f7faffa3ff l2tp: Add L2TPv3 protocol support
The L2TPv3 protocol changes the layout of the L2TP packet
header. Tunnel and session ids change from 16-bit to 32-bit values,
data sequence numbers change from 16-bit to 24-bit values and PPP-specific
fields are moved into protocol-specific subheaders.

Although this patch introduces L2TPv3 protocol support, there are no
userspace interfaces to create L2TPv3 sessions yet.

fd558d186d l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts
This patch splits the pppol2tp driver into separate L2TP and PPP parts
to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can
be carried, so this split creates a common L2TP core that will handle
the common L2TP bits which protocol support modules such as PPP will
use.

Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and
l2tp_ppp by this change.

There are no feature changes here. Internally, however, there are
significant changes, mostly to handle the separation of PPP-specific
data from the L2TP session and to provide hooks in the core for
modules like PPP to access.

21b4aaa143 l2tp: Relocate pppol2tp driver to new net/l2tp directory
This patch moves the existing pppol2tp driver from drivers/net into a
new net/l2tp directory, which is where the upcoming L2TPv3 code will
live. The existing CONFIG_PPPOL2TP config option is left in its
current place to avoid "make oldconfig" issues when an existing
pppol2tp user takes this change. (This is the same approach used for
the pppoatm driver, which moved to net/atm.)

There are no code changes. The existing drivers/net/pppol2tp.c is
simply moved to net/l2tp.

5acbbd428d net: change illegal_highdma to use dma_mask
Robert Hancock pointed out two problems about NETIF_F_HIGHDMA:

-Many drivers only set the flag when they detect they can use 64-bit DMA,
since otherwise they could receive DMA addresses that they can't handle
(which on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB support is fatal). This means that if
64-bit support isn't available, even buffers located below 4GB will get copied
unnecessarily.

-Some drivers set the flag even though they can't actually handle 64-bit DMA,
which would mean that on platforms without IOMMU/SWIOTLB they would get a DMA
mapping error if the memory they received happened to be located above 4GB.

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/3/530

We can use the dma_mask if we need bouncing or not here. Then we can
safely fix drivers that misuse NETIF_F_HIGHDMA.

ea2dea9dac xfrm: remove policy lock when accessing policy->walk.dead
All of the code considers ->dead as a hint that the cached policy
needs to get refreshed. The read side can just drop the read lock
without any side effects.

The write side needs to make sure that it's written only exactly
once. Only possible race is at xfrm_policy_kill(). This is fixed
by checking result of __xfrm_policy_unlink() when needed. It will
always succeed if the policy object is looked up from the hash
list (so some checks are removed), but it needs to be checked if
we are trying to unlink policy via a reference (appropriate
checks added).

Since policy->walk.dead is written exactly once, it no longer
needs to be protected with a write lock.

5d944c640b gen_estimator: deadlock fix
One of my test machine got a deadlock during "tc" sessions,
adding/deleting classes & filters, using traffic estimators.

After some analysis, I believe we have a potential use after free case
in est_timer() :

spin_lock(e->stats_lock); << HERE >>
read_lock(&est_lock);
if (e->bstats == NULL)   << TEST >>
	goto skip;

Test is done a bit late, because after estimator is killed, and before
rcu grace period elapsed, we might already have freed/reuse memory where
e->stats_locks points to (some qdisc->q.lock)

A possible fix is to respect a rcu grace period at Qdisc dismantle time.

On 64bit, sizeof(struct Qdisc) is exactly 192 bytes. Adding 16 bytes to
it (for struct rcu_head) is a problem because it might change
performance, given QDISC_ALIGNTO is 32 bytes.

This is why I also change QDISC_ALIGNTO to 64 bytes, to satisfy most
current alignment requirements.

02cdce53f3 ipv6 fib: Use "Sweezle" to optimize addr_bit_test().
addr_bit_test() is used in various places in IPv6 routing table
subsystem.  It checks if the given fn_bit is set,
where fn_bit counts bits from MSB in words in network-order.

 fn_bit        :   0 .... 31 32 .... 64 65 .... 95 96 ....127

fn_bit >> 5 gives offset of word, and (~fn_bit & 0x1f) gives
count from LSB in the network-endian word in question.

 fn_bit >> 5   :       0          1          2          3
 ~fn_bit & 0x1f:  31 ....  0 31 ....  0 31 ....  0 31 ....  0

Thus, the mask was generated as htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)).
This can be optimized by "sweezle" (See include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h).

In little-endian,
  htonl(1 << bit) = 1 << (bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE)
where
  BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is (0x1f & ~7)
So,
  htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)) = 1 << ((~fn_bit & 0x1f) ^ (0x1f & ~7))
                               = 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ ~7) & 0x1f)
                               = 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)

In big-endian, BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is equal to 0.
  1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
                               = 1 << ((~fn_bit) & 0x1f)
                               = htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f))

a97c13c345 mac80211: Add support for connection quality monitoring
Add support for the set_cqm_config op. This op function configures the
requested connection quality monitor rssi threshold and rssi hysteresis
values to the hardware  if the hardware supports
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CQM.

For unsupported hardware, currently -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, so the mac80211
is currently not doing connection quality monitoring on the host. This could be
added later, if needed.

d6dc1a3863 cfg80211: Add connection quality monitoring support to nl80211
Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the
nl80211 interface, and basic support for notifying about triggered monitoring
events.

Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive
pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start
preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost.

An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in
an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it
before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad
or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity.

The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended
to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that
arises.

e51d739ab7 net: Fix locking in flush_backlog
Need to take spinlocks when dequeuing from input_pkt_queue in flush_backlog.
Also, flush_backlog can now be called directly from netdev_run_todo.

1e4dcd0124 mac80211: Add support for connection monitor in hardware
This patch is based on a RFC patch by Kalle Valo.

The wl1271 has a feature which handles the connection monitor logic
in hardware, basically sending periodically nullfunc frames and reporting
to the host if AP is lost, after attempting to recover by sending
probe-requests to the AP.

Add support to mac80211 by adding a new flag IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR
which prevents conn_mon_timer from triggering during idle periods, and
prevents sending probe-requests to the AP if beacon-loss is indicated by the
hardware.
