75f2811c64 ipv6: Add fragment reporting to ipv6_skip_exthdr().
While parsing through IPv6 extension headers, fragment headers are
skipped making them invisible to the caller.  This reports the
fragment offset of the last header in order to make it possible to
determine whether the packet is fragmented and, if so whether it is
a first or last fragment.

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.

34324dc2bf net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit
Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.

For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

515853ccec bridge: allow forwarding some link local frames
This is based on an earlier patch by Nick Carter with comments
by David Lamparter but with some refinements. Thanks for their patience
this is a confusing area with overlap of standards, user requirements,
and compatibility with earlier releases.

It adds a new sysfs attribute
   /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask
that controls forwarding of frames with address of: 01-80-C2-00-00-0X
The default setting has no forwarding to retain compatibility.

One change from earlier releases is that forwarding of group
addresses is not dependent on STP being enabled or disabled. This
choice was made based on interpretation of tie 802.1 standards.
I expect complaints will arise because of this, but better to follow
the standard than continue acting incorrectly by default.

The filtering mask is writeable, but only values that don't forward
known control frames are allowed. It intentionally blocks attempts
to filter control protocols. For example: writing a 8 allows
forwarding 802.1X PAE addresses which is the most common request.

b64b73d7d0 bridge: leave carrier on for empty bridge
This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging.
Some users use the bridge like a dummy device.
They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device
with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing
this, there is no reason to not allow it.

Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the
bridge if there are any added.

77f9859837 bridge: fix ordering of NEWLINK and NEWNEIGH events
When port is added to a bridge, the old code would send the new neighbor
netlink message before the subsequent new link message. This bug makes
it difficult to use the monitoring API in an application.

This code changes the ordering to add the forwarding entry
after the port is setup. One of the error checks (for invalid address)
is moved earlier in the process to avoid having to do unwind.

4bc71cb983 net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling
This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
  from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
  iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
  fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
  problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
  dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
  so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
  are from other places.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code

This means we br_add_if/br_del_if ports to implement hand-over and

This means we can also change MAC of port device and also not wind

What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as
root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU
doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that
the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state.

The root cause of this is that the configuration messages
is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before
sending.

In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be:
  the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by
  the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU.

Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when
recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time
elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

f0da7ee410 net, netfilter: Remove redundant goto in ebt_ulog_packet
In net/bridge/netfilter/ebt_ulog.c:ebt_ulog_packet() the 'goto unlock'
before the 'alloc_failure' label is completely redundant. This patch
removes it.

d3aaeb38c4 net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_ops
In the future dst entries will be neigh-less.  In that environment we
need to have an easy transition point for current users of
dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path.

8f40b161de neigh: Pass neighbour entry to output ops.
This will get us closer to being able to do "neigh stuff"
completely independent of the underlying dst_entry for
protocols (ipv4/ipv6) that wish to do so.

We will also be able to make dst entries neigh-less.

f6b72b6217 net: Embed hh_cache inside of struct neighbour.
Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour
and hh_cache entries, we no longer need:

1) dynamic allocation
2) attachment to dst->hh
3) refcounting

Initialization of the hh_cache entry is indicated by hh_len
being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with
the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

44661462ee bridge: Always flood broadcast packets
As is_multicast_ether_addr returns true on broadcast packets as
well, we need to explicitly exclude broadcast packets so that
they're always flooded.  This wasn't an issue before as broadcast
packets were considered to be an unregistered multicast group,
which were always flooded.  However, as we now only flood such
packets to router ports, this is no longer acceptable.

bd4265fe36 bridge: Only flood unregistered groups to routers
The bridge currently floods packets to groups that we have never
seen before to all ports.  This is not required by RFC4541 and
in fact it is not desirable in environment where traffic to
unregistered group is always present.

This patch changes the behaviour so that we only send traffic
to unregistered groups to ports marked as routers.

The user can always force flooding behaviour to any given port
by marking it as a router.

Note that this change does not apply to traffic to 224.0.0.X
as traffic to those groups must always be flooded to all ports.
