On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.
Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.
This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill. This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.
While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

Bluetooth: Fix connection establishment with low security requirement
The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes
that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the
usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except
the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement
mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using
Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required
since it causes interoperability issues.
To support this properly the low security requirement translates into
different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is
supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to
switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered
for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes
the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing
a lot simpler.
Based on a report by Ville Tervo <ville.tervo@nokia.com>
Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy Pairing
The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
triggered.
If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
broken devices now.

net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.

Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure

gro: Fix handling of headers that extend over the tail
The skb_gro_* code fails to handle the case where a header starts
in the linear area but ends in the frags area. Since the goal
of skb_gro_* is to optimise the case of completely non-linear
packets, we can simply bail out if we have anything in the linear
area.

It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.
With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.
With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:

tun: add IFF_TUN_EXCL flag to avoid opening a persistent device.
When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.
There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.
So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.

drop_monitor: Update netlink protocol to include netlink attribute header in alert message
When I initially implemented this protocol, I disregarded the use of netlink
attribute headers, thinking for my purposes they weren't needed. I've come to
find out that, as I'm starting to work with sending down messages with
associated data (like config messages), the kernel code spits out warnings about
trailing data in a netlink skb that doesn't have an associated header on it. As
such, I'm going to start including attribute headers in my netlink transaction,
and so for completeness, I should likely include them on messages bound from the
kernel to user space. This patch adds that header to the kernel, and bumps the
protocol version accordingly

wrong. This was needed for pre-release hardware, and was not removed from
the driver. Also, we need to clear the WUS (wake up status) after we

asserted in the hardware. Plus, the multicast lists were being written

bonding: ignore updelay param when there is no active slave
Pointed out by Sean E. Millichamp.
Quote from Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
"Note that when a bonding interface has no active links, the
driver will immediately reuse the first link that goes up, even if the
updelay parameter has been specified (the updelay is ignored in this
case). If there are slave interfaces waiting for the updelay timeout
to expire, the interface that first went into that state will be
immediately reused. This reduces down time of the network if the
value of updelay has been overestimated, and since this occurs only in
cases with no connectivity, there is no additional penalty for
ignoring the updelay."
This patch actually changes the behaviour in this way.
