Origional commit message:
Allow retransmission of cloned buffers
This patch fixes an issue with TIPC's message retransmission logic
that prevented retransmission of clone sk_buffs. Originally intended
as a means of avoiding wasted work in retransmitting messages that
were still on the driver's outbound queue, it also prevented TIPC
from retransmitting messages through other means -- such as the
secondary bearer of the broadcast link, or another interface in a
set of bonded interfaces. This fix removes existing checks for
cloned sk_buffs that prevented such retransmission.

from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git
Origional commit message:
Increase frequency of load distribution over broadcast link
This patch enhances the behavior of TIPC's broadcast link so that it
alternates between redundant bearers (if available) after every
message sent, rather than after every 10 messages. This change helps
to speed up delivery of retransmitted messages by ensuring that
they are not sent repeatedly over a bearer that is no longer working,
but not yet recognized as failed.
Tested by myself in the latest net-2.6 tree using the tipc sanity test suite

`ip -s link` shows interface counters truncated to 32 bit. This is
because interface statistics are transported only in 32-bit quantity
to userspace. This commit adds a new IFLA_STATS64 attribute that

This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS). RPS
distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
packet load. This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
of other CPUs. This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
performed on packets in parallel. For each device (or each receive queue in
a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
into the CPU mask. The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
softirqs between CPUs. This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
(e.g. the Toeplitz hash). This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
steering it to a remote CPU.
The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
/sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus. This is a set of canonical
bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>). If a device
does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
queue device with good CPU utilization. Optimal settings for the CPU mask
seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy. Below are some results
running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
e1000e on 8 core Intel
Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
With RPS: 311K tps at 64% CPU
forcedeth on 16 core AMD
Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
With RPS: 404K tps at 49% CPU
bnx2x on 16 core AMD
Without RPS 567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Without RPS 738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
With RPS: 854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
Caveats:
- The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
- This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet. In
a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
- The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets. It's
probably best not change the masks too frequently.

set_page_dirty() unconditionally re-enables interrupts, so
if we call it with irqs off, they will be on after the call,
and that's bad. This patch moves the call after we've re-enabled

rds_poll_waitq's listeners will be awoken if we receive a congestion

contend for this single lock. However, it should not be necessary to
wake pollers when a congestion update arrives if they have never

We have two kinds of loopback: software (via loop transport)
and hardware (via IB). sw is used for 127.0.0.1, and doesn't
support rdma ops. hw is used for sends to local device IPs,
and supports rdma. Both are used in different cases.
For both of these, when there is a congestion map update, we
want to call rds_cong_map_updated() but not actually send
anything -- since loopback local and foreign congestion maps
point to the same spot, they're already in sync.
The old code never called sw loop's xmit_cong_map(),so
rds_cong_map_updated() wasn't being called for it. sw loop
ports would not work right with the congestion monitor.
Fixing that meant that hw loopback now would send congestion maps
to itself. This is also undesirable (racy), so we check for this
case in the ib-specific xmit code.

Finally decided I should fix this. Its a straightforward inversion,
tipc_ref_acquire takes two locks in this order:
ref_table_lock
entry->lock
while tipc_deleteport takes them in this order:
entry->lock (via tipc_port_lock())
ref_table_lock (via tipc_ref_discard())
when the same entry is referenced, we get the above warning. The fix is equally
straightforward. Theres no real relation between the entry->lock and the
ref_table_lock (they just are needed at the same time), so move the entry->lock
aquisition in tipc_ref_acquire down, after we unlock ref_table_lock (this is
safe since the ref_table_lock guards changes to the reference table, and we've
already claimed a slot there. I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it
clears up the lockdep issue

This patch fixes UDP socket refcnt bugs in the pppol2tp driver.
A bug can cause a kernel stack trace when a tunnel socket is closed.
A way to reproduce the issue is to prepare the UDP socket for L2TP (by
opening a tunnel pppol2tp socket) and then close it before any L2TP
sessions are added to it. The sequence is
Create UDP socket
Create tunnel pppol2tp socket to prepare UDP socket for L2TP
pppol2tp_connect: session_id=0, peer_session_id=0
L2TP SCCRP control frame received (tunnel_id==0)
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_hold()
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_put
L2TP ZLB control frame received (tunnel_id=nnn)
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_hold()
pppol2tp_recv_core: sock_put
Close tunnel management socket
pppol2tp_release: session_id=0, peer_session_id=0
Close UDP socket
udp_lib_close: BUG
The addition of sock_hold() in pppol2tp_connect() solves the problem.
For data frames, two sock_put() calls were added to plug a refcnt leak
per received data frame. The ref that is grabbed at the top of
pppol2tp_recv_core() must always be released, but this wasn't done for
accepted data frames or data frames discarded because of bad UDP
checksums. This leak meant that any UDP socket that had passed L2TP
data traffic (i.e. L2TP data frames, not just L2TP control frames)
using pppol2tp would not be released by the kernel.

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:
commit 6c8afef551
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date: Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530
ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
index = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);
BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);
I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.
This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

After testing, we found that TX_STA_FIFO_MCS is the last MCS value
tried. If the transmission failed, 8 frames have been transmitted. If the
transmission succeed, we can easily compute the number of retry. This patch fix
the way status is reported to mac80211 rate control. It has 2 bugs :
1. mcs can contain the short preamble flag and it will lead to wrong
computations.
2. minstrel nearly always say that 54 Mbits is the best rate, even if we are
very far from the AP

This is an implementation that support WCID being the encryption key.
Wireless Cli Id was set to be the encryption key in rt2800pci_write_tx_desc
and read (TX_STA_FIFO_WCID) as the current queue entry index.

bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode
It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it
OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by
br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to
a non-null value).
Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that
BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev
(as set in br_handle_frame_finish first)
only holds until br_forward is called.
The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails.
Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes
it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The
same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent
skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit
b33084be19 ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary
clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes
this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33.
I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been
modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used
and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

Since all callers of br_mdb_ip_get need to check whether the
hash table is NULL, this patch moves the check into the function.
This fixes the two callers (query/leave handler) that didn't
check it.

A few subdevice IDs seem to have been dropped when hfc_multi was
included upstream, just compare the list at
http://www.openvox.cn/viewvc/misdn/trunk/hfc_multi.c?revision=75&view=annotate#l175
with the IDs in drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c
Added PCIe 2 Port card and LED settings (same as PCI)

dccp: fix panic caused by failed initialisation
This fixes a kernel panic reported thanks to Andre Noll:
if DCCP is compiled into the kernel and any out of the initialisation
steps in net/dccp/proto.c:dccp_init() fail, a subsequent attempt to create
a SOCK_DCCP socket will panic, since inet{,6}_create() are not prevented
from creating DCCP sockets.
This patch fixes the problem by propagating a failure in dccp_init() to
dccp_v{4,6}_init_net(), and from there to dccp_v{4,6}_init(), so that the
DCCP protocol is not made available if its initialisation fails.

Calling tty_buffer_request_room() before tty_insert_flip_string()
is unnecessary, costs CPU and for big buffers can mess up the
multi-page allocation avoidance.

In RING handling, clear the table of received parameter strings in
a loop like everywhere else, instead of by enumeration which had
already gotten out of sync.
