      tuntap: Fix for a race in accessing numqueues · fa35864e
      Dominic Curran authored 
      A patch for fixing a race between queue selection and changing queues
was introduced in commit 92bb73ea("tuntap: fix a possible race between
queue selection and changing queues").

The fix was to prevent the driver from re-reading the tun->numqueues
more than once within tun_select_queue() using ACCESS_ONCE().

We have been experiancing 'Divide-by-zero' errors in tun_net_xmit()
since we moved from 3.6 to 3.10, and believe that they come from a
simular source where the value of tun->numqueues changes to zero
between the first and a subsequent read of tun->numqueues.

The fix is a simular use of ACCESS_ONCE(), as well as a multiply
instead of a divide in the if statement.

      bridge: Remove unnecessary vlan_put_tag in br_handle_vlan · bdf4351b
      Toshiaki Makita authored 
      br_handle_vlan() pushes HW accelerated vlan tag into skbuff when outgoing
port is the bridge device.
This is unnecessary because __netif_receive_skb_core() can handle skbs
with HW accelerated vlan tag. In current implementation,
__netif_receive_skb_core() needs to extract the vlan tag embedded in skb
data. This could cause low network performance especially when receiving
frames at a high frame rate on the bridge device.

      tcp: metrics: Fix rcu-race when deleting multiple entries · 00ca9c5b
      Christoph Paasch authored 
      In bbf852b9 I introduced the tmlist, which allows to delete
multiple entries from the cache that match a specified destination if no
source-IP is specified.

However, as the cache is an RCU-list, we should not create this tmlist, as
it will change the tcpm_next pointer of the element that will be deleted
and so a thread iterating over the cache's entries while holding the
RCU-lock might get "redirected" to this tmlist.

This patch fixes this, by reverting back to the old behavior prior to
bbf852b9, which means that we simply change the tcpm_next
pointer of the previous element (pp) to jump over the one we are
deleting.
The difference is that we call kfree_rcu() directly on the cache entry,
which allows us to delete multiple entries from the list.

Fixes: bbf852b9 (tcp: metrics: Delete all entries matching a certain destination)

      Merge branch 'bonding' · 7705b104
      David S. Miller authored 
      Ding Tianhong says:

====================
bonding: fix primary problem for bonding

If the slave's name changed, and the bond params primary is exist,
the bond should deal with the situation in two ways:

1) If the slave was the primary slave yet, clean the primary slave
   and reselect active slave.
2) If the slave's new name is as same as bond primary, set the slave
   as primary slave and reselect active slave.

If the new primary is not matching any slave in the bond, the bond should
record it to params, clean the primary slave and select a new active slave.

Update bonding.txt for primary description.

v2.1->v1: Because there are too many indentions and useless verification, so rewrite
	  the logic for updating the primary slave.
	  Modify some comments for to clean the typos.

v3->v2.1: Veaceslav disagree the first patch and modify the logic for it
	  (bonding: update the primary slave when changing slave's name)
	  and resend it himself (bonding: handle slave's name change with primary_slave logic),
	  so remove the first patch and send the last two patches.

      net: vxlan: convert to act as a pernet subsystem · 783c1463
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      As per suggestion from Eric W. Biederman, vxlan should be using
{un,}register_pernet_subsys() instead of {un,}register_pernet_device()
to ensure the vxlan_net structure is initialized before and cleaned
up after all network devices in a given network namespace i.e. when
dealing with network notifiers. This is similarly handeled already in
commit 91e2ff35 ("net: Teach vlans to cleanup as a pernet subsystem")
and, thus, improves upon fd27e0d4 ("net: vxlan: do not use vxlan_net
before checking event type"). Just as in 91e2ff35, we do not need
to explicitly handle deletion of vxlan devices as network namespace
exit calls dellink on all remaining virtual devices, and
rtnl_link_unregister() calls dellink on all outstanding devices in that
network namespace, so we can entirely drop the pernet exit operation
as well. Moreover, on vxlan module exit, rcu_barrier() is called by
netns since commit 3a765eda ("netns: Add an explicit rcu_barrier
to unregister_pernet_{device|subsys}"), so this may be omitted. Tested
with various scenarios and works well on my side.

      af_packet: Add Queue mapping mode to af_packet fanout operation · 2d36097d
      Neil Horman authored 
      This patch adds a queue mapping mode to the fanout operation of af_packet
sockets.  This allows user space af_packet users to better filter on flows
ingressing and egressing via a specific hardware queue, and avoids the potential
packet reordering that can occur when FANOUT_CPU is being used and irq affinity
varies.

Tested successfully by myself.  applies to net-next
