      xen: add new hypercall buffer mapping device · c51b3c63
      Juergen Gross authored
      For passing arbitrary data from user land to the Xen hypervisor the
      Xen tools today are using mlock()ed buffers. Unfortunately the kernel
      might change access rights of such buffers for brief periods of time
      e.g. for page migration or compaction, leading to access faults in the
      hypervisor, as the hypervisor can't use the locks of the kernel.
      
      In order to solve this problem add a new device node to the Xen privcmd
      driver to easily allocate hypercall buffers via mmap(). The memory is
      allocated in the kernel and just mapped into user space. Marked as
      VM_IO the user mapping will not be subject to page migration et al.

      net sched actions: fix refcnt leak in skbmod · a52956df
      Roman Mashak authored
      When application fails to pass flags in netlink TLV when replacing
      existing skbmod action, the kernel will leak refcnt:
      
      $ tc actions get action skbmod index 1
      total acts 0
      
              action order 0: skbmod pipe set smac 00:11:22:33:44:55
               index 1 ref 1 bind 0
      
      For example, at this point a buggy application replaces the action with
      index 1 with new smac 00:aa:22:33:44:55, it fails because of zero flags,
      however refcnt gets bumped:
      
      $ tc actions get actions skbmod index 1
      total acts 0
      
              action order 0: skbmod pipe set smac 00:11:22:33:44:55
               index 1 ref 2 bind 0
      $
      
      Tha patch fixes this by calling tcf_idr_release() on existing actions.
