      ipconfig wait for carrier · 3fb72f1e

      v3 -> v4: fix return boolean false instead of 0 for ic_is_init_dev
      
      Currently the ip auto configuration has a hardcoded delay of 1 second.
      When (ethernet) link takes longer to come up (e.g. more than 3 seconds),
      nfs root may not be found.
      
      Remove the hardcoded delay, and wait for carrier on at least one network
      device.

      SCTP: fix race between sctp_bind_addr_free() and sctp_bind_addr_conflict() · c182f90b
      Jacek Luczak authored
      
      
      During the sctp_close() call, we do not use rcu primitives to
      destroy the address list attached to the endpoint.  At the same
      time, we do the removal of addresses from this list before
      attempting to remove the socket from the port hash
      
      As a result, it is possible for another process to find the socket
      in the port hash that is in the process of being closed.  It then
      proceeds to traverse the address list to find the conflict, only
      to have that address list suddenly disappear without rcu() critical
      section.
      
      Fix issue by closing address list removal inside RCU critical
      section.
      
      Race can result in a kernel crash with general protection fault or
      kernel NULL pointer dereference:

      ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes · be281e55
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because
      they use percpu storage.
      
      needed size per device is :
      (512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2
      
      On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of
      memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool.
      
      Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t)
      
      Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might
      also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.
