Eric Dumazet ce81b76a39 ipv6: use RCU to walk list of network devices
No longer need read_lock(&dev_base_lock), use RCU instead.

William Allen Simpson bee7ca9ec0 net: TCP_MSS_DEFAULT, TCP_MSS_DESIRED
Define two symbols needed in both kernel and user space.

Remove old (somewhat incorrect) kernel variant that wasn't used in
most cases.  Default should apply to both RMSS and SMSS (RFC2581).

Replace numeric constants with defined symbols.

Patrick McHardy 572a9d7b6f net: allow to propagate errors through ->ndo_hard_start_xmit()
Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return
one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for
virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of
layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels.

This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX
codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either
errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value.

In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK
since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of
dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

Yury Polyanskiy 9e0d57fd6d xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resume
This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine 
in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because 
after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while 
it has already been expired on the remote server.

  The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to 
the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.

  I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any
issues.

  This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra
(commit 9ba5f0).

  This patch is against 2.6.31.4. Please CC me.

Eric W. Biederman 81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

Johannes Berg af81858172 mac80211: async station powersave handling
Some devices require that all frames to a station
are flushed when that station goes into powersave
mode before being able to send frames to that
station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
frames being sent to the station when it polls.

Normally, this is the case unless the station
goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
But in that case, frames for it may be pending
on the hardware queues, and thus races could
happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
sure the race doesn't happen.

This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
per-station flag that can be controlled by the
driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
frames or not. This flag must be set according to
very specific rules outlined in the documentation
for the function that controls it.

When we buffer new frames for the station, we
normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
the TIM bit.

Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
need to wait until all other frames are flushed
before we can transmit frames to that station,
so the same applies here, we need to wait for
the driver to give the OK.

Jozsef Kadlecsik f9dd09c7f7 netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+
Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.

The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

Matt Carlson 32e5a8d651 tg3 / broadcom: Add code to disable rxc refclk
The 5785 does not use the RXC reference clock.  Turning it off is
desirable as it saves power.

By default, the 50610 enables the RXC reference clock and the 50610M
disables it.  Presumably this is one of the reasons why the hardware
architect chose one over the other.

Adding a "rx reference clock disable" flag is not the ideal way to
describe the option, as it would force the MAC using a 50610M to set
the flag.  Ideally we want the flags to represent opt-in behavior that
deviates from hardware defaults.  Furthermore, the lack of a
"disable" flag implies that the requester wants the rx reference clock
enabled, which doesn't necessarily follow.

By presenting the option as a passive statement (rx reference clock
unused) rather than a command, I hope to convey an opt-in option to
disable the rx reference clock that falls back to hardware defaults if
not set.  A secondary benefit of this is that it keeps the
intelligence about phy defaults in the broadcom module where it belongs
and allows the broadcom module more latitude should a bug arise.

Since it is unused anyway, this patch deprecates it
in the hope that drivers will remove their sometimes
quite expensive calculations of the value.

I'm open to actual uses of the value, but the best
way of using it seems to be what the Intel drivers do
which should probably be generalised if we have noise
values from the hardware.

Johannes Berg eddcbb94f7 mac80211: introduce ieee80211_beacon_get_tim()
Compared to ieee80211_beacon_get(), the new function
ieee80211_beacon_get_tim() returns information on the
location and length of the TIM IE, which some drivers
need in order to generate the TIM on the device. The
old function, ieee80211_beacon_get(), becomes a small
static inline wrapper around the new one to not break
all drivers.

Johannes Berg 0869aea0eb mac80211: remove RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP
While there may be a case for a driver adding its
own bits of radiotap information, none currently
does. Also, drivers would have to copy the code
to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211
generates. If some driver in the future needs to
add some driver-specific information I'd expect
that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we
can add a different way of passing such data up
and having mac80211 include it.

Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to
IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by
b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps.

The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX
code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged
skb support.

      mac80211: make rx radiotap header more flexible

code was added that tried to align the radiotap header
position in memory based on the radiotap header length.
Quite obviously, that is completely useless.

Instead of trying to do that, use unaligned accesses
to generate the radiotap header. To properly do that,
we also need to mark struct ieee80211_radiotap_header
packed, but that is fine since it's already packed
(and it should be marked packed anyway since its a
wire format).
