Conflicts:
	drivers/vhost/net.c
	net/bridge/br_device.c

Fix merge conflict in drivers/vhost/net.c with guidance from
Stephen Rothwell.

Revert the effects of net-2.6 commit 573201f36f
since net-next-2.6 has fixes that make bridge netpoll work properly thus
we don't need it disabled.

d9a9dc66eb IPv6: fix CoA check in RH2 input handler (mip6_rthdr_input())
The input handler for Type 2 Routing Header (mip6_rthdr_input())
checks if the CoA in the packet matches the CoA in the XFRM state.

Current check is buggy: it compares the adddress in the Type 2
Routing Header, i.e. the HoA, against the expected CoA in the state.
The comparison should be made against the address in the destination
field of the IPv6 header.

The bug remained unnoticed because the main (and possibly only current)
user of the code (UMIP MIPv6 Daemon) initializes the XFRM state with the
unspecified address, i.e. explicitly allows everything.

Yoshifuji-san, can you ack that one?

7ba4291007 inet, inet6: make tcp_sendmsg() and tcp_sendpage() through inet_sendmsg() and inet_sendpage()
a new boolean flag no_autobind is added to structure proto to avoid the autobind
calls when the protocol is TCP. Then sock_rps_record_flow() is called int the
TCP's sendmsg() and sendpage() pathes.

While using xfrm by MARK feature in
2.6.34 - 2.6.35 kernels, the mark
is always cleared in flowi structure via memset in
_decode_session4 (net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c), so

d6bebca92c fragment: add fast path for in-order fragments
add fast path for in-order fragments

As the fragments are sent in order in most of OSes, such as Windows, Darwin and
FreeBSD, it is likely the new fragments are at the end of the inet_frag_queue.
In the fast path, we check if the skb at the end of the inet_frag_queue is the
prev we expect.

4ce3c183fc snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all arches
/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/netstat expose SNMP counters.

Width of these counters is either 32 or 64 bits, depending on the size
of "unsigned long" in kernel.

This means user program parsing these files must already be prepared to
deal with 64bit values, regardless of user program being 32 or 64 bit.

This patch introduces 64bit snmp values for IPSTAT mib, where some
counters can wrap pretty fast if they are 32bit wide.

7eb9282cd0 netfilter: ipt_LOG/ip6t_LOG: add option to print decoded MAC header
The LOG targets print the entire MAC header as one long string, which is not
readable very well:

IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:15:f2:24:91:f8:00:1b:24:dc:61:e6:08:00 ...

Add an option to decode known header formats (currently just ARPHRD_ETHER devices)
in their individual fields:

IN=eth0 OUT= MACSRC=00:1b:24:dc:61:e6 MACDST=00:15:f2:24:91:f8 MACPROTO=0800 ...
IN=eth0 OUT= MACSRC=00:1b:24:dc:61:e6 MACDST=00:15:f2:24:91:f8 MACPROTO=86dd ...

The option needs to be explicitly enabled by userspace to avoid breaking
existing parsers.

734f614bc1 syncookies: do not store rcv_wscale in tcp timestamp
As pointed out by Fernando Gont there is no need to encode rcv_wscale
into the cookie.

We did not use the restored rcv_wscale anyway; it is recomputed
via tcp_select_initial_window().

Thus we can save 4 bits in the ts option space by removing rcv_wscale.
In case window scaling was not supported, we set the (invalid) wscale
value 0xf.

8c76368174 syncookies: check decoded options against sysctl settings
Discard the ACK if we find options that do not match current sysctl
settings.

Previously it was possible to create a connection with sack, wscale,
etc. enabled even if the feature was disabled via sysctl.

Also remove an unneeded call to tcp_sack_reset() in
cookie_check_timestamp: Both call sites (cookie_v4_check,
cookie_v6_check) zero "struct tcp_options_received", hand it to
tcp_parse_options() (which does not change tcp_opt->num_sacks/dsack)
and then call cookie_check_timestamp().

Even if num_sacks/dsacks were changed, the structure is allocated on
the stack and after cookie_check_timestamp returns only a few selected
members are copied to the inet_request_sock.

2bbdf389a9 ipv6: syncookies: do not skip ->iif initialization
When syncookies are in effect, req->iif is left uninitialized.
In case of e.g. link-local addresses the route lookup then fails
and no syn-ack is sent.

Rearrange things so ->iif is also initialized in the syncookie case.

want_cookie can only be true when the isn was zero, thus move the want_cookie
check into the "!isn" branch.

NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked
twice per packet. This is bad for performance.
__read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice.

This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a

A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to
nf_conntrack_untracked.

Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add
IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status.

nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.

20c59de2e6 ipv6: Refactor update of IPv6 flowi destination address for srcrt (RH) option
There are more than a dozen occurrences of following code in the
IPv6 stack:

    if (opt && opt->srcrt) {
            struct rt0_hdr *rt0 = (struct rt0_hdr *) opt->srcrt;
            ipv6_addr_copy(&final, &fl.fl6_dst);
            ipv6_addr_copy(&fl.fl6_dst, rt0->addr);
            final_p = &final;
    }

Replace those with a helper. Note that the helper overrides final_p
in all cases. This is ok as final_p was previously initialized to
NULL when declared.

aac4dddc35 ipv6: get rid of ipip6_prl_lock
As noticed by Julia Lawall, ipip6_tunnel_add_prl() incorrectly calls 
kzallloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) while a spinlock is held. She provided
a patch to use GFP_ATOMIC instead.

One possibility would be to convert this spinlock to a mutex, or
preallocate the thing before taking the lock.

After RCU conversion, it appears we dont need this lock, since 
caller already holds RTNL

b1faf56664 net: sock_queue_err_skb() dont mess with sk_forward_alloc
Correct sk_forward_alloc handling for error_queue would need to use a
backlog of frames that softirq handler could not deliver because socket
is owned by user thread. Or extend backlog processing to be able to
process normal and error packets.

Another possibility is to not use mem charge for error queue, this is
what I implemented in this patch.

Note: this reverts commit 29030374
(net: fix sk_forward_alloc corruptions), since we dont need to lock
socket anymore.
