8fd1d178a3 [NET]: Make the sk_clone() lighter
The sk_prot_alloc() already performs all the stuff needed by the
sk_clone(). Besides, the sk_prot_alloc() requires almost twice
less arguments than the sk_alloc() does, so call the sk_prot_alloc()
saving the stack a bit.

2e4afe7b35 [NET]: Move some core sock setup into sk_prot_alloc
The security_sk_alloc() and the module_get is a part of the
object allocations - move it in the proper place.

Note, that since we do not reset the newly allocated sock
in the sk_alloc() (memset() is removed with the previous
patch) we can safely do this.

Also fix the error path in sk_prot_alloc() - release the security
context if needed.

3f0666ee30 [NET]: Auto-zero the allocated sock object
We have a __GFP_ZERO flag that allocates a zeroed chunk of memory.
Use it in the sk_alloc() and avoid a hand-made memset().

This is a temporary patch that will help us in the nearest future :)

c308c1b20e [NET]: Cleanup the allocation/freeing of the sock object
The sock object is allocated either from the generic cache with
the kmalloc, or from the proc->slab cache.

Move this logic into an isolated set of helpers and make the
sk_alloc/sk_free look a bit nicer.

1e2e6b89f1 [NET]: Move the get_net() from sock_copy()
The sock_copy() is supposed to just clone the socket. In a perfect
world it has to be just memcpy, but we have to handle the security
mark correctly. All the extra setup must be performed in sk_clone() 
call, so move the get_net() into more proper place.

e56d6cd605 [TCP]: Process DSACKs that reside within a SACK block
DSACK inside another SACK block were missed if start_seq of DSACK
was larger than SACK block's because sorting prioritizes full
processing of the SACK block before DSACK. After SACK block
sorting situation is like this:

             SSSSSSSSS
                  D
                        SSSSSS
                               SSSSSSS

Because write_queue is walked in-order, when the first SACK block
has been processed, TCP is already past the skb for which the
DSACK arrived and we haven't taught it to backtrack (nor should
we), so TCP just continues processing by going to the next SACK
block after the DSACK (if any).

Whenever such DSACK is present, do an embedded checking during
the previous SACK block.

If the DSACK is below snd_una, there won't be overlapping SACK
block, and thus no problem in that case. Also if start_seq of
the DSACK is equal to the actual block, it will be processed
first.

Tested this by using netem to duplicate 15% of packets, and
by printing SACK block when found_dup_sack is true and the 
selected skb in the dup_sack = 1 branch (if taken):

  SACK block 0: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317)
  SACK block 1: 4344-5792 (relative to snd_una 2019137317) 

equal start seqnos => next_dup = 0, dup_sack = 1 won't occur...

  SACK block 0: 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
  SACK block 1: 2896-7240 (relative to snd_una 2019214061)
  DSACK skb match 5792-7240 (relative to snd_una)

...and next_dup = 1 case (after the not shown start_seq sort),
went to dup_sack = 1 branch.

The ohci_enable() function shared between pci_probe and pci_resume
takes a host endian config rom, but ohci->config_rom is __be32.  This

5307cc1aa5 Remove broken ptrace() special-case code from file mapping
The kernel has for random historical reasons allowed ptrace() accesses
to access (and insert) pages into the page cache above the size of the
file.

However, Nick broke that by mistake when doing the new fault handling in
commit 54cb8821de ("mm: merge populate and
nopage into fault (fixes nonlinear)".  The breakage caused a hang with
gdb when trying to access the invalid page.

The ptrace "feature" really isn't worth resurrecting, since it really is
wrong both from a portability _and_ from an internal page cache validity
standpoint.  So this removes those old broken remnants, and fixes the
ptrace() hang in the process.

Noticed and bisected by Duane Griffin, who also supplied a test-case
(quoth Nick: "Well that's probably the best bug report I've ever had,
thanks Duane!").

The I-cache disable is an errata workaround, so the solution is to

long as the creation of sysfs files silently failed, and we both missed
it before the merge, because we don't run SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y.

The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.

The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().

After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.

I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().

Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.

Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.

The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h

310928d963 [NETNS]: fix net released by rcu callback
When a network namespace reference is held by a network subsystem,
and when this reference is decremented in a rcu update callback, we
must ensure that there is no more outstanding rcu update before
trying to free the network namespace.

In the normal case, the rcu_barrier is called when the network namespace
is exiting in the cleanup_net function.

But when a network namespace creation fails, and the subsystems are
undone (like the cleanup), the rcu_barrier is missing.

This patch adds the missing rcu_barrier.

93ee31f14f [NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev failure.
Point 1:
The unregistering of a network device schedule a netdev_run_todo.
This function calls dev->destructor when it is set and the
destructor calls free_netdev.

Point 2:
In the case of an initialization of a network device the usual code
is:
 * alloc_netdev
 * register_netdev
    -> if this one fails, call free_netdev and exit with error.

Point 3:
In the register_netdevice function at the later state, when the device
is at the registered state, a call to the netdevice_notifiers is made.
If one of the notification falls into an error, a rollback to the
registered state is done using unregister_netdevice.

Conclusion:
When a network device fails to register during initialization because
one network subsystem returned an error during a notification call
chain, the network device is freed twice because of fact 1 and fact 2.
The second free_netdev will be done with an invalid pointer.

Proposed solution:
The following patch move all the code of unregister_netdevice *except*
the call to net_set_todo, to a new function "rollback_registered".

The following functions are changed in this way:
 * register_netdevice: calls rollback_registered when a notification fails
 * unregister_netdevice: calls rollback_register + net_set_todo, the call
                         order to net_set_todo is changed because it is the
                         latest now. Since it justs add an element to a list
                         that should not break anything.

3f776e8a25 IB/fmr_pool: Stop ib_fmr threads from contributing to load average
I noticed my machine was at a constant load average of 1. This was
because ib_create_fmr_pool calls kthread_create but does not
immediately wake the thread up.

Change to using kthread_run so we enter ib_fmr_cleanup_thread(), set
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, then go to sleep.
