reqsk_queue_destroy() and reqsk_queue_unlink() should use
del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() before calling reqsk_put(),
otherwise we could free a req still used by another cpu.

But before doing so, reqsk_queue_destroy() must release syn_wait_lock
spinlock or risk a dead lock, as reqsk_timer_handler() might
need to take this same spinlock from reqsk_queue_unlink() (called from
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop())

<title>net: pktgen: don't abuse current-&gt;state in pktgen_thread_worker()</title>

Commit 1fbe4b46caca "net: pktgen: kill the Wait for kthread_stop
code in pktgen_thread_worker()" removed (in particular) the final
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) and I didn't notice the previous
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE). This triggers the warning
in __might_sleep() after return.

Afaics, we can simply remove both set_current_state()'s, and we
could do this a long ago right after ef87979c273a2 "pktgen: better
scheduler friendliness" which changed pktgen_thread_worker() to
use wait_event_interruptible_timeout().

<title>net: Fix skb_set_peeked use-after-free bug</title>

<content type='text'>
The commit 738ac1ebb96d02e0d23bc320302a6ea94c612dec ("net: Clone
skb before setting peeked flag") introduced a use-after-free bug
in skb_recv_datagram.  This is because skb_set_peeked may create
a new skb and free the existing one.  As it stands the caller will
continue to use the old freed skb.

This patch fixes it by making skb_set_peeked return the new skb
(or the old one if unchanged).

<title>net: sk_clone_lock() should only do get_net() if the parent is not a kernel socket</title>

<content type='text'>
The newsk returned by sk_clone_lock should hold a get_net()
reference if, and only if, the parent is not a kernel socket
(making this similar to sk_alloc()).

E.g,. for the SYN_RECV path, tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock-&gt;..inet_csk_clone_lock
sets up the syn_recv newsk from sk_clone_lock. When the parent (listen)
socket is a kernel socket (defined in sk_alloc() as having
sk_net_refcnt == 0), then the newsk should also have a 0 sk_net_refcnt
and should not hold a get_net() reference.

      netns of kernel sockets.")

<title>tcp: fix recv with flags MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK</title>

<id>dfbafc995304ebb9a9b03f65083e6e9cea143b20</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, tcp_recvmsg enters a busy loop in sk_wait_data if called
with flags = MSG_WAITALL | MSG_PEEK.

sk_wait_data waits for sk_receive_queue not empty, but in this case,
the receive queue is not empty, but does not contain any skb that we
can use.

Add a "last skb seen on receive queue" argument to sk_wait_data, so
that it sleeps until the receive queue has new skbs.

Kernel generates a lot of warnings when dst entry reference counter
overflows and becomes negative. That bug was seen several times at
machines with outdated 3.10.y kernels. Most like it's already fixed
in upstream. Anyway that flood completely kills machine and makes
further debugging impossible.

<title>net: Fix skb csum races when peeking</title>

When we calculate the checksum on the recv path, we store the
result in the skb as an optimisation in case we need the checksum
again down the line.

This is in fact bogus for the MSG_PEEK case as this is done without
any locking.  So multiple threads can peek and then store the result
to the same skb, potentially resulting in bogus skb states.

This patch fixes this by only storing the result if the skb is not
shared.  This preserves the optimisations for the few cases where
it can be done safely due to locking or other reasons, e.g., SIOCINQ.

<title>net: Clone skb before setting peeked flag</title>

Shared skbs must not be modified and this is crucial for broadcast
and/or multicast paths where we use it as an optimisation to avoid
unnecessary cloning.

The function skb_recv_datagram breaks this rule by setting peeked
without cloning the skb first.  This causes funky races which leads
to double-free.

This patch fixes this by cloning the skb and replacing the skb
in the list when setting skb-&gt;peeked.

<title>rtnetlink: reject non-IFLA_VF_PORT attributes inside IFLA_VF_PORTS</title>

Similarly as in commit 4f7d2cdfdde7 ("rtnetlink: verify IFLA_VF_INFO
attributes before passing them to driver"), we have a double nesting
of netlink attributes, i.e. IFLA_VF_PORTS only contains IFLA_VF_PORT
that is nested itself. While IFLA_VF_PORTS is a verified attribute
from ifla_policy[], we only check if the IFLA_VF_PORTS container has
IFLA_VF_PORT attributes and then pass the attribute's content itself
via nla_parse_nested(). It would be more correct to reject inner types
other than IFLA_VF_PORT instead of continuing parsing and also similarly
as in commit 4f7d2cdfdde7, to check for a minimum of NLA_HDRLEN.
