      batman-adv: Make vis info stack traversal threadsafe · 1181e1da
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information
      about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected
      with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it.
      
      The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack
      and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will
      be initiated without the lock which protects the stack.
      
      The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that
      it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the
      current element in the list. The list may be modified during the
      unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer
      not pointing to correct next element.
      
      It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no
      elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which
      would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

      batman-adv: Remove vis info element in free_info · dda9fc6b
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      The free_info function will be called when no reference to the info
      object exists anymore. It must be ensured that the allocated memory
      gets freed and not only the elements which are managed by the info
      object.

      batman-adv: Remove vis info on hashing errors · 2674c158
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      A newly created vis info object must be removed when it couldn't be
      added to the hash. The old_info which has to be replaced was already
      removed and isn't related to the hash anymore.

      net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT · 709b46e8
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1,
      which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking
      ioctls is insufficient.  A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict
      with:
      
      SIOCAX25ADDUID
      SIOCAIPXPRISLT
      SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6
      SIOCGETSGCNT
      SIOCRSSCAUSE
      SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP
      SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES
      
      To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the
      the normal ioctl decode path.  I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function
      so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls.   I have added a compat_ioctl
      function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket
      I am using.  I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only
      works on raw sockets.  I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal
      ipmr_ioctl.
      
      This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT
      has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels.
      
      This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a
      64bit kernel.

      Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com>

          net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
      
          There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
          network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
          to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
          with a well known name.
      
          We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
          for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
          that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
          logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
      
          In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
          to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
          device source network namespace.

      Where apparently I forgot to add error handling to the path where we create
      a new network device in a new network namespace, and pass in an invalid pid.

      gro: Reset dev pointer on reuse · 66c46d74
      Herbert Xu authored
      On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping
      it and causing it to be reused by GRO.
      
      Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes
      the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer.
      
      This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream
      kernel due to changes in VLAN processing.
      
      However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer
      in the GRO reuse function in case a future user does the same thing.
