When VLAN header stripping is used, packets currently bypass packet

tipc: Optimization to multicast name lookup algorithm
This patch simplifies and speeds up TIPC's algorithm for identifying
on-node and off-node destinations that overlap a multicast name
sequence range. Rather than traversing the list of all known name
publications within the cluster, it now traverses the (potentially
much shorter) list of name publications made by the node itself, and
determines if any off-node destinations exist by comparing the sizes
of the two lists. (Since the node list must be a subset of the
cluster list, a difference in sizes means that at least one off-node
destination must exist.)

tun: Fix/rewrite packet filtering logic
Please see the following thread to get some context on this
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2
Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in
the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken.
Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and
confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely.
To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues:
- Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the
character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets
are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong.
- Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like
shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but
in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter.
- ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter
got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which
made filter totaly useless.
- Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid
unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call.
The list goes on and on :)
So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for
setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering
before enqueuing the packets.
TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in
which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when
the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to
setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other
hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the
host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.

mac80211: make master netdev handling sane
Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
saving stations.)
Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
the list of interfaces either.
This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
- no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
lets me remove a lot of tests for that
- no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used
Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called

rt2x00: Fix NULL pointer error in adhoc/master mode
As soon as an interface is enabled, and that interface is in adhoc or master mode,
the device will start raising beacondone interrupts. But before the first interrupt is
raised, mac80211 will probably not have send any beacons to the device yet, which
results in a NULL pointer error when the skb is being freed.
Note that the "raise beacondone interrupts without a beacon" is also a bug,
and will be addressed later. The more important bug however is preventing
the NULL pointer failt itself, since there might be other conditions that could trigger
it as well.

This corrects an error in the computation of the open loss interval I_0:
* the interval length is (highest_seqno - start_seqno) + 1
* and not (highest_seqno - start_seqno).
This condition was not fully clear in RFC 3448, but reflects the current
revision state of rfc3448bis and is also consistent with RFC 4340, 6.1.1.
Further changes:
----------------
* variable renamed due to line length constraints;
* explicit typecast to `s64' to avoid implicit signed/unsigned casting.
This fixes a bug in the logic of the TFRC loss detection:
* new_loss_indicated() should not be called while a loss is pending;
* but the code allows this;
* thus, for two subsequent gaps in the sequence space, when loss_count
has not yet reached NDUPACK=3, the loss_count is falsely reduced to 1.
To avoid further and similar problems, all loss handling and loss detection is
now done inside tfrc_rx_hist_handle_loss(), using an appropriate routine to
track new losses.
Further changes:
----------------
* added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when
rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes
care of packet reordering during loss detection;
* made tfrc_rx_hist_loss_pending() bool (thanks to an earlier suggestion
by Arnaldo);
* removed unused functions.
RFC 4340, 7.7 specifies up to 6 bytes for the NDP Count option, whereas the code
is currently limited to up to 3 bytes. This seems to be a relict of an earlier
draft version and is brought up to date by the patch.
The TFRC loss detection code used the wrong loss condition (RFC 4340, 7.7.1):
* the difference between sequence numbers s1 and s2 instead of
* the number of packets missing between s1 and s2 (one less than the distance).
Since this condition appears in many places of the code, it has been put into a
separate function, dccp_loss_free().
Further changes:
----------------
* tidied up incorrect typing (it was using `int' for u64/s64 types);
* optimised conditional statements for common case of non-reordered packets;
* rewrote comments/documentation to match the changes.

net: add netif_napi_del function to allow for removal of napistructs
Adds netif_napi_del function which is used to remove the napi struct from

The motivation for adding this is to handle the case in which the number of

napi structs for each queue would be left in the list until the netdev was
freed.
