Receiving a ICMP response to an IPIP packet in a non-linear skb could
cause a kernel panic in __skb_pull.

The problem was introduced in
commit f2edb9f7706dcb2c0d9a362b2ba849efe3a97f5e ("ipvs: implement
passive PMTUD for IPIP packets").

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next,
most relevantly they are:

* cleanup to remove double semicolon from stephen hemminger.

* calm down sparse warning in xt_ipcomp, from Fan Du.

* nf_ct_labels support for nf_tables, from Florian Westphal.

* new macros to simplify rcu dereferences in the scope of nfnetlink
  and nf_tables, from Patrick McHardy.

* Accept queue and drop (including reason for drop) to verdict
  parsing in nf_tables, also from Patrick.

* Remove unused random seed initialization in nfnetlink_log, from
  Florian Westphal.

* Allow to attach user-specific information to nf_tables rules, useful
  to attach user comments to rule, from me.

* Return errors in ipset according to the manpage documentation, from
  Jozsef Kadlecsik.

* Fix coccinelle warnings related to incorrect bool type usage for ipset,
  from Fengguang Wu.

* Add hash:ip,mark set type to ipset, from Vytas Dauksa.

* Fix message for each spotted by ipset for each netns that is created,
  from Ilia Mirkin.

* Add forceadd option to ipset, which evicts a random entry from the set
  if it becomes full, from Josh Hunt.

* Minor IPVS cleanups and fixes from Andi Kleen and Tingwei Liu.

* Improve conntrack scalability by removing a central spinlock, original
  work from Eric Dumazet. Jesper Dangaard Brouer took them over to address
  remaining issues. Several patches to prepare this change come in first
  place.

* Rework nft_hash to resolve bugs (leaking chain, missing rcu synchronization
  on element removal, etc. from Patrick McHardy.

* Restore context in the rule deletion path, as we now release rule objects
  synchronously, from Patrick McHardy. This gets back event notification for
  anonymous sets.

* Fix NAT family validation in nft_nat, also from Patrick.

* Improve scalability of xt_connlimit by using an array of spinlocks and
  by introducing a rb-tree of hashtables for faster lookup of accounted
  objects per network. This patch was preceded by several patches and
  refactorizations to accomodate this change including the use of kmem_cache,
  from Florian Westphal.

Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.

We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.

Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

const __read_mostly does not make any sense, because const

<title>ipvs: fix AF assignment in ip_vs_conn_new()</title>

If a fwmark is passed to ip_vs_conn_new(), it is passed in
vaddr, not daddr. Therefore we should set AF to AF_UNSPEC in
vaddr assignment (like we do in ip_vs_ct_in_get()), otherwise we
may copy only first 4 bytes of an IPv6 address into cp-&gt;daddr.

This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces
them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to
use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around.
This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32.

<title>ipvs: correct usage/allocation of seqadj ext in ipvs</title>

The IPVS FTP helper ip_vs_ftp could trigger an OOPS in nf_ct_seqadj_set,
after commit 41d73ec053d2 (netfilter: nf_conntrack: make sequence number
adjustments usuable without NAT).

This is because, the seqadj ext is now allocated dynamically, and the
IPVS code didn't handle this situation.  Fix this in the IPVS nfct
code by invoking the alloc function nfct_seqadj_ext_add().

net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c: In function 'sync_thread_master':
net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c:1640:8: warning: unused variable 'ret' [-Wunused-variable]

Commit 35a2af94c7ce7130ca292c68b1d27fcfdb648f6b ("sched/wait: Make the
__wait_event*() interface more friendly") changed how the interruption
state is returned. However, sync_thread_master() ignores this state,
now causing a compile warning.

According to Julian Anastasov &lt;ja@ssi.bg&gt;, this behavior is OK:

    "Yes, your patch looks ok to me. In the past we used ssleep() but IPVS
     users were confused why IPVS threads increase the load average. So, we
     switched to _interruptible calls and later the socket polling was
     added."

Document this, as requested by Peter Zijlstra, to avoid precious developers
disappearing in this pitfall in the future.
