942e4a2bd6 netfilter: revised locking for x_tables
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer 
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.

This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

bf368e4e70 net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.

This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.

(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)

This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.

Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 

Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c 
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)

Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.

This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.

Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
 skb_release_head_state()
  sock_wfree()
   sock_def_write_space()
    __wake_up_sync_key()
     __wake_up_common()
      receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

c9503e0fe0 ipv4: Limit size of route cache hash table
Right now we have no upper limit on the size of the route cache hash table.
On a 128GB POWER6 box it ends up as 32MB:

    IP route cache hash table entries: 4194304 (order: 9, 33554432 bytes)

It would be nice to cap this for memory consumption reasons, but a massive
hashtable also causes a significant spike when measuring OS jitter.

With a 32MB hashtable and 4 million entries, rt_worker_func is taking
5 ms to complete. On another system with more memory it's taking 14 ms.
Even though rt_worker_func does call cond_sched() to limit its impact,
in an HPC environment we want to keep all sources of OS jitter to a minimum.

With the patch applied we limit the number of entries to 512k which
can still be overriden by using the rt_entries boot option:

    IP route cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes)

With this patch rt_worker_func now takes 0.460 ms on the same system.

adc667e84f vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down
Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
administratively up or down.

	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
and close of the VLAN device.

	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
devices.

3fa6b5adbe af_iucv: Fix race when queuing incoming iucv messages
AF_IUCV runs into a race when queuing incoming iucv messages
and receiving the resulting backlog.

If the Linux system is under pressure (high load or steal time),
the message queue grows up, but messages are not received and queued
onto the backlog queue. In that case, applications do not
receive any data with recvmsg() even if AF_IUCV puts incoming
messages onto the message queue.

The race can be avoided if the message queue spinlock in the
message_pending callback is spreaded across the entire callback
function.

8caf153974 net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.
Alex Sidorenko reported:

"while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It
seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some
hosts but not on others.

After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp
field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That
is:

- if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected
- if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay"

This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit()
on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on
the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active.

Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host,
tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the
outside.

9499237a1c Bluetooth: Add workaround for wrong HCI event in eSCO setup
The Broadcom chips with 2.1 firmware handle the fallback case to a SCO
link wrongly when setting up eSCO connections.

  < HCI Command: Setup Synchronous Connection (0x01|0x0028) plen 17
      handle 11 voice setting 0x0060
  > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4
      Setup Synchronous Connection (0x01|0x0028) status 0x00 ncmd 1
  > HCI Event: Connect Complete (0x03) plen 11
      status 0x00 handle 1 bdaddr 00:1E:3A:xx:xx:xx type SCO encrypt 0x01

The Link Manager negotiates the fallback to SCO, but then sends out
a Connect Complete event. This is wrong and the Link Manager should
actually send a Synchronous Connection Complete event if the Setup
Synchronous Connection has been used. Only the remote side is allowed
to use Connect Complete to indicate the missing support for eSCO in
the host stack.

This patch adds a workaround for this which clearly should not be
needed, but reality is that broken Broadcom devices are deployed.

150ace0db3 netfilter: ctnetlink: report error if event message allocation fails
This patch fixes an inconsistency that results in no error reports
to user-space listeners if we fail to allocate the event message.

a0a69a0106 gro: Fix use after free in tcp_gro_receive
After calling skb_gro_receive skb->len can no longer be relied
on since if the skb was merged using frags, then its pages will
have been removed and the length reduced.

This caused tcp_gro_receive to prematurely end merging which
resulted in suboptimal performance with ixgbe.

The fix is to store skb->len on the stack.

62bcaa1303 can: Network Drop Monitor: Make use of consume_skb() in af_can.c
Since commit ead2ceb0ec ("Network Drop
Monitor: Adding kfree_skb_clean for non-drops and modifying
end-of-line points for skbs") so called end-of-line points for skb's
should use consume_skb() to free the socket buffer.

In opposite to consume_skb() the function kfree_skb() is intended to
be used for unexpected skb drops e.g. in error conditions that now can
trigger the network drop monitor if enabled.

This patch moves the skb end-of-line point in af_can.c to use
consume_skb().

98d500d66c netfilter: nf_nat: add support for persistent mappings
The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is
not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range
mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single
client. The current behaviour is to choose the address from the range
based on source and destination IP, which breaks when communicating
with sites having multiple addresses that require all connections to
originate from the same IP address.

Introduce a IP_NAT_RANGE_PERSISTENT option that controls whether the
destination address is taken into account for selecting addresses.

23a99840d5 mac80211: Fragmentation threshold (typo)
mac80211: Fragmentation threshold (typo)

ieee80211_ioctl_siwfrag() sets the fragmentation_threshold to 2352
when frame fragmentation is to be disabled, yet the corresponding
'get' function tests for 2353 bytes instead.

This causes user-space tools to display a fragmentation threshold
of 2352 bytes even if fragmentation has been disabled.

47afbaf5af mac80211: correct wext transmit power handler
Wext makes no assumptions about the contents of
data->txpower.fixed and data->txpower.value when
data->txpower.disabled is set, so do not update
the user-requested power level while disabling.

Also, when wext configures a really _fixed_ power
output [1], we should reject it instead of limiting it
to the regulatory constraint. If the user wants to set
a _limit_ [2] then we should honour that.

[1] iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20dBm fixed
[2] iwconfig wlan0 txpower 10dBm

This fixes
