Following patch adds GRE protocol offload handler so that
skb_gso_segment() can segment GRE packets.
SKB GSO CB is added to keep track of total header length so that
skb_segment can push entire header. e.g. in case of GRE, skb_segment
need to push inner and outer headers to every segment.
New NETIF_F_GRE_GSO feature is added for devices which support HW
GRE TSO offload. Currently none of devices support it therefore GRE GSO
always fall backs to software GSO.

When a user adds bridge neighbors, allow him to specify VLAN id.
If the VLAN id is not specified, the neighbor will be added
for VLANs currently in the ports filter list. If no VLANs are
configured on the port, we use vlan 0 and only add 1 entry.

Add a netlink interface to add and remove vlan configuration on bridge port.
The interface uses the RTM_SETLINK message and encodes the vlan

Patch cef401de7be8c4e (net: fix possible wrong checksum
generation) fixed wrong checksum calculation but it broke TSO by
defining new GSO type but not a netdev feature for that type.
net_gso_ok() would not allow hardware checksum/segmentation
offload of such packets without the feature.
Following patch fixes TSO and wrong checksum. This patch uses
same logic that Eric Dumazet used. Patch introduces new flag
SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG if at least one frag can be modified by
the user. but SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is kept in skb shared
info tx_flags rather than gso_type.
tx_flags is better compared to gso_type since we can have skb with
shared frag without gso packet. It does not link SHARED_FRAG to
GSO, So there is no need to define netdev feature for this.

This functionality is used for restoring tcp sockets. A tcp timestamp
depends on how long a system has been running, so it's differ for each
host. The solution is to set a per-socket offset.
A per-socket offset for a TIME_WAIT socket is inherited from a proper
tcp socket.
tcp_request_sock doesn't have a timestamp offset, because the repair
mode for them are not implemented.

The CPSW switch can act as Dual EMAC by segregating the switch ports
using VLAN and port VLAN as per the TRM description in
14.3.2.10.2 Dual Mac Mode
Following CPSW components will be common for both the interfaces.
* Interrupt source is common for both eth interfaces
* Interrupt pacing is common for both interfaces
* Hardware statistics is common for all the ports
* CPDMA is common for both eth interface
* CPTS is common for both the interface and it should not be enabled on
both the interface as timestamping information doesn't contain port
information.
Constrains
* Reserved VID of One port should not be used in other interface which will
enable switching functionality
* Same VID must not be used in both the interface which will enable switching
functionality

__netpoll_rcu_free is used to free netpoll structures when the rtnl_lock is
already held. The mechanism is used to asynchronously call __netpoll_cleanup
outside of the holding of the rtnl_lock, so as to avoid deadlock.
Unfortunately, __netpoll_cleanup modifies pointers (dev->np), which means the
rtnl_lock must be held while calling it. Further, it cannot be held, because
rcu callbacks may be issued in softirq contexts, which cannot sleep.
Fix this by converting the rcu callback to a work queue that is guaranteed to
get scheduled in process context, so that we can hold the rtnl properly while
calling __netpoll_cleanup
Tested successfully by myself.

VM Sockets allows communication between virtual machines and the hypervisor.
User level applications both in a virtual machine and on the host can use the
VM Sockets API, which facilitates fast and efficient communication between
guest virtual machines and their host. A socket address family, designed to be
compatible with UDP and TCP at the interface level, is provided.
Today, VM Sockets is used by various VMware Tools components inside the guest
for zero-config, network-less access to VMware host services. In addition to
this, VMware's users are using VM Sockets for various applications, where
network access of the virtual machine is restricted or non-existent. Examples
of this are VMs communicating with device proxies for proprietary hardware
running as host applications and automated testing of applications running
within virtual machines.
The VMware VM Sockets are similar to other socket types, like Berkeley UNIX
socket interface. The VM Sockets module supports both connection-oriented
stream sockets like TCP, and connectionless datagram sockets like UDP. The VM
Sockets protocol family is defined as "AF_VSOCK" and the socket operations
split for SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.
For additional information about the use of VM Sockets, please refer to the
VM Sockets Programming Guide available at:

The BCM4785 or sometimes named BMC4705 is a Broadcom SoC which a
Gigabit 5750 Ethernet core. The core is connected via PCI with the rest
of the SoC, but it uses some extension.
This core does not use a firmware or an eeprom.
Some devices only have a switch which supports 100MBit/s, this
currently does not work with this driver.
This patch was original written by Michael Buesch <m@bues.ch> and is in
OpenWrt for some years now.
This was tested on a Linksys WRT610N V1 and older versions of this patch
were tested by other people on different devices.

