      net: lapbether: Remove netif_start_queue / netif_stop_queue · f7d9d485
      Xie He authored
      For the devices in this driver, the default qdisc is "noqueue",
      because their "tx_queue_len" is 0.
      
      In function "__dev_queue_xmit" in "net/core/dev.c", devices with the
      "noqueue" qdisc are specially handled. Packets are transmitted without
      being queued after a "dev->flags & IFF_UP" check. However, it's possible
      that even if this check succeeds, "ops->ndo_stop" may still have already
      been called. This is because in "__dev_close_many", "ops->ndo_stop" is
      called before clearing the "IFF_UP" flag.
      
      If we call "netif_stop_queue" in "ops->ndo_stop", then it's possible in
      "__dev_queue_xmit", it sees the "IFF_UP" flag is present, and then it
      checks "netif_xmit_stopped" and finds that the queue is already stopped.
      In this case, it will complain that:
      "Virtual device ... asks to queue packet!"
      
      To prevent "__dev_queue_xmit" from generating this complaint, we should
      not call "netif_stop_queue" in "ops->ndo_stop".
      
      We also don't need to call "netif_start_queue" in "ops->ndo_open",
      because after a netdev is allocated and registered, the
      "__QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF" flag is initially not set, so there is no need
      to call "netif_start_queue" to clear it.

      Netfilter fixes for net
      
      The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:
      
      1) Fix incorrect enum type definition in nfnetlink_cthelper UAPI,
         from Dmitry V. Levin.
      
      2) Remove extra space in deprecated automatic helper assignment
         notice, from Klemen Košir.
      
      3) Drop early socket demux socket after NAT mangling, from
         Florian Westphal. Add a test to exercise this bug.
      
      4) Fix bogus invalid packet report in the conntrack TCP tracker,
         also from Florian.
      
      5) Fix access to xt[NFPROTO_UNSPEC] list with no mutex
         in target/match_revfn(), from Vasily Averin.
      
      6) Disallow updates on the table ownership flag.
      
      7) Fix double hook unregistration of tables with owner.
      
      8) Remove bogus check on the table owner in __nft_release_tables().

      cipso,calipso: resolve a number of problems with the DOI refcounts · ad5d07f4
      Paul Moore authored
      The current CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting scheme for the DOI
      definitions is a bit flawed in that we:
      
      1. Don't correctly match gets/puts in netlbl_cipsov4_list().
      2. Decrement the refcount on each attempt to remove the DOI from the
         DOI list, only removing it from the list once the refcount drops
         to zero.
      
      This patch fixes these problems by adding the missing "puts" to
      netlbl_cipsov4_list() and introduces a more conventional, i.e.
      not-buggy, refcounting mechanism to the DOI definitions.  Upon the
      addition of a DOI to the DOI list, it is initialized with a refcount
      of one, removing a DOI from the list removes it from the list and
      drops the refcount by one; "gets" and "puts" behave as expected with
      respect to refcounts, increasing and decreasing the DOI's refcount by
      one.
      
      Fixes: b1edeb10 ("netlabel: Replace protocol/NetLabel linking with refrerence counts")
      Fixes: d7cce015 ("netlabel: Add support for removing a CALIPSO DOI.")
