08e9897d51 netdev: fold name hash properly (v3)
The full_name_hash function does not produce well distributed values in
the lower bits, so most code uses hash_32() to fold it.  This is really
a bug introduced when name hashing was added, back in 2.5 when I added
name hashing.

hash_32 is all that is needed since full_name_hash returns unsigned int
which is only 32 bits on 64 bit platforms.

Also, there is no point in using hash_32 on ifindex, because the is naturally
sequential and usually well distributed.

e84af6ddef skbuff: Do not allow skb recycling with disabled IRQs
NAPI drivers try to recycle SKBs in their polling routine, but we
generally don't know the context in which the polling will be called,
and the skb recycling itself may require IRQs to be enabled.

This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check()
routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling
path with IRQs disabled.

As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some
[broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during
TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused
the following badness:

nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (1008 buckets, 4032 max)

292f4f3ce4 sit: Clean up DF code by copying from IPIP
This patch rearranges the SIT DF bit handling using the new IPIP DF
code.  The only externally visible effect should be the case where
PMTU is enabled and the MTU is exactly 1280 bytes.  In this case the
previous code would send packets out with DF off while the new code
would set the DF bit.  This is inline with RFC 4213.

9e0d57fd6d xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resume
This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine 
in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because 
after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while 
it has already been expired on the remote server.

  The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to 
the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.

  I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any
issues.

  This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra
(commit 9ba5f0).

  This patch is against 2.6.31.4. Please CC me.

We choose the shortest chain and proceed with a RCU lookup on the elected chain.

But, if we chose (port, address) chain, and fail to find a socket on given address,
 we must try another lookup on (port, in6addr_any) chain to find sockets not bound
to a particular IP.

-> No extra cost for typical setups, where the first lookup will probabbly
be performed.

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

7a229387d3 net: copy socket ioctl code to net/socket.h
This makes an identical copy of the socket compat_ioctl code
from fs/compat_ioctl.c to net/socket.c, as a preparation
for moving the functionality in a way that can be easily
reviewed.

The code is hidden inside of #if 0 and gets activated in the
patch that will make it work.

23ca0c989e ipip: Fix handling of DF packets when pmtudisc is OFF
RFC 2003 requires the outer header to have DF set if DF is set
on the inner header, even when PMTU discovery is off for the
tunnel.  Our implementation does exactly that.

For this to work properly the IPIP gateway also needs to engate
in PMTU when the inner DF bit is set.  As otherwise the original
host would not be able to carry out its PMTU successfully since
part of the path is only visible to the gateway.

Unfortunately when the tunnel PMTU discovery setting is off, we
do not collect the necessary soft state, resulting in blackholes
when the original host tries to perform PMTU discovery.

This problem is not reproducible on the IPIP gateway itself as
the inner packet usually has skb->local_df set.  This is not
correctly cleared (an unrelated bug) when the packet passes
through the tunnel, which allows fragmentation to occur.  For
hosts behind the IPIP gateway it is readily visible with a simple
ping.

This patch fixes the problem by performing PMTU discovery for
all packets with the inner DF bit set, regardless of the PMTU
discovery setting on the tunnel itself.

Commit v2.6.28-rc1~717^2~109^2~2 was slightly incomplete; not all
instances of par->match->family were changed to par->family.

af81858172 mac80211: async station powersave handling
Some devices require that all frames to a station
are flushed when that station goes into powersave
mode before being able to send frames to that
station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
frames being sent to the station when it polls.

Normally, this is the case unless the station
goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
But in that case, frames for it may be pending
on the hardware queues, and thus races could
happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
sure the race doesn't happen.

This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
per-station flag that can be controlled by the
driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
frames or not. This flag must be set according to
very specific rules outlined in the documentation
for the function that controls it.

When we buffer new frames for the station, we
normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
the TIM bit.

Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
need to wait until all other frames are flushed
before we can transmit frames to that station,
so the same applies here, we need to wait for
the driver to give the OK.
