In caif_xmit, there is a crash if the ptr dev is NULL. However, by
returning the error to the callers, the error can be handled. The
patch fixes this issue.

<title>net: caif: Fix debugfs on 64-bit platforms</title>

"ser_device.state" is "unsigned long", i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit, depending
on the platform.  Hence casting its address to "u32 *", and calling
debugfs_create_x32() breaks operation on 64-bit platforms.

Fix this by using the new debugfs_create_xul() helper instead.

<content type='text'>
When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

The skb shouled be consumed when xmit done, it makes drop profiles
(dropwatch, perf) more friendly.
dev_kfree_skb_irq()/kfree_skb() shouled be replaced by
dev_consume_skb_any(), it makes code cleaner.

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.

An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:

    @@
    identifier p, p2;
    expression len, skb, data;
    type t, t2;
    @@
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    |
    -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, len);
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, len);
    )

    @@
    type t, t2;
    identifier p, p2;
    expression skb, data;
    @@
    t *p;
    ...
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
    |
    -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
    )
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p));
    |
    -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p));
    )

    @@
    expression skb, len, data;
    @@
    -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len);
    +skb_put_data(skb, data, len);

<title>net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cf124db566e6b036b8bcbe8decbed740bdfac8c6</id>
<content type='text'>
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() or netdev-&gt;destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev-&gt;destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev-&gt;destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev-&gt;destructor().

This is because netdev-&gt;destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev-&gt;destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev-&gt;destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev-&gt;destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit()
and netdev-&gt;priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().
