netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error.
It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to
user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we
enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the
netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed
one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever.netlink_dump() is called from two places:
1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start().
In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned
by sendmsg().2. from netlink_recvmsg
There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of
valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion.
If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the
next recvmsg will be failed.Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin

addr_type of 0 means that the type should be adopted from from_dev and

Before this patch issuing these commands:
fd = open("/proc/sys/net/ipv6/route/flush")
unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)
write(fd, "stuff")would flush the newly created net, not the original one.
The equivalent ipv4 code is correct (stores the net inside ->extra1).

DM9000 revision B needs 1 ms delay after PHY power-on.
PHY must be powered on by writing 0 into register DM9000_GPR before
all other settings will change (see Davicom spec and example code).Remember, that register DM9000_GPR was not changed by reset sequence.
Without this fix the FIFO is out of sync and sends wrong data after

Currently the bridge multicast snooping feature periodically issues
IPv6 general multicast listener queries to sense the absence of a
listener.For this, it uses :: as its source address - however RFC 2710 requires:
"To be valid, the Query message MUST come from a link-local IPv6 Source
Address". Current Linux kernel versions seem to follow this requirement
and ignore our bogus MLD queries.With this commit a link local address from the bridge interface is being
used to issue the MLD query, resulting in other Linux devices which are
multicast listeners in the network to respond with a MLD response (which
was not the case before).Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

Map the IPv6 header's destination multicast address to an ethernet
source address instead of the MLD queries multicast address.For instance for a general MLD query (multicast address in the MLD query
set to ::), this would wrongly be mapped to 33:33:00:00:00:00, although
an MLD queries destination MAC should always be 33:33:00:00:00:01 which
matches the IPv6 header's multicast destination ff02::1.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

Currently the multicast bridge snooping support is not active for
link local multicast. I assume this has been done to leave
important multicast data untouched, like IPv6 Neighborhood Discovery.In larger, bridged, local networks it could however be desirable to
optimize for instance local multicast audio/video streaming too.With the transient flag in IPv6 multicast addresses we have an easy
way to optimize such multimedia traffic without tempering with the
high priority multicast data from well-known addresses.This patch alters the multicast bridge snooping for IPv6, to take
effect for transient multicast addresses instead of non-link-local
addresses.Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing

We actually want a pointer to the grec_nsrcr and not the following
field. Otherwise we can get very high values for *nsrcs as the first two

The protocol type for IPv6 entries in the hash table for multicast

Fix a bug that undo_retrans is incorrectly decremented when undo_marker is
not set or undo_retrans is already 0. This happens when sender receives
more DSACK ACKs than packets retransmitted during the current
undo phase. This may also happen when sender receives DSACK after
the undo operation is completed or cancelled.Fix another bug that undo_retrans is incorrectly incremented when
sender retransmits an skb and tcp_skb_pcount(skb) > 1 (TSO). This case
is rare but not impossible.Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng

From: Eric W. Biederman
In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only
once in the lifetime of a network device (I think). Now we have calls
using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a
network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the
unreg_list. In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a
list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that
unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times.So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed
will fix this problem. Now to go test that.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
