Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control
interface to WiMAX devices:
- Messaging channel between user space and driver/device
This implements a direct communication channel between user space
and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back
and forth.
This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.
- RF-kill framework integration
Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that
all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call
wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every
time it changes.
Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software
RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch
status.
Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space.
- Reset a WiMAX device
Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as
needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space.
This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the
basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way. The
WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are
discovered and provisioned.
The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be
offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors
to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction
layer should be.
The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging
channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

Add an EXPORT_SYMBOL() to genl_unregister_mc_group(), to allow
unregistering groups on the run. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() is not used as
the rest of the functions exported by this module (eg:
genl_register_mc_group) are also not _GPL().
Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is
no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not
being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for
external consumption.
This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc
groups.

Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common
generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space,
and the device state machine.
For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs,
use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most
systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of
WiMAX adaptors.

This file contains a simple debug framework that is used in the stack;
it allows the debug level to be controlled at compile-time (so the
debug code is optimized out) and at run-time (for what wasn't compiled
out).
This is eventually going to be moved to use dynamic_printk(). Just
need to find time to do it.

The AF_CAN core delivered always cloned sk_buffs to the AF_CAN
protocols, although this was _only_ needed by the can-raw protocol.
With this (additionally documented) change, the AF_CAN core calls the
callback functions of the registered AF_CAN protocols with the original
(uncloned) sk_buff pointer and let's the can-raw protocol do the
skb_clone() itself which omits all unneeded skb_clone() calls for other
AF_CAN protocols.

This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception.
With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the
interface is concerned. That is, you can now take any LRO driver
and convert it over to GRO.
As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it
entirely by storing dev in skb->dev. This is OK because VLAN
gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb->dev is
not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb
getting called.

Previously GRO's only entry point from the outside is through
napi_gro_receive and napi_gro_frags. These interfaces are for
device drivers.
This patch rearranges things to provide a new set of interfaces
for VLANs. These interfaces are for internal use only. The
VLAN code itself can then provide a set of entry points for
device drivers.

async_tx and net_dma each have open-coded versions of issue_pending_all,
so provide a common routine in dmaengine.
The implementation needs to walk the global device list, so implement
rcu to allow dma_issue_pending_all to run lockless. Clients protect
themselves from channel removal events by holding a dmaengine reference.

Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.
Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a
->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

svc_check_conn_limits() attempts to prevent denial of service attacks
by having the service close old connections once it reaches a
threshold. This threshold is based on the number of threads in the
service:
(serv->sv_nrthreads + 3) * 20
Once we reach this, we drop the oldest connections and a printk pops
to warn the admin that they should increase the number of threads.
Increasing the number of threads isn't an option however for services
like lockd. We don't want to eliminate this check entirely for such
services but we need some way to increase this limit.
This patch adds a sv_maxconn field to the svc_serv struct. When it's
set to 0, we use the current method to calculate the max number of
connections. RPC services can then set this on an as-needed basis.

New nodes are inserted in u32_change() under rtnl_lock() with wmb(),
so without tcf_tree_lock() like in other classifiers (e.g. cls_fw).
This isn't enough without rmb() on the read side, but on the other

If the iucv module is compiled in/loaded but no user is registered cpu
hot remove doesn't work. Reason for that is that the iucv cpu hotplug
notifier on CPU_DOWN_PREPARE checks if the iucv_buffer_cpumask would
be empty after the corresponding bit would be cleared. However the bit
was never set since iucv wasn't enable. That causes all cpu hot unplug
operations to fail in this scenario.
To fix this use iucv_path_table as an indicator wether iucv is enabled
or not.

Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:
* enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go
through the CCID registration lock;
* updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);
* since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.
CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

Commit b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb "Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for
drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device.
Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their
link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING
flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was
previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is
not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as
reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on
__LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3],
and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is
not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link,
I don't know if and when it may get set.)
The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I
tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted
without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report
RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to
start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted
with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time
out the first time.
The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable
correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called
but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call
entirely as the previous fix did. (sorry it isn't inline, I don't have
a patch friendly email client at the moment)

This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags)
in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list.
It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers
to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating
an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's
lro_receive_frags interface.
The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with
or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed
there.
The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries
after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first
new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this
check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can
produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation.
If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a
single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.
The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.
IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).
So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.
