Range/validity checks on rta_type in rtnetlink_rcv_msg() do
not account for flags that may be set.  This causes the function
to return -EINVAL when flags are set on the type (for example
NLA_F_NESTED).

[ Upstream commit 84d73cd3fb142bf1298a8c13fd4ca50fd2432372 ]

Initialize the mac address buffer with 0 as the driver specific function
will probably not fill the whole buffer. In fact, all in-kernel drivers
fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible
bytes. Therefore we currently leak 26 bytes of stack memory to userland
via the netlink interface.

<title>net: fix rtnetlink IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI handling</title>

[ Upstream commit b1beb681cba5358f62e6187340660ade226a5fcc ]

When device flags are set using rtnetlink, IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI
flags are handled specially. Function dev_change_flags sets IFF_PROMISC and
IFF_ALLMULTI bits in dev-&gt;gflags according to the passed value but
do_setlink passes a result of rtnl_dev_combine_flags which takes those bits
from dev-&gt;flags.

This can be easily trigerred by doing:

tcpdump -i eth0 &amp;
ip l s up eth0

ip sets IFF_UP flag in ifi_flags and ifi_change, which is combined with
IFF_PROMISC by rtnl_dev_combine_flags, causing __dev_change_flags to set
IFF_PROMISC in gflags.

Add VF spoof check to IFLA policy.  The original patch I submitted to
add the spoof checking feature to rtnl failed to add the proper policy
rule that identifies the data type and len.  This patch corrects that
oversight.  No bugs have been reported against this but it may cause
some problem for the netlink message parsing that uses the policy
table.
