Pull NFS client bugfixes from Trond Myklebust:

 - Fix a bunch of deadlock situations:
   * State recovery can deadlock if we fail to release sequence ids
     before scheduling the recovery thread.
   * Calling deactivate_super() from an RPC workqueue thread can
     deadlock because of the call to rpc_shutdown_client.

 - Display the device name correctly in /proc/*/mounts

 - Fix a number of incorrect error return values:
   * When NFSv3 mounts fail due to a timeout.
   * On NFSv4.1 backchannel setup failure
   * On NFSv4 open access checks

 - pnfs_find_alloc_layout() must check the layout pointer for NULL

 - Fix a regression in the legacy DNS resolved

tcp-repair: Handle zero-length data put in rcv queue

2012-11-03T02:01:45+00:00

When sending data into a tcp socket in repair state we should check
for the amount of data being 0 explicitly. Otherwise we'll have an skb
with seq == end_seq in rcv queue, but tcp doesn't expect this to happen
(in particular a warn_on in tcp_recvmsg shoots).

l2tp: fix oops in l2tp_eth_create() error path

2012-11-03T01:56:35+00:00

When creating an L2TPv3 Ethernet session, if register_netdev() should fail for
any reason (for example, automatic naming for "l2tpeth%d" interfaces hits the
32k-interface limit), the netdev is freed in the error path.  However, the
l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in
l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the
session teardown.  This results in an oops.

To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path.

net: fix divide by zero in tcp algorithm illinois

2012-11-01T15:55:59+00:00

Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm
can cause a divide by zero kernel oops.

The division by zero occur in tcp_illinois_info() at:
 do_div(t, ca->cnt_rtt);
where ca->cnt_rtt can become zero (when rtt_reset is called)

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Register tcp_illinois:
     # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=illinois
 2. Monitor internal TCP information via command "ss -i"
     # watch -d ss -i
 3. Establish new TCP conn to machine

Either it fails at the initial conn, or else it needs to wait
for a loss or a reset.

This is only related to reading stats.  The function avg_delay() also
performs the same divide, but is guarded with a (ca->cnt_rtt > 0) at its
calling point in update_params().  Thus, simply fix tcp_illinois_info().

Function tcp_illinois_info() / get_info() is called without
socket lock.  Thus, eliminate any race condition on ca->cnt_rtt
by using a local stack variable.  Simply reuse info.tcpv_rttcnt,
as its already set to ca->cnt_rtt.
Function avg_delay() is not affected by this race condition, as
its called with the socket lock.

SUNRPC: return proper errno from backchannel_rqst

2012-11-01T15:50:53+00:00

The one and only caller (in fs/nfs/nfs4client.c) uses the result
as an errno and would have interpreted an error as EPERM.

John W. Linville says:

====================
This is a batch of fixes intended for 3.7...

The biggest portion of this is a pull request from Johannes Berg:

"Please pull my mac80211.git tree per below to get a number of fixes. I
have included a patch from Antonio to fix a memcpy overrun, Felix's
patches for the antenna gain/tx power issues, a few mesh-related fixes
from Javier for mac80211 and my own patches to not access data that
might not be present in an skb at all as well as a patch (the duplicate
IE check one) to make mac80211 forward-compatible with potential future
spec extensions that use the same IE multiple times.

It's a bit bigger than I'd like maybe, but I think all of these are
worthwhile fixes at this point."

In addition...

Felix Fietkau fixes an ath9k use-after-free issue.

Stanislaw Gruszka adds a valid value check to rt2800.

Sven Eckelmann adds a check to only check a TID value in a BlockAck, for
frames that could be either a BlockAck or a normal Ack.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
The following patchset contains fixes for your net tree, two of them
are due to relatively recent changes, one has been a longstanding bug,
they are:

* Fix incorrect usage of rt_gateway in the H.323 helper, from
  Julian Anastasov.

* Skip re-route in nf_nat code for ICMP traffic. If CONFIG_XFRM is
  enabled, we waste cycles to look up for the route again. This problem
  seems to be there since really long time. From Ulrich Weber.

* Fix mismatching section in nf_conntrack_reasm, from Hein Tibosch.
