The CAN_RAW socket can set multiple CAN identifier specific filters that lead
to multiple filters in the af_can.c filter processing. These filters are
indenpendent from each other which leads to logical OR'ed filters when applied.
This socket option joines the given CAN filters in the way that only CAN frames
are passed to user space that matched *all* given CAN filters. The semantic for
the applied filters is therefore changed to a logical AND.
This is useful especially when the filterset is a combination of filters where
the CAN_INV_FILTER flag is set in order to notch single CAN IDs or CAN ID
ranges from the incoming traffic.
As the raw_rcv() function is executed from NET_RX softirq the introduced
variables are implemented as per-CPU variables to avoid extensive locking at
CAN frame reception time.

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by
userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc)
is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices
to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The
former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be
able to reliably tell the difference.

If a peer or some local agent (rate control, ...) decides to start
an aggregation session but doesn't support HT (which also implies
QoS), reject it.
This is mostly a corner case as such peers normally won't try to
use block-ack sessions and rate control wouldn't start them, but
technically QoS stations could request it according to the spec.
However, since drivers don't really support such non-HT sessions
it's better to reject them.
Also, while at it, move the tracing for TX sessions earlier so it
captures the error cases as well.

The rate control locking caused a potential deadlock here due to the

be applied. However, there's no fundamental reason for this code to
hold the sta->lock while transmitting frames.

A message sent to a node after a successful name table lookup may still
find that the destination socket has disappeared, because distribution
of name table updates is non-atomic. If so, the message will be rejected
back to the sender with error code TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT. If the source
socket of the message has disappeared in the meantime, the message
should be dropped.
However, in the currrent code, the message will instead be subject to an
unwanted tertiary lookup, because the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest()
doesn't check if there is an error code present in the message before
performing the lookup. In the worst case, the message may now find the
old destination again, and be redirected once more, instead of being
dropped directly as it should be.
A second bug in this function is that the "prev_node" field in the message
is not updated after successful lookup, something that may have
unpredictable consequences.
The problems arising from those bugs occur very infrequently.
The third change in this function; the test on msg_reroute_msg_cnt() is
purely cosmetic, reflecting that the returned value never can be negative.
This commit corrects the two bugs described above.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree.
Basically, nf_tables updates to add the set extension infrastructure and finish
the transaction for sets from Patrick McHardy. More specifically, they are:
1) Move netns to basechain and use recently added possible_net_t, from
Patrick McHardy.
2) Use LOGLEVEL_<FOO> from nf_log infrastructure, from Joe Perches.
3) Restore nf_log_trace that was accidentally removed during conflict
resolution.
4) nft_queue does not depend on NETFILTER_XTABLES, starting from here
all patches from Patrick McHardy.
5) Use raw_smp_processor_id() in nft_meta.
Then, several patches to prepare ground for the new set extension
infrastructure:
6) Pass object length to the hash callback in rhashtable as needed by
the new set extension infrastructure.
7) Cleanup patch to restore struct nft_hash as wrapper for struct
rhashtable
8) Another small source code readability cleanup for nft_hash.
9) Convert nft_hash to rhashtable callbacks.
And finally...
10) Add the new set extension infrastructure.
11) Convert the nft_hash and nft_rbtree sets to use it.
12) Batch set element release to avoid several RCU grace period in a row
and add new function nft_set_elem_destroy() to consolidate set element
release.
13) Return the set extension data area from nft_lookup.
14) Refactor existing transaction code to add some helper functions
and document it.
15) Complete the set transaction support, using similar approach to what we
already use, to activate/deactivate elements in an atomic fashion.

TIPC node hash node table is protected with rcu lock on read side.
tipc_node_find() is used to look for a node object with node address
through iterating the hash node table. As the entire process of what
tipc_node_find() traverses the table is guarded with rcu read lock,
it's safe for us. However, when callers use the node object returned
by tipc_node_find(), there is no rcu read lock applied. Therefore,
this is absolutely unsafe for callers of tipc_node_find().
Now we introduce a reference counter for node structure. Before
tipc_node_find() returns node object to its caller, it first increases
the reference counter. Accordingly, after its caller used it up,
it decreases the counter again. This can prevent a node being used by
one thread from being freed by another thread.
