<id>ec764bf083a6ff396234351b51fd236f53c903bf</id>
<content type='text'>
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb-&gt;len and
skb-&gt;dev-&gt;name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden
5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes)

Ingo Molnar noticed that we have this unnecessary ratelimit.h
dependency in linux/net.h, which hid compilation problems from
people doing builds only with CONFIG_NET enabled.

Move this stuff out to a seperate net/net_ratelimit.h file and
include that in the only two places where this thing is needed.

As reported by Ingo Molnar, we still have configuration combinations
where use of the WARN_RATELIMIT interfaces break the build because
dependencies don't get met.

Instead of going down the long road of trying to make it so that
ratelimit.h can get included by kernel.h or asm-generic/bug.h,
just move the interface into ratelimit.h and make users have
to include that.

Current code squashes flags to bool - this makes set_flags fail whenever
some ETH_FLAG_* equivalent features are set. Fix this.

<content type='text'>
Commit e67f88dd12f6 (dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks)
missed fact that rtnl_fill_ifinfo() must be called with rtnl held.

Because of possible deadlocks between two mutexes (cb_mutex and rtnl),
its not easy to solve this problem, so revert this part of the patch.

It also forgot one rcu_read_unlock() in FIB dump_rules()

Add one ASSERT_RTNL() in rtnl_fill_ifinfo() to remind us the rule.
