Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html
The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.
Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.
Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.
Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
to in_serving_softirq.
Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

skb_headroom() is unsigned so "skb_headroom(skb) + toff" is also
unsigned and can't be less than zero. This test was added in 66d50d25:
"u32: negative offset fix" It was supposed to fix a regression.

While reviewing commit 1c40be12f7, I
audited other users of tc_action_ops->dump for information leaks.
That commit covered almost all of them but act_police still had a leak.
opt.limit and opt.capab aren't zeroed out before the structure is
passed out.
This patch uses the C99 initializers to zero everything unused out.

We leak at least 32bits of kernel memory to user land in tc dump,
because we dont init all fields (capab ?) of the dumped structure.
Use C99 initializers so that holes and non explicit fields are zeroed.

Since there was added ->tcf_chain() method without ->bind_tcf() to

On the TX path, skb->data points to the ethernet header, not the network
header. So when validating the packet length for accessing we should
take the ethernet header into account.

This fixes hang when target device of mirred packet classifier
action is removed.
If a mirror or redirection action is configured to cause packets
to go to another device, the classifier holds a ref count, but was assuming
the adminstrator cleaned up all redirections before removing. The fix
is to add a notifier and cleanup during unregister.
The new list is implicitly protected by RTNL mutex because
it is held during filter add/delete as well as notifier.
