When doing "ifenslave -d bond0 eth0", there is chance to get NULL
dereference in netif_receive_skb(), because dev-&gt;master suddenly becomes
NULL after we tested it.

We should use ACCESS_ONCE() to avoid this (or rcu_dereference())

<title>dev: support deferring device flag change notifications</title>

Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to
perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice
notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications
until the device has been fully configured.

This changes ordering of some operations, in particular:

- netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed.
  As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when
  the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously.

- The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked
  after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged.

- net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead
  of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX
  are already shut down at this point.

In order to support specifying device flags during device creation,
we must be able to roll back device registration in case setting the
flags fails without sending any notifications related to the device
to userspace.

This patch changes rollback_registered_many() and register_netdevice()
to manually send netlink notifications for devices not handled by
rtnl_link and allows to defer notifications for devices handled by
rtnl_link until setup is complete.

In "wireless: remove WLAN_80211 and WLAN_PRE80211 from Kconfig" I
inadvertantly missed a line in include/linux/netdevice.h.  I thereby
effectively reverted "net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless." by
accident. :-(  Now we should check there for CONFIG_WLAN instead.

These netdev_printk routines take a struct net_device * and emit
dev_printk logging messages adding "%s: " ... netdev-&gt;dev.parent
to the dev_printk format and arguments.

This can create some uniformity in the output message log.

These helpers should not be used until a successful alloc_netdev.

<title>ethtool: Introduce n-tuple filter programming support</title>

This patchset enables the ethtool layer to program n-tuple
filters to an underlying device.  The idea is to allow capable
hardware to have static rules applied that can assist steering
flows into appropriate queues.

Hardware that is known to support these types of filters today
are ixgbe and niu.

<title>net: use helpers to access mc list V2</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list.
However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three
macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head
smooth in two steps:

1) convert all drivers to use these macros (with the original iterator of type
   "struct dev_mc_list")
2) once all drivers are converted, convert list type and iterators to "struct
   netdev_hw_addr" in one patch.

&gt;From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate
over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros
"netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state
which should be reached in all drivers.
