syzbot reported an issue in ppp_async_encode() [1]

In this case, pppoe_sendmsg() is called with a zero size.
Then ppp_async_encode() is called with an empty skb.

Networking receive path is usually handled from BH handler.
However, some protocols need to acquire the socket lock, and
packets might be stored in the socket backlog is the socket was
owned by a user process.

In this case, release_sock(), __release_sock(), and sk_backlog_rcv()
might call the sk-&gt;sk_backlog_rcv() handler in process context.

sybot caught ppp was not considering this case in
ppp_channel_bridge_input() :

Networking receive path is usually handled from BH handler.
However, some protocols need to acquire the socket lock, and
packets might be stored in the socket backlog is the socket was
owned by a user process.

In this case, release_sock(), __release_sock(), and sk_backlog_rcv()
might call the sk-&gt;sk_backlog_rcv() handler in process context.

sybot caught ppp was not considering this case in
ppp_channel_bridge_input() :

NETIF_F_LLTX can't be changed via Ethtool and is not a feature,
rather an attribute, very similar to IFF_NO_QUEUE (and hot).
Free one netdev_features_t bit and make it a "hot" private flag.

<id>f2aeb7306a898e1cbd03963d376f4b6656ca2b55</id>
<content type='text'>
Since 'ppp_async_encode()' assumes valid LCP packets (with code
from 1 to 7 inclusive), add 'ppp_check_packet()' to ensure that
LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and
reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.

We want to be able to run rtnl_fill_ifinfo() under RCU protection
instead of RTNL in the future.

All rtnl_link_ops-&gt;get_link_net() methods already using dev_net()
are ready. I added READ_ONCE() annotations on others.

 - Kuan-Wei Chiu has also sped up the library sorting code in the series
   "lib/sort: Optimize the number of swaps and comparisons".

 - Alexey Gladkov has added the ability for code running within an IPC
   namespace to alter its IPC and MQ limits. The series is "Allow to
   change ipc/mq sysctls inside ipc namespace".

 - Geert Uytterhoeven has contributed some dhrystone maintenance work in
   the series "lib: dhry: miscellaneous cleanups".

 - Ryusuke Konishi continues nilfs2 maintenance work in the series

	"nilfs2: eliminate kmap and kmap_atomic calls"
	"nilfs2: fix kernel bug at submit_bh_wbc()"

 - Nathan Chancellor has updated our build tools requirements in the
   series "Bump the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum continues with the selftests maintenance work in
   the series "selftests/mm: Improve run_vmtests.sh".

 - Oleg Nesterov has done some maintenance work against the signal code
   in the series "get_signal: minor cleanups and fix".

Plus the usual shower of singleton patches in various parts of the tree.

Found with git grep 'MODULE_AUTHOR(".*([^)]*@'
Fixed with
  sed -i '/MODULE_AUTHOR(".*([^)]*@/{s/ (/ &lt;/g;s/)"/&gt;"/;s/)and/&gt; and/}' \
    $(git grep -l 'MODULE_AUTHOR(".*([^)]*@')

Also:
  in drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c normalise ", INC" to ", Inc";
     this is what every other MODULE_AUTHOR for this company says,
     and it's what the header says
  in drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c normalise a double-spaced separator;
     this is clearly copied from the copyright header,
     where the names are aligned on consecutive lines thusly:
      * Linux/SPARC PROM Configuration Driver
      * Copyright (C) 1996 Thomas K. Dyas (tdyas@noc.rutgers.edu)
      * Copyright (C) 1996 Eddie C. Dost  (ecd@skynet.be)
     but the authorship branding is single-line

<title>net: ppp: make ppp_class constant</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take
a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, so move the ppp_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.
