Frank Blaschka provided the bug report and the initial suggested fix
for this bug. He also validated this version of this fix.
The problem is that the access to neigh->arp_queue is inconsistent, we
grab references when dropping the lock lock to call
neigh->ops->solicit() but this does not prevent other threads of
control from trying to send out that packet at the same time causing
corruptions because both code paths believe they have exclusive access
to the skb.
The best option seems to be to hold the write lock on neigh->lock
during the ->solicit() call. I looked at all of the ndisc_ops
implementations and this seems workable. The only case that needs
special care is the IPV4 ARP implementation of arp_solicit(). It
wants to take neigh->lock as a reader to protect the header entry in
neigh->ha during the emission of the soliciation. We can simply
remove the read lock calls to take care of that since holding the lock
as a writer at the caller providers a superset of the protection
afforded by the existing read locking.
The rest of the ->solicit() implementations don't care whether the
neigh is locked or not.

This lockdep report shows that ax25_route_lock is taken for reading in
softirq context, and for writing in process context with BHs enabled.
So, to make this safe, all write_locks in ax25_route.c are changed to
_bh versions.

...
shows that ax25_list_lock and slock-AF_AX25 are taken in different
order: ax25_info_show() takes slock (bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk)) while
ax25_list_lock is held, so reversely to other functions. To fix this
the sock lock should be moved to ax25_info_start(), and there would
be still problem with breaking ax25_list_lock (it seems this "proper"
order isn't optimal yet). But, since it's only for reading proc info
it seems this is not necessary (e.g. ax25_send_to_raw() does similar
reading without this lock too).
So, this patch removes sock lock to avoid deadlock possibility; there
is also used sock_i_ino() function, which reads sk_socket under proper
read lock. Additionally printf format of this i_ino is changed to %lu.

Various RFCs have all sorts of things to say about the CS field of the
DSCP value. In particular they try to make the distinction between
values that should be used by "user applications" and things like
routing daemons.
This seems to have influenced the CAP_NET_ADMIN check which exists for
IP_TOS socket option settings, but in fact it has an off-by-one error
so it wasn't allowing CS5 which is meant for "user applications" as
well.
Further adding to the inconsistency and brokenness here, IPV6 does not
validate the DSCP values specified for the IPV6_TCLASS socket option.
The real actual uses of these TOS values are system specific in the
final analysis, and these RFC recommendations are just that, "a
recommendation". In fact the standards very purposefully use
"SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" when describing how these values can be
used.
In the final analysis the only clean way to provide consistency here
is to remove the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. The alternatives just don't
work out:
1) If we add the CAP_NET_ADMIN check to ipv6, this can break existing
setups.
2) If we just fix the off-by-one error in the class comparison in
IPV4, certain DSCP values can be used in IPV6 but not IPV4 by
default. So people will just ask for a sysctl asking to
override that.
I checked several other freely available kernel trees and they
do not make any privilege checks in this area like we do. For
the BSD stacks, this goes back all the way to Stevens Volume 2
and beyond.

We use a percpu variable named flow_hash_info, which holds 12 bytes.
It is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned, which makes linker
skip space to properly align this variable.
Before :
c065cc90 D per_cpu__softnet_data
c065cd00 d per_cpu__flow_tables
<Here, hole of 124 bytes>
c065cd80 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info
<Here, hole of 116 bytes>
c065ce00 d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets
c065ce14 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat
This alignement is quite unproductive, and removing it reduces the
size of percpu data (by 240 bytes on my x86 machine), and improves
performance (flow_tables & flow_hash_info can share a single cache
line)
