In commit 19416123ab3e ("block: define 'struct bvec_iter' as packed"),
what we need is to save the 4byte padding, and avoid `bio` to spread on
one extra cache line.

It is enough to define it as '__packed __aligned(4)', as '__packed'
alone means byte aligned, and can cause compiler to generate horrible
code on architectures that don't support unaligned access in case that
bvec_iter is embedded in other structures.

Tasmiya reports that their compiler complains that we deref
a pointer to unknown type with rcu_dereference_rtnl():

include/linux/rcupdate.h:439:9: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct dpll_pin’

Unclear what compiler it is, at the moment, and we can't report
but since DPLL can't be a module - move the code from the header
into the source file.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter fixes for net

Patch #1 restores NFPROTO_INET with nft_compat, from Ignat Korchagin.

Patch #2 fixes an issue with bridge netfilter and broadcast/multicast
packets.

There is a day 0 bug in br_netfilter when used with connection tracking.

Conntrack assumes that an nf_conn structure that is not yet added to
hash table ("unconfirmed"), is only visible by the current cpu that is
processing the sk_buff.

For bridge this isn't true, sk_buff can get cloned in between, and
clones can be processed in parallel on different cpu.

This patch disables NAT and conntrack helpers for multicast packets.

Patch #3 adds a selftest to cover for the br_netfilter bug.

conntrack nf_confirm logic cannot handle cloned skbs referencing
the same nf_conn entry, which will happen for multicast (broadcast)
frames on bridges.

 Example:
    macvlan0
       |
      br0
     /  \
  ethX    ethY

 ethX (or Y) receives a L2 multicast or broadcast packet containing
 an IP packet, flow is not yet in conntrack table.

 1. skb passes through bridge and fake-ip (br_netfilter)Prerouting.
    -&gt; skb-&gt;_nfct now references a unconfirmed entry
 2. skb is broad/mcast packet. bridge now passes clones out on each bridge
    interface.
 3. skb gets passed up the stack.
 4. In macvlan case, macvlan driver retains clone(s) of the mcast skb
    and schedules a work queue to send them out on the lower devices.

    The clone skb-&gt;_nfct is not a copy, it is the same entry as the
    original skb.  The macvlan rx handler then returns RX_HANDLER_PASS.
 5. Normal conntrack hooks (in NF_INET_LOCAL_IN) confirm the orig skb.

The Macvlan broadcast worker and normal confirm path will race.

This race will not happen if step 2 already confirmed a clone. In that
case later steps perform skb_clone() with skb-&gt;_nfct already confirmed (in
hash table).  This works fine.

But such confirmation won't happen when eb/ip/nftables rules dropped the
packets before they reached the nf_confirm step in postrouting.

Pablo points out that nf_conntrack_bridge doesn't allow use of stateful
nat, so we can safely discard the nf_conn entry and let inet call
conntrack again.

This doesn't work for bridge netfilter: skb could have a nat
transformation. Also bridge nf prevents re-invocation of inet prerouting
via 'sabotage_in' hook.

Work around this problem by explicit confirmation of the entry at LOCAL_IN
time, before upper layer has a chance to clone the unconfirmed entry.

The downside is that this disables NAT and conntrack helpers.

Alternative fix would be to add locking to all code parts that deal with
unconfirmed packets, but even if that could be done in a sane way this
opens up other problems, for example:

-m physdev --physdev-out eth0 -j SNAT --snat-to 1.2.3.4
-m physdev --physdev-out eth1 -j SNAT --snat-to 1.2.3.5

For multicast case, only one of such conflicting mappings will be
created, conntrack only handles 1:1 NAT mappings.

Users should set create a setup that explicitly marks such traffic
NOTRACK (conntrack bypass) to avoid this, but we cannot auto-bypass
them, ruleset might have accept rules for untracked traffic already,
so user-visible behaviour would change.

This fixes a possible UAF in if_nlmsg_size(),
which can run without RTNL.

Add rcu protection to "struct dpll_pin"

Move netdev_dpll_pin() from netdevice.h to dpll.h to
decrease name pollution.

Note: This looks possible to no longer acquire RTNL in
netdev_dpll_pin_assign() later in net-next.

v2: do not force rcu_read_lock() in rtnl_dpll_pin_size() (Jiri Pirko)

Fixes: 5f1842692880 ("netdev: expose DPLL pin handle for netdevice")

Pull RCU pathwalk fixes from Al Viro:
 "We still have some races in filesystem methods when exposed to RCU
  pathwalk. This series is a result of code audit (the second round of
  it) and it should deal with most of that stuff.

  Still pending: ntfs3 -&gt;d_hash()/-&gt;d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate().
  Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says
  that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations
  are to be avoided. Really)"

[ More explanations for people who aren't familiar with the vagaries of
  RCU path walking: most of it is hidden from filesystems, but if a
  filesystem actively participates in the low-level path walking it
  needs to make sure the fields involved in that walk are RCU-safe.

  That "actively participate in low-level path walking" includes things
  like having its own -&gt;d_hash()/-&gt;d_compare() routines, or by having
  its own directory permission function that doesn't just use the common
  helpers.  Having a -&gt;d_revalidate() function will also have this issue.

  Note that instead of making everything RCU safe you can also choose to
  abort the RCU pathwalk if your operation cannot be done safely under
  RCU, but that obviously comes with a performance penalty. One common
  pattern is to allow the simple cases under RCU, and abort only if you
  need to do something more complicated.

  So not everything needs to be RCU-safe, and things like the inode etc
  that the VFS itself maintains obviously already are. But these fixes
  tend to be about properly RCU-delaying things like -&gt;s_fs_info that
  are maintained by the filesystem and that got potentially released too
  early.   - Linus ]

makes proc_pid_ns() safe from rcu pathwalk (put_pid_ns()
is still synchronous, but that's not a problem - it does
