      net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. · 81adee47
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      can: fix WARN_ON dump in net/core/rtnetlink.c:rtmsg_ifinfo() · 53a0ef86
      Wolfgang Grandegger authored
      On older kernels, e.g. 2.6.27, a WARN_ON dump in rtmsg_ifinfo()
      is thrown when the CAN device is registered due to insufficient
      skb space, as reported by various users. This patch adds the
      rtnl_link_ops "get_size" to fix the problem. I think this patch
      is required for more recent kernels as well, even if no WARN_ON
      dumps are triggered. Maybe we also need "get_xstats_size" for
      the CAN xstats.

      fsl_pq_mdio: Fix compiler/sparse warnings (part 2) · 6748f60b
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      This patch fixes following warnings:
      
      fsl_pq_mdio.c:112:38: warning: cast adds address space to expression (<asn:2>)
      fsl_pq_mdio.c:124:38: warning: cast adds address space to expression (<asn:2>)

      fsl_pq_mdio.c:414:11: warning: cast adds address space to expression (<asn:2>)
      
      Instead of adding __force all over the place, introduce convenient
      fsl_pq_mdio_get_regs() call that does the ugly casting just once.

      commit 1d2397d7 ("fsl_pq_mdio: Add

      fsl_pq_mdio.c: In function 'fsl_pq_mdio_probe':
      fsl_pq_mdio.c:287: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
      fsl_pq_mdio.c:287: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
      
      These warnings are not easy to fix without ugly __force casts. So,
      instead of introducing the casts, rework the code to substitute an
      offset from an already mapped area. This makes the code a lot simpler
      and less duplicated.
      
      Plus, from now on we don't actually map reserved registers on
      non-etsec2.0 devices, so we have more chances to catch programming
      errors.

      can: should not use __dev_get_by_index() without locks · 6755aeba
      Eric Dumazet authored
      bcm_proc_getifname() is called with RTNL and dev_base_lock
      not held. It calls __dev_get_by_index() without locks, and
      this is illegal (might crash)
      
      Close the race by holding dev_base_lock and copying dev->name
      in the protected section.
