bba14de987 scm: lower SCM_MAX_FD
Lower SCM_MAX_FD from 255 to 253 so that allocations for scm_fp_list are
halved. (commit f8d570a4 added two pointers in this structure)

scm_fp_dup() should not copy whole structure (and trigger kmemcheck
warnings), but only the used part. While we are at it, only allocate
needed size.

293bb1c41b stmmac: add init/exit callback in plat_stmmacenet_data struct
This patch adds in the plat_stmmacenet_data
the init and exit callbacks that can be used
for invoking specific platform functions.
For example, on ST targets, these call the
PAD manager functions to set PIO lines and
syscfg registers.
The patch removes the stmmac_claim_resource
only used on STM Kernels as well.

eb06acdc85 macvlan: Introduce 'passthru' mode to takeover the underlying device
With the current default 'vepa' mode, a KVM guest using virtio with
macvtap backend has the following limitations.
- cannot change/add a mac address on the guest virtio-net
- cannot create a vlan device on the guest virtio-net
- cannot enable promiscuous mode on guest virtio-net

To address these limitations, this patch introduces a new mode called
'passthru' when creating a macvlan device which allows takeover of the
underlying device and passing it to a guest using virtio with macvtap
backend.

Only one macvlan device is allowed in passthru mode and it inherits
the mac address from the underlying device and sets it in promiscuous
mode to receive and forward all the packets.

93aaae2e01 filter: optimize sk_run_filter
Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter
instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer.

As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and
all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter
bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we
remove it from sk_run_filter() params.

On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory)

Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to
avoid too many ifdefs in this code.

This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A
accumulator.

On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter()
runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional
branch per BPF instruction)

9f0f7272ac ipv4: AF_INET link address family
Implements the AF_INET link address family exposing the per
device configuration settings via netlink using the attribute
IFLA_INET_CONF.

The format of IFLA_INET_CONF differs depending on the direction
the attribute is sent. The attribute sent by the kernel consists
of a u32 array, basically a 1:1 copy of in_device->cnf.data[].
The attribute expected by the kernel must consist of a sequence
of nested u32 attributes, each representing a change request,
e.g.
	[IFLA_INET_CONF] = {
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING] = 1,
		[IPV4_DEVCONF_NOXFRM] = 0,
	}

f8ff182c71 rtnetlink: Link address family API
Each net_device contains address family specific data such as
per device settings and statistics. We already expose this data
via procfs/sysfs and partially netlink.

The netlink method requires the requester to send one RTM_GETLINK
request for each address family it wishes to receive data of
and then merge this data itself.

This patch implements a new API which combines all address family
specific link data in a new netlink attribute IFLA_AF_SPEC.
IFLA_AF_SPEC contains a sequence of nested attributes, one for each
address family which in turn defines the structure of its own
attribute. Example:

   [IFLA_AF_SPEC] = {
       [AF_INET] = {
           [IFLA_INET_CONF] = ...,
       },
       [AF_INET6] = {
           [IFLA_INET6_FLAGS] = ...,
           [IFLA_INET6_CONF] = ...,
       }
   }

The API also allows for address families to implement a function
which parses the IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute sent by userspace to
implement address family specific link options.

b178bb3dfc net: reorder struct sock fields
Right now, fields in struct sock are not optimally ordered, because each
path (RX softirq, TX completion, RX user,  TX user) has to touch fields
that are contained in many different cache lines.

The really critical thing is to shrink number of cache lines that are
used at RX softirq time : CPU handling softirqs for a device can receive
many frames per second for many sockets. If load is too big, we can drop
frames at NIC level. RPS or multiqueue cards can help, but better reduce
latency if possible.

This patch starts with UDP protocol, then additional patches will try to
reduce latencies of other ones as well.

