72b43d0898 inet6: prevent network storms caused by linux IPv6 routers
Linux IPv6 forwards unicast packets, which are link layer multicasts...
The hole was present since day one. I was 100% this check is there, but it is not.

The problem shows itself, f.e. when Microsoft Network Load Balancer runs on a network.
This software resolves IPv6 unicast addresses to multicast MAC addresses.

2f46e07995 netfilter: ebtables: make broute table work again
broute table init hook sets up the "br_should_route_hook" pointer,
which then gets called from br_input.

commit a386f99025
(bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook)
introduced a typedef, and then changed this to:

br_should_route_hook_t *rhook;
[..]
rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook);
if (*rhook(skb))

problem is that "br_should_route_hook" contains the address of the function,
so calling *rhook() results in kernel panic.

13ee6ac579 netfilter: fix race in conntrack between dump_table and destroy
The netlink interface to dump the connection tracking table has a race
when entries are deleted at the same time. A customer reported a crash
and the backtrace showed thatctnetlink_dump_table was running while a
conntrack entry was being destroyed.
(see https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6402).

According to RCU documentation, when using hlist_nulls the reader
must handle the case of seeing a deleted entry and not proceed
further down the linked list.  The old code would continue
which caused the scan to walk into the free list.

This patch uses locking (rather than RCU) for this operation which
is guaranteed safe, and no longer requires getting reference while
doing dump operation.

c191a836a9 tcp: disallow bind() to reuse addr/port
inet_csk_bind_conflict() logic currently disallows a bind() if
it finds a friend socket (a socket bound on same address/port)
satisfying a set of conditions :

1) Current (to be bound) socket doesnt have sk_reuse set
OR
2) other socket doesnt have sk_reuse set
OR
3) other socket is in LISTEN state

We should add the CLOSE state in the 3) condition, in order to avoid two
REUSEADDR sockets in CLOSE state with same local address/port, since
this can deny further operations.

Note : a prior patch tried to address the problem in a different (and
buggy) way. (commit fda48a0d7a tcp: bind() fix when many ports
are bound).

545ecdc3b3 arp: allow to invalidate specific ARP entries
IPv4 over firewire needs to be able to remove ARP entries
from the ARP cache that belong to nodes that are removed, because
IPv4 over firewire uses ARP packets for private information
about nodes.

This information becomes invalid as soon as node drops
off the bus and when it reconnects, its only possible
to start talking to it after it responded to an ARP packet.
But ARP cache prevents such packets from being sent.

80ce3f67e7 cxgb4vf: fix mailbox data/control coherency domain race
For the VFs, the Mailbox Data "registers" are actually backed by
T4's "MA" interface rather than PL Registers (as is the case for
the PFs).  Because these are in different coherency domains, the
write to the VF's PL-register-backed Mailbox Control can race in
front of the writes to the MA-backed VF Mailbox Data "registers".
So we need to do a read-back on at least one byte of the VF Mailbox
Data registers before doing the write to the VF Mailbox Control
register.

83723d6071 netfilter: x_tables: dont block BH while reading counters
Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules have a too big BH latency.
Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops.

Switch to a per_cpu seqlock scheme, so that taking a snapshot of
counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus).

This adds two increments on seqlock sequence per ipt_do_table() call,
its a reasonable cost for allowing "iptables -L" not block BH
processing.

incorrectly in ixgbe_type.h.

69830529b2 ixgbe: further flow director performance optimizations
This change adds a compressed input type for atr signature hash
computation.  It also drops the use of the set functions when setting up
the ATR input since we can then directly setup the hash input as two dwords
that can be stored and passed as registers.

With these changes the cost of computing the has is low enough that we can
perform a hash computation on each TCP SYN flagged packet allowing us to
drop the number of flow director misses considerably in tests such as
netperf TCP_CRR.

Some Phys supported by the driver do not remain powered off across a reset
of the device when the interface is down, e.g. on 82571, but not on 82574.
This patch powers down (only when WoL is disabled) the PHY after a reset if
the interface is down and the ethtool diagnostics are not currently running.

The ethtool diagnostic function required a minor re-factor as a result, and
the e1000_[get|put]_hw_control() functions are renamed since they are no
longer static to netdev.c as they are needed by the ethtool diagnostics.
A couple minor whitespace issues were cleaned up, too.

482fed85e6 e1000e: convert calls of ops.[read|write]_reg to e1e_[r|w]phy
Cleans up the code a bit by using the driver-specific e1e_rphy and
e1e_wphy macros instead of the full function pointer variants.  Fix
a couple whitespace issue with two already existing calls to e1e_wphy.

dd93f95e92 e1000e: cleanup variables set but not used
The ICR register is clear on read and we don't care what the returned value
is when resetting the hardware so the icr variable(s) can be removed.  We
should not ignore the return from e1000_lv_jumbo_workaround_ich8lan() and
from e1000_get_phy_id_82571() (dump a debug message when it fails and when
an unknown Phy id is returned).

0363466866 net offloading: Convert checksums to use centrally computed features.
In order to compute the features for other offloads (primarily
scatter/gather), we need to first check the ability of the NIC to
offload the checksum for the packet.  Since we have already computed
this, we can directly use the result instead of figuring it out
again.

02932ce9e2 net offloading: Convert skb_need_linearize() to use precomputed features.
This switches skb_need_linearize() to use the features that have
been centrally computed.  In doing so, this fixes a problem where
scatter/gather should not be used because the card does not support
checksum offloading on that type of packet.  On device registration
we only check that some form of checksum offloading is available if
scatter/gatther is enabled but we must also check at transmission
time.  Examples of this include IPv6 or vlan packets on a NIC that
only supports IPv4 offloading.

91ecb63c07 net offloading: Convert dev_gso_segment() to use precomputed features.
This switches dev_gso_segment() to use the device features computed
by the centralized routine.  In doing so, it fixes a problem where
it would always use dev->features, instead of those appropriate
to the number of vlan tags if any are present.

fc741216db net offloading: Pass features into netif_needs_gso().
Now that there is a single function that can compute the device
features relevant to a packet, we don't want to run it for each
offload.  This converts netif_needs_gso() to take the features
of the device, rather than computing them itself.

f01a5236bd net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().
netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(),
so it only concerns itself with GSO features.  However, several other
places also should take into account the contents of the packet when
deciding whether to offload to hardware.  This generalizes the function
to return features about all of the various forms of offloading.  Since
offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic
in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum
logic).
