94dcf29a11 kthread: use kthread_create_on_node()
ksoftirqd, kworker, migration, and pktgend kthreads can be created with
kthread_create_on_node(), to get proper NUMA affinities for their stack and
task_struct.

05aebe2e5d pktgen: bug fix in transmission headers with frags=0
(bug introduced by commit 26ad787962
(pktgen: speedup fragmented skbs)

The headers of pktgen were incorrectly added in a pktgen packet
without frags (frags=0). There was an offset in the pktgen headers.

The cause was in reusing the pgh variable as a return variable in skb_put
when adding the payload to the skb.

8909c9ad8f net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules
Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

f87e6f4793 net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD
Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).

Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)

This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

69a19ee60d net: RPS: Make hardware-accelerated RFS conditional on NETIF_F_NTUPLE
For testing and debugging purposes it is useful to be able to disable
hardware acceleration of RFS without disabling RFS altogether.  Since
this is a similar feature to 'n-tuple' flow steering through the
ethtool API, test the same feature flag that controls that.

5c56580b74 net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregister
If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed.  Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

fbaec0ea54 rtnetlink: implement setting of master device
This patch allows userspace to enslave/release slave devices via netlink
interface using IFLA_MASTER. This introduces generic way to add/remove
underling devices.

1765a57533 net: make dev->master general
dev->master is now tightly connected to bonding driver. This patch makes
this pointer more general and ready to be used by others.

 - netdev_set_master() - bond specifics moved to new function
   netdev_set_bond_master()
 - introduced netif_is_bond_slave() to check if device is a bonding slave

b6644cb706 net: rename group sysfs entry to netdev_group
commit a512b92 adds sysfs entry for net device group, but
before this commit, tun also uses group sysfs, so after this
commit checkin, kernel warns like this:
    sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/net/vnet0/group'

Since tun has used this for years, rename sysfs under tun might
break existing userspace, so rename group sysfs entry for net device
group is a better choice.

8d3bdbd55a net: Fix lockdep regression caused by initializing netdev queues too early.
In commit aa94210411 ("net: init ingress
queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues
into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late.

The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup()
callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is
what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the
queues.

Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback
runs.

This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any
state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations,
etc.).  It may, however, make state changes that are undone by
free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the
ipoib driver's setup routine).

The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace
object on RX/TX queue allocation failures.
