When I open the LOCKDEP config and run these steps:

modprobe 8021q
vconfig add eth2 20
vconfig add eth2.20 30
ifconfig eth2 xx.xx.xx.xx

then the Call Trace happened:

========================================================================

The reason is that all of the addr_lock_key for vlan dev have the same class,
so if we change the status for vlan dev, the vlan dev and its real dev will
hold the same class of addr_lock_key together, so the warning happened.

we should distinguish the lock depth for vlan dev and its real dev.

v1-&gt;v2: Convert the vlan_netdev_addr_lock_key to an array of eight elements, which
	could support to add 8 vlan id on a same vlan dev, I think it is enough for current
	scene, because a netdev's name is limited to IFNAMSIZ which could not hold 8 vlan id,
	and the vlan dev would not meet the same class key with its real dev.

	The new function vlan_dev_get_lockdep_subkey() will return the subkey and make the vlan
	dev could get a suitable class key.

v2-&gt;v3: According David's suggestion, I use the subclass to distinguish the lock key for vlan dev
	and its real dev, but it make no sense, because the difference for subclass in the
	lock_class_key doesn't mean that the difference class for lock_key, so I use lock_depth
	to distinguish the different depth for every vlan dev, the same depth of the vlan dev
	could have the same lock_class_key, I import the MAX_LOCK_DEPTH from the include/linux/sched.h,
	I think it is enough here, the lockdep should never exceed that value.

v3-&gt;v4: Add a huge array of locking keys will waste static kernel memory and is not a appropriate method,
	we could use _nested() variants to fix the problem, calculate the depth for every vlan dev,
	and use the depth as the subclass for addr_lock_key.

<title>ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst-&gt;output() path.</title>

<content type='text'>
In the dst-&gt;output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.

The dst-&gt;output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

Sometimes, when the packet arrives at skb_mac_gso_segment()
its skb-&gt;mac_len already accounts for some of the mac lenght
headers in the packet.  This seems to happen when forwarding
through and OpenSSL tunnel.

When we start looking for any vlan headers in skb_network_protocol()
we seem to ignore any of the already known mac headers and start
with an ETH_HLEN.  This results in an incorrect offset, dropped
TSO frames and general slowness of the connection.

We can start counting from the known skb-&gt;mac_len
and return at least that much if all mac level headers
are known and accounted for.

While reviewing seccomp code, we found that BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W has
been wrongly decoded by commit a8fc927780 ("sk-filter: Add ability to
get socket filter program (v2)") into the opcode BPF_LD|BPF_B|BPF_ABS
although it should have been decoded as BPF_LD|BPF_W|BPF_ABS.

In practice, this should not have much side-effect though, as such
conversion is/was being done through prctl(2) PR_SET_SECCOMP. Reverse
operation PR_GET_SECCOMP will only return the current seccomp mode, but
not the filter itself. Since the transition to the new BPF infrastructure,
it's also not used anymore, so we can simply remove this as it's
unreachable.

<title>filter: prevent nla extensions to peek beyond the end of the message</title>

<id>05ab8f2647e4221cbdb3856dd7d32bd5407316b3</id>
<content type='text'>
The BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR and BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extensions fail to check
for a minimal message length before testing the supplied offset to be
within the bounds of the message. This allows the subtraction of the nla
header to underflow and therefore -- as the data type is unsigned --
allowing far to big offset and length values for the search of the
netlink attribute.

The remainder calculation for the BPF_S_ANC_NLATTR_NEST extension is
also wrong. It has the minuend and subtrahend mixed up, therefore
calculates a huge length value, allowing to overrun the end of the
message while looking for the netlink attribute.

The following three BPF snippets will trigger the bugs when attached to
a UNIX datagram socket and parsing a message with length 1, 2 or 3.

Fix the first issue by ensuring the message length fulfills the minimal
size constrains of a nla header. Fix the second bug by getting the math
for the remainder calculation right.

<title>pktgen: be friendly to LLTX devices</title>

<id>0f2eea4b7e29ab693b07f6eedf8e87a0c11b8b42</id>
<content type='text'>
Similarly to commit 43279500deca ("packet: respect devices with
LLTX flag in direct xmit"), we can basically apply the very same
to pktgen. This will help testing against LLTX devices such as
dummy driver (or others), which only have a single netdevice txq
and would otherwise require locking their txq from pktgen side
while e.g. in dummy case, we would not need any locking. Fix this
by making use of HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will
be respected.

<title>net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.</title>

<id>676d23690fb62b5d51ba5d659935e9f7d9da9f8e</id>
<content type='text'>
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&amp;sk-&gt;s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk-&gt;sk_data_ready(sk, skb-&gt;len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb-&gt;len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb-&gt;len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

<title>net: core: don't account for udp header size when computing seglen</title>

In case of tcp, gso_size contains the tcpmss.

For UFO (udp fragmentation offloading) skbs, gso_size is the fragment
payload size, i.e. we must not account for udp header size.

Otherwise, when using virtio drivers, a to-be-forwarded UFO GSO packet
will be needlessly fragmented in the forward path, because we think its
individual segments are too large for the outgoing link.

Pull more networking updates from David Miller:

 1) If a VXLAN interface is created with no groups, we can crash on
    reception of packets.  Fix from Mike Rapoport.

 2) Missing includes in CPTS driver, from Alexei Starovoitov.

 3) Fix string validations in isdnloop driver, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
    and Dan Carpenter.

 4) Missing irq.h include in bnxw2x, enic, and qlcnic drivers.  From
    Josh Boyer.

 5) AF_PACKET transmit doesn't statistically count TX drops, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 6) Byte-Queue-Limit enabled drivers aren't handled properly in
    AF_PACKET transmit path, also from Daniel Borkmann.

    Same problem exists in pktgen, and Daniel fixed it there too.

 7) Fix resource leaks in driver probe error paths of new sxgbe driver,
    from Francois Romieu.

 8) Truesize of SKBs can gradually get more and more corrupted in NAPI
    packet recycling path, fix from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Fix uniprocessor netfilter build, from Florian Westphal.  In the
    longer term we should perhaps try to find a way for ARRAY_SIZE() to
    work even with zero sized array elements.

10) Fix crash in netfilter conntrack extensions due to mis-estimation of
    required extension space.  From Andrey Vagin.

11) Since we commit table rule updates before trying to copy the
    counters back to userspace (it's the last action we perform), we
    really can't signal the user copy with an error as we are beyond the
    point from which we can unwind everything.  This causes all kinds of
    use after free crashes and other mysterious behavior.

    From Thomas Graf.

12) Restore previous behvaior of div/mod by zero in BPF filter
    processing.  From Daniel Borkmann.