Amir Vadai says:
====================
This series from Yan Burman adds support for unicast MAC address filtering and
ndo FDB operations. It also includes some optimizations to loopback related
decisions and checks in the TX/RX fast path and one cleanup, all in separate
patches.
Today, when adding macvlan devices, the NIC goes into promiscuous mode, since
unicast MAC filtering is not supported. With these changes, macvlan devices can
be added without the penalty of promiscuous mode.
If for some reason adding a unicast address filter fails e.g as of missing space in
the HW mac table, the device forces itself into promiscuous mode (and out of this
forced state when enough space is available).
Also, now it is possible to have bridge under multi-function configuration that include
PF and VFs. In order to use bridge over PF/VFs, VM MAC fdb entries must be added e.g.
using 'bridge fdb add' command.
Changes from v1 - based on more comments from Eric Dumazet:
* added failure handling when adding unicast address filter
Changes from v0 - based on comments from Eric Dumazet:
* Removed unneeded synchronize_rcu()
* Use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() + kfree()

Move low level code that deals with management of Ethernet MACs and QPs from mlx4_core to mlx4_en.
Also convert the new functions to deal with MACs in form of char array instead of u64.
Actual functions moved:
mlx4_replace_mac
mlx4_get_eth_qp
mlx4_put_eth_qp
To conduct this change, some functionality had to be exported from the core,
the following functions were added:
mlx4_get_base_qp
__mlx4_replace_mac (low level function for CX1/A0 compatibility)

skb_gso_segment() is almost always called in tx path,
except for openvswitch. It calls this function when
it receives the packet and tries to queue it to user-space.
In this special case, the ->ip_summed check inside
skb_gso_segment() is no longer true, as ->ip_summed value
has different meanings on rx path.
This patch adjusts skb_gso_segment() so that we can at least
avoid such warnings on checksum.

Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so
in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for
any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp,
requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control
the carrier itself.
The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel
still can change it based on events.
This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling
the carrier.

Ivan Vercera was recently backporting commit
9c13cb8bb477a83b9a3c9e5a5478a4e21294a760 to a RHEL kernel, and I noticed that,
while this patch protects the tg3 driver from having its ndo_poll_controller
routine called during device initalization, it does nothing for the driver
during shutdown. I.e. it would be entirely possible to have the
ndo_poll_controller method (or subsequently the ndo_poll) routine called for a
driver in the netpoll path on CPU A while in parallel on CPU B, the ndo_close or
ndo_open routine could be called. Given that the two latter routines tend to
initizlize and free many data structures that the former two rely on, the result
can easily be data corruption or various other crashes. Furthermore, it seems
that this is potentially a problem with all net drivers that support netpoll,
and so this should ideally be fixed in a common path.
As Ben H Pointed out to me, we can't preform dev_open/dev_close in atomic
context, so I've come up with this solution. We can use a mutex to sleep in
open/close paths and just do a mutex_trylock in the napi poll path and abandon
the poll attempt if we're locked, as we'll just retry the poll on the next send
anyway.
I've tested this here by flooding netconsole with messages on a system whos nic
driver I modfied to periodically return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so that the netpoll tx
workqueue would be forced to send frames and poll the device. While this was
going on I rapidly ifdown/up'ed the interface and watched for any problems.
I've not found any.

The macro for_each_memcg_cache_index contains a silly yet potentially
deadly mistake. Although the macro parameter is _idx, the loop tests
are done over i, not _idx.
This hasn't generated any problems so far, because all users use i as a
loop index. However, while playing with an extension of the code I
ended using another loop index and the compiler was quick to complain.
Unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing that testing reveals =(

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Paul Gortmaker says:
====================
The removal of wanrouter code was originally listed in the (now
gone) feature removal file since May 2012, and an RFC of the
deletion was posted[1] in late 2012. The overall concept was given
an OK, but defconfig contamination, build failures, etc. meant that
it didn't quite make it into mainline for 3.8.
Since that time, Dan discovered (via code audit) a runtime bug that
proves nobody has been using this for over four years[2]. With that
new information, I think it makes sense for someone to follow through
on Joe's original RFC and get this done for the 3.9 release.
In addition to resolving the build failures of the RFC by keeping
stub headers, this also splits the change into two parts, just like
the token ring removal did. Part #1 decouples the mainline kernel
from the expired subsystem, and part #2 does the large scale
deletion of the subsystem content.
The advantage of the above, is that a "git blame" will never lead
you to a 4000+ line deletion commit. The large scale deletion will
never show up in a "git blame" and hence the same advantages that we
get from the "--irreversible-delete" in the review stage of "git
format-patch" are also embedded into the git history itself. This
may seem like a moot point to some, but for those who spend a
considerable amount of time data mining in the git history, this is
probably worth doing.
I have done build tests of all[mod/yes]config for both the stage 1
(Makefile and Kconfig) and stage 2 (full driver delete) as a sanity
check, and the issues with the previously posted RFC should be gone.
Speaking of "--irreversible-delete" -- these patches were created
with that option, so if you want to use them locally, you are going
to have to pull (location below) the content instead of doing a
"git am" of the mailed out content.

