3b446c3e15 forcedeth: limit tx to 16
This is a critical patch which adds a workaround for a HW bug. The patch
will limit the number of outstanding tx packets to 16. Otherwise, the HW
could send out packets with bad checksums.

The driver will still setup the tx packets into the ring, however, will
only set the Valid bit on 16 packets at a time.

cd7e903440 cxgb3: Fix transmit queue stop mechanism
The last change in the Tx queue stop mechanism opens a window
where the Tx queue might be stopped after pending credits
returned.

Tx credits are returned via a control message generated by the HW.
It returns tx credits on demand, triggered by a completion bit
set in selective transmit packet headers.

The current code can lead to the Tx queue stopped
with all pending credits returned, and the current frame
not triggering a credit return. The Tx queue will then never be
awaken.

The driver could alternatively request a completion for packets
that stop the queue. It's however safer at this point to go back
to the pre-existing behaviour.

10d0f27c1b rndis_host: fix transfer size negotiation
This patch should resolve a problem that's troubled support for
some RNDIS peripherals.  It seems to have boiled down to using a
variable to establish transfer size limits before it was assigned,
which caused those devices to fallback to a default "jumbogram"
mode we don't support.  Fix by assigning it earlier for RNDIS.

4373c9327f NEWEMAC: fix support for pause packets
Problem Description and Fix
---------------------------
When a pause packet(with destination as reserved Multicast address) is
received by the EMAC hardware to control the flow of frames being
transmitted by it, it is dropped by the hardware unless the reserved
Multicast address is hashed in to the GAHT[1-4] registers. This code fix
adds the default reserved multicast address to the GAHT[1-4] registers
in the EMAC(s) present on the chip. The flow control with Pause packets
will only work if the following register bits are programmed in EMAC:
EMACx_MR1[APP] = 1
EMACx_RMR[BAE] = 1
EMACx_RMR[MAE] = 1

Behavior that may be observed in a running system
-------------------------------------------------
A host transferring data from a PPC based system may send a Pause packet
to the PPC EMAC requesting it to slow down the flow of packets. If the
default reserved multicast MAC address is not programmed into the
GAHT[1-4] registers this Pause packet will be dropped by PPC EMAC and no
Flow Control will be done.

c1e889be18 PS3: gelic: change the prefix of the net interface for wireless
The gelic driver uses two net interfaces, one for ethernet and the
other for wireless. They share same MAC address and use 'eth' prefix
for the name.
As udev uses the MAC address to check uniqueness, this is
somewhat problematic.  So change the prefix of the network interface
name for the wireless so that udev can have an easy way to distinguish
interfaces.

aad4c7d3a6 PS3: gelic: ignore scan info from zero SSID beacons
Some implementations of the hidden SSID APs emit beacons which have the zero
length SSID information element instead of SSID padded by null (\0) characters.
If the firmware of the PS3 wireless hardware meets these beacons, it abandons parsing
IEs. Thus guest OSes get the invalid scan information for the AP.

To work around this, ignore these scan informations from the list.

    [IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_info

    The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6.  It's also currently
    creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst.  Therefore this patch
    moves it from there into struct rt6_info.

Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member
__refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before
lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next
cache line. The performance is recovered.

I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry.

With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement.

1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So
   sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I
   tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to
   different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on
   performance.  If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move
   tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics.

2) Add comments before __refcnt.

On 16-core tigerton:

If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18%
better than the one without the patch;

If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30%
better than the one without the patch.

With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't
introduce regression.

Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!

to be sent was the last in the write queue while the receiver window

tcp_write_queue_tail() if also cwnd was smaller than the full skb.

4f4c9430cf [NETFILTER]: xt_time: fix failure to match on Sundays
From: Andrew Schulman <andrex@alumni.utexas.net>

xt_time_match() in net/netfilter/xt_time.c in kernel 2.6.24 never
matches on Sundays. On my host I have a rule like

    iptables -A OUTPUT -m time --weekdays Sun -j REJECT

and it never matches. The problem is in localtime_2(), which uses

    r->weekday = (4 + r->dse) % 7;

to map the epoch day onto a weekday in {0,...,6}. In particular this
gives 0 for Sundays. But 0 has to be wrong; a weekday of 0 can never
match. xt_time_match() has

    if (!(info->weekdays_match & (1 << current_time.weekday)))
        return false;

and when current_time.weekday = 0, the result of the & is always
zero, even when info->weekdays_match = XT_TIME_ALL_WEEKDAYS = 0xFE.

e9720acd72 [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)
Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current
implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed.

The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has
fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different
net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but
currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any
other namespace, depending on who opened the file first.

The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points
to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in
/proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the
appropriate task lives in.

# ls -l /proc/net
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Mar  5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net

In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike
"mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.

Changes from v2:
* Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling
  screwup pointed out by Stephen.

  To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net
  is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry.

  To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized
  properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent.

Selinux fixes are

Changes from v1:
* Fixed a task_struct leak in get_proc_task_net, pointed out by Paul.

1ff82fe002 RxRPC: fix rxrpc_recvmsg()'s returning of msg_name
Fix rxrpc_recvmsg() to return msg_name correctly.  We shouldn't
overwrite the *msg struct, but should rather write into msg->msg_name
(there's a '&' unary operator that shouldn't be there).
