[ Upstream commit 24cf3af3fed5edcf90bc2a0ed181e6ce1513d2dc ]

In igmp_group_dropped() we call ip_mc_clear_src(), which resets the number
of source filters per mulitcast. However, igmp_group_dropped() is also
called on NETDEV_DOWN, NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE and NETDEV_UNREGISTER, which
means that the group might get added back on NETDEV_UP, NETDEV_REGISTER and
NETDEV_POST_TYPE_CHANGE respectively, leaving us with broken source
filters.

To fix that, we must clear the source filters only when there are no users
in the ip_mc_list, i.e. in ip_mc_dec_group() and on device destroy.

All callers are prepared for alloc failures anyway, so this error
can safely be boomeranged to the callers domain without super
bad consequences. ...At worst the connection might go into a state
where each RTO tries to (unsuccessfully) re-fragment with such
a mis-sized value and eventually dies.

[ Upstream commit 3e8c806a08c7beecd972e7ce15c570b9aba64baa ]

This reverts commit c191a836a908d1dd6b40c503741f91b914de3348.

It causes known regressions for programs that expect to be able to use
SO_REUSEADDR to shutdown a socket, then successfully rebind another
socket to the same ID.

Programs such as haproxy and amavisd expect this to work.

This should fix kernel bugzilla 32832.

controlling igmp_max_membership is useful even when IP_MULTICAST
is off.
Quagga(an OSPF deamon) uses multicast addresses for all interfaces
using a single socket and hits igmp_max_membership limit when
there are 20 interfaces or more.
Always export sysctl igmp_max_memberships in proc, just like
igmp_max_msf

[ Upstream commit 66944e1c5797562cebe2d1857d46dff60bf9a69e ]

On 64bit arches, we use 752 bytes of stack when cleanup_once() is called
from inet_getpeer().

Lets share the avl stack to save ~376 bytes.

Before patch :

# objdump -d net/ipv4/inetpeer.o | scripts/checkstack.pl

0x000006c3 unlink_from_pool [inetpeer.o]:		376
0x00000721 unlink_from_pool [inetpeer.o]:		376
0x00000cb1 inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x00000e6d inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x0004 inet_initpeers [inetpeer.o]:			112
# size net/ipv4/inetpeer.o

   5320	    432	     21	   5773	   168d	net/ipv4/inetpeer.o

After patch :

objdump -d net/ipv4/inetpeer.o | scripts/checkstack.pl
0x00000c11 inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x00000dcd inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376

commit 64f3b9e203bd06855072e295557dca1485a2ecba upstream.

Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path)
added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, in case timeout is fired.

When a frame is defragmented, we use last skb dst field when building
final skb. Its dst is valid, since we are in rcu read section.

But if a timeout occurs, we take first queued fragment to build one ICMP
TIME EXCEEDED message. Problem is all queued skb have weak dst pointers,
since we escaped RCU critical section after their queueing. icmp_send()
might dereference a now freed (and possibly reused) part of memory.

Calling skb_dst_drop() and ip_route_input_noref() to revalidate route is
the only possible choice.

commit c65353daf137dd41f3ede3baf62d561fca076228 upstream.

Scot Doyle demonstrated ip_options_compile() could be called with an skb
without an attached route, using a setup involving a bridge, netfilter,
and forged IP packets.

Let's make ip_options_compile() and ip_options_rcv_srr() a bit more
robust, instead of changing bridge/netfilter code.

With help from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

[ Upstream commit 67d4120a1793138bc9f4a6eb61d0fc5298ed97e0 ]

In the current undo logic, cwnd is moderated after it was restored
to the value prior entering fast-recovery. It was moderated first
in tcp_try_undo_recovery then again in tcp_complete_cwr.

Since the undo indicates recovery was false, these moderations
are not necessary. If the undo is triggered when most of the
outstanding data have been acknowledged, the (restored) cwnd is
falsely pulled down to a small value.

This patch removes these cwnd moderations if cwnd is undone
  a) during fast-recovery
	b) by receiving DSACKs past fast-recovery

[ Upstream commit 4a2b9c3756077c05dd8666e458a751d2248b61b6 ]

ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER
(1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0)

This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority
band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop
probabilities.

This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely
used.
