This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:
If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.
This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.
This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

The PPPOE/VLAN processing code in the bridge netfilter is broken
by design. The VLAN tag and the PPPOE session ID are an integral
part of the packet flow information, yet they're completely
ignored by the bridge netfilter. This is potentially a security
hole as it treats all VLANs and PPPOE sessions as the same.
What's more, it's actually broken for PPPOE as the bridge netfilter
tries to trim the packets to the IP length without adjusting the
PPPOE header (and adjusting the PPPOE header isn't much better
since the PPPOE peer may require the padding to be present).
Therefore we should disable this by default.
It does mean that people relying on this feature may lose networking
depending on how their bridge netfilter rules are configured.
However, IMHO the problems this code causes are serious enough to
warrant this.

As GRE tries to call the update_pmtu function on skb->dst and
bridge supplies an skb->dst that has a NULL ops field, all is
not well.
This patch fixes this by giving the bridge device an ops field
with an update_pmtu function. For the moment I've left all
other fields blank but we can fill them in later should the
need arise.
Based on report and patch by Philip Craig.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

My change
commit e2a6b85247
net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device
didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions. So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.
This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.
It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration. This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.
The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time.
It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space
even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into
structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to
apply its optimizations.
This patch does this for match extensions' match functions.
A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for
example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different
offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one
protocol here, so clarify).
