871a2c16c2 dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructure
This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
 * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
 * a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).

The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

a7f5a5fcd9 ixgbe: fix for link failure on SFP+ DA cables
This patch helps prevent FW/SW semaphore collision from leading
to link establishment failure.  The collision might mess up the

in the PHY that are not reset with a Reset_AN so we need to change

2d5311e4e8 filter: add a security check at install time
We added some security checks in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) to close a
potential leak of kernel information to user.

This added a potential extra cost at run time, while we can perform a
check of the filter itself, to make sure a malicious user doesnt try to
abuse us.

This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to
make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the
filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is
allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that
sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory)

Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach,
previously allowed.

If Lancer chip does not have posted RX buffers, it posts an RX completion entry
with the same frag_index as the last valid completion. The Error bit is also

Such completions don't carry any data and are not processed.

0af55bb58f af_packet: use vmalloc_to_page() instead for the addresss returned by vmalloc()
The following commit causes the pgv->buffer may point to the memory
returned by vmalloc(). And we can't use virt_to_page() for the vmalloc
address.

This patch introduces a new inline function pgv_to_page(), which calls
vmalloc_to_page() for the vmalloc address, and virt_to_page() for the
__get_free_pages address.

We used to increase page pointer to get the next page at the next page
address, after Neil's patch, it is wrong, as the physical address may
be not continuous. This patch also fixes this issue.

a6b68dab16 tg3: Minor EEE code tweaks
The first hunk of this patch makes sure that the driver checks for the
appropriate preconditions before checking if EEE negotiation succeeded.
More specifically the link needs to be full duplex for EEE to be
enabled.

The second and third hunks of this patch fix a bug where the eee
advertisement register would be programmed with extra bits set.

The fourth hunk of this patch makes sure the EEE capability flag is not
set for 5718 A0 devices and that the device is not a serdes device.

None of these modifications are strictly necessary.  The driver /
hardware still does the right thing.  They are submitted primarily for
correctness.

6a8872c54d sfc: Expose Falcon BootROM config through MTD, not ethtool
The ethtool EEPROM interface is really meant for exposing chip
configuration, not BootROM configuration.

6c88b0b6dc sfc: Remove broken automatic fallback for invalid Falcon chip/board config
If the Falcon board config is invalid, we cannot proceed - we do not
have a valid board type to pass to falcon_probe_board(), and if we
kluge that to work with an unknown board then other initialisation
code will crash.

18e3ee2cf9 sfc: Fix event based MCDI completion and MC REBOOT/CMDDONE ordering issue
The mcfw *never* sends CMDDONE when rebooting. Changing this so that it always
sends CMDDONE *before* REBOOT is easy on Siena, but it's not obvious that we
could guarantee to be able to implement this on future hardware.

Given this, I'm less convinced that the protocol should be changed.

To reiterate the failure mode: The driver sees this:

 issue command
 receive REBOOT event

Was that reboot event sent before the command was issued, or in
response to the command? If the former then there will be a subsequent
CMDDONE event, if the latter, then there will be no CMDDONE event.

Options to resolve this are:

 1. REBOOT always completes an outstanding mcdi request, and we set
    the credits count to ignore a subsequent CMDDONE event with
    mismatching seqno.

 2. REBOOT never completes an outstanding mcdi request. If there is
    no CMDDONE event then we rely on the mcdi timeout code to complete
    the outstanding request, incurring a 10s delay.

I'd argue that (2) is tidier, but that incurring a 10s delay is a little
needless. Let's go with (1).
