usb_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with usb_device_id provided by &lt;linux/usb.h&gt; work with
const usb_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.

An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:

<title>net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cf124db566e6b036b8bcbe8decbed740bdfac8c6</id>
<content type='text'>
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() or netdev-&gt;destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev-&gt;destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev-&gt;destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev-&gt;destructor().

This is because netdev-&gt;destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev-&gt;destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev-&gt;destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev-&gt;destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit()
and netdev-&gt;priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

sierra_net:
- max_mtu = 1500, call usbnet_change_mtu directly
- sierra_net_change_mtu checked for MTU &gt; 1500, then called
  usbnet_change_mtu, but if we set max_mtu to let the network core handle
  the range check, then we can simply call usbnet_change_mtu directly

Replace the calls to __skb_alloc_page that are passed NULL with calls to
__dev_alloc_page.

In addition remove __GFP_COLD flag from allocations as we only want it for
the Rx buffer which is taken care of by __dev_alloc_skb, not for any
secondary allocations such as the queue element transmit descriptors.

We allocate memory for 'req' with usb_alloc_urb() and then test
'if (!req || rx_submit(pnd, req, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_COLD))'.
If we enter that branch due to '!req' then there is no problem. But if
we enter the branch due to 'req' being != 0 and the 'rx_submit()' call
being false, then we'll leak the memory we allocated.
Deal with the leak by always calling 'usb_free_urb(req)' when entering
the branch. If 'req' happens to be 0 then the call is harmless, if it
is not 0 then we free the memory we allocated but don't need.

<id>urn:sha1:0614002bb5f7411e61ffa0dfe5be1f2c84df3da3</id>
<content type='text'>
The skb-&gt;pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation
of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used.  If
page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will be allocated from
the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb.
This patch propagates page-&gt;pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments
to the skb.

It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take
an skb.  If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is
automatically copied.  If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it
should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to
ensure the flag is copied properly.

Failure to do so is not critical.  The resulting driver may perform slower
if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result
in failure.
