ipv6: Fix incorrect disable_ipv6 behavior
Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure()
to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects.
If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1,
but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then
immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be
added in the first place. This also lets the user set this flag
and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire
system.

Even after commit "mac80211: deauth when interface is marked down"

goes down. There isn't a problem with this commit, but because of other
code changes it doesn't work on kernels >= 2.6.28 (works if same/similar
change applied on 2.6.27 for example).
The issue is as follows: after commit "mac80211: restructure disassoc/deauth
flows" in 2.6.28, the call to ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate added by
commit e327b847 will not work: because we do sta_info_flush(local, sdata)
inside ieee80211_stop (iface.c), all stations in interface are cleared, so
when calling ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate->ieee80211_set_disassoc (mlme.c),
inside ieee80211_set_disassoc we have this in the beginning:
sta = sta_info_get(local, ifsta->bssid);
if (!sta) {
The !sta check triggers, thus the function returns early and
ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo(sdata, ifsta) later isn't called, so
wpa_supplicant/userspace isn't notified with SIOCGIWAP.
This commit moves deauthentication to before flushing STA info
(sta_info_flush), thus the above can't happen and userspace is really
notified when interface goes down.

mac80211: handle failed scan requests in STA mode

the scan function or the cfg80211_scan_done to be called. In case of

If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for
some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still
thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future
scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up.
If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If
ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset
and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests.

In addition, fix the ACM-based AC downgrade code to not use the

correct AC_BK value (3) instead of returning 0 (which would indicate
AC_VO). The comment here was not really very useful either, so let's
provide somewhat more helpful description of the situation.
Since it is very unlikely that the ACM flag would be set for AC_BK and
AC_BE, these bugs are not likely to be seen in real life networks.
Anyway, better do these things correctly should someone really use
silly AP configuration (and to pass some functionality tests, too).
Remove the TODO comment about handling ACM. Downgrading AC is

NEXTHDR_NONE doesn't has an IPv6 option header, so the first check

NEXTHDR_NONE before length sanity checkings are done.

We currently use the negative value in the conntrack code to encode

NF_DROP makes no sense and, as a result, no packets are ever dropped.

tcp: make sure xmit goal size never becomes zero
It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted
packets (must hit the max guard in tcp_bound_to_half_wnd()).
It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems
and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from
hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero
sized segments we would generate do though in write queue).
Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.

tcp: cache result of earlier divides when mss-aligning things
The results is very unlikely change every so often so we
hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a
connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we
detect that and do the right thing and again settle for
non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously
taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.
This should take care part of the tso vs non-tso difference
we found earlier.

tcp: simplify tcp_current_mss
There's very little need for most of the callsites to get
tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is,
so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the
tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(),
so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock
at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit
hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to
change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16
xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining
divide to get that tso on regression).
Bring xmit_goal_size parts into tcp.c

pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete.
While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858
I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero
refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and
destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen
like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after
delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is
always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock.
This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls
were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug
in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds,
which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

This might explain why Kenny Chang noticed that his multicast workload

This litle patch moves "wait" field next "fasync_list" so that both
fields share a single cache line, to speedup sock_def_readable()
