Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Remove socket skb caches

   - Add a SO_RESERVE_MEM socket op to forward allocate buffer space and
     avoid memory accounting overhead on each message sent

     resolved by the kernel for use in acceleration paths (BPF / XDP
     right now, HW offload users will benefit as well)

   - Make neighbor eviction on link down controllable by userspace to
     work around WiFi networks with bad roaming implementations

of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it go through appropriate helpers.

Convert media from memcpy(... 6) and memcpy(... addr_len) to
eth_hw_addr_set():

  - memcpy(dev-&gt;dev_addr, np, 6)

  @@
  - memcpy(dev-&gt;dev_addr, np, dev-&gt;addr_len)
  + eth_hw_addr_set(dev, np)

Make sure we don't cast off const qualifier from dev-&gt;dev_addr.

Preparations for future V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_NON_COHERENT support.

Extend the vb2_core_reqbufs() parameters list to accept requests'

An attempt to allocate a buffer with coherency requirements
that do not match the queue's consistency model will fail.

The implementation for FE_SET_PROPERTY/FE_GET_PROPERTY has
a debug code that might be explored via spectre.
Improve the logic in order to mitigate such risk.

It should be noticed that, before this patch, the logic
which implements FE_GET_PROPERTY doesn't check the length passed
by the user, which might lead to expose some information. This
is probably not exploitable, though, as the frontend drivers
won't rely on the buffer length value set by userspace, but
it helps to return a valid value back to userspace.

The code was changed to only try to access an array based on
userspace values only when DVB debug is turned on, helping to
reduce the attack surface, as a speculation attack would work
only if DVB dev_dbg() macros are enabled, which is usually
enabled only on test Kernels or by the root user.

As a side effect, a const array size can now be reduced by
~570 bytes, as it now needs to contain just the name of each
DTV command.

devices from the dvb_adapter_list in case of errors.

As reported by smatch:

	drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c:510 dvb_register_device() warn: '&amp;dvbdev-&gt;list_head' not removed from list
	drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c:530 dvb_register_device() warn: '&amp;dvbdev-&gt;list_head' not removed from list
	drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c:545 dvb_register_device() warn: '&amp;dvbdev-&gt;list_head' not removed from list

The error logic inside dvb_register_device() doesn't remove
devices from the dvb_adapter_list in case of errors.

The risk of especulation is actually almost-non-existing here,
as there are very few users of TCP/IP using the DVB stack,
as, this is mainly used with DVB-S/S2 cards, and only by people
that receives TCP/IP from satellite connections, which limits
a lot the number of users of such feature(*).

(*) In thesis, DVB-C cards could also benefit from it, but I'm
yet to see a hardware that supports it.

Yet, fixing it is trivial.

As warned by smatch:
	drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c:1392 dvb_ca_en50221_io_do_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'ca-&gt;slot_info' [r] (local cap)

There's a potential of using a CAM ioctl for speculation.

The risk here is minimum, as only a small subset of DVB
boards have CI, with a CAM module installed. Also, exploiting
it would require a user capable of starting a DVB application.

There are probably a lot of easier ways to try to exploit.

Yet, it doesn't harm addressing it.

<title>media: dmxdev: change the check for problems allocing secfeed</title>

While the logic there is right, it tricks static check analyzers,
like smatch:

	drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c:729 dvb_dmxdev_filter_start() error: we previously assumed '*secfeed' could be null (see line 719)

Because the implementation of the filter itself is made via
a callback, with its real implementation at the
dvbdmx_allocate_section_feed() inside dvb_demux.c.

So, change the check logic to make it clear that the function
will not try to use *secfeed == NULL.

dvb_media_device_free() is leaking memory. Free `dvbdev-&gt;adapter-&gt;conn`
before setting it to NULL, as documented in include/media/media-device.h:
"The media_entity instance itself must be freed explicitly by the driver
if required."

<title>media: dvb_frontend: warn if frontend driver has API issues</title>

the kAPI for a frontend can use 3 different tuning methods:

1. The hardware tracks internally frequency shifts via its
   own internal zigzag logic;
2. The hardware has a custom zigzag method, implemented via
   fe search() ops;
3. The hardware doesn't have any internal zigzag logic. So,
   the Kernel needs to implement it.

Drivers that use the in-kernel software zigzag are required to
provide some parameters for the zigzag code to work. Failing
to do that will just make the Kernel to tune several times
to the very same frequency, delaying the tuning time for
no good reason. This is actually a kAPI violation
(and an uAPI one, as the frequency shift is exported to the
uAPI).

Emit a warning on such case, as the driver needs to be fixed.
