<content type='text'>
Kernel sockets do not hold a reference for the network namespace to
which they point.  Socket destruction broadcasting relies on the
network namespace and will cause the splat below when a kernel socket
is destroyed.

This fix simply ignores kernel sockets when they are destroyed.

<title>switchdev; add VLAN support for port's bridge_getlink</title>

One more missing piece of the puzzle.  Add vlan dump support to switchdev
port's bridge_getlink.  iproute2 "bridge vlan show" cmd already knows how
to show the vlans installed on the bridge and the device , but (until now)
no one implemented the port vlan part of the netlink PF_BRIDGE:RTM_GETLINK
msg.  Before this patch, "bridge vlan show":

	$ bridge -c vlan show
	port    vlan ids
	sw1p1    30-34			&lt;&lt; bridge side vlans
		 57

	sw1p1				&lt;&lt; device side vlans (missing)

	sw1p2    57

	sw1p2

	sw1p3

	sw1p4

	br0     None

(When the port is bridged, the output repeats the vlan list for the vlans
on the bridge side of the port and the vlans on the device side of the
port.  The listing above show no vlans for the device side even though they
are installed).

After this patch:

	$ bridge -c vlan show
	port    vlan ids
	sw1p1    30-34			&lt;&lt; bridge side vlan
		 57

	sw1p1    30-34			&lt;&lt; device side vlans
		 57
		 3840 PVID

	sw1p2    57

	sw1p2    57
		 3840 PVID

	sw1p3    3842 PVID

	sw1p4    3843 PVID

	br0     None

I re-used ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink to add vlan fill call-back func.
switchdev support adds an obj dump for VLAN objects, using the same
call-back scheme as FDB dump.  Support included for both compressed and
un-compressed vlan dumps.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:

   - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel

   - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
     disabled at runtime.

   - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
     offset updates smarter

   - hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
     problems in sched/perf

   - Some more leap second tweaks

   - Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem

   - First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
     introducing the necessary infrastructure

   - Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()

   - The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates

  The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
  depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
  and redundant code, which got copied all over the place.  The y2038
  changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
  boot/persistant clock"

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (114 commits)
  clocksource: Increase dependencies of timer-stm32 to limit build wreckage
  timer: Minimize nohz off overhead
  timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled
  timer: Stats: Simplify the flags handling
  timer: Replace timer base by a cpu index
  timer: Use hlist for the timer wheel hash buckets
  timer: Remove FIFO "guarantee"
  timers: Sanitize catchup_timer_jiffies() usage
  hrtimer: Allow hrtimer::function() to free the timer
  seqcount: Introduce raw_write_seqcount_barrier()
  seqcount: Rename write_seqcount_barrier()
  hrtimer: Fix hrtimer_is_queued() hole
  hrtimer: Remove HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE
  selftest: Timers: Avoid signal deadlock in leap-a-day
  timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper last
  clockevents: Check state instead of mode in suspend/resume path
  selftests: timers: Add leap-second timer edge testing to leap-a-day.c
  ntp: Do leapsecond adjustment in adjtimex read path
  time: Prevent early expiry of hrtimers[CLOCK_REALTIME] at the leap second edge
  ntp: Introduce and use SECS_PER_DAY macro instead of 86400

<title>neigh: do not modify unlinked entries</title>

The lockless lookups can return entry that is unlinked.
Sometimes they get reference before last neigh_cleanup_and_release,
sometimes they do not need reference. Later, any
modification attempts may result in the following problems:

1. entry is not destroyed immediately because neigh_update
can start the timer for dead entry, eg. on change to NUD_REACHABLE
state. As result, entry lives for some time but is invisible
and out of control.

2. __neigh_event_send can run in parallel with neigh_destroy
while refcnt=0 but if timer is started and expired refcnt can
reach 0 for second time leading to second neigh_destroy and
possible crash.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet and Ying Xue for their work and analyze
on the __neigh_event_send change.

Fixes: 767e97e1e0db ("neigh: RCU conversion of struct neighbour")
Fixes: a263b3093641 ("ipv4: Make neigh lookups directly in output packet path.")
Fixes: 6fd6ce2056de ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt-&gt;n in ip6_finish_output2().")

Accessing current-&gt;pid/uid from cls_bpf may lead to misleading results and
should not be used when TC classifiers need accurate information about pid/uid.

These groups will contain socket-destruction events for
AF_INET/AF_INET6, IPPROTO_TCP/IPPROTO_UDP.

Near the end of socket destruction, a check for listeners is
performed.  In the presence of a listener, rather than completely
cleanup the socket, a unit of work will be added to a private
work queue which will first broadcast information about the socket
and then finish the cleanup operation.
