Johannes Berg 4df864c1d9 networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers
It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.

A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many
instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also
had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

Aruna-Hewapathirane 63862b5bef net: replace macros net_random and net_srandom with direct calls to prandom
This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces
them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to
use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around.
This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32.

Noel Burton-Krahn 9fe34f5d92 mrp: add periodictimer to allow retries when packets get lost
MRP doesn't implement the periodictimer in 802.1Q, so it never retries
if packets get lost.  I ran into this problem when MRP sent a MVRP
JoinIn before the interface was fully up.  The JoinIn was lost, MRP
didn't retry, and MVRP registration failed.

Tested against Juniper QFabric switches

Eric Dumazet faff57a92b net/802/mrp: fix lockdep splat
commit fb745e9a03 ("net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when
calling mrp_pdu_queue()") introduced a lockdep splat.

app->lock is normally taken under softirq context, so disable BH to
avoid the splat.

David Ward fb745e9a03 net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when calling mrp_pdu_queue()
(Adapted from a very similar change to net/802/garp.c by Cong Wang.)

mrp_pdu_queue() should ways be called with the applicant spin lock.
mrp_uninit_applicant() only holds the rtnl lock which is not enough;
a race is possible because mrp_rcv() is called in BH context:

	mrp_rcv()
	  |->mrp_pdu_parse_msg()
	    |->mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr()
	      |->mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr_event()
	        |-> mrp_attr_event()
	          |-> mrp_pdu_append_vecattr_event()
	            |-> mrp_pdu_queue()
