tpacket_snd() can change and kfree an skb after dev_queue_xmit(),
which is illegal.

<title>packet: dont call sleeping functions while holding rcu_read_lock()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 654d1f8a019dfa06d (packet: less dev_put() calls)
introduced a problem, calling potentially sleeping functions from a
rcu_read_lock() protected section.

Fix this by releasing lock before the sock_wmalloc()/memcpy_fromiovec() calls.

After skb allocation and copy from user space, we redo device
lookup and appropriate tests.

<content type='text'>
The generic __sock_create function has a kern argument which allows the
security system to make decisions based on if a socket is being created by
the kernel or by userspace.  This patch passes that flag to the
net_proto_family specific create function, so it can do the same thing.

  avoid touching device refcount too.

tpacket_snd() &amp; packet_snd() can not use RCU yet because they can sleep when

<title>net: Fix 'Re: PACKET_TX_RING: packet size is too long'</title>

Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain
unused. This probably originates from an early version of the
PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since
removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current
code does not make any use of this extra space.

This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make
use of the full frame size.

<title>vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used</title>

We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

#define VLAN_PRIO_MASK         0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
#define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT        13
#define VLAN_CFI_MASK          0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
#define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT       VLAN_CFI_MASK
#define VLAN_VID_MASK          0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */
