      [IPV4]: Fix byte value boundary check in do_ip_getsockopt(). · 951e07c9
      David S. Miller authored
      This fixes kernel bugzilla 10371.
      
      As reported by M.Piechaczek@osmosys.tv, if we try to grab a
      char sized socket option value, as in:
      
        unsigned char ttl = 255;
        socklen_t     len = sizeof(ttl);
        setsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
      
        getsockopt(socket, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL, &ttl, &len);
      
      The ttl returned will be wrong on big-endian, and on both little-
      endian and big-endian the next three bytes in userspace are written
      with garbage.
      
      It's because of this test in do_ip_getsockopt():
      
      	if (len < sizeof(int) && len > 0 && val>=0 && val<255) {
      
      It should allow a 'val' of 255 to pass here, but it doesn't so it
      copies a full 'int' back to userspace.
      
      On little-endian that will write the correct value into the location
      but it spams on the next three bytes in userspace.  On big endian it
      writes the wrong value into the location and spams the next three
      bytes.

      [NET]: Undo code bloat in hot paths due to print_mac(). · 21f644f3
      David S. Miller authored
      If print_mac() is used inside of a pr_debug() the compiler
      can't see that the call is redundant so still performs it
      even of pr_debug() ends up being a nop.
      
      So don't use print_mac() in such cases in hot code paths,
      use MAC_FMT et al. instead.
      
      As noted by Joe Perches, pr_debug() could be modified to
      handle this better, but that is a change to an interface
      used by the entire kernel and thus needs to be validated
      carefully.  This here is thus the less risky fix for
      2.6.25

      [TCP]: Don't allow FRTO to take place while MTU is being probed · 6adb4f73
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal
      packet ordering may be violated allowing FRTO to make a wrong
      decision (it might not be that serious threat for anything
      though). Thus it's safer to not run FRTO while MTU probe is
      underway.
      
      It seems that the basic FRTO variant should also look for an
      skb at probe_seq.start to check if that's retransmitted one
      but I didn't implement it now (plain seqno in window check
      isn't robust against wraparounds).
