A while back there was a discussion regarding the rt_secret_interval timer.
Given that we've had the ability to do emergency route cache rebuilds for awhile
now, based on a statistical analysis of the various hash chain lengths in the
cache, the use of the flush timer is somewhat redundant. This patch removes the
rt_secret_interval sysctl, allowing us to rely solely on the statistical
analysis mechanism to determine the need for route cache flushes.

Introduce ____napi_schedule() helper for callers in irq disabled
contexts. rps_trigger_softirq() becomes a leaf function.
Use container_of() in process_backlog() instead of accessing per_cpu
address.
Use a custom inlined version of __napi_complete() in process_backlog()
to avoid one locked instruction :
only current cpu owns and manipulates this napi,
and NAPI_STATE_SCHED is the only possible flag set on backlog.
we can use a plain write instead of clear_bit(),
and we dont need an smp_mb() memory barrier, since RPS is on,
backlog is protected by a spinlock.

Adding addresses and ports to the short packet log message,
like ipv4/udp.c does it, makes these messages a lot more useful:
[ 822.182450] UDPv6: short packet: From [2001:db8:ffb4:3::1]:47839 23715/178 to [2001:db8:ffb4:3:5054:ff:feff:200]:1234

Based on the previous patch, make bridge support netpoll by:
1) implement the 2 methods to support netpoll for bridge;
2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets via bridge;
3) disable netpoll support of bridge when a netpoll-unabled device
is added to bridge;
4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.

This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding
devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.
To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:
1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
at run-time;
2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
removed.
3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;
4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.
5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.
6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink
simulator :
- 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz
- 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port)
- RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0
- rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second)
- SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload)
- tg3 NIC
- 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level.
Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch
first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part.
Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead
of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.
All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in
__alloc_skb().

When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still

sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
a channel variable setting.
Note that this can be further improved to start
the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID

This allows enabling TX and disabling both TX and
RX aggregation sessions manually in debugfs. It is
very useful for debugging session initiation and
teardown problems since with this you don't have
to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and
thus have less data to analyse.
Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim

sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we
need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.
RCU conversion is pretty much needed :
1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).
[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]
2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().
3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"
4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"
5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep
6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.
7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
- Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
- Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
- Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.
9) Exceptions :
macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.
Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible
sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

Right now, if the highest tsn in the SACK doesn't change, we'll
end up scanning the transmitted lists on the transports twice:
once for locating the highest _new_ tsn, and once for actually
tagging chunks as acked. This is a waste, since we can record
the highest _new_ tsn at the same time as tagging chunks. Long
ago this was not possible because we would try to mark chunks
as missing at the same time as tagging them acked and this approach
didn't work. Now that the two steps are separate, we can re-use
the old approach.

This patch introduces lock_sock_bh() and unlock_sock_bh()

skb_free_datagram_locked() uses them instead of full blown

Its an skb_over_panic BUG halt that results from processing an init chunk in
which too many of its variable length parameters are in some way malformed.
The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param:
if (NULL == *errp)
*errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk,
ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length));
if (*errp) {
sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)));
sctp_addto_chunk(*errp,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)),
param.v);
When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires
that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally,
given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately,
we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error
chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation
requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data.
The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a
