Sure.

PS I used the wrong email for James the first time around.  So
let me repeat the question here.  Should secmark be preserved
or cleared across tunnels within the same name space? In fact,
do our security models even support name spaces?

[ Upstream commit b50edd7812852d989f2ef09dcfc729690f54a42d ]

I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally
generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface.

65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7&gt;

This is because we need to clear skb-&gt;tstamp before
entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check()
does not set skb-&gt;tstamp.

[ Upstream commit b736a623bd099cdf5521ca9bd03559f3bc7fa31c ]

handle_offloads() calls skb_reset_inner_headers() to store
the layer pointers to the encapsulated packet. However, we
currently push the vlag tag (if there is one) onto the packet
afterwards. This changes the MAC header for the encapsulated
packet but it is not reflected in skb-&gt;inner_mac_header, which
breaks GSO and drivers which attempt to use this for encapsulation
offloads.

<title>Revert "libceph: use memalloc flags for net IO"</title>

This reverts commit 89baaa570ab0b476db09408d209578cfed700e9f.

Dirty page throttling should be sufficient for us in the general case
so there is no need to use __GFP_MEMALLOC - it would be needed only in
the swap-over-rbd case, which we currently don't support.  (It would
probably take approximately the commit that is being reverted to add
that support, but we would also need the "swap" option to distinguish
from the general case and make sure swap ceph_client-s aren't shared
with anything else.)  See ceph-devel threads [1] and [2] for the
details of why enabling pfmemalloc reserves for all cases is a bad
thing.

On top of potential system lockups related to drained emergency
reserves, this turned out to cause ceph lockups in case peers are on
the same host and communicating via loopback due to sk_filter()
dropping pfmemalloc skbs on the receiving side because the receiving
loopback socket is not tagged with SOCK_MEMALLOC.

<title>net: dsa: fix filling routing table from OF description</title>

<content type='text'>
According to description in 'include/net/dsa.h', in cascade switches
configurations where there are more than one interconnected devices,
'rtable' array in 'dsa_chip_data' structure is used to indicate which
port on this switch should be used to send packets to that are destined
for corresponding switch.

However, dsa_of_setup_routing_table() fills 'rtable' with port numbers
of the _target_ switch, but not current one.

This commit removes redundant devicetree parsing and adds needed port
number as a function argument. So dsa_of_setup_routing_table() now just
looks for target switch number by parsing parent of 'link' device node.

To remove possible misunderstandings with the way of determining target
switch number, a corresponding comment was added to the source code and
to the DSA device tree bindings documentation file.

This was tested on a custom board with two Marvell 88E6095 switches with
following corresponding routing tables: { -1, 10 } and { 8, -1 }.

<title>ipv6: protect skb-&gt;sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack</title>

<content type='text'>
We should not consult skb-&gt;sk for output decisions in xmit recursion
levels &gt; 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence
the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process.

ipv6 does not conform with this in three places:

1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size

2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb-&gt;sk and checks if we should
   loop the packet back to the local socket

3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
   force a wrong MTU

Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting
tunnel devices.

2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb-&gt;sk and checks if we should
   loop the packet back to the local socket

3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
   force a wrong MTU

Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting
tunnel devices.

First, let's explain the problem.
Suppose you have an ipip interface that stands in the netns foo and its link
part in the netns bar (so the netns bar has an nsid into the netns foo).
Now, you remove the netns bar:
 - the bar nsid into the netns foo is removed
 - the netns exit method of ipip is called, thus our ipip iface is removed:
   =&gt; a netlink message is built in the netns foo to advertise this deletion
   =&gt; this netlink message requests an nsid for bar, thus a new nsid is
      allocated for bar and never removed.

This patch adds a check in peernet2id() so that an id cannot be allocated for
a netns which is currently destroyed.

This reverts
commit 4217291e592d ("netns: don't clear nsid too early on removal").

This is not the right fix, it introduces races.
