changing the mq flag (IFF_MULTI_QUEUE) for a persistent device. This will result a mismatch between the number the queues in netdev and tuntap. This is because we only allocate a 1q netdevice when IFF_MULTI_QUEUE was not specified, so when we set the IFF_MULTI_QUEUE and try to attach more queues later, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() may fail which result a single queue netdevice with multiple sockets attached. Solve this by disallowing changing the mq flag for persistent device. Bug was introduced by commit edfb6a14 (tuntap: reduce memory using of queues).

Unlike ipv4_redirect() and ipv4_sk_redirect(), ip_do_redirect() doesn't call __build_flow_key() directly but via ip_rt_build_flow_key() wrapper. This leads to __build_flow_key() getting pointer to IPv4 header of the ICMP redirect packet rather than pointer to the embedded IPv4 header of the packet initiating the redirect. As a result, handling of ICMP redirects initiated by TCP packets is broken. Issue was introduced by 4895c771 ("ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions.")

Since Eric's commit efe117ab ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces") there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.
