      tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer · f23eb2b2
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for
      the next tick to complete some actions.  That's usually not all that
      noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being
      totally unacceptable.
      
      As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty
      will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations
      will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration.
      
      Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case
      down to 0.009s on my machine.
      
      In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for
      things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface
      using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).

      IPVS: Use global mutex in ip_vs_app.c · 736561a0
      Simon Horman authored
      As part of the work to make IPVS network namespace aware
      __ip_vs_app_mutex was replaced by a per-namespace lock,
      ipvs->app_mutex. ipvs->app_key is also supplied for debugging purposes.
      
      Unfortunately this implementation results in ipvs->app_key residing
      in non-static storage which at the very least causes a lockdep warning.
      
      This patch takes the rather heavy-handed approach of reinstating
      __ip_vs_app_mutex which will cover access to the ipvs->list_head
      of all network namespaces.

      veth: Fix the byte counters · 675071a2
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Commit 44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced
      a bug in the packet counters.  I don't understand why that happened as it
      is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb
      retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet.
      
      I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two
      noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between
      the two.  I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were
      exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction.  I got the actual
      packet lengths with tcpdump.
      
      So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals.

      net ipv6: Fix duplicate /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh directory entries. · 9d2a8fa9
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      When I was fixing issues with unregisgtering tables under /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh
      by adding a mount point it appears I missed a critical ordering issue, in the
      ipv6 initialization.  I had not realized that ipv6_sysctl_register is called
      at the very end of the ipv6 initialization and in particular after we call
      neigh_sysctl_register from ndisc_init.
      
      "neigh" needs to be initialized in ipv6_static_sysctl_register which is
      the first ipv6 table to initialized, and definitely before ndisc_init.
      This removes the weirdness of duplicate tables while still providing a
      "neigh" mount point which prevents races in sysctl unregistering.

      macvlan: Fix use after free of struct macvlan_port. · d5cd9244
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      When the macvlan driver was extended to call unregisgter_netdevice_queue
      in 23289a37, a use after free of struct
      macvlan_port was introduced.  The code in dellink relied on unregister_netdevice
      actually unregistering the net device so it would be safe to free macvlan_port.
      
      Since unregister_netdevice_queue can just queue up the unregister instead of
      performing the unregiser immediately we free the macvlan_port too soon and
      then the code in macvlan_stop removes the macaddress for the set of macaddress
      to listen for and uses memory that has already been freed.
      
      To fix this add a reference count to track when it is safe to free the macvlan_port
      and move the call of macvlan_port_destroy into macvlan_uninit which is guaranteed
      to be called after the final macvlan_port_close.

      can: c_can: Do basic c_can configuration _before_ enabling the interrupts · 4f2d56c4
      Jan Altenberg authored
      I ran into some trouble while testing the SocketCAN driver for the BOSCH
      C_CAN controller. The interface is not correctly initialized, if I put
      some CAN traffic on the line, _while_ the interface is being started
      (which means: the interface doesn't come up correcty, if there's some RX
      traffic while doing 'ifconfig can0 up').
      
      The current implementation enables the controller interrupts _before_
      doing the basic c_can configuration. I think, this should be done the
      other way round.
      
      The patch below fixes things for me.

      The BKL removal in appletalk introduced a use-after-free problem,
      where atalk_destroy_socket frees a sock, but we still release

      An easy fix is to take an extra reference on the sock and sock_put
