      Commit bea3348e ('[NET]: Make NAPI
      polling independent of struct net_device objects.') removed the
      automatic disabling of NAPI polling by dev_close(), and drivers
      must now do this themselves.

      bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link up · 5a430974
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      
      
      When a slave comes up, we're unsetting the current_arp_slave without
      removing active flags from it, which can lead to situations where we have
      more than one slave with active flags in active-backup mode.
      
      To avoid this situation we must remove the active flags from a slave before
      removing it as a current_arp_slave.

      phonet: Check input from user before allocating · bcf1b70a
      Sasha Levin authored
      
      
      A phonet packet is limited to USHRT_MAX bytes, this is never checked during
      tx which means that the user can specify any size he wishes, and the kernel
      will attempt to allocate that size.
      
      In the good case, it'll lead to the following warning, but it may also cause
      the kernel to kick in the OOM and kill a random task on the server.

      tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once · 35f9c09f
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      commit 2f533844 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added
      a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE.
      
      We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in
      tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends
      stall.
      
      Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but
      with different semantic.
      
      For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only
      sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different
      flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage()
