Because the socket buffer is freed in the completion interrupt, it is not
safe to access it after submitting it to the hardware.

if_open() calls try_module_get(), and after an attempt to lock a mutex
the if_open() function may return -ERESTARTSYS without
putting the module.  Then, when if_open() is executed again,
try_module_get() is called making the reference counter of THIS_MODULE
greater than one at successful exit from if_open().  The if_close()
function puts the module only once, and as a result it can't be
unloaded.

This patch adds module_put call before the return from if_open().

[PATCH v2] net: rfs: enable RFS before first data packet is received

First packet received on a passive tcp flow is not correctly RFS
steered.

One sock_rps_record_flow() call is missing in inet_accept()

But before that, we also must record rxhash when child socket is setup.

Commit 8d8fc29d changed the behavior of slave
devices in regards to netpoll.  Specifically it created a mutually exclusive
relationship between being a slave and a netpoll-capable device.  This creates
problems for KVM because guests relied on needing netconsole active on a slave
device to a bridge.  Ideally libvirtd could just attach netconsole to the bridge
device instead, but thats currently infeasible, because while the bridge device
supports netpoll, it requires that all slave interface also support it, but the
tun/tap driver currently does not.  The most direct solution is to teach tun/tap
to support netpoll, which is implemented by the patch below.

I've not tested this yet, but its pretty straightforward.

The dp83640 PHY provides time stamp and other information via special
PHY status frames. Previously, the driver decoded the frames and then
let the network stack drop them. This works fine when the PTP messages
come over UDP.

However, when receiving PTP messages via L2 packets, this creates a
problem. The status frames use the official PTP destination MAC address,
and so they are delivered to user space along with the "real" frames,
causing confusion for applications.

This commit fixes the issue by simply dropping the PHY status frames
in the driver.

Upon reception of a MGM report packet the kernel sets the mrouters_only flag
in a skb that is a clone of the original skb, which means that the bridge
loses track of MGM packets (cb buffers are tied to a specific skb and not
shared) and it ends up forwading join requests to the bridge interface.

This can cause unexpected membership timeouts and intermitent/permanent loss
of connectivity as described in RFC 4541 [2.1.1. IGMP Forwarding Rules]:

    A snooping switch should forward IGMP Membership Reports only to
    those ports where multicast routers are attached.
    [...]
    Sending membership reports to other hosts can result, for IGMPv1
    and IGMPv2, in unintentionally preventing a host from joining a

Introducing driver for the network port of Samsung Kalmia based USB LTE modems.
It has also an ACM interface that previous patches associates with the "option"
module. To access those interfaces, the modem must first be switched from modem
mode using a tool like usb_modeswitch.

As the proprietary protocol has been discovered by watching the MS Windows driver
behavior, there might be errors in the protocol handling, but stable and fast
connection has been established for hours with Norwegian operator NetCom that
distributes this modem with their LTE/4G subscription.

More and updated information about how to use this driver is available here:

example is passive FTP with DNAT rule and difference in the

seq adjustment to happen only in POSTROUTING.

By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local
application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel
to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the
process.

These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the
kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue,
netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a
hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP
header instead.

This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header
if there is none in the packet.

Quote from Patric Mc Hardy
"This looks like nfnetlink.c excited and destroyed the nfnl socket, but
ip_vs was still holding a reference to a conntrack. When the conntrack
got destroyed it created a ctnetlink event, causing an oops in
netlink_has_listeners when trying to use the destroyed nfnetlink
socket."

If nf_conntrack_netlink is loaded before ip_vs this is not a problem.

This patch simply avoids calling ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack()
when netns is dying as suggested by Julian.
