7967168cef [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

48d83325b6 [NET]: Prevent multiple qdisc runs
Having two or more qdisc_run's contend against each other is bad because
it can induce packet reordering if the packets have to be requeued.  It
appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue
lock while transmitting.  That in turn is needed for devices that spend a
lot of time in their transmit routine.

There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently
single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a
queue).

Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt
a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to
process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered
correctly.

The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this.

BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the
kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the
new __qdisc_run function.

72dc5b9225 [TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease.  Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.

Minor behaviour change to TCP compound.  It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

546be2405b [IPSEC] xfrm: Undo afinfo lock proliferation
The number of locks used to manage afinfo structures can easily be reduced
down to one each for policy and state respectively.  This is based on the
observation that the write locks are only held by module insertion/removal
which are very rare events so there is no need to further differentiate
between the insertion of modules like ipv6 versus esp6.

The removal of the read locks in xfrm4_policy.c/xfrm6_policy.c might look
suspicious at first.  However, after you realise that nobody ever takes
the corresponding write lock you'll feel better :)

As far as I can gather it's an attempt to guard against the removal of
the corresponding modules.  Since neither module can be unloaded at all
we can leave it to whoever fixes up IPv6 unloading :)

74f4903363 [PATCH] wireless: Changes to ieee80211.h for user space regulatory daemon
Attached are two small patches for include/net/ieee80211.h to prepare
for later submission of code to implement a user-space daemon that
supplies 802.11 regulatory information.

The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be
applied to a channel. As discussed earlier in this list, a single bit
is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I have been unable
to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and
802.11h other than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single
bit is thus sufficient to convey to the driver that these rules should
be obeyed.

The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of
struct ieee80211_channel to indicate the units that are used.

6ae15df16e [PATCH] softmac: Fix handling of authentication failure
My router blew up earlier, but exhibited some interesting behaviour during
its dying moments. It was broadcasting beacons but wouldn't respond to
any authentication requests.

I noticed that softmac wasn't playing nice with this, as I couldn't make it try
to connect to other networks after it had timed out authenticating to my ill
router.

To resolve this, I modified the softmac event/notify API to pass the event
code to the callback, so that callbacks being notified from
IEEE80211SOFTMAC_EVENT_ANY masks can make some judgement. In this case, the
ieee80211softmac_assoc callback needs to make a decision based upon whether
the association passed or failed.

76ea4c7f4c [PATCH] softmac: complete shared key authentication
This patch finishes of the partially-complete shared key authentication
implementation in softmac.

The complication here is that we need to encrypt a management frame during
the authentication process. I don't think there are any other scenarios where
this would have to happen.

To get around this without causing too many headaches, we decided to just use
software encryption for this frame. The softmac config option now selects
IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP so that we can ensure this available. This also involved
a modification to some otherwise unused ieee80211 API.

bd89efc532 [NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.
The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff>
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.

Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.

To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doing

ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable

Looking at the ARP tables by using 

ip neigh show

will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.

This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().

Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.

[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
  use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock.  Instead we remember that
  we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
  the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

7c3ceb4fb9 [SCTP]: Allow spillover of receive buffer to avoid deadlock.
This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing
temporary spillover of the receive buffer.

- If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn,
  accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with
  higher TSNs.
- Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks
  even if we run out of receive buffer space.

8462fe3cd9 [PATCH] softmac: suggest per-frame-type TX rate
This patch is the first step towards rate control inside softmac.

The txrates substructure has been extended to provide
different fields for different types of packets (management/data,
unicast/multicast). These fields are updated on association to values
compatible with the access point we are associating to.

Drivers can then use the new ieee80211softmac_suggest_txrate() function
call when deciding which rate to transmit each frame at. This is
immensely useful for ZD1211, and bcm can use it too.

The user can still specify a rate through iwconfig, which is matched
for all transmissions (assuming the rate they have specified is in
the rate set required by the AP).

At a later date, we can incorporate automatic rate management into
the ieee80211softmac_recalc_txrates() function.

This patch also removes the mcast_fallback field. Sam Leffler pointed
out that this field is meaningless, because no driver will ever be
retransmitting mcast frames (they are not acked).
