When the link comes up, the driver detects which flow control settings are
active. This is done using bitwise operations directly from the hardware
registers, and assumes the proper boolean assignment. Make this an
explicit boolean value before assignment to the bool.

The MII speed calculation was based on the CPU clock (ppc_proc_freq),
but for MPC512x we must use the bus clock instead.
This patch makes it use the correct clock and makes sure we don't
clobber reserved bits in the MII_SPEED register.

When the driver received an EEM packet with CRC option enabled, driver must
compute and check the CRC of the Ethernet data. Previous version computes CRC
on Ethernet data plus the original CRC value. Skbuff is correctly trimed but

Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1
(net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.
sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
while not fully (re)initialized.
This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning
of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job.
We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to
transfer skb->data ownership to the device after it reads the
descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms.
This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors.

Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same
master.
However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its
lifetime. This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND
or the other way arround. The change of type requires device level
multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses
depend on the device type.
The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes
type and dev_open() just after that.
In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under
bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER
by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved.
This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch
5 bond0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05
5 bond0 1 0 01005e000116

6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001
and this is how it looks like after the patch.

When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating
objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless
readers.
In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next
being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next
object in hash chain.)
kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid
for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next.
Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself.
As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to
memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference
on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier.

Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.
The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.
A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.
A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.
In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.
To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.
I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

The current function for sending events first allocates the
event stream buffer, and then an skb to copy the event stream
into. This can be done in one go. Also, the current function
leaks kernel data to userspace in a 4 uninitialised bytes,
initialise those explicitly. Finally also add a few useful
comments, as opposed to the current comments.

ever being called in process or bh context. Fixed by converting the

The function get_net_ns_by_pid(), to get a network
namespace from a pid_t, will be required in cfg80211
as well. Therefore, let's move it to net_namespace.c
and export it. We can't make it a static inline in
the !NETNS case because it needs to verify that the
given pid even exists (and return -ESRCH).

This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.
A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).
The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.
After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.
Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

All we need to take care of is using proper RCU list
add/del primitives and inserting a synchronize_rcu()
at one place to make sure the exit notifiers are run
after everybody has stopped iterating the list.

For the network namespace work in generic netlink I need
to be able to call this function under rcu_read_lock(),
otherwise the locking becomes a nightmare and more locks
would be needed. Instead, just embed a struct rcu_head
(actually a struct listeners_rcu_head that also carries
the pointer to the memory block) into the listeners
memory so we can use call_rcu() instead of synchronising
and then freeing. No rcu_barrier() is needed since this
code cannot be modular.

I added those myself in commits b4ff4f04 and 84659eb5,
but I see no reason now why they should be exported,
only generic netlink uses them which cannot be modular.

The sit module makes use of skb->dst in it's xmit function, so since
93f154b594fe47 ("net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()") sit
tunnels are broken, because the flag IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not
unset.
This patch unsets that flag for sit devices to fix this
regression.
