There are multiple problems related to qlen adjustment that can lead
to an upper qdisc getting out of sync with the real number of packets
queued, leading to endless dequeueing attempts by the upper layer code.
All qdiscs must maintain an accurate q.qlen counter. There are basically
two groups of operations affecting the qlen: operations that propagate
down the tree (enqueue, dequeue, requeue, drop, reset) beginning at the
root qdisc and operations only affecting a subtree or single qdisc
(change, graft, delete class). Since qlen changes during operations from
the second group don't propagate to ancestor qdiscs, their qlen values
become desynchronized.
This patch adds a function to propagate qlen changes up the qdisc tree,
optionally calling a callback function to perform qdisc-internal
maintenance when the child qdisc becomes empty. The follow-up patches
will convert all qdiscs to use this function where necessary.

The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the
entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about
the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur.
The two assumptions were:
- since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need
bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs,
classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless
they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in
process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context.
- since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is
necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list).
Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption
is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can
result in corruption or use-after-free.
Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding
new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by
moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc
pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still
protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed
immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback
to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.

This was simply making templates of functions and mostly causing a lot

We solve this more cleanly by having a common "struct tcf_common" that
hash worker functions contained once in act_api.c can work with.
Callers work with real action objects that have the common struct
plus their module specific struct members. You go from a common
object to the higher level one using a "to_foo()" macro which makes
use of container_of() to do the dirty work.
This also kills off act_generic.h which was only used by act_simple.c

This turns out to be a genuine bug. The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order. Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:
1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.
2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.
I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up. The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary. In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.
The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.
So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

The upper bound for HTB time diff needs to be scaled to PSCHED
units rather than just assuming usecs. The field mbuffer is used
in TDIFF_SAFE(), as an upper bound.

"return -err" and blindly inheriting the error code in the netlink
failure exception handler causes errors codes to be returned as
positive value therefore making them being ignored by the caller.
May lead to sending out incomplete netlink messages.

The TCA_ACT_KIND attribute is used without checking its
availability when dumping actions therefore leading to a
value of 0x4 being dereferenced.
The use of strcmp() in tc_lookup_action_n() isn't safe
when fed with string from an attribute without enforcing
proper NUL termination.
Both bugs can be triggered with malformed netlink message
and don't require any privileges.

This patch adds the infrastructure for generic segmentation offload.
The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware
support by postponing the allocation of segmented skb's until just
before the entry point into the NIC driver.
The same structure can be used to support software IPv6 TSO, as well as
UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.
