aoe: do not call bdi_init after blk_alloc_queue

2013-01-16T01:13:29+00:00

commit 0a41409c518083133e79015092585d68915865be upstream. blk_alloc_queue has already done a bdi_init, so do not bdi_init again in aoeblk_gdalloc. The extra call causes list corruption in the per-CPU backing dev info stats lists. Affected users see console WARNINGs about list_del corruption on percpu_counter_destroy when doing "rmmod aoe" or "aoeflush -a" when AoE targets have been detected and initialized by the system. The patch below applies to v3.6.11, with its v47 aoe driver. It is expected to apply to all currently maintained stable kernels except 3.7.y. A related but different fix has been posted for 3.7.y.

ACPI : do not use Lid and Sleep button for S5 wakeup

2013-01-16T01:13:28+00:00

commit b7e383046c2c7c13ad928cd7407eafff758ddd4b upstream. When system enters power off, the _PSW of Lid device is enabled. But this may cause the system to reboot instead of power off. A proper way to fix this is to always disable lid wakeup capability for S5. References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35262 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

tcp: RFC 5961 5.2 Blind Data Injection Attack Mitigation

2013-01-16T01:13:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 354e4aa391ed50a4d827ff6fc11e0667d0859b25 ] RFC 5961 5.2 [Blind Data Injection Attack].[Mitigation] All TCP stacks MAY implement the following mitigation. TCP stacks that implement this mitigation MUST add an additional input check to any incoming segment. The ACK value is considered acceptable only if it is in the range of ((SND.UNA - MAX.SND.WND) <= SEG.ACK <= SND.NXT). All incoming segments whose ACK value doesn't satisfy the above condition MUST be discarded and an ACK sent back. Move tcp_send_challenge_ack() before tcp_ack() to avoid a forward declaration.

tcp: tcp_replace_ts_recent() should not be called from tcp_validate_incoming()

2013-01-16T01:13:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit bd090dfc634ddd711a5fbd0cadc6e0ab4977bcaf ] We added support for RFC 5961 in latest kernels but TCP fails to perform exhaustive check of ACK sequence. We can update our view of peer tsval from a frame that is later discarded by tcp_ack() This makes timestamps enabled sessions vulnerable to injection of a high tsval : peers start an ACK storm, since the victim sends a dupack each time it receives an ACK from the other peer. As tcp_validate_incoming() is called before tcp_ack(), we should not peform tcp_replace_ts_recent() from it, and let callers do it at the right time.

tcp: refine SYN handling in tcp_validate_incoming

[ Upstream commit e371589917011efe6ff8c7dfb4e9e81934ac5855 ] Followup of commit 0c24604b68fc (tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2) As reported by Vijay Subramanian, we should send a challenge ACK instead of a dup ack if a SYN flag is set on a packet received out of window. This permits the ratelimiting to work as intended, and to increase correct SNMP counters.

tcp: implement RFC 5961 4.2

2013-01-16T01:13:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0c24604b68fc7810d429d6c3657b6f148270e528 ] Implement the RFC 5691 mitigation against Blind Reset attack using SYN bit. Section 4.2 of RFC 5961 advises to send a Challenge ACK and drop incoming packet, instead of resetting the session. Add a new SNMP counter to count number of challenge acks sent in response to SYN packets. (netstat -s | grep TCPSYNChallenge) Remove obsolete TCPAbortOnSyn, since we no longer abort a TCP session because of a SYN flag.
