With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which
have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets
to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too.
Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where
multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not
sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise:
MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism
for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2
querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not
going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according
to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers:
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------
{Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener}
---------------
\ ^
-------
| br0 | < ???
-------
\
_-~---~_
_-~/ ~-_
~ batman-adv \-----{Sender}
\~_ cloud ~/
-~~__-__-~_/
I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded
II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier}
-> br0 cannot detect the {Listener}
=> Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all
detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers,
because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no
trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners.
Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the
according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or
unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes
IPv6 multicast packet, too.
The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed
because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).
Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.
Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.

from the upstream of this node...
* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the

We need to ensure that we do not send events to user space with the
identity address if we have not yet notified user space of the IRK. The
code was previously trying to handle this for the mgmt_pair_device
response (which worked well enough) but this is not the only connection
related event that might be sent to user space before pairing is
successful: another important event is Device Disconnected.
The issue can actually be solved more simply than the solution
previously used for mgmt_pair_device. Since we do have the identity
address tracked as part of the remote IRK struct we can just copy it
over from there to the hci_conn struct once we've for real sent the mgmt

On 2.4Ghz band, the channels overlap since the delta
between different channels is 5Mhz while the width of the
receiver is 20Mhz (at least).
This means that we can hear beacons or probe responses from
adjacent channels. These frames will have a significant
lower RSSI which will feed all kinds of logic with inaccurate
data. An obvious example is the roaming algorithm that will
think our AP is getting weak and will try to move to another
AP.
In order to avoid this, update the signal only if the frame
has been heard on the same channel as the one advertised by
the AP in its DS / HT IEs.
We refrain from updating the values only if the AP is
already in the BSS list so that we will still have a valid
(but inaccurate) value if the AP was heard on an adjacent
channel only.
To achieve this, stop taking the channel from DS / HT IEs
in mac80211. The DS / HT IEs is taken into account to
discard the frame if it was received on a disabled channel.
This can happen due to the same phenomenon: the frame is
sent on channel 12, but heard on channel 11 while channel
12 can be disabled on certain devices. Since this check
is done in cfg80211, stop even checking this in mac80211.

2) Introduce xfrm_input_afinfo to access the address family
dependent tunnel callback functions properly.
3) Add and use a IPsec protocol multiplexer for ipv6.
4) Remove dst_entry caching. vti can lookup multiple different
dst entries, dependent of the configured xfrm states. Therefore
it does not make to cache a dst_entry.
5) Remove caching of flow informations. vti6 does not use the the
tunnel endpoint addresses to do route and xfrm lookups.
6) Update the vti6 to use its own receive hook.
7) Remove the now unused xfrm_tunnel_notifier. This was used from vti
and is replaced by the IPsec protocol multiplexer hooks.
8) Support inter address family tunneling for vti6.

are matching and return an error otherwise.

The SMP specification is written with the assumption that both key
information, plaintextData and encryptedData follow the same little
endian byte ordering as the rest of SMP.
Since the kernel crypto routines expect big endian data the code has had
to do various byte swapping tricks to make the behavior as expected,
however the swapping has been scattered all around the place.
This patch centralizes the byte order swapping into the smp_e function
by making its public interface match what the other SMP functions expect
as per specification. The benefit is vastly simplified calls to smp_e.

The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll
rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation
of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel.
All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call
netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this
change should not add any additional breakage.
There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx
does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq
context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception
of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding,
team, bridge, and vlans).
Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no
out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has
not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it.
Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone
who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support.

Change the strategy of netpoll from dropping all packets received
during netpoll_poll_dev to calling napi poll with a budget of 0
(to avoid processing drivers rx queue), and to ignore packets received
with netif_rx (those will safely be placed on the backlog queue).
All of the netpoll supporting drivers have been reviewed to ensure
either thay use netif_rx or that a budget of 0 is supported by their
napi poll routine and that a budget of 0 will not process the drivers
rx queues.
Not dropping packets makes NETPOLL_RX_DROP unnecesary so it is removed.
npinfo->rx_flags is removed as rx_flags with just the NETPOLL_RX_ENABLED
flag becomes just a redundant mirror of list_empty(&npinfo->rx_np).

With current match design every invocation of the connlimit_match

in the conntrack table [ to perform GC/delete stale entries ].
This is also the reason why ____nf_conntrack_find() in perf top has

This patch changes the storage to rbtree which cuts down the number of
ct objects that need testing.
When looking up a new tuple, we only test the connections of the host
objects we visit while searching for the wanted host/network (or
the leaf we need to insert at).
The slot count is reduced to 32. Increasing slot count doesn't
speed up things much because of rbtree nature.

