c89af1a308 bnx2x: avoid TX timeout when stopping device
When stop device call netif_carrier_off() just after disabling TX queue to

a0ba676008 bnx2: Use netif_carrier_off() to prevent timeout.
Based on original patch from Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>.

Using netif_carrier_off() is better than updating all the ->trans_start
on all the tx queues.

netif_carrier_off() needs to be called after bnx2_disable_int_sync()
to guarantee no race conditions with the serdes timers that can
modify the carrier state.

If the chip or phy is reset, carrier will turn back on when we get the
link interrupt.  If there is no reset, we need to turn carrier back on
in bnx2_netif_start().  Again, the phy_lock prevents race conditions with
the serdes timers.

ad2864d887 netdev: bfin_mac: deduce Ethernet FCS from hardware IP payload checksum
IP checksum is based on 16-bit one's complement algorithm, so to deduce a
value from checksum is equal to add its complement.

Unfortunately, the Blackfin on-chip MAC checksum logic only works when the
IP packet has a header length of 20 bytes.  This is true for most IPv4
packets, but not for IPv6 packets or IPv4 packets which use header options.
So only use the hardware checksum when appropriate.

f6e1e4f3e5 netdev: bfin_mac: invalid data cache only once for each new rx skb buffer
The skb buffer isn't actually used until we finish transferring and pass
it up to higher layers, so only invalidate the range once before we start
receiving actual data.  This also avoids the problem with data invalidating
on Blackfin systems -- there is no invalidate-only, just invalidate+flush.
So when running in writeback mode, there is the small (but not uncommon)
possibility of the flush overwriting valid DMA-ed data from the cache.

7fee226ad2 net: add a noref bit on skb dst
Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted.

Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched.

skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but
with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current
user is not rcu protected.

New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb.
(with lockdep check)

skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted.

skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb
is queued and not anymore RCU protected.

Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if
!IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in
sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue().

Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb().

Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it
later to do one dirtying per jiffies.

      IFLA_VF_MAC
      IFLA_VF_VLAN
      IFLA_VF_TX_RATE

This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired.
Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state.

The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like
something to consider for 2.6.34.

a465419b1f net: Introduce sk_route_nocaps
TCP-MD5 sessions have intermittent failures, when route cache is
invalidated. ip_queue_xmit() has to find a new route, calls
sk_setup_caps(sk, &rt->u.dst), destroying the 

sk->sk_route_caps &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK

that MD5 desperately try to make all over its way (from
tcp_transmit_skb() for example)

So we send few bad packets, and everything is fine when
tcp_transmit_skb() is called again for this socket.

Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a
socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.

3b098e2d7c net: Consistent skb timestamping
With RPS inclusion, skb timestamping is not consistent in RX path.

If netif_receive_skb() is used, its deferred after RPS dispatch.

If netif_rx() is used, its done before RPS dispatch.

This can give strange tcpdump timestamps results.

I think timestamping should be done as soon as possible in the receive
path, to get meaningful values (ie timestamps taken at the time packet
was delivered by NIC driver to our stack), even if NAPI already can
defer timestamping a bit (RPS can help to reduce the gap)

Tom Herbert prefer to sample timestamps after RPS dispatch. In case
sampling is expensive (HPET/acpi_pm on x86), this makes sense.

Let admins switch from one mode to another, using a new
sysctl, /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_tstamp_prequeue

Its default value (1), means timestamps are taken as soon as possible,
before backlog queueing, giving accurate timestamps.

Setting a 0 value permits to sample timestamps when processing backlog,
after RPS dispatch, to lower the load of the pre-RPS cpu.

(e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13).

Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this
patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write
operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not
acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the
number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other
errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

e0f43752a9 bridge: update sysfs link names if port device names have changed
Links for each port are created in sysfs using the device
name, but this could be changed after being added to the
bridge.

As well as being unable to remove interfaces after this
occurs (because userspace tools don't recognise the new
name, and the kernel won't recognise the old name), adding
another interface with the old name to the bridge will
cause an error trying to create the sysfs link.

This fixes the problem by listening for NETDEV_CHANGENAME
notifications and renaming the link.

28a16c9796 bridge: change console message interface
Use one set of macro's for all bridge messages.

Note: can't use netdev_XXX macro's because bridge is purely
virtual and has no device parent.
