sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

...
At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).
This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.
The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.

When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection
before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection
schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but
the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to
run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to
look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device.
Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the
connections.

If sky2 device poll routine is called from netpoll_send_skb, it would
deadlock. The netpoll_send_skb held the netif_tx_lock, and the poll
routine could acquire it to clean up skb's. Other drivers might use

The driver is correct, netpoll should not introduce more locking
problems than it causes already. So change the code to drop lock

sctp_sock_migrate() grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated socket while

This is the split out of the patch that we agreed I should split

way the to variable is. I know we talked about changing space_left to an
int, but I think size_t is more appropriate, since we should never have
negative space in our buffer, and computing using offsetof means space_left

I noted the other day while looking at a bug that was ostensibly
in some perl networking library, that we strictly avoid allowing getsockopt
operations to complete if we pass in oversized buffers. This seems to make
libraries like Perl::NET malfunction since it seems to allocate oversized
buffers for use in several operations. It also seems to be out of line with
the way udp, tcp and ip getsockopt routines handle buffer input (since the
*optlen pointer in both an input and an output and gets set to the length
of the data that we copy into the buffer). This patch brings our getsockopt
helpers into line with other protocols, and allows us to accept oversized
buffers for our getsockopt operations. Tested by me with good results.

Commit 164891aadf broke RTT
sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps
could be fed to them without providing any way for them to
identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if
FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate
timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an
invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with
TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

The recent patch that added ipv6_hwtype is broken on tuntap tunnels.
Indeed, it's broken on any device that does not pass the ipv6_hwtype
test.
The reason is that the original test only applies to autoconfiguration,
not IPv6 support. IPv6 support is allowed on any device. In fact,
even with the ipv6_hwtype patch applied you can still add IPv6 addresses
to any interface that doesn't pass thw ipv6_hwtype test provided that
they have a sufficiently large MTU. This is a serious problem because
come deregistration time these devices won't be cleaned up properly.
I've gone back and looked at the rationale for the patch. It appears
that the real problem is that we were creating IPv6 devices even if the
MTU was too small. So here's a patch which fixes that and reverts the
ipv6_hwtype stuff.
