These netdev_printk routines take a struct net_device * and emit

When the fib size exceeds what can be dumped in a single skb, the
dump is suspended and resumed once the last skb has been received
by userspace. When the fib is changed while the dump is suspended,
the walker might contain stale pointers, causing a crash when the
dump is resumed.

This patchset enables the ethtool layer to program n-tuple

Many drivers would like to sleep during station
addition and removal, and currently have a high
complexity there from not being able to.
This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
fail.
The reason we didn't do this previously is that
the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
This patch will keep the station allocation in
that path, but moves adding the station to the
driver out of line. Since the addition can now
fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
station but never tell the driver about it in
the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
a driver that has a low limit on the number of
stations and that cannot talk to any stations
that are not known to it, we need to do come up
with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
/sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.
Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.
If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.
We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).
If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
namespace to another one.

This patch adds GSO/checksum offload to af_packet sockets using
virtio_net_hdr. Based on Rusty's patch to add this support to tun.
It allows GSO/checksum offload to be enabled when using raw socket
backend with virtio_net.
Adds PACKET_VNET_HDR socket option to prepend virtio_net_hdr in the
receive path and process/skip virtio_net_hdr in the send path. This
option is only allowed with SOCK_RAW sockets attached to ethernet
type devices.
v2 updates
----------
Michael's Comments
- Perform length check in packet_snd() when GSO is off even when
vnet_hdr is present.
- Check for SKB_GSO_FCOE type and return -EINVAL
- don't allow tx/rx ring when vnet_hdr is enabled.
Herbert's Comments
- Removed ethernet specific code.
- protocol value is assumed to be passed in by the caller.

This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list.
However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three
macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head
smooth in two steps:
1) convert all drivers to use these macros (with the original iterator of type
"struct dev_mc_list")
2) once all drivers are converted, convert list type and iterators to "struct
netdev_hw_addr" in one patch.
>From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate
over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros
"netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state
which should be reached in all drivers.

In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require
a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend
with a character device with the same interface as the tun
driver, with a minimum set of features.
Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan
interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a
handle for configuration and accounting, while the data
goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its
own character device, simplifying permission management
significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.
Kudos for Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>, who found a bug in the

When an injected frame gets buffered for a powersave STA or filtered
and retransmitted, mac80211 attempts to parse the radiotap header
again, which doesn't work because it's gone at that point.
This patch adds a new flag for checking the availability of a radiotap
header, so that it only attempts to parse it once, reusing the tx info
on the next call to ieee80211_tx().
This fixes severe issues with rekeying in AP mode.

This adds a new regulatory hint to be used when we know all
devices have been disconnected and idle. This can happen
when we suspend, for instance. When we disconnect we can
no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from
a country IE or beacon hints are applicable so restore
regulatory settings to an initial state.
Since driver hints are cached on the wiphy that called
the hint, those hints are not reproduced onto cfg80211
as the wiphy will respect its own wiphy->regd regardless.

I'm not sure about rcu stuff near kmem cache destruction:
* checks for non-empty hashes look bogus, they're done _before_

* unregistering netns ops is done before kmem_cache destoy

So it looks nothing should be done.

Because DTIM information is required for powersave

before enabling powersave, and change the way the

mwl8k doesn't currently seem to implement PS but

According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:
1. It is QoS data frame.
2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.
The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield

If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.
If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
that it will be able to deal with that many different
addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
device should deal addresses within that mask based
on an arbitrary "base address".
To test it all and show how it is used, add support
to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
addresses different from the default.
