Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.
For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.
I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

Commit 44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced
a bug in the packet counters. I don't understand why that happened as it
is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb
retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet.
I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two
noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between
the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were
exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual
packet lengths with tcpdump.
So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals.

When the macvlan driver was extended to call unregisgter_netdevice_queue
in 23289a37e2, a use after free of struct
macvlan_port was introduced. The code in dellink relied on unregister_netdevice
actually unregistering the net device so it would be safe to free macvlan_port.
Since unregister_netdevice_queue can just queue up the unregister instead of
performing the unregiser immediately we free the macvlan_port too soon and
then the code in macvlan_stop removes the macaddress for the set of macaddress
to listen for and uses memory that has already been freed.
To fix this add a reference count to track when it is safe to free the macvlan_port
and move the call of macvlan_port_destroy into macvlan_uninit which is guaranteed
to be called after the final macvlan_port_close.

I ran into some trouble while testing the SocketCAN driver for the BOSCH
C_CAN controller. The interface is not correctly initialized, if I put
some CAN traffic on the line, _while_ the interface is being started
(which means: the interface doesn't come up correcty, if there's some RX
traffic while doing 'ifconfig can0 up').
The current implementation enables the controller interrupts _before_
doing the basic c_can configuration. I think, this should be done the
other way round.
The patch below fixes things for me.

When the OF device driver bits were converted over to the platform
device infrastructure in commit 74888760d4
("dt/net: Eliminate users of of_platform_{,un}register_driver") we
inadvertantly created probing problems in the OF case.
The NIU driver creates a dummy platform device to represent the
board that contains one or more child NIU devices. Unfortunately
we use the same name, "niu", as the OF device driver itself uses.
The result is that we try to probe the dummy "niu" parent device we
create, and since it has a NULL ofdevice pointer etc. everything
explodes:

netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows.
The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but
has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual
cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from
drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.
One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what
looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove
the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel
patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final
put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map
based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB
frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into
regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant
map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the
future.
Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7 "xen/irq: implement
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in
linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge
window:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends
this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for
cross merging into the net branch.

When the bonding module is loaded, it creates bond0 by default.
Then, when attempting to create bond0, the following messages
are printed to syslog:
kernel: bonding: bond0 is being created...
kernel: bonding: Bond creation failed.
Which seems to indicate a problem, when in reality there is no
problem. Since the actual error code is passed down from bond_create,
make use of it to print a bit less ominous message:
kernel: bonding: bond0 is being created...
kernel: bond0 already exists.

Bringing up a bond interface with all network cables disconnected
does not properly set the interface as DOWN because the call to
netif_carrier_off occurs too early in bond_init. The call needs
to occur after register_netdevice has set dev->reg_state to
NETREG_REGISTERED, so that netif_carrier_off will trigger the
call to linkwatch_fire_event.

When packets come in from a device with >= 16 receive queues
headed out a bonding interface, syslog gets filled with this:
kernel: bond0 selects TX queue 16, but real number of TX queues is 16
because queue_mapping is offset by 1. Adjust return value
to account for the offset.
This is a revision of my earlier patch (which did not use the
skb_rx_queue_* helpers - thanks to Ben for the suggestion).
Andy submitted a similar patch which emits a pr_warning on
invalid queue selection, but I believe the log spew is
not useful. We can revisit that question in the future,
but in the interim I believe fixing the core problem is
worthwhile.

Hardware timestamping for Intel 82580 didn't work in either 2.6.36 or
2.6.37. Comparing it to Intel's igb-2.4.12 I found that the
timecounter_init clock/counter initialization was done too early.

When the lower device has offloading capabilities, the packets checksums
are not computed. That leads to have any macvlan port in bridge mode to
not work because the packets are dropped due to a bad checksum.
If the macvlan is in bridge mode, the packet is forwarded to another
macvlan port and reach the network stack where it looks for a checksum
but this one was not computed due to the offloading of the lower device.
In this case, we have to set the packet with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
when it is forwarded to a bridged port and restore the previous value of
ip_summed when the packet goes to the lowerdev.
