[ Upstream commit 39935dccb21c60f9bbf1bb72d22ab6fd14ae7705 ]

If a DDP broadcast packet is sent out to a non-gateway target, it is
also looped back. There is a potential for the loopback device to have a
longer hardware header length than the original target route's device,
which can result in the skb not being created with enough room for the
loopback device's hardware header. This patch fixes the issue by
determining that a loopback will be necessary prior to allocating the
skb, and if so, ensuring the skb has enough room.

This was discovered while testing a new driver that creates a LocalTalk
network interface (LTALK_HLEN = 1). It caused an skb_under_panic.

commit c93ad1337ad06a718890a89cdd85188ff9a5a5cc upstream.

If register_snap_client fails in atalk_init,
error code should be set, otherwise it will
triggers NULL pointer dereference while unloading
module.

commit 9804501fa1228048857910a6bf23e085aade37cc upstream.

register_snap_client may return NULL, all the callers
check it, but only print a warning. This will result in
NULL pointer dereference in unregister_snap_client and other
places.

It has always been used like this since v2.6

It should check the return value of atalk_proc_init fails,

It should check the return value of atalk_proc_init fails,
otherwise atalk_exit will trgger use-after-free in pde_subdir_find
while unload the module.This patch fix error cleanup path of atalk_init

<title>appletalk: use IS_ENABLED() instead of checking for built-in or module</title>

The IS_ENABLED() macro checks if a Kconfig symbol has been enabled either
built-in or as a module, use that macro instead of open coding the same.

Using the macro makes the code more readable by helping abstract away some
of the Kconfig built-in and module enable details.

In preparation for changing how struct net is refcounted
on kernel sockets pass the knowledge that we are creating
a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc.

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.
