80d5c3689b net: vlan: prepare for 802.1ad VLAN filtering offload
Change the rx_{add,kill}_vid callbacks to take a protocol argument in
preparation of 802.1ad support. The protocol argument used so far is
always htons(ETH_P_8021Q).

f646968f8f net: vlan: rename NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_* feature flags to NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_*
Rename the hardware VLAN acceleration features to include "CTAG" to indicate
that they only support CTAGs. Follow up patches will introduce 802.1ad
server provider tagging (STAGs) and require the distinction for hardware not
supporting acclerating both.

0e280af026 tcp: introduce TCPSpuriousRtxHostQueues SNMP counter
Host queues (Qdisc + NIC) can hold packets so long that TCP can
eventually retransmit a packet before the first transmit even left
the host.

Its not clear right now if we could avoid this in the first place :

- We could arm RTO timer not at the time we enqueue packets, but
  at the time we TX complete them (tcp_wfree())

- Cancel the sending of the new copy of the packet if prior one
  is still in queue.

This patch adds instrumentation so that we can at least see how
often this problem happens.

TCPSpuriousRtxHostQueues SNMP counter is incremented every time
we detect the fast clone is not yet freed in tcp_transmit_skb()

a29a194a15 tipc: add InfiniBand media type
Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type.

The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire
20 bytes of space reserved for media addresses, so the TIPC media type ID is
not explicitly stored in the packet payload.

Sample output of tipc-config:

Jesse Gross says:

====================
A number of improvements for net-next/3.10.

Highlights include:

 * Properly exposing linux/openvswitch.h to userspace after the uapi
   changes.

 * Simplification of locking. It immediately makes things simpler to
   reason about and avoids holding RTNL mutex for longer than
   necessary. In the near future it will also enable tunnel
   registration and more fine-grained locking.

 * Miscellaneous cleanups and simplifications.

f406c8b969 sctp: Add buffer utilization fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs
sctp: Add buffer utilization fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs

This patch adds the following fields to /proc/net/sctp/assocs output:

	- sk->sk_wmem_alloc as "wmema"	(transmit queue bytes committed)
	- sk->sk_wmem_queued as "wmemq"	(persistent queue size)
	- sk->sk_sndbuf as "sndbuf"	(size of send buffer in bytes)
	- sk->sk_rcvbuf as "rcvbuf"	(size of receive buffer in bytes)

When small DATA chunks containing 136 bytes data are sent the TX_QUEUE
(assoc->sndbuf_used) reaches a maximum of 40.9% of sk_sndbuf value when
peer.rwnd = 0. This was diagnosed from sk_wmem_alloc value reaching maximum
value of sk_sndbuf.

TX_QUEUE (assoc->sndbuf_used), sk_wmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued values are
incremented in sctp_set_owner_w() for outgoing data chunks. Having access to
the above values in /proc/net/sctp/assocs will provide a better understanding
of SCTP buffer management.

With patch applied, example output when peer.rwnd = 0

But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering

Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex
and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state.

4cd729b042 net: add dev_uc_sync_multiple() and dev_mc_sync_multiple() api
The current implementation of dev_uc_sync/unsync() assumes that there is
a strict 1-to-1 relationship between the source and destination of the sync.
In other words, once an address has been synced to a destination device, it
will not be synced to any other device through the sync API.
However, there are some virtual devices that aggreate a number of lower
devices and need to sync addresses to all of them.  The current
API falls short there.

This patch introduces a new dev_uc_sync_multiple() api that can be called
in the above circumstances and allows sync to work for every invocation.

after init it's always 1 anyway, thus always kfree called. This seems to
be an ancient leftover from the very initial implementation from 2.5

base.malloced as 0, but we nevertheless kfree it in the error path in

d6a4a10411 tcp: GSO should be TSQ friendly
I noticed that TSQ (TCP Small queues) was less effective when TSO is
turned off, and GSO is on. If BQL is not enabled, TSQ has then no
effect.

