      tun: fix rcu_read_lock imbalance in tun_build_skb · 654d5738
      Xin Long authored 
      rcu_read_lock in tun_build_skb is used to rcu_dereference tun->xdp_prog
safely, rcu_read_unlock should be done in every return path.

Now I could see one place missing it, where it returns NULL in switch-case
XDP_REDIRECT,  another palce using rcu_read_lock wrongly, where it returns
NULL in if (xdp_xmit) chunk.

So fix both in this patch.

      tcp: when scheduling TLP, time of RTO should account for current ACK · ed66dfaf
      Neal Cardwell authored 
      Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we
ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for
the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO
times.

After the following fix:

df92c839 ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")

we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of
scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then
suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms:

t=0: send a flight of N packets
t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets

The response before df92c839 that was:
  -> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval

The response after df92c839 is:
  -> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval

Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have
scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for
RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the
timer fires soon.

Before df92c839 this would not happen, because in that code, when
we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did:

    1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO
       at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval:
            if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
                   tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

    2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval:
            if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
                   tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

    3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO
       to TLP at now + RTO_interval:
            if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
                   tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);

In df92c839 we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly
set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to
write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT
variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer
to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight
takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then
the TLP timer fires too quickly.

      usbnet: ipheth: fix potential null pointer dereference in ipheth_carrier_set · 61c59355
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored 
      _dev_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there
is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _dev_ has been null
checked.
