The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs.
This also adds a note about possible interactions between
no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs
is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs
from include/linux/prctl.h.

Ocfs2 uses kiocb.*private as a flag of unsigned long size. In
commit a11f7e6 ocfs2: serialize unaligned aio, the unaligned
io flag is involved in it to serialize the unaligned aio. As
*private is not initialized in init_sync_kiocb() of do_sync_write(),
this unaligned io flag may be unexpectly set in an aligned dio.
And this will cause OCFS2_I(inode)-&gt;ip_unaligned_aio decreased
to -1 in ocfs2_dio_end_io(), thus the following unaligned dio
will hang forever at ocfs2_aiodio_wait() in ocfs2_file_aio_write().

 2) Netfilter ipset mis-compares device names, fix from Florian
    Westphal.

 3) Fix route leak in ipv6 IPVS, from Eric Dumazet.

 4) NFS fixes.  Several buffer overflows in NCI layer from Dan
    Rosenberg, and release sock OOPS'er fix from Eric Dumazet.

 5) Fix WEP handling ath9k, we started using a bit the chip provides to
    indicate undecrypted packets but that bit turns out to be unreliable
    in certain configurations.  Fix from Felix Fietkau.

 6) Fix Kconfig dependency bug in wlcore, from Randy Dunlap.

 7) New USB IDs for rtlwifi driver from Larry Finger.

 8) Fix crashes in qmi_wwan usbnet driver when disconnecting, from Bjørn
    Mork.

 9) Gianfar driver programs coalescing settings properly in single queue
    mode, but does not do so in multi-queue mode.  Fix from Claudiu
    Manoil.

10) Missing module.h include in davinci_cpdma.c, from Daniel Mack.

11) Need dummy handler for IPSET_CMD_NONE otherwise we crash in ipset if
    we get this via nfnetlink, fix from Tomasz Bursztyka.

12) Missing RCU unlock in nfnetlink error path, also from Tomasz.

13) Fix divide by zero in igbvf when the user tries to set an RX
    coalescing value of 0 usecs, from Mitch A Williams.

14) We can process SCTP sacks for the wrong transport, oops.  Fix from
    Neil Horman.

15) Remove hw IP payload checksumming from e1000e driver.  This has zery
    value in our stack, and turning it on creates a very unintuitive
    restriction for users when using jumbo MTUs.

    Specifically, when IP payload checksums are on you cannot use both
    receive hashing offload and jumbo MTU.  Fix from Bruce Allan.

<title>sctp: be more restrictive in transport selection on bundled sacks</title>

<id>4244854d22bf8f782698c5224b9191c8d2d42610</id>
<content type='text'>
It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that
we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport.  While this isn't
a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC
2960:

 An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK,
   etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it
   received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying.  This
   rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks
   together with the reply chunk.

This patch seeks to correct that.  It restricts the bundling of sack operations
to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward
since the last sack.  By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound
saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack.  This brings
us into stricter compliance with the RFC.

Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the
transport that last moved the ctsn forward.  While this makes sense, I was
concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had
received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports.  In those cases, the
RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle
the sack on.  so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state
variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the
last sack.  This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to
our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to
enable/disable it.

It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that
we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport.  While this isn't
a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC
2960:

 An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK,
   etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it
   received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying.  This
   rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks
   together with the reply chunk.

This patch seeks to correct that.  It restricts the bundling of sack operations
to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward
since the last sack.  By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound
saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack.  This brings
us into stricter compliance with the RFC.

Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the
transport that last moved the ctsn forward.  While this makes sense, I was
concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had
received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports.  In those cases, the
RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle
the sack on.  so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state
variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the
last sack.  This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to
our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to
enable/disable it.

Fix kernel-doc warning.  This struct member was removed in commit
875682648b89 ("irq: Remove irq_chip-&gt;release()") so remove its
associated kernel-doc entry also.

  Warning(include/linux/irq.h:338): Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'release' description in 'irq_chip'
