1338d466d9 [SOCK]: Introduce a percpu inuse counters array (v2).
And redirect sock_prot_inuse_add and _get to use one.

As far as the dereferences are concerned. Before the patch we made
1 dereference to proto->inuse.add call, the call itself and then
called the __get_cpu_var() on a static variable. After the patch we 
make a direct call, then one dereference to proto->inuse_idx and 
then the same __get_cpu_var() on a still static variable. So this 
patch doesn't seem to produce performance penalty on SMP.

This is not per-net yet, but I will deliberately make NET_NS=y case
separated from NET_NS=n one, since it'll cost us one-or-two more 
dereferences to get the struct net and the inuse counter.

13ff3d6fa4 [SOCK]: Enumerate struct proto-s to facilitate percpu inuse accounting (v2).
The inuse counters are going to become a per-cpu array.  Introduce an
index for this array on the struct proto.

To handle the case of proto register-unregister-register loop the
bitmap is used. All its bits manipulations are protected with
proto_list_lock and a sanity check for the bitmap being exhausted is
also added.

bc09dff198 [SCTP]: Remove sctp_add_cmd_sf wrapper bloat
With a was number of callsites sctp_add_cmd_sf wrapper bloats
kernel by some amount. Due to unlikely tracking allyesconfig,
with the initial result were around ~7kB (thus caught my
attention) while a non-debug config produced only ~2.3kB effect.

I (ij) proposed first a patch to uninline it but Vlad responded
with a patch that removed the only sctp_add_cmd call which is
wrapped by sctp_add_cmd_sf (I wasn't sure if I could do that).
I did minor cleanup to Vlad's patch.

50fd4407b8 [NET]: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in napi_complete().
Based upon a lockdep report.

Since ->poll() can be invoked from netpoll with interrupts
disabled, we must not unconditionally enable interrupts
in napi_complete().

Instead we must use local_irq_{save,restore}().

Noticed by Peter Zijlstra:

<irqs disabled>

  netpoll_poll()
    poll_napi()
      spin_trylock(&napi->poll_lock)
      poll_one_napi()
        napi->poll() := sky2_poll()
          napi_complete()
            local_irq_disable()
            local_irq_enable() <--- *BUG*

  <irq>
    irq_exit()
      do_softirq()
        net_rx_action()
          spin_lock(&napi->poll_lock) <--- Deadlock!

Because we still hold the lock....

920fc941a9 [ESP]: Ensure IV is in linear part of the skb to avoid BUG() due to OOB access
ESP does not account for the IV size when calling pskb_may_pull() to
ensure everything it accesses directly is within the linear part of a
potential fragment. This results in a BUG() being triggered when the
both the IPv4 and IPv6 ESP stack is fed with an skb where the first
fragment ends between the end of the esp header and the end of the IV.

less padding within the structures, making them smaller. It

ab53d8af67 iwlwifi: Add led support
This patch add LEDS support to 3965 and 4965 drivers. It is based on
led trigger and class. For our drivers we needed to avoid two things.
1- We receive led trigger on/off on each Rx\Tx frame. In our driver
    we can not call led command like that. In this driver once driver
    receive a start of traffic it call the led command to start blinking
    then we count all bytes of Tx and Rx frame, after two second we count the
    blink rate of last two second then id blink rate changed we call the led
     commands
2- Since we can call led command very often, we make sure we call the
    led command after we receive the statistics notification so
    we don't need to wake up the ucode id it is in sleep state.
    This patch was tested with 4965 and 3945.

732c8bd590 [IPSEC]: Fix BEET output
The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected.  This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.

The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.

This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all.  All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure.  Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length.  They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

Thanks to Joakim Koskela for finding this problem.

a233352506 [IPV6]: Fix potential net leak and oops in ipv6 routing code.
The commits f3db4851 ([NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - fib6_clean_all handle several 
network namespaces) and 69ddb805 ([NETNS][IPV6] route6 - Make proc entry 
/proc/net/rt6_stats per namespace) made some proc files per net.

Both of them introduced potential OOPS - get_proc_net can return NULL, but
this check is lost - and a struct net leak - in case single_open() fails the
previously got net is not put.

Kill all these bugs with one patch.

by merging it into TIPC's main polling routine, and updates

67727184f2 [VLAN]: Reduce memory consumed by vlan_groups
Currently each vlan_groupd contains 8 pointers on arrays with 512
pointers on struct net_device each  :)  Such a construction "in many
cases ... wastes memory".

My proposal is to allow for some of these arrays pointers be NULL,
meaning that there are no devices in it. When a new device is added
to the vlan_group, the appropriate array is allocated.

The check in vlan_group_get_device's is safe, since the pointer
vg->vlan_devices_arrays[x] can only switch from NULL to not-NULL.
The vlan_group_prealloc_vid() is guarded with rtnl lock and is
also safe.

I've checked (I hope that) all the places, that use these arrays
and found, that the register_vlan_dev is the only place, that can
put a vlan device on an empty vlan_group.

Rough calculations shows, that after the patch a setup with a
single vlan dev (or up to 512 vlans with sequential vids) will
occupy approximately 8 times less memory.

The question I have is - does this patch makes sense, or a totally
new structures are required to store the vlan_devs?
