      --------------------------- cut here -------------------------------
      
      The reason is that when the bridge dev's address is changed, the
      br_fdb_change_mac_address() will add new address in fdb, but when
      the bridge was removed, the address entry in the fdb did not free,
      the bridge_fdb_cache still has objects when destroy the cache, Fix
      this by flushing the bridge address entry when removing the bridge.
      
      v2: according to the Toshiaki Makita and Vlad's suggestion, I only
          delete the vlan0 entry, it still have a leak here if the vlan id
          is other number, so I need to call fdb_delete_by_port(br, NULL, 1)
          to flush all entries whose dst is NULL for the bridge.

      net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces · d2615bf4
      Vlad Yasevich authored
      The following commit:
          b6c40d68
          net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP
      
      tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting.
      The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that
      was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count.
      This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently
      down.
      
      A later commit:
          deede2fa
          vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces
      
      fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up,
      thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN.
      
      The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack
      involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans,
      then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to
      the physical devices.  A simple examle of the scenario is the
      following:
      
        eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50
      
      If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to
      the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is
      currently required for operation as part of the bridge.  As a
      result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface.
      
      The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are
      VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect
      flag propagation.  As a result we can remove the generic solution
      introduced in b6c40d68 and leave
      it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block
      flag propagation or not.

      ipv4: fix race in concurrent ip_route_input_slow() · dcdfdf56
      Alexei Starovoitov authored
      CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently.
      if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate
      equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input
      via rt_cache_route()
      Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines:
      	orig = *p;
      	prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt);
      in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg.
      But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(),
      so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device
      refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as:
      	unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
      Adding mdelay() between above two lines makes it easily reproducible.
      Fix it similar to nh_pcpu_rth_output case.

      r8152: fix tx/rx memory overflow · 7937f9e5
      hayeswang authored
      The tx/rx would access the memory which is out of the desired range.
      Modify the method of checking the end of the memory to avoid it.
      
      For r8152_tx_agg_fill(), the variable remain may become negative.
      However, the declaration is unsigned, so the while loop wouldn't
      break when reaching the end of the desied memory. Although to change
      the declaration from unsigned to signed is enough to fix it, I also
      modify the checking method for safe. Replace
      
      		remain = rx_buf_sz - sizeof(*tx_desc) -
      			 (u32)((void *)tx_data - agg->head);
      
      with
      
      		remain = rx_buf_sz - (int)(tx_agg_align(tx_data) - agg->head);
      
      to make sure the variable remain is always positive. Then, the
      overflow wouldn't happen.
      
      For rx_bottom(), the rx_desc should not be used to calculate the
      packet length before making sure the rx_desc is in the desired range.
      Change the checking to two parts. First, check the descriptor is in
      the memory. The other, using the descriptor to find out the packet
      length and check if the packet is in the memory.

      aacraid: prevent invalid pointer dereference · b4789b8e
      Mahesh Rajashekhara authored
      It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small
      because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we
      access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd.
      
      It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this
      structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for
      commands without data.  So, we would recommend to add the following
      (instead of test for fibsize == 0).

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
       "Mostly these are fixes for fallout due to merge window changes, as
        well as cures for problems that have been with us for a much longer
        period of time"
      
       1) Johannes Berg noticed two major deficiencies in our genetlink
          registration.  Some genetlink protocols we passing in constant
          counts for their ops array rather than something like
          ARRAY_SIZE(ops) or similar.  Also, some genetlink protocols were
          using fixed IDs for their multicast groups.
      
          We have to retain these fixed IDs to keep existing userland tools
          working, but reserve them so that other multicast groups used by
          other protocols can not possibly conflict.
      
          In dealing with these two problems, we actually now use less state
          management for genetlink operations and multicast groups.
      
       2) When configuring interface hardware timestamping, fix several
          drivers that simply do not validate that the hwtstamp_config value
          is one the driver actually supports.  From Ben Hutchings.
      
       3) Invalid memory references in mwifiex driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.
      
       4) In dev_forward_skb(), set the skb->protocol in the right order
          relative to skb_scrub_packet().  From Alexei Starovoitov.
      
       5) Bridge erroneously fails to use the proper wrapper functions to make
          calls to netdev_ops->ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid.  Fix from Toshiaki
          Makita.
      
       6) When detaching a bridge port, make sure to flush all VLAN IDs to
          prevent them from leaking, also from Toshiaki Makita.
      
       7) Put in a compromise for TCP Small Queues so that deep queued devices
          that delay TX reclaim non-trivially don't have such a performance
          decrease.  One particularly problematic area is 802.11 AMPDU in
          wireless.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) Fix crashes in tcp_fastopen_cache_get(), we can see NULL socket dsts
          here.  Fix from Eric Dumzaet, reported by Dave Jones.
      
       9) Fix use after free in ipv6 SIT driver, from Willem de Bruijn.
      
      10) When computing mergeable buffer sizes, virtio-net fails to take the
          virtio-net header into account.  From Michael Dalton.
      
      11) Fix seqlock deadlock in ip4_datagram_connect() wrt.  statistic

          Hugne.
      
      13) 6lowpan bit used for traffic classification was wrong, from Jukka
          Rissanen.

          disabling down to the real device, fix it the same way.  From Michal
          Kubecek.
      
      15) CPSW driver needs to soft reset all slaves during suspend, from
          Daniel Mack.
      
      16) Fix small frame pacing in FQ packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.
      
      17) The xen-netfront RX buffer refill timer isn't properly scheduled on
          partial RX allocation success, from Ma JieYue.
      
      18) When ipv6 ping protocol support was added, the AF_INET6 protocol
          initialization cleanup path on failure was borked a little.  Fix
          from Vlad Yasevich.
      
      19) If a socket disconnects during a read/recvmsg/recvfrom/etc that
          blocks we can do the wrong thing with the msg_name we write back to
          userspace.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  There is another fix in the
          works from Hannes which will prevent future problems of this nature.
      
      20) Fix route leak in VTI tunnel transmit, from Fan Du.

      genetlink: clean up multicast group APIs
      
      The generic netlink multicast group registration doesn't have to
      be dynamic, and can thus be simplified just like I did with the
      ops. This removes some complexity in registration code.
      
      Additionally, two users of generic netlink already use multicast
      groups in a wrong way, add workarounds for those two to keep the
      userspace API working, but at the same time make them not clash
      with other users of multicast groups as might happen now.
      
      While making it all a bit easier, also prevent such abuse by adding
      checks to the APIs so each family can only use the groups it owns.

      genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse · 2a94fe48
      Johannes Berg authored
      Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
      the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
      of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
      send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
      families that's just 0 because the only have one group.
      
      This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
      field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.
      
      At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
      again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
      check that a family only uses a group it owns.

      This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the
      next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID
      within the family, rather than the global group ID.

      genetlink: add and use genl_set_err() · 62b68e99
      Johannes Berg authored
      Add a static inline to generic netlink to wrap netlink_set_err()
      to make it easier to use here - use it in openvswitch (the only
      generic netlink user of netlink_set_err()).
