8388e3da34 net: Set LL_MAX_HEADER properly for wireless.
Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has
quite strong requirements for link-layer header space.

Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg
we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with
mesh enabled we use 128.

In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by
ordering the cases by those needing the most space down
to those needing the least case.

b30cdfc517 rt2x00: Clean up error handling of PCI queue DMA allocation.
When, for some reason, the rt2x00pci module fails to allocate DMA memory for
the queues, it tries to undo the complete initialization of the PCI device,
including freeing of the irq. This results in the following error in dmesg, as
the irq hadn't been requested yet:

During initialization the initialize() callback function
in rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb will cleanup the mess they made.

rt2x00lib shouldn't call uninitialize because the callback function already
cleaned up _and_ the DEVICE_INITIALIZED isn't set which causes the
rt2x00lib_uninitialize() to halt directly anyway. All that is required
to be cleaned up by rt2x00lib is the queue, and that can be done by
calling rt2x00queue_uninitialize() directly.

then reallocating the skb buffer...

5dc474d6b3 pppol2tp: Remove null pointer dereference.
If session is NULL, it is not possible to access its name field.  So I
have split apart the printing of the error message to drop the
printing of the name field in this case.

The macro PRINTK actually only evaluates its arguments starting with
the third one if the bitwise conjunction of the first two is non-zero.
Normally, this conjunction would only be non-zero if debugging mode
were turned on, but when session is NULL, the first argument in both
the old and new code is -1, and thus the bitwise conjunction is true.
Perhaps a different strategy is desired, such as using tunnel->debug,
which session->debug is initialized to, but tunnel can also be NULL,
so this does not completely solve the problem.


This problem was found using the following semantic match
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

aca51397d0 netns: Fix arbitrary net_device-s corruptions on net_ns stop.
When a net namespace is destroyed, some devices (those, not killed
on ns stop explicitly) are moved back to init_net.

The problem, is that this net_ns change has one point of failure -
the __dev_alloc_name() may be called if a name collision occurs (and
this is easy to trigger). This allocator performs a likely-to-fail
GFP_ATOMIC allocation to find a suitable number. Other possible 
conditions that may cause error (for device being ns local or not
registered) are always false in this case.

So, when this call fails, the device is unregistered. But this is
*not* the right thing to do, since after this the device may be
released (and kfree-ed) improperly. E. g. bridges require more
actions (sysfs update, timer disarming, etc.), some other devices 
want to remove their private areas from lists, etc.

I. e. arbitrary use-after-free cases may occur.

The proposed fix is the following: since the only reason for the
dev_change_net_namespace to fail is the name generation, we may
give it a unique fall-back name w/o %d-s in it - the dev<ifindex>
one, since ifindexes are still unique.

So make this change, raise the failure-case printk loglevel to 
EMERG and replace the unregister_netdevice call with BUG().

62ab222783 tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewReno
Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which
is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error
that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's
a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that
I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit).

There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting
incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow.
This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno
if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO.

An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly
considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions
though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during
fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO.
In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only
one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue.
The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events
making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow.

In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur
again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as
well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most
frequently with some small devices such as network printers
that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases
were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically
resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be
retransmitted in order to continue.

I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few
reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some
cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now
to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla
#10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com>
had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it
for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure
out.

a86e2cbe26 fs_enet: Fix a memory leak in fs_enet_mdio_probe
There are more memory leaks in the !PPC_CPM_NEW_BINDING case, but that code
will disappear soon along with arch/ppc.

46fa06170d [netdrvr] eexpress: IPv6 fails - multicast problems
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10577

I was unable to access a computer containing an Intel EtherExpress 16 network
card using IPv6.

I traced this to failure of neighbour discovery.  When I used an "ip -6 neigh
add" command, on the computer attempting access, to insert a binding between
the IPv6 address of the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card
and the card's ethernet address, I was able to access that computer using
IPv6.

Neighbour discovery requires working multicast.  The driver sources file
eexpress.c contains an approximately 30 line function eexp_setup_filter used
when loading multicast addresses.

I found 3 problems in this function

1) It wrote the number of multicast addresses to the card instead of the
    number of bytes in the multicast addresses.

2) When loading multiple multicast addresses it loaded the first one
    provided multiple times instead of loading each one once.

3) The setting of pointer 'data' from 'dmi->dmi_addr' occured before the
    test for the error situation of 'dmi' being NULL.

Correcting these problems allows the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16
network card to found by IPv6 neighbour discovery.

p.s. There is some information on the Intel EtherExpress 16 at

aa807f79da 3c980-TX needs EXTRA_PREAMBLE
The ethernet card 3c980-TX needs a mdio_sync() to initialize the ethernet
properly. This is forced by adding an EXTRA_PREAMBLE to its drv_flags.

Without this, the driver did not reconnect after a link loss.
