Bruce Allan 69e1e0197c e1000e: fix .ndo_set_rx_mode for 82579
Secondary unicast and multicast addresses are added to the Receive
Address registers (RAR) for most parts supported by the driver.  For
82579, there is only one actual RAR and a number of Shared Receive Address
registers (SHRAR) that are shared among the driver and f/w which can be
reserved and write-protected by the f/w.  On this device, use the SHRARs
that are not taken by f/w for the additional addresses.

Add a MAC ops function pointer infrastructure (similar to other MAC
operations in the driver) for setting RARs, introduce a new rar_set
function for 82579 and convert the existing code that sets RARs on other
devices to a generic rar_set function.

Bruce Allan 62bc813e48 e1000e: workaround EEPROM configuration change on 82579
An update to the EEPROM on 82579 will extend a delay in hardware to fix an
issue with WoL not working after a G3->S5 transition which is unrelated to
the driver.  However, this extended delay conflicts with nominal operation
of the device when it is initialized by the driver and after every reset
of the hardware (i.e. the driver starts configuring the device before the
hardware is done with it's own configuration work).  The workaround for
when the driver is in control of the device is to tell the hardware after
every reset the configuration delay should be the original shorter one.

Some pre-existing variables are renamed generically to be re-used with
new register accesses.

The netlink API lets users create unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels using
iproute2. Until now, a request to create an unmanaged L2TPv3 IP
encapsulation tunnel over IPv6 would be rejected with
EPROTONOSUPPORT. Now that l2tp_ip6 implements sockets for L2TP IP
encapsulation over IPv6, we can add support for that tunnel type.

L2TPv3 defines an IP encapsulation packet format where data is carried
directly over IP (no UDP). The kernel already has support for L2TP IP

RongQing.Li d344c4f310 pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on reset
The reset logic after a Rx FIFO overrun will clear the programmed
multicast addresses. This patch fixes the issue by reprogramming the
registers after the reset.

The commit eefc48b ("pch_gbe: reprogram multicast address register on

codes. In fact, all multicast addresses have been saved in netdev->mc,
So we can call pch_gbe_set_multi() directly after reset_hw and
reset_rx.

This commit kills 50+ line codes

TCP coalesce can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a

We had to disable coalescing in this case, for performance reasons.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copies, since a
less sk_buff are fetched.

This makes receive and ofo queues shorter and thus reduce cache line
misses in TCP stack.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

Tested with tg3 nic, with GRO on or off. We can see "TCPRcvCoalesce"

Eric Dumazet d3836f21b0 net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment
skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but
has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if
needed.

We have three spots were it hurts :

1) GRO aggregation

 When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the
frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff
around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network
stack aren't enabling full GRO power.

2) splice(socket -> pipe).

 We must copy the linear part to a page fragment.
 This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim)

3) TCP coalescing.

 Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments
into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory,
and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing
doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be
too slow)

Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility
of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag,
skb->head_frag to carry this information.

build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing
to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero
value, set to the fragment size.

Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself,
we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various
fallbacks we have.

This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the
current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb
truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes
bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear
part, no need to copy data.

Paul Gortmaker 617d3c7a50 tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns
Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two
functions, or between blocks of code.  Delete the extra line
feeds between any comment and its associated following block
of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of
the kernel.  Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix
a couple trivial typos in existing comments.

This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact.  We get
rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes,
they won't even show up as noise in git blame.

Herbert Xu bb63f1f8a0 bridge: Fix fatal typo in setup of multicast_querier_expired
Unfortunately it seems that I didn't properly test the case of
an expired external querier in the recent multicast bridge series.

The setup of the timer in that case is completely broken and leads
to a NULL-pointer dereference.  This patch fixes it.

Benjamin LaHaise d2cf336167 net/l2tp: add support for L2TP over IPv6 UDP
Now that encap_rcv() works on IPv6 UDP sockets, wire L2TP up to IPv6.
Support has been tested with and without hardware offloading.  This
version fixes the L2TP over localhost issue with incorrect checksums
being reported.
