      IPVS netns exit causes crash in conntrack · 8f4e0a18
      Hans Schillstrom authored
      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.

      net: cpu offline cause napi stall · 264524d5
      Heiko Carstens authored
      Frank Blaschka reported :
      <quote>
        During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus.
        Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device.
        Digging into the dump I found out following:
      
        napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers
        and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped
        because the budget was reached. napi stays in the
        softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again.
      
        I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in,
        the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the
        poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu.
      
        Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the
        poll_list is transfered to the new cpu.
      </quote>
      
      This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion :
      
      Transfert poll_list and trigger NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on new cpu.

      bridge: provide a cow_metrics method for fake_ops · 6407d74c
      Alexander Holler authored
      Like in commit 0972ddb2 (provide cow_metrics() methods to blackhole
      dst_ops), we must provide a cow_metrics for bridges fake_dst_ops as
      well.
      
      This fixes a regression coming from commits 62fa8a84 (net: Implement
      read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.) and 33eb9873 (bridge:
      initialize fake_rtable metrics)

      Eric Dumazet authored
      In 2.6.27, commit 393e52e3 (packet: deliver VLAN TCI to userspace)
      added a small information leak.
      
      Add padding field and make sure its zeroed before copy to user.

      irda: iriap: Use seperate lockdep class for irias_objects->hb_spinlock · 79b38915
      David S. Miller authored
      The SEQ output functions grab the obj->attrib->hb_spinlock lock of
      sub-objects found in the hash traversal.  These locks are in a different
      realm than the one used for the irias_objects hash table itself.
      
      So put the latter into it's own lockdep class.
