The current implementation of cfg80211_rx_control_port assumed that the
caller could provide a contiguous region of memory for the control port
frame to be sent up to userspace. Unfortunately, many drivers produce
non-linear skbs, especially for data frames. This resulted in userspace
getting notified of control port frames with correct metadata (from
address, port, etc) yet garbage / nonsense contents, resulting in bad
handshakes, disconnections, etc.
mac80211 linearizes skbs containing management frames. But it didn't
seem worthwhile to do this for control port frames. Thus the signature
of cfg80211_rx_control_port was changed to take the skb directly.
nl80211 then takes care of obtaining control port frame data directly
from the (linear | non-linear) skb.
The caller is still responsible for freeing the skb,
cfg80211_rx_control_port does not take ownership of it.

After decompression of 6lowpan socket data, an IPv6 header is inserted
before the existing socket payload. After this, we reset the
network_header value of the skb to account for the difference in payload
size from prior to decompression + the addition of the IPv6 header.
However, we fail to reset the mac_header value.
Leaving the mac_header value untouched here, can cause a calculation
error in net/packet/af_packet.c packet_rcv() function when an
AF_PACKET socket is opened in SOCK_RAW mode for use on a 6lowpan
interface.
On line 2088, the data pointer is moved backward by the value returned
from skb_mac_header(). If skb->data is adjusted so that it is before
the skb->head pointer (which can happen when an old value of mac_header
is left in place) the kernel generates a panic in net/core/skbuff.c
line 1717.
This panic can be generated by BLE 6lowpan interfaces (such as bt0) and
802.15.4 interfaces (such as lowpan0) as they both use the same 6lowpan
sources for compression and decompression.

The low and high values of the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl were
being silently forced to the default disabled state when a write to the
sysctl contained GIDs that didn't map to the associated user namespace.
Confusingly, the sysctl's write operation would return success and then
a subsequent read of the sysctl would indicate that the low and high
values are the overflowgid.
This patch changes the behavior by clearly returning an error when the
sysctl write operation receives a GID range that doesn't map to the
associated user namespace. In such a situation, the previous value of
the sysctl is preserved and that range will be returned in a subsequent
read of the sysctl.

While not present in the backtrace, ipv6_renew_option() ends up calling
access_ok() via the following chain:
access_ok()
_copy_from_user()
copy_from_user()
ipv6_renew_option()
The fix presented in this patch is to perform the userspace copy
earlier in the call chain such that it is only called when the option
data is actually coming from userspace; that place is
do_ipv6_setsockopt(). Not only does this solve the problem seen in
the backtrace above, it also allows us to simplify the code quite a
bit by removing ipv6_renew_options_kern() completely. We also take
this opportunity to cleanup ipv6_renew_options()/ipv6_renew_option()
a small amount as well.
This patch is heavily based on a rough patch by Al Viro. I've taken
his original patch, converted a kmemdup() call in do_ipv6_setsockopt()
to a memdup_user() call, made better use of the e_inval jump target in
the same function, and cleaned up the use ipv6_renew_option() by
ipv6_renew_options().

Use the socket error queue for reporting dropped packets if the
socket has enabled that feature through the SO_TXTIME API.
Packets are dropped either on enqueue() if they aren't accepted by the
qdisc or on dequeue() if the system misses their deadline. Those are
reported as different errors so applications can react accordingly.
Userspace can retrieve the errors through the socket error queue and the
corresponding cmsg interfaces. A struct sock_extended_err* is used for
returning the error data, and the packet's timestamp can be retrieved by
adding both ee_data and ee_info fields as e.g.:
((__u64) serr->ee_data << 32) + serr->ee_info
This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by
applications. Enabling it can bring some overhead for the Tx cycles
of the application.

Add infra so etf qdisc supports HW offload of time-based transmission.
For hw offload, the time sorted list is still used, so packets are
dequeued always in order of txtime.
Example:
$ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0
$ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf offload delta 100000 \
clockid CLOCK_REALTIME
In this example, the Qdisc will use HW offload for the control of the
transmission time through the network adapter. The hrtimer used for
packets scheduling inside the qdisc will use the clockid CLOCK_REALTIME
as reference and packets leave the Qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds
before their transmission time. Because this will be using HW offload and
since dynamic clocks are not supported by the hrtimer, the system clock
and the PHC clock must be synchronized for this mode to behave as
expected.

