This patch fixes several problems in the call path of
netpoll_send_skb_on_dev():
1. Disable IRQ's before calling netpoll_send_skb_on_dev().
2. All the callees of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() should use
rcu_dereference_bh() to dereference ->npinfo.
3. Rename arp_reply() to netpoll_arp_reply(), the former is too generic.

In __netpoll_rx(), it dereferences ->npinfo without rcu_dereference_bh(),
this patch fixes it by using the 'npinfo' passed from netpoll_rx()
where it is already dereferenced with rcu_dereference_bh().

Currently we have no way to assign tty->port while performing tty
installation. There are two ways to provide the link tty_struct =>
tty_port. Either by calling tty_port_install from tty->ops->install or
tty_port_register_device called instead of tty_register_device when
the device is being set up after connected.
In this patch we modify most of the drivers to do the latter. When the
drivers use tty_register_device and we have tty_port already, we
switch to tty_port_register_device. So we have the tty_struct =>
tty_port link for free for those.

Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by
queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work().
Most conversions are straight-forward. Ones worth mentioning are,
* drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always
use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in
edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped.
* drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether
watchdog is active or not. @fan_watchdog_active and related code
dropped.
* drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of
delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here.
[delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like
this. I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler(). Please
conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended
target state rather than trying to game work item pending state
transitions. e.g. if timer should be modified - call
mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().
* drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
delay used by delayed_work.
v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it
from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are
dropped.

Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h:
Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one
example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle
of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system
can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality,
it's probably not BUG-worthy.
If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up
really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where
users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly.
In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides,
the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel
side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag
right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to
TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this
will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply
remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal
consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in
this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.

This patch:
- changes the SIP address parsing function to enforce square brackets
when required, and accept them when not required but present, as
recommended by RFC 5118.
- adds a new SDP address parsing function that never accepts square
brackets since SDP doesn't use them.

pointer, but this field is NULL for unicast_sock
It turns out that unicast_sock are really temporary stuff to be able
to reuse part of IP stack (ip_append_data()/ip_push_pending_frames())
Fact is that frames sent by ip_send_unicast_reply() should be orphaned
to not fool LSM.
Note IPv6 never had this problem, as tcp_v6_send_response() doesnt use a
fake socket at all. I'll probably implement tcp_v4_send_response() to

IPVS is missing the logic to update PMTU in routing
for its IPIP packets. We monitor the dst_mtu and can return
FRAG_NEEDED messages but if the tunneled packets get ICMP
error we can not rely on other traffic to save the lowest
MTU.
The following patch adds ICMP handling for IPIP
packets in incoming direction, from some remote host to
our local IP used as saddr in the outer header. By this
way we can forward any related ICMP traffic if it is for IPVS
TUN connection. For the special case of PMTUD we update the
routing and if client requested DF we can forward the
error.
To properly update the routing we have to bind
the cached route (dest->dst_cache) to the selected saddr
because ipv4_update_pmtu uses saddr for dst lookup.
Add IP_VS_RT_MODE_CONNECT flag to force such binding with
second route.
Update ip_vs_tunnel_xmit to provide IP_VS_RT_MODE_CONNECT
and change the code to copy DF. For now we prefer not to
force PMTU discovery (outer DF=1) because we don't have
configuration option to enable or disable PMTUD. As we
do not keep any packets to resend, we prefer not to
play games with packets without DF bit because the sender
is not informed when they are rejected.
Also, change ops->update_pmtu to be called only
for local clients because there is no point to update
MTU for input routes, in our case skb->dst->dev is lo.
It seems the code is copied from ipip.c where the skb
dst points to tunnel device.

Strictly speaking this is only _really_ required for checkpoint-restore to
make loopback device always have the same index.
This change appears to be safe wrt "ifindex should be unique per-system"
concept, as all the ifindex usage is either already made per net namespace
of is explicitly limited with init_net only.
There are two cool side effects of this. The first one -- ifindices of
devices in container are always small, regardless of how many containers
we've started (and re-started) so far. The second one is -- we can speed
up the loopback ifidex access as shown in the next patch.

[Resending again, as the text was corrupted by the email client]
To speed up operations, QFQ internally divides classes into
groups. Which group a class belongs to depends on the ratio between
the maximum packet length and the weight of the class. Unfortunately
the function qfq_change_class lacks the steps for changing the group
of a class when the ratio max_pkt_len/weight of the class changes.
For example, when the last of the following three commands is
executed, the group of class 1:1 is not correctly changed:
tc disc add dev XXX root handle 1: qfq
tc class add dev XXX parent 1: qfq classid 1:1 weight 1
tc class change dev XXX parent 1: classid 1:1 qfq weight 4
Not changing the group of a class does not affect the long-term
bandwidth guaranteed to the class, as the latter is independent of the
maximum packet length, and correctly changes (only) if the weight of
the class changes. In contrast, if the group of the class is not
updated, the class is still guaranteed the short-term bandwidth and
packet delay related to its old group, instead of the guarantees that
it should receive according to its new weight and/or maximum packet
length. This may also break service guarantees for other classes.
This patch adds the missing operations.

When installing a flow with an action to set a particular field we
need to validate that the packets that are part of the flow actually
contain that header. With IP we use zeroed addresses and with TCP/UDP
the check is for zeroed ports. This check is overly broad and can catch
packets like DHCP requests that have a zero source address in a
legitimate header. This changes the check to look for a zeroed protocol
number for IP or for both ports be zero for TCP/UDP before considering
the header to not exist.

While playing with CoDel and ECN marking, I discovered a
non optimal behavior of receiver of CE (Congestion Encountered)
segments.
In pathological cases, sender has reduced its cwnd to low values,
and receiver delays its ACK (by 40 ms).
While RFC 3168 6.1.3 (The TCP Receiver) doesn't explicitly recommend
to send immediate ACKS, we believe its better to not delay ACKS, because
a CE segment should give same signal than a dropped segment, and its
quite important to reduce RTT to give ECE/CWR signals as fast as
possible.
Note we already call tcp_enter_quickack_mode() from TCP_ECN_check_ce()
if we receive a retransmit, for the same reason.

We have two problems here :
1) GRO reorders packets
If NIC gave packet1, then packet2, which happen to be from "different
flows" GRO feeds stack with packet2, then packet1. I have yet to
understand how to solve this problem.
2) GRO is not ECN friendly
Delivering packets out of order makes TCP stack not as fast as it could
be.
In this patch I suggest we make the tos test not part of the 'same_flow'
determination, but part of the 'should flush' logic

IPv6 needs a cookie in dst_check() call.
We need to add rx_dst_cookie and provide a family independent
sk_rx_dst_set(sk, skb) method to properly support IPv6 TCP early demux.
