commit 5fa782c2f5ef6c2e4f04d3e228412c9b4a4c8809 re-worked the
handling of unknown parameters. sctp_init_cause_fixed() can now
return -ENOSPC if there is not enough tailroom in the error
chunk skb. When this happens, the error header is not appended to
the error chunk. In that case, the payload of the unknown parameter
should not be appended either.

Eric W. Biederman reported a lockdep splat in inet_twsk_deschedule()
This is caused by inet_twsk_purge(), run from process context,
and commit 575f4cd5a5b6394577 (net: Use rcu lookups in inet_twsk_purge.)
removed the BH disabling that was necessary.
Add the BH disabling but fine grained, right before calling
inet_twsk_deschedule(), instead of whole function.

commit 9b5e383c11b08784 (net: Introduce
unregister_netdevice_many()) left an active LIST_HEAD() in
rollback_registered(), with possible memory corruption.
Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore
touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better
close the bug for good, since its really subtle.

Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).
Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242beb (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)
This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

GCC emits all kinds of crazy zero extensions when we go from signed
int, to unsigned short, etc. etc.
This transformation has to be legal because:
1) In tkey_extract_bits() in mask_pfx(), the values are used to
perform shifts, on which negative values are undefined by C.
2) In fib_table_lookup() we perform comparisons with unsigned
values, constants, and additions. None of which should
encounter negative values.

This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
- new fields in struct net_device:
+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
- new netdev_ops:
+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
enabling features or their combinations
+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
changed dev->features
- new ethtool commands:
+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
changed
+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)

Assigning a socket in timewait state to skb->sk can trigger
kernel oops, e.g. in nfnetlink_log, which does:
if (skb->sk) {
read_lock_bh(&skb->sk->sk_callback_lock);
if (skb->sk->sk_socket && skb->sk->sk_socket->file) ...
in the timewait case, accessing sk->sk_callback_lock and sk->sk_socket
is invalid.
Either all of these spots will need to add a test for sk->sk_state != TCP_TIME_WAIT,
or xt_TPROXY must not assign a timewait socket to skb->sk.
This does the latter.
If a TW socket is found, assign the tproxy nfmark, but skip the skb->sk assignment,
thus mimicking behaviour of a '-m socket .. -j MARK/ACCEPT' re-routing rule.
The 'SYN to TW socket' case is left unchanged -- we try to redirect to the
listener socket.

If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed. Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.
This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.
Learned PMTU information self-expires.
This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.
As a consequence:
1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.
A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
situations.
2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
necessary at all.

NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link
notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link
notifications as a sort of side effect.
In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link
notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is
flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit
request from a driver.
This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we
could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on.
This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause
switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

investigates the full list of neighbor nodes
until it finds or not an already connected node whether
it is called locally or through a level 3 transit frame.

then a classical connect request is attempted.
Then there is no more reason for an extra loop such
as the one removed by this patch.

FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE
routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations
knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes.
Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is
looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when
a connect request to a neighbor node is received.
A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at
already established routes each time the system was looking for a
route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination
address was already connected, then the frame would be sent
through him. If not, a connection request would be issued.
The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect
request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node.
Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it
was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node.
Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch
improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.

As it turns out we never need to walk through the list of multicast
groups subscribed by the bridge interface itself (the only time we'd
want to do that is when we shut down the bridge, in which case we
simply walk through all multicast groups), we don't really need to
keep an hlist for mp->mglist.
This means that we can replace it with just a single bit to indicate
whether the bridge interface is subscribed to a group.

In a couple of spots where we are supposed to modify the port
group timer (p->timer) we instead modify the bridge interface
group timer (mp->timer).
The effect of this is mostly harmless. However, it can cause
port subscriptions to be longer than they should be, thus making
snooping less effective.

The list mp->mglist is used to indicate whether a multicast group
is active on the bridge interface itself as opposed to one of the
constituent interfaces in the bridge.
Unfortunately the operation that adds the mp->mglist node to the
list neglected to check whether it has already been added. This
leads to list corruption in the form of nodes pointing to itself.
Normally this would be quite obvious as it would cause an infinite
loop when walking the list. However, as this list is never actually
walked (which means that we don't really need it, I'll get rid of
it in a subsequent patch), this instead is hidden until we perform
a delete operation on the affected nodes.
As the same node may now be pointed to by more than one node, the
delete operations can then cause modification of freed memory.
This was observed in practice to cause corruption in 512-byte slabs,
most commonly leading to crashes in jbd2.
Thanks to Josef Bacik for pointing me in the right direction.
