The following situation was observed in the field:
tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result
tap1 can not be closed. This happens because
tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely.
As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a
copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing
ownership if we're going into a hostile device.
This patch implements the second approach.
Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs
keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a
reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog,
instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted.
At least this is not user-triggerable, and
this was not reported in practice, my assumption is
other devices besides tap complete an skb
within finite time after it has been queued.
A possible solution for the second issue
would not to have socket reference the device,
instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and
wait for all skbs to complete there, but this
needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

This is a fix for bug 572201 @ bugs.debian.org
This patch fixes the TX_LIMIT feature flag. The previous logic check
for TX_LIMIT2 also took into account a device that only had TX_LIMIT
set.

The current algorithm will sometimes "detect" that
more chains are enabled than are really present in
the device because, for unknown reasons, the ucode
sends up all-zeroes signal values.
The simplest way of solving this is to restrict the
active chains mask to the chains we know are really
present on the device.
This fixes a bug with some devices where, since sometimes
more chains are enabled than really present, the system would hang.

"len" hasn't been properly range checked so we shouldn't use it as an
array offset. This can only be written to by root but it would still be
annoying to accidentally write more than 3 characters and corrupt your
