bnep_add_connection() reads the L2CAP connection without holding the
channel lock, then passes its HCI device to register_netdev(). Controller
teardown can clear and release that connection concurrently, leaving the
network device registration path to dereference a freed parent device.
Take a reference to the L2CAP connection while holding the channel lock.
Retain it until register_netdev() has taken the parent device reference.

A BNEP peer can send a short BNEP SDU. bnep_rx_frame() reads the
packet type byte immediately and, for control packets, reads the control
opcode and setup UUID-size byte before proving that those bytes are
present. bnep_rx_control() also dereferences the control opcode without
rejecting an empty control payload.
Use skb_pull_data() for the fixed fields in bnep_rx_frame() so a NULL
return gates each dereference. Split the control handler so the frame
path can pass an opcode that has already been pulled, and keep the
byte-buffer wrapper for extension control payloads.
For BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ, name the UUID-size byte before pulling the
setup payload. struct bnep_setup_conn_req carries destination and source
service UUIDs after that byte, each uuid_size bytes, so the parser now
documents that tuple explicitly instead of leaving the pull length as an
opaque multiplication.

bnep_add_connection() needs to keep holding the bnep_session_sem while
reading dev->name (just like bnep_get_connlist() does); otherwise the
bnep_session() thread can concurrently free the net_device, which can for
example be triggered by a concurrent bnep_del_connection().
(This UAF is fairly uninteresting from a security perspective;
calling bnep_add_connection() requires passing a capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)
check. It also requires completely tearing down a netdev during a fairly
tight race window.)

In bnep_rx_frame(), the BNEP_FILTER_NET_TYPE_SET and
BNEP_FILTER_MULTI_ADDR_SET extension header parsing has two bugs:
1) The 2-byte length field is read with *(u16 *)(skb->data + 1), which
performs a native-endian read. The BNEP protocol specifies this field
in big-endian (network byte order), and the same file correctly uses
get_unaligned_be16() for the identical fields in
bnep_ctrl_set_netfilter() and bnep_ctrl_set_mcfilter().
2) The length is multiplied by 2, but unlike BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ where
the length byte counts UUID pairs (requiring * 2 for two UUIDs per
entry), the filter extension length field already represents the total
data size in bytes. This is confirmed by bnep_ctrl_set_netfilter()
which reads the same field as a byte count and divides by 4 to get
the number of filter entries.
The bogus * 2 means skb_pull advances twice as far as it should,
either dropping valid data from the next header or causing the pull
to fail entirely when the doubled length exceeds the remaining skb.
Fix by splitting the pull into two steps: first use skb_pull_data() to
safely pull and validate the 3-byte fixed header (ctrl type + length),
then pull the variable-length data using the properly decoded length.

A Linux PC is connected with another device over Bluetooth PAN using a
BNEP interface.
Whenever a packet is tried to be sent over the BNEP interface, the
function "bnep_net_xmit()" in "net/bluetooth/bnep/netdev.c" is called.
This function calls "bnep_net_mc_filter()", which checks (if the
destination address is multicast) if the address is set in a certain
multicast filter (&s->mc_filter). If it is not, then it is not sent out.
This filter is only changed in two other functions, found in
net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c": in "bnep_ctrl_set_mc_filter()", which is
only called if a message of type "BNEP_FILTER_MULTI_ADDR_SET" is
received. Otherwise, it is set in "bnep_add_connection()", where it is
set to a default value which only adds the broadcast address to the
filter:
set_bit(bnep_mc_hash(dev->broadcast), (ulong *) &s->mc_filter);
To sum up, if the BNEP interface does not receive any message of type
"BNEP_FILTER_MULTI_ADDR_SET", it will not send out any messages with
multicast destination addresses except for broadcast.
However, in the BNEP specification (page 27 in
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/Bluetooth/BNEP.pdf), it is said
that per default, all multicast addresses should not be filtered, i.e.
the BNEP interface should be able to send packets with any multicast
destination address.
It seems that the default case is wrong: the multicast filter should not
block almost all multicast addresses, but should not filter out any.
This leads to the problem that e.g. Neighbor Solicitation messages sent
with Bluetooth PAN over the BNEP interface to a multicast destination
address other than broadcast are blocked and not sent out.
Therefore, in the default case, we set the mc_filter to ~0LL to not
filter out any multicast addresses.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.

same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.
