menuconfig IEEE802154_DRIVERS is a bool that depends on tristate IEEE802154.
If the IEEE802154 symbol is 'm', the bool becomes 'y'.
This allows tristate symbols under IEEE802154_DRIVERS to be configured as
'y' and cause build problems.
Changing the menuconfig bool to a tristate fixes this.drivers/built-in.o: In function `fake_scan_req':

The bonding device acts unlike all other Linux network device functions
in that it ignores case of device names. The developer must have come

It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in

This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast
listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option.The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep
the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next
packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed
events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them
once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state
transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point.At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make
sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the
conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying
list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer
is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds
to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via
/proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows
distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating
lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may
re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus
the conntrack ID.The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is
still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping
packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack
entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to
userspace.During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer
of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket
flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed
very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend.A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of
entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch
which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag)
and invoke `conntrack -F'.For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch.
Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no
events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation).
In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement
the same idea that is exposed in this patch.This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We
still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation
and destroy time.Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

This patch adds the hlist_nulls_add_head() function which is
based on hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu() but without the use of
rcu_assign_pointer(). It also adds hlist_nulls_del which is
exactly the same like hlist_nulls_del_rcu().Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

This patch moves the helper destruction to a function that lives
in nf_conntrack_helper.c. This new function is used in the patch

This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack
extension infrastructure.The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack
if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the
reliable event delivery that follows to this patch.BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via
/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although
you can still disable event caching as compilation option.Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso

Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/
add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer,
so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't
accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process
of being destroyed.With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all,
counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock.Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

This patch changes FDB entry check for ATM LANE bridge integration.
There's no point in holding a FDB entry around SKB building.br_fdb_get()/br_fdb_put() pair are changed into single br_fdb_test_addr()
hook that checks if the addr has FDB entry pointing to other port
to the one the request arrived on.FDB entry refcounting is removed as it's not used anywhere else.

Commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce " [NET] core: add
RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its
documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user
space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new
flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width.Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change
the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no
effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86
code.A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user
space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no
one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still
accessible via netlink.Reported-by: "Fredrik Arnerup"