At RX softirq time, fields of interest for UDP protocol are :
(not counting ones in inet struct for the lookup)

Read/Written:
sk_refcnt   (atomic increment/decrement)
sk_rmem_alloc & sk_backlog.len (to check if there is room in queues)
sk_receive_queue
sk_backlog (if socket locked by user program)
sk_rxhash
sk_forward_alloc
sk_drops

Read only:
sk_rcvbuf (sk_rcvqueues_full())
sk_filter
sk_wq
sk_policy[0]
sk_flags

Additional notes :

- sk_backlog has one hole on 64bit arches. We can fill it to save 8
bytes.
- sk_backlog is used only if RX sofirq handler finds the socket while
locked by user.
- sk_rxhash is written only once per flow.
- sk_drops is written only if queues are full

Final layout :

[1] One section grouping all read/write fields, but placing rxhash and
sk_backlog at the end of this section.

[2] One section grouping all read fields in RX handler
   (sk_filter, sk_rcv_buf, sk_wq)

[3] Section used by other paths

I'll post a patch on its own to put sk_refcnt at the end of struct
sock_common so that it shares same cache line than section [1]

New offsets on 64bit arch :

sizeof(struct sock)=0x268
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt)  =0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock)    =0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x68
offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x80
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0x80
offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x9c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0xa4
offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xa0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0xa8
offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0xb0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0xd0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0xe0

Instead of :

sizeof(struct sock)=0x270
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt)  =0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock)    =0x50
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0xc0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x70
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0xac
offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x10c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x128
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0x4c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0x16c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0x198
offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0x88
offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0x98
offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0x130

8ffab51b3d macvlan: lockless tx path
macvlan is a stacked device, like tunnels. We should use the lockless
mechanism we are using in tunnels and loopback.

This patch completely removes locking in TX path.

tx stat counters are added into existing percpu stat structure, renamed
from rx_stats to pcpu_stats.

Note : this reverts commit 2c11455321 (macvlan: add multiqueue
capability)

Note : rx_errors converted to a 32bit counter, like tx_dropped, since
they dont need 64bit range.

ca4ffe8f28 cfg80211: fix disabling channels based on hints
After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory
domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are
welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming
from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset
of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies.

So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent
from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had
no information about the band we are currently processing.

This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend
on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling
5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices
further as was intended.

If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the
channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one
channel on the respective band we are procesing.

This was the original intention behind this design but it was
completely overlooked...

749b527b21 cfg80211: fix allowing country IEs for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY
We should be enabling country IE hints for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY
even if we haven't yet recieved regulatory domain hint for the driver
if it needed one. Without this Country IEs are not passed on to drivers
that have set WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY, today this is just all
Atheros chipset drivers: ath5k, ath9k, ar9170, carl9170.

This was part of the original design, however it was completely
overlooked...

58e998c6d2 offloading: Force software GSO for multiple vlan tags.
We currently use vlan_features to check for TSO support if there is
a vlan tag.  However, it's quite likely that the NIC is not able to
do TSO when there is an arbitrary number of tags.  Therefore if there
is more than one tag (in-band or out-of-band), fall back to software
emulation.

d83447f094 dccp ccid-2: Schedule Sync as out-of-band mechanism
The problem with Ack Vectors is that
  i) their length is variable and can in principle grow quite large,
 ii) it is hard to predict exactly how large they will be.

Due to the second point it seems not a good idea to reduce the MPS; in
particular when on average there is enough room for the Ack Vector and an
increase in length is momentarily due to some burst loss, after which the
Ack Vector returns to its normal/average length.

The solution taken by this patch is to subtract a minimum-expected Ack Vector
length from the MPS, and to defer any larger Ack Vectors onto a separate
Sync - but only if indeed there is no space left on the skb.

This patch provides the infrastructure to schedule Sync-packets for transporting
(urgent) out-of-band data. Its signalling is quicker than scheduling an Ack, since
it does not need to wait for new application data.

1d7138de87 igmp: RCU conversion of in_dev->mc_list
in_dev->mc_list is protected by one rwlock (in_dev->mc_list_lock).

This can easily be converted to a RCU protection.

Writers hold RTNL, so mc_list_lock is removed, not replaced by a
spinlock.

Depending on how a packet is vlan tagged (i.e. hardware accelerated or
not), the encapsulated protocol is stored in different locations.  This
provides a consistent method of accessing that protocol, which is needed
by drivers, security checks, etc.
