1aa46ec91c ipg.c: remove id [SUNDANCE, 0x1021]
ipg.c:
  The id [SUNDANCE, 0x1021] (=[0x13f0, 0x1021]) is defined
  at dl2k.h and ipg.c.
  But this device works better with dl2k driver.

  This problem is similar with the commit
  [25cca53527
  ipg: Remove device claimed by dl2k from pci id table]

7d8e76bf9a net: zero kobject in rx_queue_release
netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() can decrement and increment
the number of rx queues. For example ixgbe does this as
features and offloads are toggled. Presumably this could
also happen across down/up on most devices if the available
resources changed (cpu offlined).

The kobject needs to be zero'd in this case so that the
state is not preserved across kobject_put()/kobject_init_and_add().

This resolves the following error report.

dda0b38692 net: ipv4: tcp_probe: cleanup snprintf() use
snprintf() returns number of bytes that were copied if there is no overflow.
This code uses return value as number of copied bytes.  Theoretically format
string '%lu.%09lu %pI4:%u %pI4:%u %d %#x %#x %u %u %u %u\n' may be expanded
up to 163 bytes.  In reality tv.tv_sec is just few bytes instead of 20, 2 ports
are just 5 bytes each instead of 10, length is 5 bytes instead of 10.  The rest
is an unstrusted input.  Theoretically if tv_sec is big then copy_to_user() would
overflow tbuf.

tbuf was increased to fit in 163 bytes.  snprintf() is used to follow return
value semantic.

24b7ea9f6c 8139cp: fix checksum broken
I am not family with RealTek RTL-8139C+ series 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver.
I try to guess the meaning of RxProtoIP and IPFail.
RxProtoIP stands for received IPv4 packet that upper protocol is not tcp and udp.
!(status & IPFail) is true means that driver correctly to check checksum in IPv4 header.

If these are right, driver will set ip_summed with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for other
upper protocol, e.g. sctp, igmp protocol. This will cause protocol stack ignores
checksum check for packets with invalid checksum.

This patch is only compile-test.

218854af84 rds: Integer overflow in RDS cmsg handling
In rds_cmsg_rdma_args(), the user-provided args->nr_local value is
restricted to less than UINT_MAX.  This seems to need a tighter upper
bound, since the calculation of total iov_size can overflow, resulting
in a small sock_kmalloc() allocation.  This would probably just result
in walking off the heap and crashing when calling rds_rdma_pages() with
a high count value.  If it somehow doesn't crash here, then memory
corruption could occur soon after.

9f0f7272ac ipv4: AF_INET link address family
Implements the AF_INET link address family exposing the per
device configuration settings via netlink using the attribute
IFLA_INET_CONF.

The format of IFLA_INET_CONF differs depending on the direction
the attribute is sent. The attribute sent by the kernel consists
of a u32 array, basically a 1:1 copy of in_device->cnf.data[].
The attribute expected by the kernel must consist of a sequence
of nested u32 attributes, each representing a change request,
e.g.
	[IFLA_INET_CONF] = {
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING] = 1,
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_NOXFRM] = 0,
	}

f8ff182c71 rtnetlink: Link address family API
Each net_device contains address family specific data such as
per device settings and statistics. We already expose this data
via procfs/sysfs and partially netlink.

The netlink method requires the requester to send one RTM_GETLINK
request for each address family it wishes to receive data of
and then merge this data itself.

This patch implements a new API which combines all address family
specific link data in a new netlink attribute IFLA_AF_SPEC.
IFLA_AF_SPEC contains a sequence of nested attributes, one for each
address family which in turn defines the structure of its own
attribute. Example:

   [IFLA_AF_SPEC] = {
       [AF_INET] = {
           [IFLA_INET_CONF] = ...,
       },
       [AF_INET6] = {
           [IFLA_INET6_FLAGS] = ...,
           [IFLA_INET6_CONF] = ...,
       }
   }

The API also allows for address families to implement a function
which parses the IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute sent by userspace to
implement address family specific link options.

This makes sense in many situations (like -ENOBUFFS) but I want to be able to
immediately fail connections if they are denied by the SELinux netfilter hook.
Netfilter does not normally return ECONNREFUSED when it drops a packet so we
respect that error code as a final and fatal error that can not be recovered.

147b2c8cb4 e1000e: add netpoll support for MSI/MSI-X IRQ modes
With enabling CONFIG_PCI_MSI, e1000e could work in MSI/MSI-X IRQ mode,
and netpoll controller didn't deal with those IRQ modes on e1000e.

This patch add the handling MSI/MSI-X IRQ modes to netpoll controller,
so that netconsole could work with those IRQ modes.

1b98c2bb63 e1000e: 82574 intermittently fails to initialize with manageability f/w
The driver can fail initializing the hardware when manageability firmware
is performing concurrent MDIO operations because the hardware semaphore
scheme to prevent concurrent operations between software and firmware is
incorrect for 82574/82583.  Instead of using the SWSM register, the driver
should be using the EXTCNF_CTRL register.  A software mutex is also added
to prevent simultaneous software threads from performing similar concurrent
accesses.

d478eb44f7 e1000e: 82571 SerDes link handle null code word from partner
SerDes Link detection on certain 82571 mezzanine cards can fail when the
link is forced, the link partner does not recognize forced link and the
link partner sends null code words.  Detect the null code words and return
to auto-negotiation state which causes the link partner to begin responding
with valid code words.  Within a reasonable interval the link will finally
settle as forced by both partners.
