d23deaa07b inet_diag: Introduce socket family checks
The new API will specify family to work with. Teach the existing
socket walking code to bypass not interesting ones.

To preserve compatibility with existing behavior the _compat code
sets interesting family to AF_UNSPEC to dump them all.

25c4cd2b6d inet_diag: Switch the _dump to work with new header
Make inet_diag_dumo work with given header instead of calculating
one from the nl message.

The SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY just passes skb's one through, the compat code
converts the old header to new one.

Also fix the bytecode calculation to find one at proper offset.

d366477a52 sock_diag: Initial skeleton
When receiving the SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY message we have to find the

This patch describes an infrastructure to work with such nandlers

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.

43497cc218 ixgbe: DCB: IEEE transitions may fail to reprogram hardware.
Transitioning through an IEEE DCBX version from a CEE DCBX
and back (CEE->IEEE->CEE) may leave IEEE attributes programmed
in the hardware. DCB uses a bit field in the set routines to
determine which attributes PG, PFC, APP need to be reprogrammed.
This is needed because user flow allows queueing a series
of changes and then reprogramming the hardware with the
entire set in one operation.

When transitioning from IEEE DCBX mode back into CEE DCBX
mode the PG and PFC bits need to be set so the possibly

different CEE attributes get programmed into the device.

This patch fixes broken logic that was evaluating to 0
and never setting any bits. Further this removes some
checks for num_tc in set routines. This logic only worked
when the number of traffic classes and user priorities
were equal. This is no longer the case for X540 devices.
Besides we can trust user input in this case if the
device is incorrectly configured the DCB bandwidths will
be incorrectly mapped but no OOPs, BUG, or hardware
failure will occur.

5f4a780ddd e1000e: hitting BUG_ON() from napi_enable
Based on a patch from Mike McElroy created against the out-of-tree e1000e
driver:

Hitting the BUG_ON in napi_enable(). Code inspection shows that this can
only be triggered by calling napi_enable() twice without an intervening
napi_disable().

I saw the following sequence of events in the stack trace:

1) We simulated a cable pull using an Extreme switch.
2) e1000_tx_timeout() was entered.
3) e1000_reset_task() was called. Saw the message from e_err() in the
console log.
4) e1000_reinit_locked was called. This function calls e1000_down() and
e1000_up(). These functions call napi_disable() and napi_enable()
respectively.
5) Then on another thread, a monitor task saw carrier was down and executed
'ip set link down' and 'ip set link up' commands.
6) Saw the '_E1000_RESETTING'warning fron the e1000_close function.
7) Either the e1000_open() executed between the e1000_down() and e1000_up()
calls in step 4 or the e1000_open() call executed after the e1000_up()
call.  In either case, napi_enable() is called twice which triggers the
BUG_ON.

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()
