      bridge: fix crash when set mac address of br interface · 9b46922e
      Hong zhi guo authored
      When I tried to set mac address of a bridge interface to a mac
      address which already learned on this bridge, I got system hang.
      
      The cause is straight forward: function br_fdb_change_mac_address
      calls fdb_insert with NULL source nbp. Then an fdb lookup is
      performed. If an fdb entry is found and it's local, it's OK. But
      if it's not local, source is dereferenced for printk without NULL
      check.

      8021q: fix a potential use-after-free · 4a7df340
      Cong Wang authored
      vlan_vid_del() could possibly free ->vlan_info after a RCU grace
      period, however, we may still refer to the freed memory area
      by 'grp' pointer. Found by code inspection.
      
      This patch moves vlan_vid_del() as behind as possible.

      net: remove a WARN_ON() in net_enable_timestamp() · 9979a55a
      Eric Dumazet authored
      The WARN_ON(in_interrupt()) in net_enable_timestamp() can get false
      positive, in socket clone path, run from softirq context :

      Its safe at this point because the parent socket owns a reference
      on the netstamp_needed, so we cant have a 0 -> 1 transition, which
      requires to lock a mutex.
      
      Instead of refining the check, lets remove it, as all known callers
      are safe. If it ever changes in the future, static_key_slow_inc()
      will complain anyway.

      tcp: preserve ACK clocking in TSO · f4541d60
      Eric Dumazet authored
      A long standing problem with TSO is the fact that tcp_tso_should_defer()
      rearms the deferred timer, while it should not.
      
      Current code leads to following bad bursty behavior :
