The get_jiffies() function retrieves rtt-type values in units of
milliseconds. This patch updates the function name accordingly,
following the pattern given by dst_metric() <=> dst_metric_rtt().
The default remains at 10 for backwards compatibility.
For instance:
# ip addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 10 rounds. ***
# ip -l 20 addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 20 rounds. ***
# ip -loops 0 addr flush dev eth2
#
This is useful for getting rid of large numbers of IP
addresses in scripts.

“ip maddr show” on an infiniband address causes a stack corruption
because the length of the address for Infiniband (20 bytes, as
described in kernel doc Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.txt) does not
fit on the 16 bytes of the field in which it gets stored.
The proposed patch increases the size of the hardware address from 4
__u32 to 8 and also adds a check to avoid overriding the available
size while parsing the hardware address.
This bug affects current upstream code AFAICT.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Olivier.

This routine parses CLI attributes, describing generic link
parameters such as name, address, etc.
This is mostly copy-pasted from iplink_modify().

The problem was that length of allocation changed but caller not told.
Anyway, the patch fixes a problem resulting in a double free
that occurs when using batch files that contains a special combination
of broken up lines and comments as reported in:

Enable users of ip to specify the times for rtt, rttvar and rto_min
in human-friendly terms a la "tc" while maintaining backwards
compatability with the previous "raw" mechanism. Builds upon
David Miller's uncommited patch to set rto_min.

[GENERAL] nl_mgrp to crap if base multicast groups exceeded
The old scheme of bitmasks works only for the first 32 groups.
Above that the setsockopt scheme must be used.
