commit bd02cd2549cfcdfc57cb5ce57ffc3feb94f70575 upstream.

Evan Huus found (by fuzzing in wireshark) that the radiotap
iterator code can access beyond the length of the buffer if
the first bitmap claims an extension but then there's no
data at all. Fix this.

It turns out that commit: d3f7d56a7a4671d395e8af87071068a195257bf6 was
applied to the tree twice, which didn't hurt anything, but it's good to
fix this up.

<title>mac80211: don't attempt to reorder multicast frames</title>

commit 051a41fa4ee14f5c39668f0980973b9a195de560 upstream.

Multicast frames can't be transmitted as part of an aggregation
session (such a session couldn't even be set up) so don't try to
reorder them. Trying to do so would cause the reorder to stop
working correctly since multicast QoS frames (as transmitted by
the Aruba APs this was found with) would cause sequence number
confusion in the buffer.

Commit 35f9c09fe (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, similar to
MSG_MORE.

algif_hash, algif_skcipher, and udp used MSG_MORE from tcp_sendpages()
and need to see the new flag as identical to MSG_MORE.

This fixes sendfile() on AF_ALG.

[ Upstream commit 3868204d6b89ea373a273e760609cb08020beb1a ]

commit a553e4a6317b2cfc7659542c10fe43184ffe53da ("[PKTGEN]: IPSEC support")
tried to support IPsec ESP transport transformation for pktgen, but acctually
this doesn't work at all for two reasons(The orignal transformed packet has
bad IPv4 checksum value, as well as wrong auth value, reported by wireshark)

- After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update,
  because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text.

- After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload
  has been changed.

With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to
decrypted ESP packet generated by pktgen without any IPv4 checksum error or
auth value error.

IPv6 stats are 64 bits and thus are protected with a seqlock. By not
disabling bottom-half we could deadlock here if we don't disable bh and
a softirq reentrantly updates the same mib.

another places where IP_INC_STATS_BH() were improperly used.

udp_sendmsg(), ping_v4_sendmsg() and tcp_v4_connect() are called from
process context, not from softirq context.

This was detected by lockdep seqlock support.

[ Upstream commit ec6f809ff6f19fafba3212f6aff0dda71dfac8e8 ]

Currently we're using plain spin_lock() in prb_shutdown_retire_blk_timer(),
however the timer might fire right in the middle and thus try to re-aquire
the same spinlock, leaving us in a endless loop.

To fix that, use the spin_lock_bh() to block it.

[ Upstream commit e40526cb20b5ee53419452e1f03d97092f144418 ]

Salam reported a use after free bug in PF_PACKET that occurs when
we're sending out frames on a socket bound device and suddenly the
net device is being unregistered. It appears that commit 827d9780
introduced a possible race condition between {t,}packet_snd() and
packet_notifier(). In the case of a bound socket, packet_notifier()
can drop the last reference to the net_device and {t,}packet_snd()
might end up suddenly sending a packet over a freed net_device.

To avoid reverting 827d9780 and thus introducing a performance
regression compared to the current state of things, we decided to
hold a cached RCU protected pointer to the net device and maintain
it on write side via bind spin_lock protected register_prot_hook()
and __unregister_prot_hook() calls.

In {t,}packet_snd() path, we access this pointer under rcu_read_lock
through packet_cached_dev_get() that holds reference to the device
to prevent it from being freed through packet_notifier() while
we're in send path. This is okay to do as dev_put()/dev_hold() are
per-cpu counters, so this should not be a performance issue. Also,
the code simplifies a bit as we don't need need_rls_dev anymore.

Fixes: 827d978037d7 ("af-packet: Use existing netdev reference for bound sockets.")
