There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent
on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets.
In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of
incoming message, and this might break some setups.
Example of things that were broken :
- Routing using TOS as a selector
- Firewalls
- Trafic classification / shaping
We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in
ACK generation, and route lookup.
Notes :
- We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages.
- We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in
netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets.
- A patch is needed for IPv6

tcp_md5_hash_header() writes into skb header a temporary zero value,
this might confuse other users of this area.
Since tcphdr is small (20 bytes), copy it in a temporary variable and
make the change in the copy.

Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some
bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further.
For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr
in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the
temporary null value...

On systems that create and delete lots of dynamic devices the
31bit linux ifindex fails to fit in the 16bit macvtap minor,
resulting in unusable macvtap devices. I have systems running
automated tests that that hit this condition in just a few days.
Use a linux idr allocator to track which mavtap minor numbers
are available and and to track the association between macvtap
minor numbers and macvtap network devices.
Remove the unnecessary unneccessary check to see if the network
device we have found is indeed a macvtap device. With macvtap
specific data structures it is impossible to find any other
kind of networking device.
Increase the macvtap minor range from 65536 to the full 20 bits
that is supported by linux device numbers. It doesn't solve the
original problem but there is no penalty for a larger minor
device range.

Up till now the IP{,V6}_TRANSPARENT socket options (which actually set
the same bit in the socket struct) have required CAP_NET_ADMIN
privileges to set or clear the option.
- we make clearing the bit not require any privileges.
- we allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to set the bit (as before this change)
- we allow CAP_NET_RAW to set this bit, because raw
sockets already pretty much effectively allow you
to emulate socket transparency.

A few network drivers currently use skb_frag_struct for this purpose but I have
patches which add additional fields and semantics there which these other uses
do not want.
A structure for reference sub-page regions seems like a generally useful thing
so do so instead of adding a network subsystem specific structure.

This is just a cleanup.
My testing version of Smatch warns about this:
net/core/filter.c +380 check_load_and_stores(6)
warn: check 'flen' for negative values
flen comes from the user. We try to clamp the values here between 1

negative. This is a bug, but it's not exploitable.

Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we
currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the
implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL.
NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning
we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This
multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed)
in the code.
Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged
file in a tagged directory.
To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs.
Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged
file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace.
Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs
directories.
Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

skb_recycle_check resets the skb if it's eligible for recycling.
However, there are times when a driver might want to optionally
manipulate the skb data with the skb before resetting the skb,
but after it has determined eligibility. We do this by splitting the
eligibility check from the skb reset, creating two inline functions to
accomplish that task.

mac80211 already filled in the MCS rate info for rx'ed frames but tx'ed

lack this information.
Add the radiotap fields for MCS info to ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr
and populate them when sending tx'ed frames to the monitors.

skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.
Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.
This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.
At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.
Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb->head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.
Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.

This patch exposes the tos value for the TCP sockets when the TOS flag
is requested in the ext_flags for the inet_diag request. This would mainly be
used to expose TOS values for both for TCP and UDP sockets. Currently it is
supported for TCP. When netlink support for UDP would be added the support
to expose the TOS values would alse be done. For IPV4 tos value is exposed
and for IPV6 tclass value is exposed.

The purpose of this is two-fold:
1) by moving it out of tx_data.flags, we can in
another patch move the radiotap parsing so it
no longer is in the hotpath
2) if a device implements fragmentation but can
optionally skip it, the radiotap request for
not doing fragmentation may be honoured

Add the ability to disable PCI-E MPS turning and using the BIOS
configured MPS defaults. Due to the number of issues recently
discovered on some x86 chipsets, make this the default behavior.
Also, add the option for peer to peer DMA MPS configuration. Peer to
peer DMA is outside the scope of this patch, but MPS configuration could
prevent it from working by having the MPS on one root port different
than the MPS on another. To work around this, simply make the system
wide MPS the smallest possible value (128B).

Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe
request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting
hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected
quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate
control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission.
As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should
not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send
the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to
retain the connection.