With this patch, vti6 uses the IPsec protocol multiplexer to

Vti6 now does the following on receive side:
1. Do an input policy check for the IPsec packet we received.
This is required because this packet could be already
prosecces by IPsec, so an inbuond policy check is needed.
2. Mark the packet with the i_key. The policy and the state
must match this key now. Policy and state belong to the vti
namespace and policy enforcement is done at the further layers.
3. Call the generic xfrm layer to do decryption and decapsulation.
4. Wait for a callback from the xfrm layer to properly clean the
skb to not leak informations on namespace transitions and
update the device statistics.
On transmit side:
1. Mark the packet with the o_key. The policy and the state
must match this key now.
2. Do a xfrm_lookup on the original packet with the mark applied.
3. Check if we got an IPsec route.
4. Clean the skb to not leak informations on namespace
transitions.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the
wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale
back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the
game.
Anyways:
1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which
is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does
something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes.
From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann.
2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the
fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the
release callbacks.
This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving
variables and such significantly clearer names such that the
actual fix itself at the end looks trivial.
From Michael S. Tsirkin.
3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on
an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet.
4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the
destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes
multicast address. From Linus Lüssing.
5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter
for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from
Alexei Starovoitov.
6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the
r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang.
7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see
if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It
should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu.
8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from
Matthew Leach.
9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's
ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts
in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring.
10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct
order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan
Wahren.
11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann.
12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and
Erik Hugne.
13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all
frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can
crash. Fix from Florian Westphal.
14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it
uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton
Blanchard.
The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only
as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a
correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for
csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the
same data if their respective alignments are different.
15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also
from Anton Blanchard.
16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed,
from Anton Nayshtut.
17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the
garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca.
18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the
chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular
causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan.
19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as
currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations.
From Eric Dumazet.

tmp_prefered_lft is an offset to ifp->tstamp, not now. Therefore
age needs to be added to the condition.
Age calculation in ipv6_create_tempaddr is different from the one
in addrconf_verify and doesn't consider ADDRCONF_TIMER_FUZZ_MINUS.
This can cause age in ipv6_create_tempaddr to be less than the one
in addrconf_verify and therefore unnecessary temporary address to
be generated.
Use age calculation as in addrconf_modify to avoid this.

This is basically just to let Coverity et al shut up. Remove an
unneeded NULL check in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path().
It is safe to remove it, because in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path()
we iterate over the list of transports, our own transport which is
asoc->peer.retran_path included. In the iteration, we skip the
list head element and transports in state SCTP_UNCONFIRMED.
Such transports came from peer addresses received in INIT/INIT-ACK
address parameters. They are not yet confirmed by a heartbeat and
not available for data transfers.
We know however that in the list of transports, even if it contains
such elements, it at least contains our asoc->peer.retran_path as
well, so even if next to that element, we only encounter
SCTP_UNCONFIRMED transports, we are always going to fall back to
asoc->peer.retran_path through sctp_trans_elect_best(), as that is
for sure not SCTP_UNCONFIRMED as per fbdf501c93 ("sctp: Do no
select unconfirmed transports for retransmissions").
Whenever we call sctp_trans_elect_best() it will give us a non-NULL
element back, and therefore when we break out of the loop, we are
guaranteed to have a non-NULL transport pointer, and can remove
the NULL check.

Commit 975508879 "Bluetooth: make bluetooth 6lowpan as an option"
ensures that 6LOWPAN_IPHC is turned on when we have BT_6LOWPAN
enabled in Kconfig, but it allows building the IPHC code as
a loadable module even if the entire Bluetooth stack is built-in,
and that causes a link error.
We can solve that by moving the 'select' statement into CONFIG_BT,
which is a "tristate" option to enforce that 6LOWPAN_IPHC can
only be a module if BT also is a module.

As an artefact from the native interface, the message sending functions
in the port takes a port ref as first parameter, and then looks up in
the registry to find the corresponding port pointer. This despite the
fact that the only currently existing caller, tipc_sock, already knows
this pointer.
We change the signature of these functions to take a struct tipc_port*
argument, and remove the redundant lookups.
We also remove an unmotivated extra lookup in the function
socket.c:auto_connect(), and, as the lookup functions tipc_port_deref()
and ref_deref() now become unused, we remove these two functions.

Due to the original one-to-many relation between port and user API
layers, upcalls to the API have been performed via function pointers,
installed in struct tipc_port at creation. Since this relation now
always is one-to-one, we can instead use ordinary function calls.
We remove the function pointers 'dispatcher' and ´wakeup' from
struct tipc_port, and replace them with calls to the renamed
functions tipc_sk_rcv() and tipc_sk_wakeup().
At the same time we change the name and signature of the functions
tipc_createport() and tipc_deleteport() to reflect their new role
as mere initialization/destruction functions.

After the removal of the tipc native API the relation between
a tipc_port and its API types is strictly one-to-one, i.e, the
latter can now only be a socket API. There is therefore no need
to allocate struct tipc_port and struct sock independently.
In this commit, we aggregate struct tipc_port into struct tipc_sock,
hence saving both CPU cycles and structure complexity.
There are no functional changes in this commit, except for the
elimination of the separate allocation/freeing of tipc_port.
All other changes are just adaptatons to the new data structure.
This commit also opens up for further code simplifications and
code volume reduction, something we will do in later commits.

therefore they will not respond with an IGMP/MLD report. However,

To avoid flooding the host with useless advertising reports during
background scan, we enable the duplicates filter from controller.
However, enabling duplicates filter requires a small change in
background scan routine in order to fix the following scenario:
1) Background scan is running.
2) A device disconnects and starts advertising.
3) Before host gets the disconnect event, the advertising is reported
to host. Since there is no pending LE connection at that time,
nothing happens.
4) Host gets the disconnection event and adds a pending connection.
5) No advertising is reported (since controller is filtering) and the
connection is never established.
So, to address this scenario, we should always restart background scan
to unsure we don't miss any advertising report (due to duplicates
filter).
