      Nest rename_lock inside vfsmount_lock · 7ea600b5
      Al Viro authored
      ... lest we get livelocks between path_is_under() and d_path() and friends.
      
      The thing is, wrt fairness lglocks are more similar to rwsems than to rwlocks;
      it is possible to have thread B spin on attempt to take lock shared while thread
      A is already holding it shared, if B is on lower-numbered CPU than A and there's
      a thread C spinning on attempt to take the same lock exclusive.
      
      As the result, we need consistent ordering between vfsmount_lock (lglock) and
      rename_lock (seq_lock), even though everything that takes both is going to take
      vfsmount_lock only shared.

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Always increment IPV4 ID field in encapsulated GSO packets, even
          when DF is set.  Regression fix from Pravin B Shelar.
      
       2) Fix per-net subsystem initialization in netfilter conntrack,
          otherwise we may access dynamically allocated memory before it is
          actually allocated.  From Gao Feng.
      
       3) Fix DMA buffer lengths in iwl3945 driver, from Stanislaw Gruszka.
      
       4) Fix race between submission of sync vs async commands in mwifiex
          driver, from Amitkumar Karwar.
      
       5) Add missing cancel of command timer in mwifiex driver, from Bing
          Zhao.
      
       6) Missing SKB free in rtlwifi USB driver, from Jussi Kivilinna.
      
       7) Thermal layer tries to use a genetlink multicast string that is
          longer than the 16 character limit.  Fix it and add a BUG check to
          prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future.
      
       From Masatake YAMATO.
      
       8) Fix many bugs in the handling of the teardown of L2TP connections,
          UDP encapsulation instances, and sockets.  From Tom Parkin.
      
       9) Missing socket release in IRDA, from Kees Cook.
      
      10) Fix fec driver modular build, from Fabio Estevam.
      
      11) Erroneous use of kfree() instead of free_netdev() in lantiq_etop,
          from Wei Yongjun.
      
      12) Fix bugs in handling of queue numbers and steering rules in mlx4
          driver, from Moshe Lazer, Hadar Hen Zion, and Or Gerlitz.
      
      13) Some FOO_DIAG_MAX constants were defined off by one, fix from Andrey
          Vagin.
      
      14) TCP segmentation deferral is unintentionally done too strongly,
          breaking ACK clocking.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
      15) net_enable_timestamp() can legitimately be invoked from software
          interrupts, and in a way that is safe, so remove the WARN_ON().
          Also from Eric Dumazet.
      
      16) Fix use after free in VLANs, from Cong Wang.
      
      17) Fix TCP slow start retransmit storms after SACK reneging, from
          Yuchung Cheng.
      
      18) Unix socket release should mark a socket dead before NULL'ing out
          sock->sk, otherwise we can race.  Fix from Paul Moore.
      
      19) IPV6 addrconf code can try to free static memory, from Hong Zhiguo.
      
      20) Fix register mis-programming, NULL pointer derefs, and wrong PHC
          clock frequency in IGB driver.  From Lior LevyAlex Williamson, Jiri
          Benc, and Jeff Kirsher.
      
      21) skb->ip_summed logic in pch_gbe driver is reversed, breaking packet
          forwarding.  Fix from Veaceslav Falico.

      ipv4: Fix ip-header identification for gso packets. · 330305cc
      Pravin B Shelar authored
      ip-header id needs to be incremented even if IP_DF flag is set.
      This behaviour was changed in commit 490ab081
      (IP_GRE: Fix IP-Identification).
      
      Following patch fixes it so that identification is always
      incremented.