It turns out the GSO engine frees the original gso_skb at the time the
fragments are generated and queued to the NIC.

We should instead call the tcp_wfree() destructor for the last fragment,
to keep the flow control as intended in TSQ. This effectively limits
the number of queued packets on qdisc + NIC layers.

617fe29d45 net: ipv6: only invalidate previously tokenized addresses
Instead of invalidating all IPv6 addresses with global scope
when one decides to use IPv6 tokens, we should only invalidate
previous tokens and leave the rest intact until they expire
eventually (or are intact forever). For doing this less greedy
approach, we're adding a bool at the end of inet6_ifaddr structure
instead, for two reasons: i) per-inet6_ifaddr flag space is
already used up, making it wider might not be a good idea,
since ii) also we do not necessarily need to export this
information into user space.

fc403832f7 net: ipv6: also allow token to be set when device not ready
When we set the iftoken in inet6_set_iftoken(), we return -EINVAL
when the device does not have flag IF_READY. This is however not
necessary and rather an artificial usability barrier, since we
simply can set the token despite that, and in case the device is
ready, we just send out our rs, otherwise ifup et al. will do
this for us anyway.

914faa147b net: ipv6: minor: use in6addr_any in token init
Since we check for !ipv6_addr_any(&in6_dev->token) in
addrconf_prefix_rcv(), make the token initialization on
device setup more intuitive by using in6addr_any as an
initializer.

f53adae4ea net: ipv6: add tokenized interface identifier support
This patch adds support for IPv6 tokenized IIDs, that allow
for administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix from
Router Advertisements. It is currently in draft status.

  The primary target for such support is server platforms
  where addresses are usually manually configured, rather
  than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenised identifiers,
  hosts can still determine their network prefix by use of
  SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should
  their network prefix change. [...]

  The disadvantage with static addresses is that they are
  likely to require manual editing should the network prefix
  in use change.  If instead there were a method to only
  manually configure the static identifier part of the IPv6
  address, then the address could be automatically updated
  when a new prefix was introduced, as described in [RFC4192]
  for example.  In such cases a DNS server might be
  configured with such a tokenised interface identifier of
  ::53, and SLAAC would use the token in constructing the
  interface address, using the advertised prefix. [...]

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02

The implementation is partially based on top of Mark K.
Thompson's proof of concept. However, it uses the Netlink
interface for configuration resp. data retrival, so that
it can be easily extended in future. Successfully tested
by myself.

c17277f7d7 TTY: ircomm, use GFP_KERNEL in ircomm_open()
Hi Greg,

I'm unsure if you or Dave should take that one as it's for one a TTY
patch but also living under net/. So I'm uncertain and let you decide!

Thanks,
Mathias

Subject: [PATCH] TTY: ircomm, use GFP_KERNEL in ircomm_open()

We're clearly running in non-atomic context as our only call site is
able to call wait_event_interruptible(). So we're safe to use GFP_KERNEL
here instead of GFP_ATOMIC.

56aa091d60 ieee802154/nl-mac.c: make some MLME operations optional
Check for NULL before calling the following operations from "struct
ieee802154_mlme_ops": assoc_req, assoc_resp, disassoc_req, start_req,
and scan_req.

This fixes a current oops where those functions are called but not
implemented. It also updates the documentation to clarify that they
are now optional by design. If a call to an unimplemented function
is attempted, the kernel returns EOPNOTSUPP via netlink.

The following operations are still required: get_phy, get_pan_id,
get_short_addr, and get_dsn.

Note that the places where this patch changes the initialization
of "ret" should not affect the rest of the code since "ret" was
always set (again) before returning its value.

6b0ee8c036 scm: Stop passing struct cred
Now that uids and gids are completely encapsulated in kuid_t
and kgid_t we no longer need to pass struct cred which allowed
us to test both the uid and the user namespace for equality.

Passing struct cred potentially allows us to pass the entire group
list as BSD does but I don't believe the cost of cache line misses
justifies retaining code for a future potential application.
