      net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications. · d90a909e
      Eric W. Biederman authored 
      I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access
files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet.

The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of
register_netdevice().

When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK
events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK
events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK.  Things practically guaranteed
to confuse userspace.

After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to
be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering
unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages.

rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and
NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace
notifications.

      udp: udp_lib_get_port() fix · 5781b235
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      Now we can have a large udp hash table, udp_lib_get_port() loop
should be converted to a do {} while (cond) form,
or we dont enter it at all if hash table size is exactly 65536.
