Roger Luethi noticed packets for unknown VLANs getting silently dropped
even in promiscuous mode.

Check for promiscuous mode in __vlan_hwaccel_rx() and vlan_gro_common()
before drops.

As suggested by Patrick, mark such packets to have skb-&gt;pkt_type set to
PACKET_OTHERHOST to make sure they are dropped by IP stack.

Retrieve the header after doing pskb_may_pull since, pskb_may_pull
could change the buffer structure.

This is based on the comment given by Eric Dumazet on Phonet
Pipe controller patch for a similar problem.

The GRE tunnel driver needs to invoke icmpv6 helpers in the
ipv6 stack when ipv6 support is enabled.

Therefore if IPV6 is enabled, we have to enforce that GRE's
enabling (modular or static) matches that of ipv6.

Fixes kernel Bugzilla Bug 18952

This patch adds a syn_set parameter to the retransmits_timed_out()
routine and updates its callers. If not set, TCP_RTO_MIN is taken
as the calculation basis as before. If set, TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT is
used instead, so that sysctl_syn_retries represents the actual
amount of SYN retransmissions in case no SYNACKs are received when
establishing a new connection.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603

tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.

There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works.  It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.

However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines).  So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written.  So fix it to use 'long'.

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters
against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till
the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels
with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested
foonot and may mount foo when he requested foobar.

Thus it is necessary to check both string lengths against each other in
case of a successful partial string match.
