Some drivers may call this function when regdb is not initialized yet,
so we need to make sure regdb is valid before trying to access it.

Make sure regdb is initialized before trying to access it in
reg_query_regdb_wmm() and query_regdb().

Allocation size of nlmsg in cfg80211_ft_event is based on ric_ies_len
and doesn't take into account ies_len. This leads to
NL80211_CMD_FT_EVENT message construction failure in case ft_event
contains large enough ies buffer.
Add ies_len to the nlmsg allocation size.

There's currently no limit on wiphy names, other than netlink
message size and memory limitations, but that causes issues when,
for example, the wiphy name is used in a uevent, e.g. in rfkill
where we use the same name for the rfkill instance, and then the
buffer there is "only" 2k for the environment variables.

This was reported by syzkaller, which used a 4k name.

Limit the name to something reasonable, I randomly picked 128.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-31

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add raw BPF tracepoint API in order to have a BPF program type that
   can access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their
   raw form similar to kprobes based BPF programs. This infrastructure
   also adds a new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN command to BPF syscall which
   returns an anon-inode backed fd for the tracepoint object that allows
   for automatic detach of the BPF program resp. unregistering of the
   tracepoint probe on fd release, from Alexei.

2) Add new BPF cgroup hooks at bind() and connect() entry in order to
   allow BPF programs to reject, inspect or modify user space passed
   struct sockaddr, and as well a hook at post bind time once the port
   has been allocated. They are used in FB's container management engine
   for implementing policy, replacing fragile LD_PRELOAD wrapper
   intercepting bind() and connect() calls that only works in limited
   scenarios like glibc based apps but not for other runtimes in
   containerized applications, from Andrey.

3) BPF_F_INGRESS flag support has been added to sockmap programs for
   their redirect helper call bringing it in line with cls_bpf based
   programs. Support is added for both variants of sockmap programs,
   meaning for tx ULP hooks as well as recv skb hooks, from John.

4) Various improvements on BPF side for the nfp driver, besides others
   this work adds BPF map update and delete helper call support from
   the datapath, JITing of 32 and 64 bit XADD instructions as well as
   offload support of bpf_get_prandom_u32() call. Initial implementation
   of nfp packet cache has been tackled that optimizes memory access
   (see merge commit for further details), from Jakub and Jiong.

5) Removal of struct bpf_verifier_env argument from the print_bpf_insn()
   API has been done in order to prepare to use print_bpf_insn() soon
   out of perf tool directly. This makes the print_bpf_insn() API more
   generic and pushes the env into private data. bpftool is adjusted
   as well with the print_bpf_insn() argument removal, from Jiri.

6) Couple of cleanups and prep work for the upcoming BTF (BPF Type
   Format). The latter will reuse the current BPF verifier log as
   well, thus bpf_verifier_log() is further generalized, from Martin.

7) For bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt() helpers, IPv4 IP_TOS read
   and write support has been added in similar fashion to existing
   IPv6 IPV6_TCLASS socket option we already have, from Nikita.

8) Fixes in recent sockmap scatterlist API usage, which did not use
   sg_init_table() for initialization thus triggering a BUG_ON() in
   scatterlist API when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG was enabled. This adds and
   uses a small helper sg_init_marker() to properly handle the affected
   cases, from Prashant.

9) Let the BPF core follow IDR code convention and therefore use the
   idr_preload() and idr_preload_end() helpers, which would also help
   idr_alloc_cyclic() under GFP_ATOMIC to better succeed under memory
   pressure, from Shaohua.

10) Last but not least, a spelling fix in an error message for the
    BPF cookie UID helper under BPF sample code, from Colin.

This function iterates over net_namespace_list and flushes
the queue for every of them. What does this rtnl_lock()
protects?! Since we may add skbs to net::wext_nlevents
without rtnl_lock(), it does not protects us about queuers.

It guarantees, two threads can't flush the queue in parallel,
that can change the order, but since skb can be queued
in any order, it doesn't matter, how many threads do this
in parallel. In case of several threads, this will be even
faster.

So, we can remove rtnl_lock() here, as it was used for
iteration over net_namespace_list only.

<title>net: Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list</title>

<content type='text'>
rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high.
When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces,
he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock.
But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill,
and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already
for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(),
and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need
really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu()
is not fit there.

This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is
sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net
namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock()
in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes
less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock,
while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are
in next patches.

Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock,
so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation
allows that.
