Hello David,
this pull request is intended for net.
Two of the fixes included in this patchset prevent a wrong memory access - it was triggered when removing an object from a list after it was already free'd due to bad reference counting. This misbehaviour existed for both the gw_node and the orig_node_vlan object and has been fixed by Sven Eckelmann.
The last patch fixes our interface feasibility check and prevents it from looping indefinitely when two net_device objects reference each other via iflink index (i.e. veth pair), by Andrew Lunn
Please pull or let me know of any problem! Thanks a lot, Antonio
