83b7180d0d igb: move initialization of number of queues into set_interrupt_capability
This patch moves the initialization of the number of queues into
set_interrupt_capability.  This allows the number of queues to increase in
the unlikely event that the system initially fails to allocate enough msi-x
interrupts, does a suspend/resume, and then can allocate enough interrupts
on resume.

While cleaning up the skb_over panic with small frames I found there was

0b492fce3d sunhme: Don't match PCI devices in SBUS probe.
Unfortunately, the OF device tree nodes for SBUS and PCI
hme devices have the same device node name on some systems.

So if the name of the parent node isn't 'sbus', skip it.

3e450669cc ixgbe: Fix a set_num_queues() bug that can result in num_(r|t)x_queues = 0
Now that our set_num_queues() routines for each feature are re-entrant, and
can be called at any point, they shouldn't zero out the feature's indices
or mask bits.  Subsequent calls into those routines for those features can
result in zero Rx and Tx queues being assigned, causing a panic later in
driver reinitialization.

152abd139c 3c509: Fix resume from hibernation for PnP mode.
From: Ondrej Zary <linux@rainbow-software.org>

last year, I posted a patch which fixed hibernation on 3c509
cards. That was back in 2.6.24. It worked fine in 2.6.25. But then I
stopped using hibernation (as it did not work with my new IT8212 RAID
controller).

Now I fixed it and noticed that 3c509 does not wake up properly
anymore (in 2.6.28) - neither in PnP nor in ISA modes. ifconfig
down/up makes the card work again in PnP mode. However, in ISA mode,
ifconfig up ends with "No such device" error.

Comparing the 3c509 driver between 2.6.25 and 2.6.28, there's only
some statistics-related change. So the cause of the problem must be
somewhere else.

This patch makes the resume work in PnP mode, but it's still not
enough for ISA mode.

71822faa3b sungem: Soft lockup in sungem on Netra AC200 when switching interface up
From: Ilkka Virta <itvirta@iki.fi>

In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm
of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually
do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link
afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this.

Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing
done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to
napi_enable().

I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the
initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call
inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts
subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break
anything too obvious...

355423d084 r8169: Don't update statistics counters when interface is down
Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve
ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in
endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips
need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is
cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics
only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics
grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close).

It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

56035022d8 gro: Fix frag_list merging on imprecisely split packets
The previous fix ad0f990444 (gro:
Fix handling of imprecisely split packets) only fixed the case

In particular, the packet headers end up in the data stream.

This patch fixes this plus another issue where an imprecisely
split packet header may be read incorrectly (this is mostly
harmless since it'll simply cause the packet to not match and
be rejected for GRO).

Thanks to Emil Tantilov and Jeff Kirsher for helping to track

33dccbb050 tun: Limit amount of queued packets per device
Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
not have any accounting.  This means that the user-space sender
may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.

Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
response to congestion is packet loss.  That is, when those
local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
start wasting system time because it will continue to send
data there which simply gets dropped straight away.

Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
anywhere fast.  In fact, we've always helped them by performing
accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.

This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
packets just as a normal socket does for UDP.  Of course things
are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
back into the stack rather than out of the stack.

The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
patches.  So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.

For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
backwards compatibility.  In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.

In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

7b5e56f9d6 udp: Fix UDP short packet false positive
The UDP header pointer assignment must happen after calling
pskb_may_pull().  As pskb_may_pull() can potentially alter the SKB
buffer.

This was exposted by running multicast traffic through the NIU driver,
as it won't prepull the protocol headers into the linear area on
receive.

4cc7f68d65 net: Reexport sock_alloc_send_pskb
The function sock_alloc_send_pskb is completely useless if not
exported since most of the code in it won't be used as is.  In
fact, this code has already been duplicated in the tun driver.

Now that we need accounting in the tun driver, we can in fact
use this function as is.  So this patch marks it for export again.

9a279bcbe3 net: Partially allow skb destructors to be used on receive path
As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the
receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite
any existing destructor with their own.

This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback
driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus
creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged
to any socket.

With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic
is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any
socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back
for those poor folks still stuck with UDP.

Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has
no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off.  Unfortunately,
we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on
the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has
created a very unhealthy dependency.

Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have
to allow skb destructors on the receive path.

It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path
isn't as easy as it seems.  For instance, simply adding skb_orphan
to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough.  This is because we assume all
over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present.

The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes
that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present.

Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such
as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family
matches.  However, it turns out that for bridging at least we
don't need to do all of this work.

This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging
so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with
the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's
easily taken care of).

So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we
enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the
receive path.  It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in
netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy.

One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone
wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to
skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from
an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.

4d7902f22b gianfar: Fix stashing support
Stashing is only supported on the 85xx (e500-based) SoCs.  The 83xx and 86xx
chips don't have a proper cache for this.  U-Boot has been updated to add
stashing properties to the device tree nodes of gianfar devices on 85xx.  So
now we modify Linux to keep stashing off unless those properties are there.
