The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

MPC8360 QE UCC ethernet controllers hang when changing link duplex
under a load (a bit of NFS activity is enough).
PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Up - 1000/Full
sh-3.00# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex half autoneg off
PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Down
PHY: mdio@e0102120:00 - Link is Up - 100/Half

------------[ cut here ]------------
Badness at c01fcbd0 [verbose debug info unavailable]
NIP: c01fcbd0 LR: c01fcbd0 CTR: c0194e44
...
The cure is to disable the controller before changing speed/duplex
and enable it afterwards.
Though, disabling the controller might take quite a while, so we
better not grab any spinlocks in adjust_link(). Instead, we quiesce
the driver's activity, and only then disable the controller.

Kalle Olavi Niemitalo reported that:
"..., when one process calls sendmsg once to send 43804 bytes of
data and one file descriptor, and another process then calls recvmsg
three times to receive the 16032+16032+11740 bytes, each of those
recvmsg calls returns the file descriptor in the ancillary data. I
confirmed this with strace. The behaviour differs from Linux
2.6.26, where reportedly only one of those recvmsg calls (I think
the first one) returned the file descriptor."
This bug was introduced by a patch from me titled "net: unix: fix inflight
counting bug in garbage collector", commit 6209344f5.
And the reason is, quoting Kalle:
"Before your patch, unix_attach_fds() would set scm->fp = NULL, so
that if the loop in unix_stream_sendmsg() ran multiple iterations,
it could not call unix_attach_fds() again. But now,
unix_attach_fds() leaves scm->fp unchanged, and I think this causes
it to be called multiple times and duplicate the same file
descriptors to each struct sk_buff."
Fix this by introducing a flag that is cleared at the start and set
when the fds attached to the first buffer. The resulting code should
work equivalently to the one on 2.6.26.

When new child qdiscs are attached to the mq qdisc, they are actually
attached as root qdiscs to the device queues. The lock selection for
new estimators incorrectly picks the root lock of the existing and
to be replaced qdisc, which results in a use-after-free once the old
qdisc has been destroyed.
Mark mq qdisc instances with a new flag and treat qdiscs attached to
mq as children similar to regular root qdiscs.
Additionally prevent estimators from being attached to the mq qdisc
itself since it only updates its byte and packet counters during dumps.

The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.
After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.
The symptoms of this problem:
- Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
- Low throughput when bitrate was fixed
Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
- Problems with DHCP
- Broken connections due to lack of probe response
This should fix at least:

Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
