4fddbf5d78 sit: strictly restrict incoming traffic to tunnel link device
Check link device when looking up a tunnel. When a tunnel is
linked to a interface, traffic from a different interface must not
reach the tunnel.

This also allows creating of multiple tunnels with the same
endpoints, if the link device differs.

9643f45512 ipv4: teach ipconfig about the MTU option in DHCP
The DHCP spec allows the server to specify the MTU.  This can be useful
for netbooting with UDP-based NFS-root on a network using jumbo frames.
This patch allows the kernel IP autoconfiguration to handle this option
correctly.

It would be possible to use initramfs and add a script to set the MTU,
but that seems like a complicated solution if no initramfs is otherwise
necessary, and would bloat the kernel image more than this code would.

This patch was originally submitted to LKML in 2003 by Hans-Peter Jansen.

fd2120ca0d net: use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in nlmsg_new() allocations
nlmsg_new() adds the size of the netlink header to the value
that has been passed as parameter. If NLMSG_GOODSIZE is selected,
we request an allocation of one memory page plus the size of the
header. Instead, NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE should be used since it
already substracts the size of the Netlink header.

I have the impression that the similar naming in both constant
is error prone when using it with nlmsg_new(). This is already
documented in include/net/netlink.h

The SFF specification for Direct Attach cable detection has now been

3577aa1bd7 r8169: allow true forced mode setting
Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability
of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the
current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting
the advertised modes.

With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode
settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102.

Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute. The RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03
tweak was extracted from Realtek's r8169 v6.010.00 driver.

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

336ca57c3b net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in sysfs methods.
The earlier patch to fix the deadlock between a network device going
away and writing to sysfs attributes was incomplete.
- It did not set signal_pending so we would leak ERSTARTSYS to user space.
- It used ERESTARTSYS which only restarts if sigaction configures it to.
- It did not cover store and show for ifalias.

So fix all of these up and use the new helper restart_syscall so we get
the details correct on what it takes.

Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their
tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line
that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths)

We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much.
(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only)

Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct
netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and
counters updates will then be free (no increase in size)

eb0519b5a1 mv643xx_eth: fix PPC DMA breakage
After 2.6.29, PPC no more admits passing NULL to the dev parameter of
the DMA API. The result is a BUG followed by solid lock-up when the 
mv643xx_eth driver brings an interface up. The following patch makes 
the driver work on my Pegasos again; it is mostly a search and replace 
of NULL by mp->dev->dev.parent in dma allocation/freeing/mapping/unmapping
functions.

4cd6fe1c64 bonding: fix link down handling in 802.3ad mode
One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover
correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have
no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present
to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond.

Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly
chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator.

4f0611af47 bridge: fix initial packet flood if !STP
If bridge is configured with no STP and forwarding delay of 0 (which
is typical for virtualization) then when link starts it will flood all
packets for the first 20 seconds.

This bug was introduced by a combination of earlier changes:
  * forwarding database uses hold time of zero to indicate
    user wants to always flood packets
  * optimzation of the case of forwarding delay of 0 avoids the initial
    timer tick

The fix is to just skip all the topology change detection code if
kernel STP is not being used.
