5110effee8 net: Do delayed neigh confirmation.
When a dst_confirm() happens, mark the confirmation as pending in the
dst.  Then on the next packet out, when we have the neigh in-hand, do
the update.

This removes the dependency in dst_confirm() of dst's having an
attached neigh.

While we're here, remove the explicit 'dst' NULL check, all except 2
or 3 call sites ensure it's not NULL.  So just fix those cases up.

60d354ebeb sunrpc: Don't do a dst_confirm() on an input routes.
xs_udp_data_ready() is operating on received packets, and tries to
do a dst_confirm() on the dst attached to the SKB.

This isn't right, dst confirmation is for output routes, not input
rights.  It's for resetting the timers on the nexthop neighbour entry
for the route, indicating that we've got good evidence that we've
successfully reached it.

Michal's monitor channel tracking introduce a locking problem
as it locked the rdev lock inside the netdev notifier which

Fix this by relying only on the RTNL to protect the interface

a1845fc7c5 mac80211: add TX prepare API
Some drivers require setup before being able to send
management frames in managed mode, in particular in
multi-channel cases.

Introduce API to allow the drivers to do such setup
while being able to sleep waiting for the setup to
finish in the device. This isn't possible inside the
TX call since that can't sleep.

A future patch may also restructure the TX retry to
wait for the driver to report the frame status, as
suggested by Arik in

4244854d22 sctp: be more restrictive in transport selection on bundled sacks
It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that
we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport.  While this isn't
a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC
2960:

 An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK,
   etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it
   received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying.  This
   rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks
   together with the reply chunk.

This patch seeks to correct that.  It restricts the bundling of sack operations
to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward
since the last sack.  By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound
saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack.  This brings
us into stricter compliance with the RFC.

Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the
transport that last moved the ctsn forward.  While this makes sense, I was
concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had
received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports.  In those cases, the
RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle
the sack on.  so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state
variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the
last sack.  This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to
our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to
enable/disable it.

03292745b0 netlink: add nlk->netlink_bind hook for module auto-loading
This patch adds a hook in the binding path of netlink.

This is used by ctnetlink to allow module autoloading for the case
in which one user executes:

 conntrack -E

So far, this resulted in nfnetlink loaded, but not
nf_conntrack_netlink.

I have received in the past many complains on this behaviour.

a31f2d17b3 netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create
This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.
