commit 25e1ed6e64f52a692ba3191c4fde650aab3ecc07 upstream.

For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN
specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created nor
removed with the ip tool ...

This patch adds a private dellink function for the CAN device driver interface
that does just nothing.

It's a follow up to commit 993e6f2fd ("can: fix oops caused by wrong rtnl
newlink usage") but for dellink.

commit 562b103a21974c2f9cd67514d110f918bb3e1796 upstream.

The sizeof() is invoked on an incorrect variable, likely due to some
copy-paste error, and this might result in memory corruption. Fix this.

commit 969439016d2cf61fef53a973d7e6d2061c3793b1 upstream.

When accessing CAN network interfaces with AF_PACKET sockets e.g. by dhclient
this can lead to a skb_under_panic due to missing skb initialisations.

Add the missing initialisations at the CAN skbuff creation times on driver
level (rx path) and in the network layer (tx path).

commit 9b1087aa5e86448fe6ad40a58964e35f3ba423d5 upstream.

When changing flags in the CAN drivers ctrlmode the provided new content has to
be checked whether the bits are allowed to be changed. The bits that are to be
changed are given as a bitfield in cm-&gt;mask. Therefore checking against
cm-&gt;flags is wrong as the content can hold any kind of values.

The iproute2 tool sets the bits in cm-&gt;mask and cm-&gt;flags depending on the
detected command line options. To be robust against bogus user space
applications additionally sanitize the provided flags with the provided mask.

ikfree_skb() is Called in can_free_echo_skb(), which might be called from (TX
Error) interrupt, which triggers the folloing warning:

commit ab48b03ec9ae1840a1e427e2375bd0d9d554b4ed upstream.

If the restart timer is running due to BUS-OFF and the device is
disconnected an dev_put will decrease the usage counter to -1 thus
blocking the interface removal, resulting in the following dmesg
lines repeating every 10s:
can: notifier: receive list not found for dev can0
can: notifier: receive list not found for dev can0
can: notifier: receive list not found for dev can0
unregister_netdevice: waiting for can0 to become free. Usage count = -1

<title>candev: allow SJW user setting for bittiming calculation</title>

<id>2e1143742789463c00ed5e7f9bf471f2b707b493</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for SJW user settings to not set the synchronization
jump width (SJW) to 1 in any case when using the in-kernel bittiming
calculation.

The ip-tool from iproute2 already supports to pass the user defined SJW
value. The given SJW value is sanitized with the controller specific sjw_max
and the calculated tseg2 value. As the SJW can have values up to 4 providing
this value will lead to the maximum possible SJW automatically. A higher SJW
allows higher controller oscillator tolerances.

The function can_get_bittiming is not used anywhere else, so it should be
static.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
