<content type='text'>
Remove the ATM protocol modules and PCI/SBUS ATM device drivers
that are no longer in active use.

The ATM core protocol stack, PPPoATM, BR2684, and USB DSL modem
drivers (drivers/usb/atm/) are retained in-tree to maintain PPP
over ATM (PPPoA) and PPPoE-over-BR2684 support for DSL connections.
The Solos ADSL2+ PCI driver is also retained.

Removed ATM protocol modules:
 - net/atm/clip.c - Classical IP over ATM (RFC 2225)
 - net/atm/lec.c - LAN Emulation Client (LANE)
 - net/atm/mpc.c, mpoa_caches.c, mpoa_proc.c - Multi-Protocol Over ATM

Removed PCI/SBUS ATM device drivers (drivers/atm/):
 - adummy, atmtcp - software/testing ATM devices
 - eni - Efficient Networks ENI155P (OC-3, ~1995)
 - fore200e - FORE Systems 200E PCI/SBUS (OC-3, ~1999)
 - he - ForeRunner HE (OC-3/OC-12, ~2000)
 - idt77105 - IDT 77105 25 Mbps ATM PHY
 - idt77252 - IDT 77252 NICStAR II (OC-3, ~2000)
 - iphase - Interphase ATM PCI (OC-3/DS3/E3)
 - lanai - Efficient Networks Speedstream 3010
 - nicstar - IDT 77201 NICStAR (155/25 Mbps, ~1999)
 - suni - PMC S/UNI SONET PHY library

Also clean up references in:
 - net/bridge/ - remove ATM LANE hook (br_fdb_test_addr_hook,
   br_fdb_test_addr)
 - net/core/dev.c - remove br_fdb_test_addr_hook export
 - defconfig files - remove ATM driver config options

The removed code is moved to an out-of-tree module package (mod-orphan).

<id>urn:sha1:922814879542c2e397b0e9641fd36b8202a8e555</id>
<content type='text'>
A race condition exists between lec_atm_close() setting priv-&gt;lecd
to NULL and concurrent access to priv-&gt;lecd in send_to_lecd(),
lec_handle_bridge(), and lec_atm_send(). When the socket is freed
via RCU while another thread is still using it, a use-after-free
occurs in sock_def_readable() when accessing the socket's wait queue.

The root cause is that lec_atm_close() clears priv-&gt;lecd without
any synchronization, while callers dereference priv-&gt;lecd without
any protection against concurrent teardown.

Fix this by converting priv-&gt;lecd to an RCU-protected pointer:
- Mark priv-&gt;lecd as __rcu in lec.h
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() in lec_atm_close() and lecd_attach()
  for safe pointer assignment
- Use rcu_access_pointer() for NULL checks that do not dereference
  the pointer in lec_start_xmit(), lec_push(), send_to_lecd() and
  lecd_attach()
- Use rcu_read_lock/rcu_dereference/rcu_read_unlock in send_to_lecd(),
  lec_handle_bridge() and lec_atm_send() to safely access lecd
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() followed by synchronize_rcu() in
  lec_atm_close() to ensure all readers have completed before
  proceeding. This is safe since lec_atm_close() is called from
  vcc_release() which holds lock_sock(), a sleeping lock.
- Remove the manual sk_receive_queue drain from lec_atm_close()
  since vcc_destroy_socket() already drains it after lec_atm_close()
  returns.

v2: Switch from spinlock + sock_hold/put approach to RCU to properly
    fix the race. The v1 spinlock approach had two issues pointed out
    by Eric Dumazet:
    1. priv-&gt;lecd was still accessed directly after releasing the
       lock instead of using a local copy.
    2. The spinlock did not prevent packets being queued after
       lec_atm_close() drains sk_receive_queue since timer and
       workqueue paths bypass netif_stop_queue().

Note: Syzbot patch testing was attempted but the test VM terminated
    unexpectedly with "Connection to localhost closed by remote host",
    likely due to a QEMU AHCI emulation issue unrelated to this fix.
    Compile testing with "make W=1 net/atm/lec.o" passes cleanly.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<content type='text'>
Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for
an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field
are Ethernet II.

Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and
I could find to use the new constant.

Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN
should be &gt;= not &gt;.

As suggested by Jesse Gross.

Compile tested only.
