net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flag
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
"The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
qlen counters."
and later explained:
"The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.
This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."
David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
"Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
attributes.
So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"
The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."
This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

sctp: Drop ipfargok in sctp_xmit function
The ipfragok flag controls whether the packet may be fragmented
either on the local host on beyond. The latter is only valid on
IPv4.
In fact, we never want to do the latter even on IPv4 when PMTU is
enabled. This is because even though we can't fragment packets
within SCTP due to the prtocol's inherent faults, we can still
fragment it at IP layer. By setting the DF bit we will improve
the PMTU process.
RFC 2960 only says that we SHOULD clear the DF bit in this case,
so we're compliant even if we set the DF bit. In fact RFC 4960
no longer has this statement.
Once we make this change, we only need to control the local
fragmentation. There is already a bit in the skb which controls
that, local_df. So this patch sets that instead of using the
ipfragok argument.
The only complication is that there isn't a struct sock object
per transport, so for IPv4 we have to resort to changing the
pmtudisc field for every packet. This should be safe though
as the protocol is single-threaded.
Note that after this patch we can remove ipfragok from the rest
of the stack too.

If a netdevice does not support hardware GSO, allowing the stack to

a win as far as throughput and/or CPU usage are concerned, since it
reduces the number of trips through the output path.
This patch enables the use of GSO on any netdevice that supports SG.

PNP: fix formatting of dbg_pnp_show_resources() output
Each resource should be printed on its own line, so start snprintf'ing
at the beginning of the buffer every time through the loop.
Also, use scnprintf() rather than snprintf() when building up the
buffer to print. scnprintf() returns the number of characters actually
written into the buffer (not including the trailing NULL).
snprintf() returns the number of characters that *would be* written,
assuming everything would fit in the buffer. That's nice if we want to
resize the buffer to make sure everything fits, but in this case, I
just want to keep from overflowing the buffer, and it's OK if the
output is truncated.
Using snprintf() meant that my "len" could grow to be more than the
the buffer size, which makes "sizeof(buf) - len" negative, which causes
this alarming WARN_ON:

tracehook: fix exit_signal=0 case
My commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.
Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

kernel/audit.c control character detection is off-by-one
Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

rectified.
