      net: neighbour table ABI problem · b9f5f52c
      Stephen Hemminger authored 
      The neighbor table time of last use information is returned in the
incorrect unit. Kernel to user space ABI's need to use USER_HZ (or
milliseconds), otherwise the application has to try and discover the
real system HZ value which is problematic.  Linux has standardized on
keeping USER_HZ consistent (100hz) even when kernel is running
internally at some other value.

This change is small, but it breaks the ABI for older version of
iproute2 utilities.  But these utilities are already broken since they
are looking at the psched_hz values which are completely different. So
let's just go ahead and fix both kernel and user space. Older
utilities will just print wrong values.

      irda: Sock leak on error path in irda_create. · 9ecad877
      Pavel Emelyanov authored 
      Bad type/protocol specified result in sk leak.

Fix is simple - release the sk if bad values are given,
but to make it possible just to call sk_free(), I move
some sk initialization a bit lower.

      ax25: Fix NULL pointer dereference and lockup. · 7dccf1f4
      Jarek Poplawski authored 
      From: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com>

There is only one function in AX25 calling skb_append(), and it really
looks suspicious: appends skb after previously enqueued one, but in
the meantime this previous skb could be removed from the queue.

This patch Fixes it the simple way, so this is not fully compatible with
the current method, but testing hasn't shown any problems.

      bluetooth: rfcomm_dev_state_change deadlock fix · 537d59af
      Dave Young authored 
      There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close:
	rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
	d->state = BT_CLOSED;
	d->state_changed(d, err);
	rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);

In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to
take the dlc lock, then we will deadlock.

Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in
rfcomm_dev_state_change.

why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's
another problem.  rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take
rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add the lock order is :
rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock

so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock.

Actually it's a regression caused by commit
1905f6c7 ("bluetooth :
__rfcomm_dlc_close lock fix"), the dlc state_change could be two
callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change. I
missed the rfcomm_sk_state_change that time.

Thanks Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for the effort in
commit 4c8411f8 ("bluetooth: fix
locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handling") but he missed the
rfcomm_dev_state_change lock issue.
