This patch creates the core cfg80211 code along with some sysfs bits.
This is a stripped down version to allow mac80211 to function, but
doesn't include any configuration yet except for creating and removing
virtual interfaces.
This patch includes the nl80211 header file but it only contains the
interface types which the cfg80211 interface for creating virtual
interfaces relies on.

pppoe_flush_dev() kicks all sockets bound to a device that is going down.
In doing so, locks must be taken in the right order consistently (sock lock,
followed by the pppoe_hash_lock). However, the scan process is based on
us holding the sock lock. So, when something is found in the scan we must
release the lock we're holding and grab the sock lock.
This patch fixes race conditions between this code and pppoe_release(),
both of which perform similar functions but would naturally prefer to grab
locks in opposing orders. Both code paths are now going after these locks
in a consistent manner.
pppoe_hash_lock protects the contents of the "pppox_sock" objects that reside
inside the hash. Thus, NULL'ing out the pppoe_dev field should be done
under the protection of this lock.

below you find a patch that fixes a memory leak when a PPPoE socket is
release()d after it has been connect()ed, but before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl
ever has been called on it.
This is somewhat of a security problem, too, since PPPoE sockets can be
created by any user, so any user can easily allocate all the machine's
RAM to non-swappable address space and thus DoS the system.
Is there any specific reason for PPPoE sockets being available to any
unprivileged process, BTW? After all, you need a packet socket for the
discovery stage anyway, so it's unlikely that any unprivileged process
will ever need to create a PPPoE socket, no? Allocating all session IDs
for a known AC is a kind of DoS, too, after all - with Juniper ERXes,
this is really easy, actually, since they don't ever assign session ids
above 8000 ...

below you find a patch that (hopefully) fixes a race between an interface
going down and a connect() to a peer on that interface. Before,
connect() would determine that an interface is up, then the interface
could go down and all entries referring to that interface in the
item_hash_table would be marked as ZOMBIEs and their references to
the device would be freed, and after that, connect() would put a new
entry into the hash table referring to the device that meanwhile is
down already - which also would cause unregister_netdevice() to wait
until the socket has been release()d.
This patch does not suffice if we are not allowed to accept connect()s
referring to a device that we already acked a NETDEV_GOING_DOWN for
(that is: all references are only guaranteed to be freed after
NETDEV_DOWN has been acknowledged, not necessarily after the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN already). And if we are allowed to, we could avoid
looking through the hash table upon NETDEV_GOING_DOWN completely and
only do that once we get the NETDEV_DOWN ...
mostrows:
pppoe_flush_dev is called on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN and NETDEV_DOWN to deal with
this "late connect" issue. Ideally one would hope to notify users at the
"NETDEV_GOING_DOWN" phase (just to pretend to be nice). However, it is the
NETDEV_DOWN scan that takes all the responsibility for ensuring nobody is
hanging around at that time.
