46c5ea3c9a [NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86
When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:

sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))

ipt_standard_target looks like this:

  struct xt_standard_target
  {
        struct xt_entry_target target;
        int verdict;
  };

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.

The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by

  sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),

which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

Thanks to Linus for lots of debugging help and testing.

c302e6d54e [IPV6]: Fix race in route selection.
We eliminated rt6_dflt_lock (to protect default router pointer)
at 2.6.17-rc1, and introduced rt6_select() for general router selection.
The function is called in the context of rt6_lock read-lock held,
but this means, we have some race conditions when we do round-robin.

a76e07acd0 [IPSEC]: Fix IP ID selection
I was looking through the xfrm input/output code in order to abstract
out the address family specific encapsulation/decapsulation code.  During
that process I found this bug in the IP ID selection code in xfrm4_output.c.

At that point dst is still the xfrm_dst for the current SA which
represents an internal flow as far as the IPsec tunnel is concerned.
Since the IP ID is going to sit on the outside of the encapsulated
packet, we obviously want the external flow which is just dst->child.

e1bbdebdba [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: Fix module refcount dropping too far
If nf_ct_l3proto_find_get() fails to get the refcount of
nf_ct_l3proto_generic, nf_ct_l3proto_put() will drop the refcount
too far.

This gets rid of '.me = THIS_MODULE' of nf_ct_l3proto_generic so that
nf_ct_l3proto_find_get() doesn't try to get refcount of it.
It's OK because its symbol is usable until nf_conntrack.ko is unloaded.

This also kills unnecessary NULL pointer check as well.
__nf_ct_proto_find() allways returns non-NULL pointer.

fc242746ea [PATCH] softmac: dont send out packets while scanning
Seems we forgot to stop the queue while scanning. Better do that so we
don't transmit packets all the time during background scanning.

ba2f8c1875 [PATCH] softmac: return -EAGAIN from getscan while scanning
Below patch was developed after discussion with Daniel Drake who
mentioned to me that wireless tools expect an EAGAIN return from getscan
so that they can wait for the scan to finish before printing out the
results.

9b0b4d8ae8 [PATCH] softmac: fix spinlock recursion on reassoc
This fixes a spinlock recursion on receiving a reassoc request.

On reassoc, the softmac calls back into the driver. This results in a
driver lock recursion. This schedules the assoc workqueue, instead
of calling it directly.

Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing
to a tasklet or workqueue, because it does several callbacks into the driver.
That is dangerous.

This fix should go into linus's tree, before 2.6.17 is released, because it
is remote exploitable (DoS by crash).

a417016d1a [PATCH] wext: Fix IWENCODEEXT security permissions
Check the permissions when user-space try to read the
encryption parameters via SIOCGIWENCODEEXT. This is trivial and
probably should go in 2.6.17...
