f0e28d48c8 lance: Fix hardcoded interrupt name lp->name to use system device value
The lance interrupt handler was using the hard-coded name which would make it difficult to tell where the interrupt came from. Changed to use the device name that made the interrupt.

0a67d3efa4 ipv6: compare sernum when walking fib for /proc/net/ipv6_route as safety net
This patch provides an additional safety net against NULL
pointer dereferences while walking the fib trie for the new
/proc/net/ipv6_route walkers. I never needed it myself and am unsure
if it is needed at all, but the same checks where introduced in
2bec5a369e ("ipv6: fib: fix crash when
changing large fib while dumping it") to fix NULL pointer bugs.

This patch is separated from the first patch to make it easier to revert
if we are sure we can drop this logic.

8d2ca1d7b5 ipv6: avoid high order memory allocations for /proc/net/ipv6_route
Dumping routes on a system with lots rt6_infos in the fibs causes up to
11-order allocations in seq_file (which fail). While we could switch
there to vmalloc we could just implement the streaming interface for
/proc/net/ipv6_route. This patch switches /proc/net/ipv6_route from
single_open_net to seq_open_net.

loff_t *pos tracks dst entries.

Also kill never used struct rt6_proc_arg and now unused function
fib6_clean_all_ro.

6229ed1f22 net: phy: at803x: add suspend/resume callbacks
When WOL is enabled, the chip can't be put into power-down (BMCR_PDOWN)
mode, as that will also switch off the MAC, which consequently leads to
a link loss.

Use BMCR_ISOLATE in that case, which will at least save us some
milliamperes in comparison to normal operation mode.

bonding: use neighbours instead of own lists

Veaceslav Falico says:

====================
This patchset introduces all the needed infrastructure, on top of current
adjacent lists, to be able to remove bond's slave_list/slave->list. The
overhead in memory/CPU is minimal, and after the patchset bonding can rely
on its slave-related functions, given the proper locking. I've done some
netperf benchmarks on a vm, and the delta was about 0.1gbps for 35gbps as a
whole, so no speed fluctuations.

It also automatically creates lower/upper and master symlinks in dev's
sysfs directory.

842d67a7b3 net: expose the master link to sysfs, and remove it from bond
Currently, we can have only one master upper neighbour, so it would be
useful to create a symlink to it in the sysfs device directory, the way
that bonding now does it, for every device. Lower devices from
bridge/team/etc will automagically get it, so we could rely on it.

Also, remove the same functionality from bonding.

Also, it's a subtle race condition - cause we can still access it after

4087df87b8 bonding: rework bond_ab_arp_probe() to use bond_for_each_slave()
Currently it uses the hard-to-rcuify bond_for_each_slave_from(), and also
it doesn't check every slave for disrepencies between the actual
IS_UP(slave) and the slave->link == BOND_LINK_UP, but only till we find the
next suitable slave.

Fix this by using bond_for_each_slave() and storing the first good slave in
*before till we find the current_arp_slave, after that we store the first good
slave in new_slave. If new_slave is empty - use the slave stored in before,
and if it's also empty - then we didn't find any suitable slave.

Also, in the meanwhile, check for each slave status.

77140d2951 bonding: rework bond_find_best_slave() to use bond_for_each_slave()
bond_find_best_slave() does not have to be balanced - i.e. return the slave
that is *after* some other slave, but rather return the best slave that
suits, except of bond->primary_slave - in which case we just return it if
it's suitable.

After that we just look through all the slaves and return either first up
slave or the slave whose link came back earliest.

We also don't care about curr_active_slave lock cause we use it in
bond_should_change_active() only and there we take it right away - i.e. it
won't go away.

c33d78874e bonding: rework bond_3ad_xmit_xor() to use bond_for_each_slave() only
Currently, there are two loops - first we find the first slave in an
aggregator after the xmit_hash_policy() returned number, and after that we
loop from that slave, over bonding head, and till that slave to find any
suitable slave to send the packet through.

Replace it by just one bond_for_each_slave() loop, which first loops
through the requested number of slaves, saving the first suitable one, and
after that we've hit the requested number of slaves to skip - search for
any up slave to send the packet through. If we don't find such kind of
slave - then just send the packet through the first suitable slave found.

Logic remains unchainged, and we skip two loops. Also, refactor it a bit
for readability.

2f268f129c net: add adj_list to save only neighbours
Currently, we distinguish neighbours (first-level linked devices) from
non-neighbours by the neighbour bool in the netdev_adjacent. This could be
quite time-consuming in case we would like to traverse *only* through
neighbours - cause we'd have to traverse through all devices and check for
this flag, and in a (quite common) scenario where we have lots of vlans on
top of bridge, which is on top of a bond - the bonding would have to go
through all those vlans to get its upper neighbour linked devices.

This situation is really unpleasant, cause there are already a lot of cases
when a device with slaves needs to go through them in hot path.

To fix this, introduce a new upper/lower device lists structure -
adj_list, which contains only the neighbours. It works always in
pair with the all_adj_list structure (renamed from upper/lower_dev_list),
i.e. both of them contain the same links, only that all_adj_list contains
also non-neighbour device links. It's really a small change visible,
currently, only for __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert/remove(), and doesn't
change the main linked logic at all.

Also, add some comments a fix a name collision in
netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu() and rework the naming by the following
rules:

netdev_(all_)(upper|lower)_*

If "all_" is present, then we work with the whole list of upper/lower
devices, otherwise - only with direct neighbours. Uninline functions - to
get better stack traces.

Fix this by just passing the correct upper/lower_dev_list list_head pointer
instead of bool upper, and work internally with it.

4ed377e36e net: neighbour: use source address of last enqueued packet for solicitation
Currently we always use the first member of the arp_queue to determine
the sender ip address of the arp packet (or in case of IPv6 - source
address of the ndisc packet). This skb is fixed as long as the queue is
not drained by a complete purge because of a timeout or by a successful
response.

If the first packet enqueued on the arp_queue is from a local application
with a manually set source address and the to be discovered system
does some kind of uRPF checks on the source address in the arp packet
the resolving process hangs until a timeout and restarts. This hurts
communication with the participating network node.

This could be mitigated a bit if we use the latest enqueued skb's
source address for the resolving process, which is not as static as
the arp_queue's head. This change of the source address could result in
better recovery of a failed solicitation.

a958df5dc3 rtlwifi: Remove extern from function prototypes
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
