2013-03-28net: add ETH_P_802_3_MINSimon Horman
Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field are Ethernet II. Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and I could find to use the new constant. Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN should be >= not >.

2013-03-27net: frag, avoid several CPUs grabbing same frag queue during LRU evictor loopJesper Dangaard Brouer
The LRU list is protected by its own lock, since commit 3ef0eb0db4 (net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of rwlock), and no-longer by a read_lock. This makes it possible, to remove the inet_frag_queue, which is about to be "evicted", from the LRU list head. This avoids the problem, of several CPUs grabbing the same frag queue. Note, cannot remove the inet_frag_lru_del() call in fq_unlink() called by inet_frag_kill(), because inet_frag_kill() is also used in other situations. Thus, we use list_del_init() to allow this double list_del to work. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-03-27batman-adv: free an hard-interface before adding itAntonio Quartulli
When adding a new hard interface (e.g. wlan0) to a soft interface (e.g. bat0) and the former is already enslaved in another virtual interface (e.g. a software bridge) batman-adv has to free it first and then continue with the adding mechanism. In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master" does. At the moment batman-adv enslaves the hard interface without checking for the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by the users.

2013-03-27batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removedSven Eckelmann
batman-adv has an unusual way to manage softinterfaces. These will be created automatically when a user writes to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file in sysfs and removed when no slave device exists anymore. This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

2013-03-26firewire net, ipv4 arp: Extend hardware address and remove driver-level ↵YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明
packet inspection. Inspection of upper layer protocol is considered harmful, especially if it is about ARP or other stateful upper layer protocol; driver cannot (and should not) have full state of them. IPv4 over Firewire module used to inspect ARP (both in sending path and in receiving path), and record peer's GUID, max packet size, max speed and fifo address. This patch removes such inspection by extending our "hardware address" definition to include other information as well: max packet size, max speed and fifo. By doing this, The neighbour module in networking subsystem can cache them. Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those information will not be used in the driver when sending. When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo. The driver can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address) by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address. This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6 over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format in their address resolution protocols. Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows: union fwnet_hwaddr { u8 u[16]; struct { __be64 uniq_id; /* EUI-64 */ u8 max_rec; /* max packet size */ u8 sspd; /* max speed */ __be16 fifo_hi; /* hi 16bits of FIFO addr */ __be32 fifo_lo; /* lo 32bits of FIFO addr */ } __packed uc; }; Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this format in detail. One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734) is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address field (aka ar$tha). This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem. CC: Stephan Gatzka <stephan.gatzka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
