e76b69cc01 net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

7af3351f71 ethtool: Don't flush n-tuple list from ethtool_reset()
The n-tuple list should be flushed if and only if the ETH_RESET_FILTER
flag is set and the driver is able to reset filtering/flow direction
hardware without also resetting a component whose flag is not set.
This test is best left to the driver.

54716e3beb net neigh: Decouple per interface neighbour table controls from binary sysctls
Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by
counting the number of binary sysctls.  This behaviour was silly
and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting
without also adding another binary sysctl.

Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries
into neigh_sysctl_register.  These parameters are no longer
used and so are just dead code.

Kernel bugzilla #15239

On some workloads, it is quite possible to get a huge dst list to
process in dst_gc_task(), and trigger soft lockup detection.

Fix is to call cond_resched(), as we run in process context.

4d0392be21 net/core/sock.c: quiet sparse noise
In sock_getsockopt the symbol 'lv' is declared as an
unsigned int type, probably due to sizeof returning a
size_t which is really an unsigned int.

This produces a sparse warning for SO_PEERNAME due to
the sock->ops->getname() call:

warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different signedness)
   expected int *sockaddr_len
   got unsigned int *<noident>

Quiet the warning by changing the type of 'lv' to an int.

2d13bafeba net: Make it easier to parse /proc/net/dev contents.
The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because
it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not.
It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter,
if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces
else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space
between the ":" and the number.

This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space
between the ":" and the number.  Given that all existing userspace
application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see
no breakage of existing tools.

This patch fixes up a problem with found with commit
1f3c8804ac.  The original change
overloaded null_or_orig, but doing that prevented any packet handlers
that were not tied to a specific device (i.e. ptype->dev == NULL) from
ever receiving any frames.

The null_or_orig variable cannot be overloaded, and must be kept as NULL
to prevent the frame from being ignored by packet handlers designed to
accept frames on any interface.

d90a909e1f net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications.
I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access
files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet.

The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of
register_netdevice().

When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK
events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK
events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK.  Things practically guaranteed
to confuse userspace.

After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to
be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering
unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages.

rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and
NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace
notifications.

e93737b0f0 net: Handle NETREG_UNINITIALIZED devices correctly
Fix two problems:

1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered
   and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out
   when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing
   of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the
   remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's
   are leaked/unregistered.

2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed,
   since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully
   processed.

Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan
devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows:
	1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo
	   ("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become
	    free. Usage count = 1")
	2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration
	   and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops
	   during subsequent registration.

Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases.

e9c5158ac2 net: Allow fib_rule_unregister to batch
Refactor the code so fib_rules_register always takes a template instead
of the actual fib_rules_ops structure that will be used.  This is
required for network namespace support so 2 out of the 3 callers already
do this, it allows the error handling to be made common, and it allows
fib_rules_unregister to free the template for hte caller.

Modify fib_rules_unregister to use call_rcu instead of syncrhonize_rcu
to allw multiple namespaces to be cleaned up in the same rcu grace
period.

commit d124356ce314fff22a047ea334379d5105b2d834

    net: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule

    Allow to delete the local rule and recreate it with a higher priority. This
    can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead
    of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules
    with a priority of 0.

    Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can
    be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this:

    # move local rule to lower priority
    ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local
    ip rule del pref 0

    # route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant
    # of the destination address
    ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100
    ip route add default dev eth0 table 100
