4fddbf5d78 sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device
Check link device when looking up a tunnel. When a tunnel is
linked to a interface, traffic from a different interface must not
reach the tunnel.

This also allows creating of multiple tunnels with the same
endpoints, if the link device differs.

9643f45512 ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

fd2120ca0d net: use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in nlmsg_new() allocations
nlmsg_new() adds the size of the netlink header to the value
that has been passed as parameter. If NLMSG_GOODSIZE is selected,
we request an allocation of one memory page plus the size of the
header. Instead, NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE should be used since it
already substracts the size of the Netlink header.

I have the impression that the similar naming in both constant
is error prone when using it with nlmsg_new(). This is already
documented in include/net/netlink.h

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

The earlier patch to fix the deadlock between a network device going

offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_packets)=0x54
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_bytes)=0x5c
offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_dropped)=0x6c

Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their
tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line
that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths)

We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much.
(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only)

Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct
netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and
counters updates will then be free (no increase in size)

4f0611af47 bridge: fix initial packet flood if !STP
If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which
is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all
packets for the first 20 seconds.

This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes:
  * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate
    user wants to always flood packets
  * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial
    timer tick

The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if
kernel STP is not being used.

a598f6aebe bridge: relay bridge multicast pkgs if !STP
Currently the bridge catches all STP packets; even if STP is turned
off.  This prevents other systems (which do have STP turned on)
from being able to detect loops in the network.

With this patch, if STP is off, then any packet sent to the STP
multicast group address is forwarded to all ports.

Based on earlier patch by Joakim Tjernlund with changes
to go through forwarding (not local chain), and optimization
that only last octet needs to be checked.

9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

2513dfb83f ipconfig: handle case of delayed DHCP server
If a DHCP server is delayed, it's possible for the client to receive the 
DHCPOFFER after it has already sent out a new DHCPDISCOVER message from 
a second interface.  The client then sends out a DHCPREQUEST from the 
second interface, but the server doesn't recognize the device and 
rejects the request.

This patch simply tracks the current device being configured and throws 
away the OFFER if it is not intended for the current device.  A more 
sophisticated approach would be to put the OFFER information into the 
struct ic_device rather than storing it globally.

08645126dd cfg80211: implement wext key handling
Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211
so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext
compatibility.

Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting
IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will
no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted"
for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication
algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this
setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets"
and "Accept non-encoded packets".

(Combined with "cfg80211: fix a couple of bugs with key ioctls". -- JWL)

7be69c0b9a wext: fix get_wireless_stats locking
Currently, get_wireless_stats is racy by _design_. This is
because it returns a buffer, which needs to be statically
allocated since it cannot be freed if it was allocated
dynamically. Also, SIOCGIWSTATS and /proc/net/wireless use
no common lock, and /proc/net/wireless accesses are not
synchronised against each other. This is a design flaw in
get_wireless_stats since the beginning.

This patch fixes it by wrapping /proc/net/wireless accesses
with the RTNL so they are protected against each other and
SIOCGIWSTATS. The more correct method of fixing this would
be to pass in the buffer instead of returning it and have
the caller take care of synchronisation of the buffer, but
even then most drivers probably assume that their callback
is protected by the RTNL like all other wext callbacks.

e80cf8537a cfg80211: disallow interfering with stations on non-AP
On non-AP interfaces userspace has no business interfering with
the station management, this can confuse mac80211 (and other
drivers probably wouldn't support it anyway). Allow adding and
removing stations only on AP interfaces.

cbe8fa9c5e cfg80211: put wext data into substructure
To make it more apparent in the code what is for wext
only (and needs to be #ifdef'ed) put all the info for
wext into a substruct in each wireless_dev.

413ad50a5c mac80211: properly track HT operation_mode
When we disassociate, we set the channel to non-HT which
obviously invalidates any ht_operation_mode setting. But
when we then associate with the next AP again, we might
still have the ht_operation_mode from the previous AP
cached and fail to configure the hardware with the new
(but unchanged) operation mode. This patch fixes it by
separately tracking whether our cache is valid.

9ed6bcce77 mac80211: move HT operation mode BSS info
There really is no need to have a separate struct for a
single variable. The fact that it exists is due to the
code legacy, but we can remove that now. Very simple.
