Pull networking tree from David Miller: 1) ptp_pch driver build broke during this merge window due to missing slab.h header, fix from Geery Uytterhoeven. 2) If ipset passes in a bogus hash table size we crash because the size is not validated properly. Compounding this, gcc-4.7 can miscompile ipset such that even when the user specifies legitimate parameters the tool passes in an out-of-range size to the kernel. Fix from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 3) Users have reported that the netdev watchdog can trigger with pch_gbe devices, and it turns out this is happening because of races in the TX path of the driver leading to the transmitter hanging. Fix from Eric Dumazet, reported and tested by Andy Cress. 4) Novatel USB551L devices match the generic class entries for the cdc ethernet USB driver, but they don't work because they have generic descriptors and thus need FLAG_WWAN to function properly. Add the necessary ID table entry to fix this, from Dan Williams. 5) A recursive locking fix in the USBNET driver added a new problem, in that packet list traversal is now racy and we can thus access unlinked SKBs and crash. Avoid this situation by adding some extra state tracking, from Ming Lei. 6) The rtlwifi conversion to asynchronous firmware loading is racy, fix by reordering the probe procedure. From Larry Finger. Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43187 7) Fix regressions with bluetooth keyboards by notifying userland properly when the security level changes, from Gustavo Padovan. 8) Bluetooth needs to make sure device connected events are emitted before other kinds of events, otherwise userspace will think there is no baseband link yet and therefore abort the sockets associated with that connection. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ipset: fix hash size checking in kernel ptp_pch: Add missing #include <linux/slab.h> pch_gbe: fix transmit races cdc_ether: add Novatel USB551L device IDs for FLAG_WWAN usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2) Bluetooth: mgmt: Fix device_connected sending order Bluetooth: notify userspace of security level change rtlwifi: fix for race condition when firmware is cached

First, we were at risk of handling thread-info flags, in particular do_signal(), when returning from kernel space. This could happen after a failed kernel_execve(), or when forking a kernel thread. The fix is to test in do_work_pending() for user_mode() and return immediately if so; we already had this test for one of the flags, so I just hoisted it to the top of the function. Second, if a ptraced process updated the callee-saved registers in the ptregs struct and then processed another thread-info flag, we would overwrite the modifications with the original callee-saved registers. To fix this, we add a register to note if we've already saved the registers once, and skip doing it on additional passes through the loop. To avoid a performance hit from the couple of extra instructions involved, I modified the GET_THREAD_INFO() macro to be guaranteed to be one instruction, then bundled it with adjacent instructions, yielding an overall net savings.

When handling the H_BULK_REMOVE hypercall, we were forgetting to invalidate and unlock the hashed page table entry (HPTE) in the case where the page had been paged out. This fixes it by clearing the first doubleword of the HPTE in that case. This fixes a regression introduced in commit a92bce95 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Keep HPTE locked when invalidating"). The effect of the regression is that the host kernel will sometimes hang when under memory pressure. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The code forgot to scramble the VSIDs the way we normally do and was basically using the "proto VSID" directly with the MMU.

When jumping back into the kernel to code that knows that it would be using HSRR registers instead of SRR registers, we need to make sure we pass it all information on where to jump to in HSRR registers. Unfortunately, we used r10 to store the information to distinguish between the HSRR and SRR case. That register got clobbered in between though, rendering the later comparison invalid. Instead, let's use cr1 to store this information. That way we don't need yet another register and everyone's happy. This fixes PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal for me.

When running on a system that is HV capable, some interrupts use HSRR SPRs instead of the normal SRR SPRs. These are also used in the Linux handlers to jump back to code after an interrupt got processed. Unfortunately, in our "jump back to the real host handler after we've done the context switch" code, we were only setting the SRR SPRs, rendering Linux to jump back to some invalid IP after it's processed the interrupt. This fixes random crashes on p7 opal mode with PR KVM for me. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

In addition to normal "priviledged instruction" traps, we can also receive "emulation assist" traps on newer hardware that has the HV bit set. Handle that one the same way as a privileged instruction, including the instruction fetching. That way we don't execute old instructions that we happen to still leave in that field when an emul assist trap comes. This fixes -M mac99 / -M g3beige on p7 bare metal for me.

John Linville says: Here are three more fixes that some of my developers are desperate to see included in 3.4... Johan Hedberg went to some length justifyng the inclusion of these two Bluetooth fixes: "The device_connected fix should be quite self-explanatory, but it's actually a wider issue than just for keyboards. All profiles that do incoming connection authorization (e.g. headsets) will break without it with specific hardware. The reason it wasn't caught earlier is that it only occurs with specific Bluetooth adapters. As for the security level patch, this fixes L2CAP socket based security level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel (hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this" The rtlwifi fix addresses a regression related to firmware loading, as described in kernel.org bug 43187.

Commit 4231d47e(net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may cause skb traversing races: - after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released, the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue, even be released - in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained by next pointer of the last skb - so maybe trigger oops or other problems This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink' state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs. The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch: always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

BIOS on some HP laptops don't set the speaker-pins as fixed but expose as jacks, and this confuses the driver as if these pins are jack-detectable. As a result, the machine doesn't get sounds from speakers because the driver prepares the power-map update via jack unsol events which never come up in reality. The bug was introduced in some time in 3.2 for enabling the power-mapping feature. This patch fixes the problem by replacing the check of the persistent power-map bits with a proper is_jack_detectable() call.

The mgmt_ev_device_connected signal must be sent before any event indications happen for sockets associated with the connection. Otherwise e.g. device authorization for the sockets will fail with ENOTCONN as user space things that there is no baseband link.

It fixes L2CAP socket based security level elevation during a connection. The HID profile needs this (for keyboards) and it is the only way to achieve the security level elevation when using the management interface to talk to the kernel (hence the management enabling patch being the one that exposes this issue). It enables the userspace a security level change when the socket is already connected and create a way to notify the socket the result of the request. At the moment of the request the socket is made non writable, if the request fails the connections closes, otherwise the socket is made writable again, POLL_OUT is emmited.
