4fa48bf3c7 tcp: fix tcp_trim_head()
commit f07d960df3 (tcp: avoid frag allocation for small frames)
breaked assumption in tcp stack that skb is either linear (skb->data_len
== 0), or fully fragged (skb->data_len == skb->len)

tcp_trim_head() made this assumption, we must fix it.

Thanks to Vijay for providing a very detailed explanation.

7d31130428 caif: Stash away hijacked skb destructor and call it later
This patch adds functionality for avoiding orphaning SKB too early.
The original skb is stashed away and the original destructor is called
from the hi-jacked flow-on callback. If CAIF interface goes down and a
hi-jacked SKB exists, the original skb->destructor is restored.

0e4c7d85d5 caif: Add support for flow-control on device's tx-queue
Flow control is implemented by inspecting the qdisc queue length
in order to detect potential overflow on the TX queue. When a threshold
is reached flow-off is sent upwards in the CAIF stack. At the same time
the skb->destructor is hi-jacked by orphaning the SKB and the original
destructor is replaced with a "flow-on" callback. When the "hi-jacked"
SKB is consumed the queue should be empty, and the "flow-on" callback
is called and xon is sent upwards in the CAIF stack.

7ad65bf68d caif: Add support for CAIF over CDC NCM USB interface
NCM 1.0 does not support anything but Ethernet framing, hence
CAIF payload will be put into Ethernet frames.

Discovery is based on fixed USB vendor 0x04cc (ST-Ericsson),
product-id 0x230f (NCM). In this variant only CAIF payload is sent over
the NCM interface.

The CAIF stack (cfusbl.c) will when USB interface register first check if
we got a CDC NCM USB interface with the right VID, PID.
It will then read the device's Ethernet address and create a 'template'
Ethernet TX header, using a broadcast address as the destination address,
and EthType 0x88b5 (802.1 Local Experimental - vendor specific).

A protocol handler for 0x88b5 is setup for reception of CAIF frames from
the CDC NCM USB interface.

117632e64d tcp: take care of misalignments
We discovered that TCP stack could retransmit misaligned skbs if a
malicious peer acknowledged sub MSS frame. This currently can happen
only if output interface is non SG enabled : If SG is enabled, tcp
builds headless skbs (all payload is included in fragments), so the tcp
trimming process only removes parts of skb fragments, header stay
aligned.

Some arches cant handle misalignments, so force a head reallocation and
shrink headroom to MAX_TCP_HEADER.

Dont care about misaligments on x86 and PPC (or other arches setting
NET_IP_ALIGN to 0)

This patch introduces __pskb_copy() which can specify the headroom of
new head, and pskb_copy() becomes a wrapper on top of __pskb_copy()

ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines
act as such devices.

I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna
Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001

In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to
setup min_th (target average queue size)
(max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup)

By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change()

if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q))
	red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

First, if queue is empty, we should call
red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is
meaningless.

Oh well...

[PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change()

Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty,
we start an idle period, not end it.

d984e6197e dccp: Fix compile warning in probe code.
Commit 1386be55e3 ("dccp: fix
auto-loading of dccp(_probe)") fixed a bug but created a new
compiler warning:

net/dccp/probe.c: In function ‘dccpprobe_init’:
net/dccp/probe.c:166:2: warning: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Wparentheses]

try_then_request_module() is built for situations where the
"existence" test is some lookup function that returns a non-NULL
object on success, and with a reference count of some kind held.

Here we're looking for a success return of zero from the jprobe
registry.

Instead of fighting the way try_then_request_module() works, simply
open code what we want to happen in a local helper function.

b03b6dd58c bridge: master device stuck in no-carrier state forever when in user-stp mode
When in user-stp mode, bridge master do not follow state of its slaves, so
after the following sequence of events it can stuck forever in no-carrier
state:
1) turn stp off
2) put all slaves down - master device will follow their state and also go in
no-carrier state
3) turn stp on with bridge-stp script returning 0 (go to the user-stp mode)
Now bridge master won't follow slaves' state and will never reach running
state.

This patch solves the problem by making user-stp and kernel-stp behavior
similar regarding master following slaves' states.

7bc0f28c7a netem: rate extension
Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.

To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used.  But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.

Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.

This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit

To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps

Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

5b8b0060cb neigh: Get rid of neigh_table->kmem_cachep
We are going to alloc for device specific private areas for
neighbour entries, and in order to do that we have to move
away from the fixed allocation size enforced by using
neigh_table->kmem_cachep

As a nice side effect we can now use kfree_rcu().

218fa90f07 ipv4: fix lockdep splat in rt_cache_seq_show
After commit f2c31e32b3 (fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()),
dst_get_neighbour() should be guarded by rcu_read_lock() /
rcu_read_unlock() section.

f7e57044ee sch_teql: fix lockdep splat
We need rcu_read_lock() protection before using dst_get_neighbour(), and
we must cache its value (pass it to __teql_resolve())

teql_master_xmit() is called under rcu_read_lock_bh() protection, its
not enough.

d8a6e65f8b tcp: inherit listener congestion control for passive cnx
Rick Jones reported that TCP_CONGESTION sockopt performed on a listener
was ignored for its children sockets : right after accept() the
congestion control for new socket is the system default one.

This seems an oversight of the initial design (quoted from Stephen)

Based on prior investigation and patch from Rick.
