4b32da2bcf ppp: Replace uses of <linux/if_ppp.h> with <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>
Since all that include/linux/if_ppp.h does is #include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>,
this replaces the occurrences of #include <linux/if_ppp.h> with
#include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>.

It also corrects an error in Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt, where
it referenced include/linux/if_ppp.h as the source of some definitions
that are actually now defined in include/linux/if_pppol2tp.h.

bf7daebb9f ppp: Move ioctl definitions from if_ppp.h to new ppp-ioctl.h
This moves the definitions of the ioctls, constants and structures
relating to the ppp_generic interface to userspace out from if_ppp.h
to a new file, ppp-ioctl.h.  The new file has my copyright since I
designed and implemented the ppp_generic interface in the late 1990s.
None of the contents of this file comes from the original if_ppp.h
published by Carnegie Mellon University.

Of the remainder of if_ppp.h, only the PPP_MTU definition was being
used, and this replaces the uses of it with PPP_MRU (which is identical).
Therefore, this replaces the entire file with the single line

#include <linux/ppp-ioctl.h>

which clearly doesn't contain any CMU code.  Thus I have removed the
CMU copyright notice with its problematic advertising clause, and in
fact since it's only one trivial line I have not added any other
copyright notice.

784db3f062 ppp: Change copyright notices from ANU to me
This changes the copyright notices on the PPP code that I developed
in the late 1990s from being copyright The Australian National
University to copyright Paul Mackerras.  I can do this as I have an
acknowledgement in writing from the Head of the Computer Science
Department at ANU (where I worked then) that ANU does not claim any
intellectual property in this code.

While I'm at it, change the copyright notice from BSD-style to
GNU GPL like the rest of the kernel.

f541fb7e20 dccp: fix bug in sequence number validation during connection setup
This fixes a bug in the sequence number validation during the initial handshake.

The code did not treat the initial sequence numbers ISS and ISR as read-only and
did not keep state for GSR and GSS as required by the specification. This causes
problems with retransmissions during the initial handshake, causing the
budding connection to be reset.

This patch now treats ISS/ISR as read-only and tracks GSS/GSR as required.

2b88f2de30 net: dcb: getnumtcs()/setnumtcs() should return an int
{g|s}etnumtcs() today returns a u8 that is only used by the DCB code
to verify no error occurred. Today the driver implementations return
negative error codes which end up being non-zero so the logic works
out but triggers some sparse warnings.

To fix the sparse warnings convert the return value to an int.

65ec698d13 tg3: Fix tg3_get_stats64 for 5700 / 5701 devs
tg3_get_stats64() takes tp->lock when dealing with non-serdes bcm5700
and bcm5701 devices.  However, functions that call tg3_halt() have
already acquired tp->lock.  When tg3_get_stats64() is called in
tg3_halt(), deadlock will occur.

This patch fixes the problem by separating the stat gathering code into
a new tg3_get_nstats() function.  tg3_get_stats64() is recoded to call
this function and take tp->lock.  The code that takes tp->lock in
tg3_calc_crc_errors() has been removed.  Function signatures have been
cleaned up too.

4c90d3b303 tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skb
When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently
pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This
implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct
SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think
that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(),
leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of
reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just
1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger).

This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the
highest SACKed sequence.

Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that
tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where
skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading
   to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila.

21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added
   two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet.

22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver.  Fix from Julia Lawall.

23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from
   non-__exit code.  From Nikola Pajkovsky.

24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a
   race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix
   from Michel Machado.

25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device
   dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one
   network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer
   allocated by properly written netlink applications.

   In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
   GLIBC stop working.

   To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
   extended portions of the network device dump.  Sophisticaed
   applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff  will be changed
   to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
   about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
   mere presence of VFs on a network device.

   Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

6221217199 mlx4_en: dont change mac_header on xmit
A driver xmit function is not allowed to change skb without special
care.

mlx4_en_xmit() should not call skb_reset_mac_header() and instead should
use skb->data to access ethernet header.

This removes a dumb test : if (ethh && ethh->h_dest)

Also remove this slow mlx4_en_mac_to_u64() call, we can use
get_unaligned() to get faster code.

0f298a285f netfilter: ctnetlink: support kernel-space dump filtering by ctmark
This patch adds CTA_MARK_MASK which, together with CTA_MARK, allows
you to selectively send conntrack entries to user-space by
returning those that match mark & mask.

With this, we can save cycles in the building and the parsing of
the entries that may be later on filtered out in user-space by using
the ctmark & mask.

7175c88307 netlink: allow to pass data pointer to netlink_dump_start() callback
This patch allows you to pass a data pointer that can be
accessed from the dump callback.

Netfilter is going to use this patch to provide filtered dumps
to user-space. This is specifically interesting in ctnetlink that
may handle lots of conntrack entries. We can save precious
cycles by skipping the conversion to TLV format of conntrack
entries that are not interesting for user-space.

More specifically, ctnetlink will include one operation to allow
to filter the dumping of conntrack entries by ctmark values.

80d326fab5 netlink: add netlink_dump_control structure for netlink_dump_start()
Davem considers that the argument list of this interface is getting
out of control. This patch tries to address this issue following
his proposal:

struct netlink_dump_control c = { .dump = dump, .done = done, ... };

netlink_dump_start(..., &c);

Suggested by David S. Miller.

3c761ea05a Fix autofs compile without CONFIG_COMPAT
The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.

Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.

We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.