The wanrouter support was identified earlier as unused for years,
and so the previous commit totally decoupled it from the kernel,
leaving the related wanrouter files present, but totally inert.
Here we take the final step in that cleanup, by doing a wholesale
removal of these files. The two step process is used so that the
large deletion is decoupled from the git history of files that we
still care about.
The drivers deleted here all were dependent on the Kconfig setting
CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS.
A stub wanrouter.h header (kernel & uapi) are left behind so that
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_x25iface.c continues to compile, and so that
we don't accidentally break userspace that expected these defines.

accomplish that, checking firmware capability bit to know whether we should
reassign macs in the driver.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a collection of miscellaneous fixes, the most important one is
the fix for the Samsung laptop bricking issue (auto-blacklisting the
samsung-laptop driver); the efi_enabled() changes you see below are
prerequisites for that fix.
The other issues fixed are booting on OLPC XO-1.5, an UV fix, NMI
debugging, and requiring CAP_SYS_RAWIO for MSR references, just as
with I/O port references."
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware
efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
smp: Fix SMP function call empty cpu mask race
x86/msr: Add capabilities check
x86/dma-debug: Bump PREALLOC_DMA_DEBUG_ENTRIES
x86/olpc: Fix olpc-xo1-sci.c build errors
arch/x86/platform/uv: Fix incorrect tlb flush all issue
x86-64: Fix unwind annotations in recent NMI changes
x86-32: Start out cr0 clean, disable paging before modifying cr3/4

A device sending 0 length frames as fast as it can has been
observed killing the host system due to the resulting memory
pressure.
Temporarily disable RX skb allocation and URB submission when
the current error ratio is high, preventing us from trying to
allocate an infinite number of skbs. Reenable as soon as we
are finished processing the done queue, allowing the device
to continue working after short error bursts.

This patch adds the missing function.
arch/mips/bcm47xx/wgt634u.c calls gpio_to_irq() and got the correct irq
number with the old gpio handling code. With this patch the code in
wgt634u.c should work again. I do not have a wgt634u to test this.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

Bring in the 'net' tree so that we can get some ipv4/ipv6 bug
fixes that some net-next work will build upon.

There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful.
For example:
1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network
configuration parameters
2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration
3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop
4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient
5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If
the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and
routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131.
This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism
for ipv4 addresses.
Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not
distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective.
Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users.

John W. Linville says:
====================
Included is an NFC pull. Samuel says:
"It brings the following goodies:
- LLCP socket timestamping (To be used e.g with the recently released nfctool
application for a more efficient skb timestamping when sniffing).
- A pretty big pn533 rework from Waldemar, preparing the driver to support
more flavours of pn533 based devices.
- HCI changes from Eric in preparation for the microread driver support.
- Some LLCP memory leak fixes, cleanups and slight improvements.
- pn544 and nfcwilink move to the devm_kzalloc API.
- An initial Secure Element (SE) API.
- An nfc.h license change from the original author, allowing non GPL
application code to safely include it."
Also included are a pair of mac80211 pulls. Johannes says:
"We found two bugs in the previous code, so I'm sending you a pull
request again this soon.
This contains two regulatory bug fixes, some of Thomas's hwsim beacon
timer work and a documentation fix from Bob."
"Another pull request for mac80211-next. This time, I have a number of
things, the patches are mostly self-explanatory. There are a few fixes
from Felix and myself, and random cleanups & improvements. The biggest
thing is the partial patchset from Marco preparing for mesh powersave."
Additionally, there are a pair of iwlwifi pulls. Johannes says:
"For iwlwifi-next, I have a few cleanups/improvements as well as a few
not very important fixes and more preparations for new devices."
"Please pull a few updates for iwlwifi. These are just some cleanups and
a debug improvement."
On top of that, there is a slew of driver updates. This includes
brcmfmac, mwifiex, ath9k, carl9170, and mwl8k as well as a handful
of others. The bcma and ssb busses get some attention as well.
Still, I don't see any big headliners here.
Also included is a pull of the wireless tree, in order to resolve
some merge conflicts.
