Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY
requires special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's
clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the
data path. We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY
Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker

This patch addresses the following problems:
1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
(DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
`minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:* "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"
* "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.
Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.
Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.

This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
* if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
* if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
* although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown
A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).
Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean
`TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker

Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally
submitted by "Glenn Griffin" ; modified by
Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.Glenn's original comment follows:
Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.Signed-off-by: "Glenn Griffin"

Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it. This is done automatically for userspace.The following auxiliary changes are also made:
(1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
linux/key-type.h.(2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.(3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
__KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.(3) Documentation.
