bridge: Add multicast_router sysfs entries
This patch allows the user to forcibly enable/disable ports as
having multicast routers attached. A port with a multicast router
will receive all multicast traffic.
The value 0 disables it completely. The default is 1 which lets
the system automatically detect the presence of routers (currently
this is limited to picking up queries), and 2 means that the port
will always receive all multicast traffic.

bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support
This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support
without actually hooking it up. So this patch should be a no-op
as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned.
All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option
BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING. A run-time toggle is also available.
The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is
lockless on the read-side through RCU. On the write-side the
new multicast_lock is used for all operations. The hash table
supports dynamic growth/rehashing.
The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
preset limit. If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
length then snooping will be disabled.
These features may be added in future (in no particular order):
* IGMPv3 source support
* Non-querier router detection
* IPv6

This changes ordering of some operations, in particular:

As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when

- The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked

- net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead

Instead of allocating 128 struct netdev_queue per device, use the

ixgbe: do not stop tx queues in ixgbe_set_tso
Disabling TSO can cause the dev_watchdog timer to be triggered because
when TSO is disabled netif_tx_stop_all_queues is called. If the watchdog
timer fires while the queues are stopped and traffic has not recently been
sent on a paticular queue this is falsly identified as a hang and
ndo_tx_timeout() is called. This is ocossionally seen during testing.
This removes the netif_tx_stop_all_queues() it is not needed. The scheduler
submits skb's with dev_hard_start_xmit(), this checks if netif_needs_gso and
if so it calls dev_gso_segment. Disabling TSO will cause dev_hard_start_xmit()
to do the gso processing. However ixgbe does not use the features flags to
determine if it needs to use tso or not instead it uses skb->gso_size so
ixgbe will process these frames correctly regardless of the netdev features
flag.

net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue
Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.
I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

iwlwifi: increase command buffer size
Increase the buffer size for commands with "huge"
bit set. This has been recently observed for 6050 cards where
for even with huge bit set few commands were not properly allocated
memory with the command overwriting the buffer allocated for it..
Also add a check to see if command size exceeds the
maximum allowable size.
The goal of "iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure"
is to first detect when data transmission stalls and then to recover from
this situation with a reset of the radio or the firmware, depending on how
bad the transmission failures are.
Unfortunately we have found that this change causes excessive resets with
its current detection algorithm. It also performs its recovery action when
none is really needed, like when we are not associated.
Revert this change until the issues have been addressed.
