a2c395846c sctp: fix to only enable IPv6 address support on PF_INET6 socket
If socket is create by PF_INET type, it can not used IPv6 address
to send/recv DATA. So only enable IPv6 address support on PF_INET6
socket.

a987f762ca sctp: fix report unrecognized parameter in ACSONF-ACK
RFC5061 Section 5.2.  Upon Reception of an ASCONF Chunk

V2)  In processing the chunk, the receiver should build a
     response message with the appropriate error TLVs, as
     specified in the Parameter type bits, for any ASCONF
     Parameter it does not understand.  To indicate an
     unrecognized parameter, Cause Type 8 should be used as
     defined in the ERROR in Section 3.3.10.8, [RFC4960].  The
     endpoint may also use the response to carry rejections for
     other reasons, such as resource shortages, etc., using the
     Error Cause TLV and an appropriate error condition.

So we should indicate an unrecognized parameter with error
SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM in ACSONF-ACK chunk, not
SCTP_ERROR_INV_PARAM.

fbcc0e2ce5 fsl_pq_mido: Set the first UCC as the mii management interface master
Current code makes the UCC whose register range includes the current mdio
register to be the MII managemnt interface master of the QE. If there is more
than one mdio bus for QE, the UCC of the last mdio bus will be the MII
management interface master which will make the primary mdio bus working
unproperly, e.g. can not get the right clock. Normally the primary mdio bus is
the first UEC's mdio bus.
This patch allows the first UCC to be the MII management interface master of the
multiple UCC mdio buses.

mobile and 82578 for desktop versions).  New features consist of PHY
wakeup to save power by completely turning off the MAC while in Sx

12186be7d2 net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup
This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps
chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in
cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup.

When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized
by classifier's init(), and chained.  After it's chained,
tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change().  When classifier's
change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto.

In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init().  It
accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before
change(), then hits Oops.

ea30e11970 e1000: add missing length check to e1000 receive routine
Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000.  E1000 by default does two
things:

1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve
2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to
doing an skb_put

Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span
multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and
discards it if its not set.  This places us in a situation where, if we have a
spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since
it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test).  If the second part of
the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc,
underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a
huge number of bytes into the skb.  This amounts to a remote DOS attack through
careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU.  The fix for this
is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no
one ever pushed it to e1000.  This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents
small frames from causing the underflow described above

f771bef980 ipv4: New multicast-all socket option
After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens
regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly
modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier.

This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL.

In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current
Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide
original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from
multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this
socket option.

Add a phy_power_down parameter to forcedeth: set to 1 to power down the
phy and disable the link when an interface goes down; set to 0 to always
leave the phy powered up.

The phy power state persists across reboots; Windows, some BIOSes, and
older versions of Linux don't bother to power up the phy again, forcing
users to remove all power to get the interface working (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13072).  Leaving the phy
powered on is the safest default behavior.  Users accustomed to seeing
the link state reflect the interface state and/or wanting to minimize
power consumption can set phy_power_down=1 if compatibility with other
OSes is not an issue.

address to the SJA1000 register area. According to David Miller,
it's only use is to allow ISA and similar primitive bus devices to
have their I/O ports changed via ifconfig. The virtual address is
now stored in the private data structure of the SJA1000 device and
the callback functions use "struct sja1000_priv" instead of the
unneeded "struct net_device".

342a437ef6 usbnet: ratelimit warning messages invoked from callback handler
Warning messages coming from rtl8150 driver can flood the console
and make a DTV/set-top-box unable to decode video/audio frames.

'Pegasus' driver handles this situation similarly, preventing this
from happening there.

It happens with a low cost BCM MIPS embedded platform, whenever
timeout errors were coming from usbnet device, making platform
unusable for viewer watching.
