...
The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.
The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.

Add a XFRM_STATE_AF_UNSPEC flag to handle the AF_UNSPEC behavior for
the selector family. Userspace applications can set this flag to leave
the selector family of the xfrm_state unspecified. This can be used
to to handle inter family tunnels if the selector is not set from
userspace.

In commit a07f5f508a "[IPV4] fib_trie: style
cleanup", the changes to check_leaf() and fn_trie_lookup() were wrong - where
fn_trie_lookup() would previously return a negative error value from
check_leaf(), it now returns 0.
Now fn_trie_lookup() doesn't appear to care about plen, so we can revert
check_leaf() to returning the error value.

and analyzed it:
"The register %ecx looks innocent but is very important here. The disassembly:
mov %edx,%ecx
shr $0x2,%ecx
rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault
So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
(0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)
%ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:
memset(object, 0, c->objsize);
i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...
c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());
This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
has been freed?"
Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...

Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called
to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the
hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with
CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and
without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu
function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the
rcu CPU map.
With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely
oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in
free-before-grace bugs.
Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to
__cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).
