ipv4: Remove fib_hash.
The time has finally come to remove the hash based routing table
implementation in ipv4.
FIB Trie is mature, well tested, and I've done an audit of it's code
to confirm that it implements insert, delete, and lookup with the same
identical semantics as fib_hash did.
If there are any semantic differences found in fib_trie, we should
simply fix them.
I've placed the trie statistic config option under advanced router
configuration.

ipv4: Consolidate all default route selection implementations.
Both fib_trie and fib_hash have a local implementation of
fib_table_select_default(). This is completely unnecessary
code duplication.
Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib
alias list of the default route, we can implement one single
generic version of this routine.
Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression
that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in
the table for the default route. The truth is, it isn't, the
insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero
prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all
keys in a hash table must be unique.

batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packets
The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with
the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments
can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven
length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that
the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL.
The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible
to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads.
The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to
remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly
unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the
configured MTUs.

The routing algorithm must know how large two fragments are to be able to
decide that it is safe to merge them or if it should resubmit without waiting
for the second part. When these two fragments have a too different size, it is
not possible to guess right in every situation.
The user could easily configure the MTU of the attached cards so that one
fragment is forwarded and the other one is added to the fragments table to wait
for the missing part.
For even sized packets, it is possible to split it so that the resulting
packages are equal sized by ignoring the old non-fragment header at the
beginning of the original packet.
This still creates different sized fragments for uneven sized packets.

batman-adv: Make vis info stack traversal threadsafe
The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information
about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected
with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it.
The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack
and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will
be initiated without the lock which protects the stack.
The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that
it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the
current element in the list. The list may be modified during the
unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer
not pointing to correct next element.
It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no
elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which
would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

net: Add compat ioctl support for the ipv4 multicast ioctl SIOCGETSGCNT
SIOCGETSGCNT is not a unique ioctl value as it it maps tio SIOCPROTOPRIVATE +1,
which unfortunately means the existing infrastructure for compat networking
ioctls is insufficient. A trivial compact ioctl implementation would conflict
with:
SIOCAX25ADDUID
SIOCAIPXPRISLT
SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6
SIOCGETSGCNT
SIOCRSSCAUSE
SIOCX25SSUBSCRIP
SIOCX25SDTEFACILITIES
To make this work I have updated the compat_ioctl decode path to mirror the
the normal ioctl decode path. I have added an ipv4 inet_compat_ioctl function
so that I can have ipv4 specific compat ioctls. I have added a compat_ioctl
function into struct proto so I can break out ioctls by which kind of ip socket
I am using. I have added a compat_raw_ioctl function because SIOCGETSGCNT only
works on raw sockets. I have added a ipmr_compat_ioctl that mirrors the normal
ipmr_ioctl.
This was necessary because unfortunately the struct layout for the SIOCGETSGCNT
has unsigned longs in it so changes between 32bit and 64bit kernels.
This change was sufficient to run a 32bit ip multicast routing daemon on a
64bit kernel.

net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.
We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

On older kernels the VLAN code may zero skb->dev before dropping

Unfortunately we didn't reset skb->dev in that case which causes
the next GRO user to get a bogus skb->dev pointer.
This particular problem no longer happens with the current upstream
kernel due to changes in VLAN processing.
However, for correctness we should still reset the skb->dev pointer

They are bogus. The basic idea is that I wanted to make sure

The test I used was whether RTF_CACHE was set.
But first of all, the RTF_CACHE flag is set at different spots
depending upon which ip6_rt_copy() caller you're talking about.
I've validated all of the code paths, and even in the future
where we bind peers more aggressively (for route metric COW'ing)
we never bind to prefix'd routes, only fully specified ones.

xen: netfront: handle incoming GSO SKBs which are not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial
checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB
which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a
partial checksum).
However there have been cases of buggy guests which mark a frame as
GSO but do not set csum_blank. If we detect that we a receiving such a
frame (which manifests as ip_summed != PARTIAL && skb_is_gso) then
force the SKB to partial and recalculate the checksum, since we cannot
rely on the peer having done so if they have not set csum_blank.
Add an ethtool stat to track occurances of this event.

net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.
Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.
The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.
For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.
Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.
But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.
TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.
Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.
Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.
The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

TCP: fix a bug that triggers large number of TCP RST by mistake
This patch fixes a bug that causes TCP RST packets to be generated
on otherwise correctly behaved applications, e.g., no unread data
on close,..., etc. To trigger the bug, at least two conditions must
be met:
1. The FIN flag is set on the last data packet, i.e., it's not on a
separate, FIN only packet.
2. The size of the last data chunk on the receive side matches
exactly with the size of buffer posted by the receiver, and the
receiver closes the socket without any further read attempt.
This bug was first noticed on our netperf based testbed for our IW10
proposal to IETF where a large number of RST packets were observed.
netperf's read side code meets the condition 2 above 100%.
Before the fix, tcp_data_queue() will queue the last skb that meets
condition 1 to sk_receive_queue even though it has fully copied out
(skb_copy_datagram_iovec()) the data. Then if condition 2 is also met,
tcp_recvmsg() often returns all the copied out data successfully
without actually consuming the skb, due to a check
"if ((chunk = len - tp->ucopy.len) != 0) {"
and
"len -= chunk;"
after tcp_prequeue_process() that causes "len" to become 0 and an
early exit from the big while loop.
I don't see any reason not to free the skb whose data have been fully
consumed in tcp_data_queue(), regardless of the FIN flag. We won't
get there if MSG_PEEK is on. Am I missing some arcane cases related
to urgent data?

ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect macversion and macrev checks
There are few places where we are checking for macversion and revsions
before RTC is powered ON. However we are reading the macversion and
revisions only after RTC is powered ON and so both macversion and
revisions are actully zero and this leads to incorrect srev checks
Incorrect srev checks can cause registers to be configured wrongly and can
cause unexpected behavior. Fixing this seems to address the ASPM issue that
we have observed. The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1
enabled without this fix.
fix this by reading the macversion and revisisons even before we start
using them. There is no reason why should we delay reading this info
until RTC is powered on as this is just a register information.
