Add underlying data structure changes and basic setsockopt()
and getsockopt() support for IPV6_RECVPATHMTU, IPV6_PATHMTU,
and IPV6_DONTFRAG. IPV6_PATHMTU is actually fully functional
at this point.

Port autoselection done by kernel only works when number of bound
sockets is under a threshold (typically 30000).
When this threshold is over, we must check if there is a conflict before
exiting first loop in inet_csk_get_port()
Change inet_csk_bind_conflict() to forbid two reuse-enabled sockets to
bind on same (address,port) tuple (with a non ANY address)
Same change for inet6_csk_bind_conflict()

Add an SKF_AD_HATYPE field to the packet ancilliary data area, giving
access to skb->dev->type, as reported in the sll_hatype field.
When capturing packets on a PF_PACKET/SOCK_RAW socket bound to all
interfaces, there doesn't appear to be a way for the filter program to
actually find out the underlying hardware type the packet was captured
on. This patch adds such ability.
This patch also handles the case where skb->dev can be NULL, such as on
netlink sockets.

This patch adds IPv6 support for RFC5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism.
Not to users of mapped address; the IPV6 and IPV4 socket options are seperate.
The server does have to deal with both IPv4 and IPv6 socket options
and the client has to handle the different for each family.
On client:
int ttl = 255;
getaddrinfo(argv[1], argv[2], &hint, &result);
for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) {
s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol);
if (s < 0) continue;
if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET) {
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TTL, &ttl, sizeof(ttl));
} else if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET6) {
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS,
&ttl, sizeof(ttl)))
}
if (connect(s, rp->ai_addr, rp->ai_addrlen) == 0) {
...
On server:
int minttl = 255 - maxhops;
getaddrinfo(NULL, port, &hints, &result);
for (rp = result; rp != NULL; rp = rp->ai_next) {
s = socket(rp->ai_family, rp->ai_socktype, rp->ai_protocol);
if (s < 0) continue;
if (rp->ai_family == AF_INET6)
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_MINHOPCOUNT,
&minttl, sizeof(minttl));
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MINTTL, &minttl, sizeof(minttl));
if (bind(s, rp->ai_addr, rp->ai_addrlen) == 0)

If some skb are queued to our backlog, we are delaying IPI sending at
the end of net_rx_action(), increasing latencies. This defeats the
queueing, since we want to quickly dispatch packets to the pool of
worker cpus, then eventually deeply process our packets.
It's better to send IPI before processing our packets in upper layers,
from process_backlog().
Change the _and_disable_irq suffix to _and_enable_irq(), since we enable
local irq in net_rps_action(), sorry for the confusion.

The issue raises when having 2 NICs both assigned the same
IPv6 global address.
If a sender binds to a particular NIC (SO_BINDTODEVICE),
the outgoing traffic is being sent via the first found.
The bonded device is thus not taken into an account during the
routing.
From the ip6_route_output function:
If the binding address is multicast, linklocal or loopback,
the RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE bit is set, but not for global address.
So binding global address will neglect SO_BINDTODEVICE-binded device,
because the fib6_rule_lookup function path won't check for the
flowi::oif field and take first route that fits.

field less than IPV6_MIN_MTU
According to RFC2460, PMTU is set to the IPv6 Minimum Link
MTU (1280) and a fragment header should always be included
after a node receiving Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU.
After receiving a ICMPv6 Too Big message reporting PMTU is
less than the IPv6 Minimum Link MTU, sctp *can't* send any
data/control chunk that total length including IPv6 head
and IPv6 extend head is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU(1280 bytes).
The failure occured in p6_fragment(), about reason
see following(take SHUTDOWN chunk for example):
sctp_packet_transmit (SHUTDOWN chunk, len=16 byte)
|------sctp_v6_xmit (local_df=0)
|------ip6_xmit
|------ip6_output (dst_allfrag is ture)
|------ip6_fragment
In ip6_fragment(), for local_df=0, drops the the packet
and returns EMSGSIZE.
The patch fixes it with adding check length of skb->len.
In this case, Ipv6 not to fragment upper protocol data,
just only add a fragment header before it.

kill_fasync() uses a central rwlock, candidate for RCU conversion, to
avoid cache line ping pongs on SMP.
fasync_remove_entry() and fasync_add_entry() can disable IRQS on a short
section instead during whole list scan.
Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize kill_fasync_rcu() and
fasync_{remove|add}_entry(). This spinlock is IRQ safe, so sock_fasync()
doesnt need its own implementation and can use fasync_helper(), to
reduce code size and complexity.
We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net/socket.c, and rename it
to kill_fasync_rcu().

("ipv6: Fix tcp_v6_send_response transport header setting.")

invalid, but it's not the whole story.
If we're going to use CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for these things (which we are
since commit 2e8e18ef52e7dd1af0a3bd1f7d990a1d0b249586 "tcp: Set
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skb"), we can't be setting
buff->csum as we always have been here in tcp_v6_send_response. We
need to leave it at zero.

My recent patch to remove the open-coded checksum sequence in
tcp_v6_send_response broke it as we did not set the transport
header pointer on the new packet.
Actually, there is code there trying to set the transport
header properly, but it sets it for the wrong skb ('skb'
instead of 'buff').
This bug was introduced by commit

When IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR is configured by the driver, starting
of ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer should be prevented, as it is then not needed.
This is currently partially the case. As it seems, when a probe-response is
received from the AP the timer is still restarted, thus restarting the host
based connection keep-alive mechanism. These probe-responses happen at least
when scanning while associated.
Fix this by preventing starting of the ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer in the
ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_resp function.

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been
notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This
caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified
when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is
in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the
"oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually
the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change
(BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that
this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense.
Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled
and thus cause driver to be notified correctly.
This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel.
Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any
data, not even ping.

net_rps_action() is a bit expensive on NR_CPUS=64..4096 kernels, even if
RPS is not active.
Tom Herbert used two bitmasks to hold information needed to send IPI,
but a single LIFO list seems more appropriate.
Move all RPS logic into net_rps_action() to cleanup net_rx_action() code
(remove two ifdefs)
Move rps_remote_softirq_cpus into softnet_data to share its first cache
line, filling an existing hole.
In a future patch, we could call net_rps_action() from process_backlog()
to make sure we send IPI before handling this cpu backlog.

Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for

Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb
is freed.
When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this
forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give
tx completion to initial cpu.
David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call
to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning
skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do
this, we could do it in upper level.
There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx
timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can
give a hardware or software timestamp.
This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions
to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit().
"tbench 16" results on a Nehalem machine (2 X5570 @ 2.93GHz)
before: Throughput 4428.9 MB/sec 16 procs
after: Throughput 4448.14 MB/sec 16 procs
UDP should get even better results, its destructor being more complex,
since SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is not set (four atomic ops instead of one)

- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since
other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one
packet processed...
The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and
net_rx_action() already has its own time limit.
Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default
value.
- Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED for softnet_data definition.
