32e5a8d651 tg3 / broadcom: Add code to disable rxc refclk
The 5785 does not use the RXC reference clock.  Turning it off is
desirable as it saves power.

By default, the 50610 enables the RXC reference clock and the 50610M
disables it.  Presumably this is one of the reasons why the hardware
architect chose one over the other.

Adding a "rx reference clock disable" flag is not the ideal way to
describe the option, as it would force the MAC using a 50610M to set
the flag.  Ideally we want the flags to represent opt-in behavior that
deviates from hardware defaults.  Furthermore, the lack of a
"disable" flag implies that the requester wants the rx reference clock
enabled, which doesn't necessarily follow.

By presenting the option as a passive statement (rx reference clock
unused) rather than a command, I hope to convey an opt-in option to
disable the rx reference clock that falls back to hardware defaults if
not set.  A secondary benefit of this is that it keeps the
intelligence about phy defaults in the broadcom module where it belongs
and allows the broadcom module more latitude should a bug arise.

63a14ce449 tg3 / broadcom: Add PHY_BRCM_CLEAR_RGMII_MODE flag
Broadcom 50610M parts changed the default definitions of the RGMII mode
shadow register.  The 5785 needs the RGMII mode selection bits [4:3]
cleared.

The default value of the remaining bits in this register are zero.
Rather than unnecessarily burn an extra bit in the dev_flags member in
an attempt to enumerate all possible combinations, this patch take a
more course grained approach and labels the option as "clear all bits".

244546f0d3 RDS: Add GET_MR_FOR_DEST sockopt
RDS currently supports a GET_MR sockopt to establish a
memory region (MR) for a chunk of memory. However, the fastreg
method ties a MR to a particular destination. The GET_MR_FOR_DEST
sockopt allows the remote machine to be specified, and thus
support for fastreg (aka FRWRs).

Note that this patch does *not* do all of this - it simply
implements the new sockopt in terms of the old one, so applications
can begin to use the new sockopt in preparation for cutover to
FRWRs.

38bfd8f5be net,socket: introduce DECLARE_SOCKADDR helper to catch overflow at build time
proto_ops->getname implies copying protocol specific data
into storage unit (particulary to __kernel_sockaddr_storage).
So when we implement new protocol support we should keep such
a detail in mind (which is easy to forget about).

Lets introduce DECLARE_SOCKADDR helper which check if
storage unit is not overfowed at build time.

Eventually inet_getname is switched to use DECLARE_SOCKADDR
(to show example of usage).

05423b2413 vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used
We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

#define VLAN_PRIO_MASK         0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
#define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT        13
#define VLAN_CFI_MASK          0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
#define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT       VLAN_CFI_MASK
#define VLAN_VID_MASK          0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */

7b6856a029 can: provide library functions for skb allocation
This patch makes the private functions alloc_can_skb() and
alloc_can_err_skb() of the at91_can driver public and adapts all
drivers to use these. While making the patch I realized, that
the skb's are *not* setup consistently. It's now done as shown
below:

  skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_CAN);
  skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
  skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
  *cf = (struct can_frame *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(struct can_frame));
  memset(*cf, 0, sizeof(struct can_frame));

The frame is zeroed out to avoid uninitialized data to be passed to
user space. Some drivers or library code did not set "pkt_type" or
"ip_summed". Also,  "__constant_htons()" should not be used for
runtime invocations, as pointed out by David Miller.

c720c7e838 inet: rename some inet_sock fields
In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones
for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch.

Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first
read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt
to a separate cache line (only written by rx path)

This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr,
sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these
fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes.

The CAN drivers have been adapted accordingly. For the ems_usb driver,

increased to 10, which improves the transmission performance a lot.

a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

3b885787ea net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
successfully by me.

Notes:

1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.

2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

e0e6f55d29 ipv6: Fix the size overflow of addrconf_sysctl array
(This patch fixes bug of commit f7734fdf61
 title "make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable")

When the IPV6 conf is used, the function sysctl_set_parent is called and the
array addrconf_sysctl is used as a parameter of the function.

The above patch added new conf "force_tllao" into the array addrconf_sysctl,
but the size of the array was not modified, the static allocated size is
DEVCONF_MAX + 1 but the real size is DEVCONF_MAX + 2, so the problem is
that the function sysctl_set_parent accessed wrong address.

f86dcc5aa8 udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.

4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.

Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper

Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.

dmesg logs two new lines :
[    0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[    0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
debugging spinlocks.

125a77ed9f IPv6: Fix 6RD build error
Fix build error introduced in commit fa857afcf - ipv6 sit: 6rd
(IPv6 Rapid Deployment) Support.  Struct in6_addr is the issue.
I'm only seeing this on x86_64 systems, not on 32-bit with same
IPv6 config options, so it could be there's a missing forward
declaration somewhere, but including the correct header file
fixes the problem too.

Linux keeps scan results up to 15 seconds. This can be a problem for fast
moving clients: they get back stale data. But if the kernel reports the age
of the BSS items, then user-space can simply weed out old entries by itself.

Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: new sysctl for sending TLLAO with unicast NAs

Neighbor advertisements responding to unicast neighbor solicitations
did not include the target link-layer address option. This patch adds
a new sysctl option (disabled by default) which controls whether this
option should be sent even with unicast NAs.

The need for this arose because certain routers expect the TLLAO in
some situations even as a response to unicast NS packets.

Moreover, RFC 2461 recommends sending this to avoid a race condition
(section 4.4, Target link-layer address)

d73d3a8cb4 ethtool: Add reset operation
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately.  This should
not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.

A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.

This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
components to be reset.  Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
those requested, and must indicate the actual subset.  This allows the
use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

fa857afcf7 ipv6 sit: 6rd (IPv6 Rapid Deployment) Support.
IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.

With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.

Original patch was done by Alexandre Cassen <acassen@freebox.fr>
based on old Internet-Draft.

ee5e81f000 add vif using local interface index instead of IP
When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it
performs something like:

       struct vifctl vc = {
               .vifc_vifi  = 1,
               .vifc_flags = 0,
               .vifc_threshold = 1,
               .vifc_rate_limit = 0,
               .vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical
interface, e.g. eth0 */
               .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
         };
       setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));

This leads (in the kernel) to calling  vif_add() function call which
search the (physical) device using assigned IP address:
       dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr);

The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an
interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a
single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found.

The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface
by its index, instead of IP address:

       struct vifctl vc = {
               .vifc_vifi  = 1,
               .vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX,   /* NEW */
               .vifc_threshold = 1,
               .vifc_rate_limit = 0,
               .vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"),   /* NEW */
               .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
         };
       setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));
