From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>

Normal processing of ARP request (usually this is Ethernet broadcast
packet) coming to the host is looking like the following:
* the packet comes to arp_process() call and is passed through routing
  procedure
* the request is put into the queue using pneigh_enqueue() if
  corresponding ARP record is not local (common case for container
  records on the host)
* the request is processed by timer (within 80 jiffies by default) and
  ARP reply is sent from the same arp_process() using
  NEIGH_CB(skb)->flags & LOCALLY_ENQUEUED condition (flag is set inside
  pneigh_enqueue())

And here the problem comes. Linux kernel calls pneigh_queue_purge()
which destroys the whole queue of ARP requests on ANY network interface
start/stop event through __neigh_ifdown().

This is actually not a problem within the original world as network
interface start/stop was accessible to the host 'root' only, which
could do more destructive things. But the world is changed and there
are Linux containers available. Here container 'root' has an access
to this API and could be considered as untrusted user in the hosting
(container's) world.

Thus there is an attack vector to other containers on node when
container's root will endlessly start/stop interfaces. We have observed
similar situation on a real production node when docker container was
doing such activity and thus other containers on the node become not
accessible.

The patch proposed doing very simple thing. It drops only packets from
the same namespace in the pneigh_queue_purge() where network interface
state change is detected. This is enough to prevent the problem for the
whole node preserving original semantics of the code.

v2:
	- do del_timer_sync() if queue is empty after pneigh_queue_purge()
v3:
	- rebase to net tree
