Earlier patch 6ae459bda tried to detect void ckecksum partial
skb by comparing pull length to checksum offset. But it does
not work for all cases since checksum-offset depends on
updates to skb-&gt;data.

Following patch fixes it by validating checksum start offset
after skb-data pointer is updated. Negative value of checksum
offset start means there is no need to checksum.

dump_rules returns skb length and not error.
But when family == AF_UNSPEC, the caller of dump_rules
assumes that it returns an error. Hence, when family == AF_UNSPEC,
we continue trying to dump on -EMSGSIZE errors resulting in
incorrect dump idx carried between skbs belonging to the same dump.
This results in fib rule dump always only dumping rules that fit
into the first skb.

This patch fixes dump_rules to return error so that we exit correctly
and idx is correctly maintained between skbs that are part of the
same dump.

<title>netpoll: Close race condition between poll_one_napi and napi_disable</title>

<content type='text'>
Drivers might call napi_disable while not holding the napi instance poll_lock.
In those instances, its possible for a race condition to exist between
poll_one_napi and napi_disable.  That is to say, poll_one_napi only tests the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit to see if there is work to do during a poll, and as such
the following may happen:

CPU0				CPU1
ndo_tx_timeout			napi_poll_dev
 napi_disable			 poll_one_napi
  test_and_set_bit (ret 0)
				  test_bit (ret 1)
   reset adapter		   napi_poll_routine

If the adapter gets a tx timeout without a napi instance scheduled, its possible
for the adapter to think it has exclusive access to the hardware  (as the napi
instance is now scheduled via the napi_disable call), while the netpoll code
thinks there is simply work to do.  The result is parallel hardware access
leading to corrupt data structures in the driver, and a crash.

Additionaly, there is another, more critical race between netpoll and
napi_disable.  The disabled napi state is actually identical to the scheduled
state for a given napi instance.  The implication being that, if a napi instance
is disabled, a netconsole instance would see the napi state of the device as
having been scheduled, and poll it, likely while the driver was dong something
requiring exclusive access.  In the case above, its fairly clear that not having
the rings in a state ready to be polled will cause any number of crashes.

The fix should be pretty easy.  netpoll uses its own bit to indicate that that
the napi instance is in a state of being serviced by netpoll (NAPI_STATE_NPSVC).
We can just gate disabling on that bit as well as the sched bit.  That should
prevent netpoll from conducting a napi poll if we convert its set bit to a
test_and_set_bit operation to provide mutual exclusion

Change notes:
V2)
	Remove a trailing whtiespace
	Resubmit with proper subject prefix

V3)
	Clean up spacing nits

Instead of always emitting BPF_REG_X, let's emit BPF_REG_X only when the
source actually is BPF_X. This causes programs generated by the classic
converter to not be importable via bpf(), as the eBPF verifier checks that
the src_reg is correct or 0. While not a problem yet, this will be a
problem when BPF_PROG_DUMP lands, and we can potentially dump and re-import
programs generated by the converter.

<title>net: ipv6: use common fib_default_rule_pref</title>

<id>f53de1e9a4aaf8cbe08845da6f7ff26a078ac507</id>
<content type='text'>
This switches IPv6 policy routing to use the shared
fib_default_rule_pref() function of IPv4 and DECnet. It is also used in
multicast routing for IPv4 as well as IPv6.

The motivation for this patch is a complaint about iproute2 behaving
inconsistent between IPv4 and IPv6 when adding policy rules: Formerly,
IPv6 rules were assigned a fixed priority of 0x3FFF whereas for IPv4 the
assigned priority value was decreased with each rule added.

Since then all users of the default_pref field have been converted to
assign the generic function fib_default_rule_pref(), fib_nl_newrule()
may just use it directly instead. Therefore get rid of the function
pointer altogether and make fib_default_rule_pref() static, as it's not
used outside fib_rules.c anymore.

diag socket's sock_diag_put_filterinfo() dumps classic BPF programs
upon request to user space (ss -0 -b). However, native eBPF programs
attached to sockets (SO_ATTACH_BPF) cannot be dumped with this method:

Their orig_prog is always NULL. However, sock_diag_put_filterinfo()
unconditionally tries to access its filter length resp. wants to copy
the filter insns from there. Internal cBPF to eBPF transformations
attached to sockets don't have this issue, as orig_prog state is kept.

It's currently only used by packet sockets. If we would want to add
native eBPF support in the future, this needs to be done through
a different attribute than PACKET_DIAG_FILTER to not confuse possible
user space disassemblers that work on diag data.

diag socket's sock_diag_put_filterinfo() dumps classic BPF programs
upon request to user space (ss -0 -b). However, native eBPF programs
attached to sockets (SO_ATTACH_BPF) cannot be dumped with this method:

Their orig_prog is always NULL. However, sock_diag_put_filterinfo()
unconditionally tries to access its filter length resp. wants to copy
the filter insns from there. Internal cBPF to eBPF transformations
attached to sockets don't have this issue, as orig_prog state is kept.

It's currently only used by packet sockets. If we would want to add
native eBPF support in the future, this needs to be done through
a different attribute than PACKET_DIAG_FILTER to not confuse possible
user space disassemblers that work on diag data.
