2013-11-19genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg
Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-11-156lowpan: Uncompression of traffic class field was incorrectJukka Rissanen
If priority/traffic class field in IPv6 header is set (seen when using ssh), the uncompression sets the TC and Flow fields incorrectly. Example: This is IPv6 header of a sent packet. Note the priority/TC (=1) in the first byte. 00000000: 61 00 00 00 00 2c 06 40 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00000010: 02 02 72 ff fe c6 42 10 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00000020: 02 1e ab ff fe 4c 52 57 This gets compressed like this in the sending side 00000000: 72 31 04 06 02 1e ab ff fe 4c 52 57 ec c2 00 16 00000010: aa 2d fe 92 86 4e be c6 .... In the receiving end, the packet gets uncompressed to this IPv6 header 00000000: 60 06 06 02 00 2a 1e 40 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00000010: 02 02 72 ff fe c6 42 10 fe 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00000020: ab ff fe 4c 52 57 ec c2 First four bytes are set incorrectly and we have also lost two bytes from destination address.

dev_queue_xmit() will return a positive value if the packet could not be queued, often because the real network device (in our case the mac802154 wpan device) has its queue stopped. lowpan_xmit() should handle the positive return code (for the debug statement) and return that value to the higher layer so the higher layer will retry sending the packet.
