[ upstream commit: 0e91796eb46e29edc791131c832a2232bcaed9dd ]

Am I just being particularly dim today, or can the call to
dev-&gt;change_rx_flags(dev, IFF_MULTICAST) in dev_change_flags() never
happen?

We've just set dev-&gt;flags = flags &amp; IFF_MULTICAST, effectively. So the
condition '(dev-&gt;flags ^ flags) &amp; IFF_MULTICAST' is _never_ going to be
true.

[ Upstream commit: c9c1014b2bd014c7ec037bbb6f58818162fdb265 ]

ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is
held. This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which
f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through
macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from
wireless devices.

Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates
to process context since the locking seems overly complicated,
for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to
use mutex_is_locked().

SIOCADDMULTI/SIOCDELMULTI check whether the driver has a set_multicast_list
method to determine whether it supports multicast. Drivers implementing
secondary unicast support use set_rx_mode however.

Check for both dev-&gt;set_multicast_mode and dev-&gt;set_rx_mode to determine
multicast capabilities.

<title>[NEIGH]: Fix race between pneigh deletion and ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns (v3).</title>

<id>fa86d322d89995fef1bfb5cc768b89d8c22ea0d9</id>
<content type='text'>
Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry. 

There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns() 
uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.

This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after 
the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped 
and the deleting procedure may proceed.

One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too 
big for -rc4.

So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
the flags on alive pneigh entry.


Changes from v2:
As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module. 
The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL 
does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the 
exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.

Changes from v1:
Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header
and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed
by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized
by gcc.

zap_completion_queue() retrieves skbs from completion_queue where they have
