5c56580b74 net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregister
If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed.  Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.

f39925dbde ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.
Note that we do not generate the redirect netevent any longer,
because we don't create a new cached route.

Instead, once the new neighbour is bound to the cached route,
we emit a neigh update event instead.

2c8cec5c10 ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.
The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.

This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.

Learned PMTU information self-expires.

This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.

As a consequence:

1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
   or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
   it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.

   A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
   situations.

2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
   necessary at all.

68aa3fd551 ROSE: AX25: finding routes simplification
With previous patch, rose_get_neigh() routine
investigates the full list of neighbor nodes
until it finds or not an already connected node whether
it is called locally or through a level 3 transit frame.
If no routes are opened through an adjacent connected node
then a classical connect request is attempted.

Then there is no more reason for an extra loop such
as the one removed by this patch.

c5d8b24ad0 ROSE: rose AX25 packet routing improvement
FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE
routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations
knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes.

Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is
looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when
a connect request to a neighbor node is received.

A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at
already established routes each time the system was looking for a
route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination
address was already connected, then the frame would be sent
through him. If not, a connection request would be issued.

The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect
request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node.
Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it
was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node.

Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch
improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.

c2f7f0e7b3 batman-adv: Use successive sequence numbers for fragments
The two fragments of an unicast packet must have successive sequence numbers to
allow the receiver side to detect matching fragments and merge them again. The
current implementation doesn't provide that property because a sequence of two
atomic_inc_return may be interleaved with another sequence which also changes
the variable.

The access to the fragment sequence number pool has either to be protected by
correct locking or it has to reserve two sequence numbers in a single fetch.
The latter one can easily be done by increasing the value of the last used
sequence number by 2 in a single step. The generated window of two currently
unused sequence numbers can now be scattered across the two fragments.

6431cbc25f inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.
If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly
propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example
PMTU information and redirects.

The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would
be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of
sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc.

Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer
entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics
and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry.

If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this
information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that
cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry.

The facilities implemented here handle this problem.

First we create a generation ID.  When we create a cached route of any
kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment.  Any
time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path
information, we bump that generation ID.

The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event
is propagated.  If the global generation ID does not equal the one
stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached
to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found.  Now
that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the
route's generation ID too.

This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in
the inetpeer cache.  There is absolutely no need to consult cached
route information in order to maintain this information.

At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the
later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers.

ddd4aa424b inetpeer: Add redirect and PMTU discovery cached info.
Validity of the cached PMTU information is indicated by it's
expiration value being non-zero, just as per dst->expires.

The scheme we will use is that we will remember the pre-ICMP value
held in the metrics or route entry, and then at expiration time
we will restore that value.

In this way PMTU expiration does not kill off the cached route as is
done currently.

Redirect information is permanent, or at least until another redirect
is received.

before this commit, tun also uses group sysfs, so after this
commit checkin, kernel warns like this:

Since tun has used this for years, rename sysfs under tun might
break existing userspace, so rename group sysfs entry for net device
group is a better choice.

8d3bdbd55a net: Fix lockdep regression caused by initializing netdev queues too early.
In commit aa94210411 ("net: init ingress
queue") we moved the allocation and lock initialization of the queues
into alloc_netdev_mq() since register_netdevice() is way too late.

The problem is that dev->type is not setup until the setup()
callback is invoked by alloc_netdev_mq(), and the dev->type is
what determines the lockdep class to use for the locks in the
queues.

Fix this by doing the queue allocation after the setup() callback
runs.

This is safe because the setup() callback is not allowed to make any
state changes that need to be undone on error (memory allocations,
etc.).  It may, however, make state changes that are undone by
free_netdev() (such as netif_napi_add(), which is done by the
ipoib driver's setup routine).

The previous code also leaked a reference to the &init_net namespace
object on RX/TX queue allocation failures.

b2df5a8446 net/caif: Fix dangling list pointer in freed object on error.
rtnl_link_ops->setup(), and the "setup" callback passed to alloc_netdev*(),
cannot make state changes which need to be undone on failure.  There is
no cleanup mechanism available at this point.

So we have to add the caif private instance to the global list once we
are sure that register_netdev() has succedded in ->newlink().

Otherwise, if register_netdev() fails, the caller will invoke free_netdev()
and we will have a reference to freed up memory on the chnl_net_list.

fa9921e46f ipsec: allow to align IPv4 AH on 32 bits
The Linux IPv4 AH stack aligns the AH header on a 64 bit boundary
(like in IPv6). This is not RFC compliant (see RFC4302, Section
3.3.3.2.1), it should be aligned on 32 bits.

For most of the authentication algorithms, the ICV size is 96 bits.
The AH header alignment on 32 or 64 bits gives the same results.

However for SHA-256-128 for instance, the wrong 64 bit alignment results
in adding useless padding in IPv4 AH, which is forbidden by the RFC.

To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we use a new flag
(XFRM_STATE_ALIGN4) do change original behavior.

>0 the length of the facilities parsed.

5ef41308f9 ("x25: Prevent crashing when parsing bad X.25 facilities") introduced more
error checking in x25_parse_facilities however used 0 to indicate bad parsing
a6331d6f9a ("memory corruption in X.25 facilities parsing") followed this further for
DTE facilities, again using 0 for bad parsing.

The meaning of 0 got confused in the callers.
If the facilities are messed up we can't determine where the data starts.
So patch makes all parsing errors return -1 and ensures callers close and don't use the skb further.

continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that
is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry
when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer
on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by
the following warning.

512119b36f mac80211: fix race between next beacon dtim and ieee80211_get_buffered_bc
On review of 'zd1211rw: implement beacon fetching and handling
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]:

   Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance,
   there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the
   next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6)
   which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and
   the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*.

   The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the
   beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the
   hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic
   and of course, they might miss it completely.

   It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

1158f762e5 bridge: Don't put partly initialized fdb into hash
The fdb_create() puts a new fdb into hash with only addr set. This is
not good, since there are callers, that search the hash w/o the lock
and access all the other its fields.

Applies to current netdev tree.
