<content type='text'>
We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<content type='text'>
The network device operation for reading statistics is only called
in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure
return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could
incorrectly assume that the return value was used.

Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function.

  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

firewire-net:
- set min/max_mtu

- set max_mtu
- clean up nes_netdev_change_mtu

xpnet:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove xpnet_dev_change_mtu

hippi:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove hippi_change_mtu

batman-adv:
- set max_mtu
- remove batadv_interface_change_mtu
- initialization is a little async, not 100% certain that max_mtu is set
  in the optimal place, don't have hardware to test with

rionet:
- set min/max_mtu
- remove rionet_change_mtu

slip:
- set min/max_mtu
- streamline sl_change_mtu

um/net_kern:
- remove pointless ndo_change_mtu

hsi/clients/ssi_protocol:
- use core MTU range checking
- remove now redundant ssip_pn_set_mtu

ipoib:
- set a default max MTU value
- Note: ipoib's actual max MTU can vary, depending on if the device is in
  connected mode or not, so we'll just set the max_mtu value to the max
  possible, and let the ndo_change_mtu function continue to validate any new
  MTU change requests with checks for CM or not. Note that ipoib has no
  min_mtu set, and thus, the network core's mtu &gt; 0 check is the only lower
  bounds here.

mptlan:
- use net core MTU range checking
- remove now redundant mpt_lan_change_mtu

fddi:
- min_mtu = 21, max_mtu = 4470
- remove now redundant fddi_change_mtu (including export)

fjes:
- min_mtu = 8192, max_mtu = 65536
- The max_mtu value is actually one over IP_MAX_MTU here, but the idea is to
  get past the core net MTU range checks so fjes_change_mtu can validate a
  new MTU against what it supports (see fjes_support_mtu in fjes_hw.c)

hsr:
- min_mtu = 0 (calls ether_setup, max_mtu is 1500)

f_phonet:
- min_mtu = 6, max_mtu = 65541

u_ether:
- min_mtu = 14, max_mtu = 15412

phonet/pep-gprs:
- min_mtu = 576, max_mtu = 65530
- remove redundant gprs_set_mtu

Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots
as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will
dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799).

Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an
ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL.  Change the callers accordingly.

Compile-tested only.

<title>slip: Fix deadlock in write_wakeup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:661f7fda21b15ec52f57fcd397c03370acc28688</id>
<content type='text'>
Use schedule_work() to avoid potentially taking the spinlock in
interrupt context.

Commit cc9fa74e2a ("slip/slcan: added locking in wakeup function") added
necessary locking to the wakeup function and 367525c8c2/ddcde142be ("can:
slcan: Fix spinlock variant") converted it to spin_lock_bh() because the lock
is also taken in timers.

Disabling softirqs is not sufficient, however, as tty drivers may call
write_wakeup from interrupt context. This driver calls tty-&gt;ops-&gt;write() with
its spinlock held, which may immediately cause an interrupt on the same CPU and
subsequent spin_bug().

Simply converting to spin_lock_irq/irqsave() prevents this deadlock, but
causes lockdep to point out a possible circular locking dependency
between these locks:

(&amp;(&amp;sl-&gt;lock)-&gt;rlock){-.....}, at: slip_write_wakeup
(&amp;port_lock_key){-.....}, at: serial8250_handle_irq.part.13

The slip transmit is holding the slip spinlock when calling the tty write.
This grabs the port lock. On an interrupt, the handler grabs the port
lock and calls write_wakeup which grabs the slip lock. This could be a
problem if a serial interrupt occurs on another CPU during the slip
transmit.

To deal with these issues, don't grab the lock in the wakeup function by
deferring the writeout to a workqueue. Also hold the lock during close
when de-assigning the tty pointer to safely disarm the worker and
timers.

This bug is easily reproducible on the first transmit when slip is
used with the standard 8250 serial driver.

With commit cc9fa74e2a ("slip/slcan: added locking in wakeup function") a
formerly missing locking was added to slip.c and slcan.c by Andre Naujoks.

Alexander Stein contributed the fix 367525c8c2 ("can: slcan: Fix spinlock
variant") as the kernel lock debugging advised to use spin_lock_bh() instead
of just using spin_lock().

This fix has to be applied to the same code section in slip.c for the same
reason too.
