All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
takes the rtnl itself completely useless.
Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and
rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and
change the existing users to take advantage of that.

The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address
differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice,
but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real
device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when
the vlan device is still down.
Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly
deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to
dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling).
Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one
with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup().

Throw out the old mark & sweep garbage collector and put in a
refcounting cycle detecting one.
The old one had a race with recvmsg, that resulted in false positives
and hence data loss. The old algorithm operated on all unix sockets
in the system, so any additional locking would have meant performance
problems for all users of these.
The new algorithm instead only operates on "in flight" sockets, which
are very rare, and the additional locking for these doesn't negatively
impact the vast majority of users.
In fact it's probable, that there weren't *any* heavy senders of
sockets over sockets, otherwise the above race would have been
discovered long ago.
The patch works OK with the app that exposed the race with the old
code. The garbage collection has also been verified to work in a few
simple cases.

dereference (CVE-2007-2876)
When creating a new connection by sending an unknown chunk type, we
don't transition to a valid state, causing a NULL pointer dereference
in sctp_packet when accessing sctp_timeouts[SCTP_CONNTRACK_NONE].
Fix by don't creating new conntrack entry if initial state is invalid.

It should, but the < 0 case can't happen since __udp4_lib_rcv

The "fix" for emerging security threat was overkill and it broke
basic semantic of IPv6 routing header processing. We should assume
RT0 (or even RT2, depends on configuration) as "unknown" RH type so
that we
- silently ignore the routing header if segleft == 0
- send ICMPv6 Parameter Problem message back to the sender,
otherwise.

93ec2c723e3f8a216dde2899aeb85c648672bc6b applied excessive duct tape to
the netpoll beast's netpoll_cleanup(), thus substituting one leak with
another, and opening up a little buglet :-)
net_device->npinfo (netpoll_info) is a shared and refcounted object and
cannot simply be set NULL the first time netpoll_cleanup() is called.
Otherwise, further netpoll_cleanup()'s see np->dev->npinfo == NULL and
become no-ops, thus leaking. And it's a bug too: the first call to
netpoll_cleanup() would thus (annoyingly) "disable" other (still alive)
netpolls too. Maybe nobody noticed this because netconsole (only user
of netpoll) never supported multiple netpoll objects earlier.
This is a trivial and obvious one-line fixlet.

Document the expectations about device MTU handling.
The documentation about oversize packet handling is probably too
loose.
IMHO devices should drop oversize packets for robustness,
but many devices allow it now. For example, if you set mtu to 1200
bytes, most ether devices will allow a 1500 byte frame in.

In addition to the periodic heartbeat, we're adding a heartbeat
request interrupt when the heartbeat is late. This is needed during
netpoll where the timer is not available. -rt kernels will also
benefit since the timer is not as accurate.
[ We discussed this patch last time and we decided that the -rt
kernel problem alone did not justify this patch. I think the
netpoll problem makes this patch necessary. ]

Spurious interrupts are often encountered especially on systems
using the 8259 PIC mode. This is because the I/O write to deassert
the interrupt is posted and won't get to the chip immediately. As
a result, the IRQ may remain asserted after the IRQ handler exits,
causing spurious interrupts.
Add read back to flush the I/O write to deassert the IRQ immediately.
We also store the last_status_idx immediately in the IRQ handler to
help detect whether the interrupt is ours or not when the IRQ is
entered again before ->poll gets called.

In blade servers, the Serdes PHY in 5708S can control the remote
copper PHY through autonegotiation on the backplane. This patch adds
the logic to interface with the firmware to control the remote PHY
autonegotiation and to handle remote PHY link events.
When remote PHY is present, the 5708S Serdes device practically
becomes a copper device with full control over the 1000Base-T
link settings.

When the maximum number of conntrack entries is reached and a new
one needs to be allocated, conntrack tries to drop an unassured
connection from the same hash bucket the new conntrack would hash
to. Since with a properly sized hash the average number of entries
per bucket is 1, the chances of actually finding one are not very
good. This patch makes it walk the hash until a minimum number of
8 entries are checked.
