Geyslan G. Bem 84a035f694 net/hsr: Fix possible leak in 'hsr_get_node_status()'
If 'hsr_get_node_data()' returns error, going directly to 'fail' label
doesn't free the memory pointed by 'skb_out'.

Johannes Berg 4534de8305 genetlink: make all genl_ops users const
Now that genl_ops are no longer modified in place when
registering, they can be made const. This patch was done
mostly with spatch:

@@
identifier ops;
@@
+const
 struct genl_ops ops[] = {
 ...
 };

(except the struct thing in net/openvswitch/datapath.c)

Johannes Berg 9504b3ee1c hsr: use genl_register_family_with_ops()
This simplifies the code since there's no longer a
need to have error handling in the registration.

Arvid Brodin f421436a59 net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
