89e536a190 ax88796: add 93cx6 eeprom support
Hook up the 93cx6 eeprom code to the ax88796 driver and modify the ax88796
driver to read out the mac address from the eeprom.  We need this for the
ax88796 on certain SuperH boards.  The pin configuration used to connect
the eeprom to the ax88796 on these boards is the same as pointed out by the
ax88796 datasheet, so we can probably reuse this code for multiple
platforms in the future.

0ac4952731 PHYLIB: IRQ event workqueue handling fixes
Keep track of disable_irq_nosync() invocations and call enable_irq() the
right number of times if work has been cancelled that would include them.

Now that the call to flush_work_keventd() (problematic because of
rtnl_mutex being held) has been replaced by cancel_work_sync() another
issue has arisen and been left unresolved.  As the MDIO bus cannot be
accessed from the interrupt context the PHY interrupt handler uses
disable_irq_nosync() to prevent from looping and schedules some work to be
done as a softirq, which, apart from handling the state change of the
originating PHY, is responsible for reenabling the interrupt.  Now if the
interrupt line is shared by another device and a call to the softirq
handler has been cancelled, that call to enable_irq() never happens and the
other device cannot use its interrupt anymore as its stuck disabled.

I decided to use a counter rather than a flag because there may be more
than one call to phy_change() cancelled in the queue -- a real one and a
fake one triggered by free_irq() if DEBUG_SHIRQ is used, if nothing else.
Therefore because of its nesting property enable_irq() has to be called the
right number of times to match the number disable_irq_nosync() was called
and restore the original state.  This DEBUG_SHIRQ feature is also the
reason why free_irq() has to be called before cancel_work_sync().

While at it I updated the comment about phy_stop_interrupts() being called
from `keventd' -- this is no longer relevant as the use of
cancel_work_sync() makes such an approach unnecessary.  OTOH a similar
comment referring to flush_scheduled_work() in phy_stop() still applies as
using cancel_work_sync() there would be dangerous.

Checked with checkpatch.pl and at the run time (with and without
DEBUG_SHIRQ).

b421995235 [PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NAT
Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are
placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to
correctly NAT protocol-specific data.

In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number
of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information
has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so.

Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into
the IPv4 routing subsystem.  This was a great solution as long as the NAT
worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was
relatively small.  The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system
had to perform a linear scan through the rules.

If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take
place in the routing subsystem to make this practical.

For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use
the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions
infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim.

The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat
action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large
number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time.

The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code
written by Alexey.  In future we might be able to utilise the protocol
NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols.

4150c57212 [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.

Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().

The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.

(rtl8187, adm8211, and p54), Larry Finger (b43legacy), and

f4618d39a3 [NETNS]: Simplify the network namespace list locking rules.
Denis V. Lunev <den@sw.ru> noticed that the locking rules
for the network namespace list are over complicated and broken.

In particular the current register_netdev_notifier currently
does not take any lock making the for_each_net iteration racy
with network namespace creation and destruction. Oops.

The fact that we need to use for_each_net in rtnl_unlock() when
the rtnetlink support becomes per network namespace makes designing
the proper locking tricky.  In addition we need to be able to call
rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() when we have the net_mutex held.

After thinking about it and looking at the alternatives carefully
it looks like the simplest and most maintainable solution is
to remove net_list_mutex altogether, and to use the rtnl_mutex instead.

a94f0f9705 [DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-Syncs
This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
 "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
  impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
  such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."

The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.

Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported.  This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)

In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).

The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.

Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're
               sending a sync.

I suggest to document that LLTX is deprecated.

de3cb747ff [NET]: Dynamically allocate the loopback device, part 1.
This patch replaces all occurences to the static variable
loopback_dev to a pointer loopback_dev. That provides the
mindless, trivial, uninteressting change part for the dynamic
allocation for the loopback.

b76892051c [TCP]: Avoid clearing sacktag hint in trivial situations
There's no reason to clear the sacktag skb hint when small part
of the rexmit queue changes. Account changes (if any) instead when
fragmenting/collapsing. RTO/FRTO do not touch SACKED_ACKED bits so
no need to discard SACK tag hint at all.

61e115a56d [SSB]: add Sonics Silicon Backplane bus support
SSB is an SoC bus used in a number of embedded devices.  The most
well-known of these devices is probably the Linksys WRT54G, but there
are others as well.  The bus is also used internally on the BCM43xx
and BCM44xx devices from Broadcom.

This patch also includes support for SSB ID tables in modules, so
that SSB drivers can be loaded automatically.

768f3591e2 [NETNS]: Cleanup list walking in setup_net and cleanup_net
I proposed introducing a list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse macro
to be used in setup_net() when unrolling the failed ->init callback.

Here is the macro and some more cleanup in the setup_net() itself
to remove one variable from the stack :) The same thing is for the
cleanup_net() - the existing list_for_each_entry_reverse() is used.

Minor, but the code looks nicer.
