5dbc46506a IXP42x HSS support for setting internal clock rate
HSS usually uses external clocks, so it's not a big deal. Internal clock
is used for direct DTE-DTE connections and when the DCE doesn't provide
it's own clock.

This also depends on the oscillator frequency. Intel seems to have
calculated the clock register settings for 33.33 MHz (66.66 MHz timer
base). Their settings seem quite suboptimal both in terms of average
frequency (60 ppm is unacceptable for G.703 applications, their primary
intended usage(?)) and jitter.

Many (most?) platforms use a 33.333 MHz oscillator, a 10 ppm difference
from Intel's base.

Instead of creating static tables, I've created a procedure to program
the HSS clock register. The register consists of 3 parts (A, B, C).
The average frequency (= bit rate) is:
66.66x MHz / (A  + (B + 1) / (C + 1))
The procedure aims at the closest average frequency, possibly at the
cost of increased jitter. Nobody would be able to directly drive an
unbufferred transmitter with a HSS anyway, and the frequency error is
what it really counts.

I've verified the above with an oscilloscope on IXP425. It seems IXP46x
and possibly IXP43x use a bit different clock generation algorithm - it
looks like the avg frequency is:
(on IXP465) 66.66x MHz / (A  + B / (C + 1)).
Also they use much greater precomputed A and B - on IXP425 it would
simply result in more jitter, but I don't know how does it work on
IXP46x (perhaps 3 least significant bits aren't used?).

Anyway it looks that they were aiming for exactly +60 ppm or -60 ppm,
while <1 ppm is typically possible (with a synchronized clock, of
course).

The attached patch makes it possible to set almost any bit rate
(my IXP425 533 MHz quits at > 22 Mb/s if a single port is used, and the
minimum is ca. 65 Kb/s).

This is independent of MVIP (multi-E1/T1 on one HSS) mode.

32e6a0c82e WAN: remove deprecated PCI_DEVICE_ID from PCI200SYN driver.
PCI200SYN has its own PCI subsystem device ID for 3+ years, now it's
time to remove the generic PLX905[02] ID from the driver. Anyone with
old EEPROM data will have to run the upgrade.

Having the generic PLX905[02] (PCI-local bus bridge) ID is harmful
as the driver tries to handle other devices based on these bridges.

6ec1c69a8f net_sched: add classful multiqueue dummy scheduler
This patch adds a classful dummy scheduler which can be used as root qdisc
for multiqueue devices and exposes each device queue as a child class.

This allows to address queues individually and graft them similar to regular
classes. Additionally it presents an accumulated view of the statistics of
all real root qdiscs in the dummy root.

Two new callbacks are added to the qdisc_ops and qdisc_class_ops:

- cl_ops->select_queue selects the tx queue number for new child classes.

- qdisc_ops->attach() overrides root qdisc device grafting to attach
  non-shared qdiscs to the queues.

af356afa01 net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:

- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
  they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.

- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
  qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
  to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
  shared qdisc has been attached.

- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
  qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.

This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

723884339f sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address Scoping
This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping
configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>.

In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting
chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses,
SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the
kernel due to address scope match failure.
For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with
different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's,
and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local
IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping
draft is strictly followed.

This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such
unconventional networking environments.

Sysctl options:
0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether
1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior)
2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack
3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack

We used to perform 2 routing lookups for a new transport: one
just for path mtu detection, and one to actually route to destination

both of them, especially since the first one just for path mtu doesn't

causing path mtu updates anyway.

This happens due to all overhead that we have account for with small

the window to 0 and save the 'drop' portion.  When application starts
reading data and freeing up recevie buffer space, we'll wait until

b9f8478682 sctp: Fix error count increments that were results of HEARTBEATS
SCTP RFC 4960 states that unacknowledged HEARTBEATS count as
errors agains a given transport or endpoint.  As such, we
should increment the error counts for only for unacknowledged
HB, otherwise we detect failure too soon.  This goes for both
the overall error count and the path error count.

Now, there is a difference in how the detection is done
between the two.  The path error detection is done after
the increment, so to detect it properly, we actually need
to exceed the path threshold.  The overall error detection
is done _BEFORE_ the increment.  Thus to detect the failure,
it's enough for the error count to match the threshold.
This is why all the state functions use '>=' to detect failure,
while path detection uses '>'.

Thanks goes to Chunbo Luo <chunbo.luo@windriver.com> who first
proposed patches to fix this issue and made me re-read the spec
and the code to figure out how this cruft really works.

from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue

that all data should be fragmented to, we need to fix how
we do segmentation.   Right now, if a user specifies a small
fragment size, the segment size can go negative in the presence
of AUTH or COOKIE_ECHO bundling.

What we need to do is track the largest possbile DATA chunk that
can fit into the mtu.  Then if the fragment size specified is
bigger then this maximum length, we'll shrink it down.  Otherwise,
we just use the smaller segment size without changing it further.

bec9640bb0 sctp: Disallow new connection on a closing socket
If a socket has a lot of association that are in the process of
of being closed/aborted, it is possible for a remote to establish
new associations during the time period that the old ones are shutting
down.  If this was a result of a close() call, there will be no socket
and will cause a memory leak.  We'll prevent this by setting the
socket state to CLOSING and disallow new associations when in this state.

af87b823ca sctp: Fix piggybacked ACKs
This patch corrects the conditions under which a SACK will be piggybacked
on a DATA packet.  The previous condition was incorrect due to a
misinterpretation of RFC 4960 and/or RFC 2960.  Specifically, the
following paragraph from section 6.2 had not been implemented correctly:

   Before an endpoint transmits a DATA chunk, if any received DATA
   chunks have not been acknowledged (e.g., due to delayed ack), the
   sender should create a SACK and bundle it with the outbound DATA
   chunk, as long as the size of the final SCTP packet does not exceed
   the current MTU.  See Section 6.2.

When about to send a DATA chunk, the code now checks to see if the SACK
timer is running.  If it is, we know we have a SACK to send to the
peer, so we append the SACK (assuming available space in the packet)
and turn off the timer.  For a simple request-response scenario, this
will result in the SACK being bundled with the response, meaning the
the SACK is received quickly by the client, and also meaning that no
separate SACK packet needs to be sent by the server to acknowledge the
request.  Prior to this patch, a separate SACK packet would have been
sent by the server SCTP only after its delayed-ACK timer had expired
(usually 200ms).  This is wasteful of bandwidth, and can also have a
major negative impact on performance due the interaction of delayed ACKs
with the Nagle algorithm.

40187886bc sctp: release cached route when the transport goes down.
When the sctp transport is marked down, we can release the
cached route and force a new lookup when attempting to use
this transport for anything.  This way, if a better route
or source address is available, we'll try to use it.
