This patch corrects a typo that was doing a less than comparison instead of
a left shift due to the fact that I didn't get enough <'s in there.

This resolves an issue in which vlans were not functioning correctly.

cad6d05f56 igb: add PF to pool
Add Pf to pool if adding a VLVF register value and the VFTA bit is
already set.

This patch addresses the unlikely situation that the PF adds a vlan
entry when the vlvf is full, and a vf later adds the vlan to the vlvf.

9c705260fe ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign
I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels
with different speeds to the same bundle.

Problem Description:

As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly
among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to
make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol
that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for
example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel
of the bundle.

Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have
two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast
link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we
have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the
PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in
two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc,
flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it
will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it
will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two
PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The
resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working
@1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle
working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth).


Problem Solution:

The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode"
function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according
to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial
interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to
the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now
divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set
according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be
sent on (e.g .  10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on
1000KB/sec channel).  The reworked function grants the same
performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a
bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while
greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels
working at different speeds.

73ce7b01b4 ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification
Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing 
address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927.
Here is quote of important information:

"
An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above, 
except    that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set 
to the host's newly selected IPv4 address. 
"

But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227.
"
The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid
polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case
where the address turns out to be already in use by another host.
"

When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because 
it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just 
causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so 
just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip.

1f8ae0a21d tulip: Fix for MTU problems with 802.1q tagged frames
The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied
because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors,
but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work.

Original description:
This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We
should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of
1514.

Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived
at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip
I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels.

Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.

It closes a race in phy_stop_machine when reprogramming of phy_timer
(from phy_state_machine) happens between del_timer_sync and cancel_work_sync.

Without this change it could lead to crash if phy_device would be freed after
phy_stop_machine (timer would fire and schedule freed work).

f9ac30f080 macvlan: Deterministic ingress packet delivery
Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the
device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive
packets.

There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan.  Allowing
a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or
another macvlan.

To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the
mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table
I verify that the new mac address is usable.

The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of
mac vlan mac addresses.

To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance
in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic
needed to update the hash table all over the place.

6fc791ee63 sctp: add Adaptation Layer Indication parameter only when it's set
RFC5061 states:

        Each adaptation layer that is defined that wishes
        to use this parameter MUST specify an adaptation code point in an
        appropriate RFC defining its use and meaning.

If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param
with a zero Adaptation Code Point.

Rationale - Currently the IANA defines zero as reserved - and
1 as the only valid value - so we consider zero to be unset - to save
adding a boolean to the socket structure.

Including this parameter unconditionally causes endpoints that do not
understand it to report errors unnecessarily.

fc1ad92dfc tcp: allow timestamps even if SYN packet has tsval=0
Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp
option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0].
It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml )

Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet
without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps
and lose some benefit of RFC1323.

Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let
tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option.

1b2bb76f57 forcedeth: fix irq clearing and napi spin lock changes
This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it
has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new
irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would
then be cleared accidentally.

Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when
scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as
we turn off all interrupts now).

6cef67a02f forcedeth: performance changes
This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the
number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a
timer irq in throughput mode.

Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This
drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e
512 bytes.

4145ade2bb forcedeth: add interrupt moderation logic
This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the
mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of
time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure
throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If
bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to
help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while
maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.

b67874ac16 forcedeth: remove isr processing loop
This patch is only a subset of changes so that it is easier to see the
modifications. This patch removes the isr 'for' loop and shifts all the
logic to account for new tab spacing.

9e184767c9 forcedeth: add new optimization mode
A new optimization mode called Dynamic has been added. This will be mode
where interrupt moderation logic will dynamically switch between pure
throughput mode and poll based (called 'cpu') mode.

Also, for newer chipsets, the timer irq is not needed for throughput
mode. Secondly, since we are modifying the irqmask to change between
modes, msix is not supported.
