The mesh_plink code is doing some interesting things with the

handle this race:
cpu 0 cpu 1
----- -----
start timer handler for state X
acquire sta_lock
change state from X to Y
mod_timer() / del_timer()
release sta_lock
acquire sta_lock
execute state Y timer too soon
However, using the mod_timer()/del_timer() return values to
detect these cases is broken. As a result, timers get ignored
unnecessarily, and stations can get stuck in the peering state
machine.
Instead, we can detect the case by looking at the timer expiration.
In the case of del_timer, just ignore the timers in the following

It is currently possible to have a race due to the station PS
unblock work like this:
* station goes to sleep with frames buffered in the driver
* driver blocks wakeup
* station wakes up again
* driver flushes/returns frames, and unblocks, which schedules
the unblock work
* unblock work starts to run, and checks that the station is
awake (i.e. that the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag isn't set)
* we process a received frame with PM=1, setting the flag again
* ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() runs, delivering all frames
to the driver, and then clearing the WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER and
WLAN_STA_PS_STA flags
In this scenario, mac80211 will think that the station is awake,
while it really is asleep, and any TX'ed frames should be filtered
by the device (it will know that the station is sleeping) but then
passed to mac80211 again, which will not buffer it either as it
thinks the station is awake, and eventually the packets will be
dropped.
Fix this by moving the clearing of the flags to exactly where we
learn about the situation. This creates a problem of reordering,
so introduce another flag indicating that delivery is being done,
this new flag also queues frames and is cleared only while the
spinlock is held (which the queuing code also holds) so that any
concurrent delivery/TX is handled correctly.

Commit 3fd091e73b ("[SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs
to jiffies conversions.") has silently changed permissions for
rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs from 0644 to 0444. The purpose of
this was to discourage users from tweaking rto_alpha and
rto_beta knobs in production environments since they are key
to correctly compute rtt/srtt.
RFC4960 under section 6.3.1. RTO Calculation says regarding
rto_alpha and rto_beta under rule C3 and C4:
[...]
C3) When a new RTT measurement R' is made, set
RTTVAR <- (1 - RTO.Beta) * RTTVAR + RTO.Beta * |SRTT - R'|
and
SRTT <- (1 - RTO.Alpha) * SRTT + RTO.Alpha * R'
Note: The value of SRTT used in the update to RTTVAR
is its value before updating SRTT itself using the
second assignment. After the computation, update
RTO <- SRTT + 4 * RTTVAR.
C4) When data is in flight and when allowed by rule C5
below, a new RTT measurement MUST be made each round
trip. Furthermore, new RTT measurements SHOULD be
made no more than once per round trip for a given
destination transport address. There are two reasons
for this recommendation: First, it appears that
measuring more frequently often does not in practice
yield any significant benefit [ALLMAN99]; second,
if measurements are made more often, then the values
of RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta in rule C3 above should be
adjusted so that SRTT and RTTVAR still adjust to
changes at roughly the same rate (in terms of how many
round trips it takes them to reflect new values) as
they would if making only one measurement per
round-trip and using RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta as given
in rule C3. However, the exact nature of these
adjustments remains a research issue.
[...]
While it is discouraged to adjust rto_alpha and rto_beta
and not further specified how to adjust them, the RFC also
doesn't explicitly forbid it, but rather gives a RECOMMENDED
default value (rto_alpha=3, rto_beta=2). We have a couple
of users relying on the old permissions before they got
changed. That said, if someone really has the urge to adjust
them, we could allow it with a warning in the log.

Geert reported issues regarding checksum complete and UDP.
The logic introduced in commit 7e3cead517
("net: Save software checksum complete") is not correct.
This patch:
1) Restores code in __skb_checksum_complete_header except for setting
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This function may be calculating checksum on
something less than skb->len.
2) Adds saving checksum to __skb_checksum_complete. The full packet
checksum 0..skb->len is calculated without adding in pseudo header.
This value is saved in skb->csum and then the pseudo header is added
to that to derive the checksum for validation.
3) In both __skb_checksum_complete_header and __skb_checksum_complete,
set skb->csum_valid to whether checksum of zero was computed. This
allows skb_csum_unnecessary to return true without changing to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which was done previously.
4) Copy new csum related bits in __copy_skb_header.

When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.
The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce5c ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.
iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").
The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)
We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.