The ETF (Earliest TxTime First) qdisc uses the information added
earlier in this series (the socket option SO_TXTIME and the new
role of sk_buff->tstamp) to schedule packets transmission based
on absolute time.
For some workloads, just bandwidth enforcement is not enough, and
precise control of the transmission of packets is necessary.
Example:
$ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0
$ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf delta 100000 \
clockid CLOCK_TAI
In this example, the Qdisc will provide SW best-effort for the control
of the transmission time to the network adapter, the time stamp in the
socket will be in reference to the clockid CLOCK_TAI and packets
will leave the qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds before its transmission
time.
The ETF qdisc will buffer packets sorted by their txtime. It will drop
packets on enqueue() if their skbuff clockid does not match the clock
reference of the Qdisc. Moreover, on dequeue(), a packet will be dropped
if it expires while being enqueued.
The qdisc also supports the SO_TXTIME deadline mode. For this mode, it
will dequeue a packet as soon as possible and change the skb timestamp
to 'now' during etf_dequeue().
Note that both the qdisc's and the SO_TXTIME ABIs allow for a clockid
to be configured, but it's been decided that usage of CLOCK_TAI should
be enforced until we decide to allow for other clockids to be used.
The rationale here is that PTP times are usually in the TAI scale, thus
no other clocks should be necessary. For now, the qdisc will return
EINVAL if any clocks other than CLOCK_TAI are used.

The gen_stats facility will add a header for the toplevel nlattr of type
TCA_STATS2 that contains all stats added by qdisc callbacks. A reference
to this header is stored in the gnet_dump struct, and when all the
per-qdisc callbacks have finished adding their stats, the length of the
containing header will be adjusted to the right value.
However, on architectures that need padding (i.e., that don't set
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS), the padding nlattr is added
before the stats, which means that the stored pointer will point to the
padding, and so when the header is fixed up, the result is just a very
big padding nlattr. Because most qdiscs also supply the legacy TCA_STATS
struct, this problem has been mostly invisible, but we exposed it with
the netlink attribute-based statistics in CAKE.
Fix the issue by fixing up the stored pointer if it points to a padding
nlattr.

ip_rcv_finish_core(), if it does not drop, sets skb->dst by either early
demux or route lookup. The last step, calling dst_input(skb), is left to
the caller; in the listified case, we split to form sublists with a common
dst, but then ip_sublist_rcv_finish() just calls dst_input(skb) in a loop.
The next step in listification would thus be to add a list_input() method
to struct dst_entry.
Early demux is an indirect call based on iph->protocol; this is another
opportunity for listification which is not taken here (it would require
slicing up ip_rcv_finish_core() to allow splitting on protocol changes).

Also involved adding a way to run a netfilter hook over a list of packets.
Rather than attempting to make netfilter know about lists (which would be
a major project in itself) we just let it call the regular okfn (in this
case ip_rcv_finish()) for any packets it steals, and have it give us back
a list of packets it's synchronously accepted (which normally NF_HOOK
would automatically call okfn() on, but we want to be able to potentially
pass the list to a listified version of okfn().)
The netfilter hooks themselves are indirect calls that still happen per-
packet (see nf_hook_entry_hookfn()), but again, changing that can be left
for future work.
There is potential for out-of-order receives if the netfilter hook ends up
synchronously stealing packets, as they will be processed before any
accepts earlier in the list. However, it was already possible for an
asynchronous accept to cause out-of-order receives, so presumably this is
considered OK.

__netif_receive_skb_core() does a depressingly large amount of per-packet
work that can't easily be listified, because the another_round looping
makes it nontrivial to slice up into smaller functions.
Fortunately, most of that work disappears in the fast path:
* Hardware devices generally don't have an rx_handler
* Unless you're tcpdumping or something, there is usually only one ptype
* VLAN processing comes before the protocol ptype lookup, so doesn't force
a pt_prev deliver
so normally, __netif_receive_skb_core() will run straight through and pass
back the one ptype found in ptype_base[hash of skb->protocol].

First example of a layer splitting the list (rather than merely taking
individual packets off it).
Involves new list.h function, list_cut_before(), like list_cut_position()
but cuts on the other side of the given entry.

netif_receive_skb_list_internal() now processes a list and hands it
on to the next function.
