Thomas Graf 7be994138b dcbnl: Shorten all command handling functions
Allocating and sending the skb in dcb_doit() allows for much
shorter and cleaner command handling functions.

The huge switch statement is replaced with an array based definition
of the handling function and reply message type.

Conflicts:
	MAINTAINERS
	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c

The iwlwifi conflict was resolved by keeping the code added
in 'net' that turns off the buggy chip feature.

The MAINTAINERS conflict was merely overlapping changes, one
change updated all the wireless web site URLs and the other
changed some GIT trees to be Johannes's instead of John's.

Michel Machado 95603e2293 net-next: add dev_loopback_xmit() to avoid duplicate code
Add dev_loopback_xmit() in order to deduplicate functions
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv4/ip_output.c) and
ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c).

I was about to reinvent the wheel when I noticed that
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() and ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() do exactly what I
need and are not IP-only functions, but they were not available to reuse
elsewhere.

ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() does not have line "skb_dst_force(skb);", but I
understand that this is harmless, and should be in dev_loopback_xmit().

Use skb_header_pointer()/skb_copy_bits() instead of pskb_may_pull() so
that recv_probe handlers (bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv / bond_arp_rcv /

Eric Dumazet 5ee31c6898 bonding: Fix corrupted queue_mapping
In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to
stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its
own queue mapping.  This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is
also used in __dev_xmit_skb.

When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is
called from dev_queue_xmit.  In bond_select_queue the original
skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping)
and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue.

Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes
the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed
queue mappping.  In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit),
the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now
the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device.

If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to
add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with
other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...)

This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8
bytes :

netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without
misalignment penalty.

Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[].
The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it.

Based on a previous patch from Tom Herbert.

Thomas Graf d0daebc3d6 ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.

The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.

This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.

Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

Example:
  $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
  $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local
  $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0
  $ ip route flush cache

Amitkumar Karwar 658f37b736 mwifiex: scan less channels per scan command to improve Tx traffic
Currently 4 channels are scanned per scan command. if scan request
is issued by user during Tx traffic, radio will be out of channel
for "4 * per_chan_scan_time" for each scan command and will not be
able to receive Rx packets. This adds delay in data traffic. We can
minimize it by reducing number of channels scanned per scan command
in this scenario.

We can not always scan 1 channel per scan command due to limitation
of number of command buffers. So we add code to decide number of
channels scanned per scan command in associated state.

Amitkumar Karwar 3249ba7376 mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problem
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.

This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.

This implementation can deal with having many inetpeer roots, which is

Each family (AF_INET, AF_INET6) has a sequence number which we bump

root we are using is out of date, and if so flushes it and updates

David S. Miller 46517008e1 ipv4: Kill ip_rt_frag_needed().
There is zero point to this function.

It's only real substance is to perform an extremely outdated BSD4.2
ICMP check, which we can safely remove.  If you really have a MTU
limited link being routed by a BSD4.2 derived system, here's a nickel
go buy yourself a real router.

The other actions of ip_rt_frag_needed(), checking and conditionally
updating the peer, are done by the per-protocol handlers of the ICMP
event.

TCP, UDP, et al. have a handler which will receive this event and
transmit it back into the associated route via dst_ops->update_pmtu().

This simplification is important, because it eliminates the one place
where we do not have a proper route context in which to make an
inetpeer lookup.

Eric Dumazet 16b0dc29c1 dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls
Trying to "modprobe dummy numdummies=30000" triggers :

INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 8} (t=60000 jiffies)

After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed.

We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL.

Roland Dreier c5d21c4b2a net: Reorder initialization in ip_route_output to fix gcc warning
If I build with W=1, for every file that includes <net/route.h>, I get the warning

    include/net/route.h: In function 'ip_route_output':
    include/net/route.h:135:3: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
    include/net/route.h:135:3: warning: (near initialization for 'fl4') [-Woverride-init]

(This is with "gcc (Debian 4.6.3-1) 4.6.3")

A fix seems pretty trivial: move the initialization of .flowi4_tos
earlier.  As far as I can tell, this has no effect on code generation.

Eric Dumazet 83a27052c3 virtio-net: fix a race on 32bit arches
commit 3fa2a1df90 (virtio-net: per cpu 64 bit stats (v2)) added a race
on 32bit arches.

We must use separate syncp for rx and tx path as they can be run at the
same time on different cpus. Thus one sequence increment can be lost and
readers spin forever.

françois romieu 7dbb491878 r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay.
While reworking the r8169 driver a few months ago to perform the
smallest amount of work in the irq handler, I took care of avoiding
any irq mask register operation in the slow work dedicated user
context thread. The slow work thread scheduled an extra round of NAPI
work which would ultimately set the irq mask register as required,
thus keeping such irq mask operations in the NAPI handler.
It would eventually race with the irq handler and delay NAPI execution
for - assuming no further irq - a whole ksoftirqd period. Mildly a
problem for rare link changes or corner case PCI events.

The race was always lost after the last bh disabling lock had been
removed from the work thread and people started wondering where those
pesky "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages came from.

Actually the irq mask register _can_ be set up directly in the slow
work thread.
