Remove the copy of the MD5 authentication key from tcp_check_req().
This key has already been copied by tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() or
tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock().Signed-off-by: John Dykstra

Maintain a per-qdisc bitmap for pfifo_fast giving availability
of skbs for each band. This allows faster lookup for a skb when
there are no high priority skbs. Also, it helps in (rare) cases
when there are no skbs on the list, where an immediate lookup is
faster than iterating through the three bands.Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar

When processing a received IPv6 Router Advertisement, the kernel
creates or updates an IPv6 Neighbor Cache entry for the sender --
but presently this does not occur if IPv6 forwarding is enabled
(net.ipv6.conf.*.forwarding = 1), or if IPv6 Router Advertisements
are not accepted (net.ipv6.conf.*.accept_ra = 0), because in these
cases processing of the Router Advertisement has already halted.This patch allows the Neighbor Cache to be updated in these cases,
while still avoiding any modification to routes or link parameters.This continues to satisfy RFC 4861, since any entry created in the
Neighbor Cache as the result of a received Router Advertisement is
still placed in the STALE state.Signed-off-by: David Ward

There is a race condition in the time-wait sockets code that can lead
to premature termination of FIN_WAIT2 and, subsequently, to RST
generation when the FIN,ACK from the peer finally arrives:Time TCP header

instance inet_twdr_do_twkill_work returns 1. At that point we will
mark slot 1 and schedule inet_twdr_twkill_work. We will also make
twdr->slot = 2.Next, a connection is closed and tcp_time_wait(TCP_FIN_WAIT2, timeo)
is called which will create a new FIN_WAIT2 time-wait socket and will
place it in the last to be reached slot, i.e. twdr->slot = 1.At this point say inet_twdr_twkill_work will run which will start
destroying the time-wait sockets in slot 1, including the just added
TCP_FIN_WAIT2 one.To avoid this issue we increment the slot only if all entries in the
slot have been purged.This change may delay the slots cleanup by a time-wait death row
period but only if the worker thread didn't had the time to run/purge
the current slot in the next period (6 seconds with default sysctl
settings). However, on such a busy system even without this change we
would probably see delays...Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila

Here is rework and cleanup of the resize function.
Some bugs we had. We were using ->parent when we should use
node_parent(). Also we used ->parent which is not assigned by
inflate in inflate loop.Also a fix to set thresholds to power 2 to fit halve
and double strategy.max_resize is renamed to max_work which better indicates
it's function.Reaching max_work is not an error, so warning is removed.
max_work only limits amount of work done per resize.
(limits CPU-usage, outstanding memory etc).The clean-up makes it relatively easy to add fixed sized
root-nodes if we would like to decrease the memory pressure
on routers with large routing tables and dynamic routing.
If we'll need that...Its been tested with 280k routes.
Work done together with Robert Olsson.

if tunnel parameters have frag_off set to IP_DF, pmtudisc on the ipv4 link
will be performed by deriving the mtu from the ipv4 link and setting the
DF-Flag of the encapsulating IPv4 Header. If fragmentation is needed on the
way, the IPv4 pmtu gets adjusted, the ipv6 package will be resent eventually,
using the new and lower mtu and everyone is happy.If the frag_off parameter is unset, the mtu for the tunnel will be derived
from the tunnel device or the ipv6 pmtu, which might be higher than the ipv4
pmtu. In that case we must allow the fragmentation of the IPv4 packet because
the IPv6 mtu wouldn't 'learn' from the adjusted IPv4 pmtu, resulting in
frequent icmp_frag_needed and package loss on the IPv6 layer.This patch allows fragmentation when tunnel was created with parameter
nopmtudisc, like in ipip/gre tunnels.Signed-off-by: Sascha Hlusiak

While doing some forwarding benchmarks, I noticed
ip_rt_send_redirect() is rather expensive, even if send_redirects is
false for the device.Fix is to avoid two atomic ops, we dont really need to take a

Do some reorganization of transmit logic path:
* move transmit queue full idle to separate routine
* add a cpu_relax()
* eliminate some of the uneeded goto's
* if queue is still stopped, go back to main thread loop.
* don't give up transmitting if quantum is exhausted (be greedy)Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

TX completions were running in a workqueue queued by the ISR. This
patch moves the processing of TX completions to an existing RSS NAPI
context.
Now each irq vector runs NAPI for one RSS ring and one or more TX
completion rings.Signed-off-by: Ron Mercer

Currently we downshift to MSI/Legacy if we don't get enough vectors for
cpu_count RSS rings plus cpu_count TX completion rings. This patch
allows running MSIX with the vector count that the platform provides.Signed-off-by: Ron Mercer
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
Currently we have three types of RX rings.
1) Default ring - services rx_ring for broadcast/multicast, handles
firmware events, and errors.2) TX completion ring - handles only outbound completions.
3) RSS ring - handles only inbound completions.
This patch gets rid of the default ring type and moves it's functionality
into the first RSS ring. This makes better use of MSIX vectors since
they are a limited resource on some platforms.Signed-off-by: Ron Mercer

bonding: Have bond_check_dev_link examine netif_running
Some network devices do not call netif_carrier_off when they
are set administratively down. Have the bonding link check function
also inspect the netif_running state. Ignore netif_running if the
bond_check_dev_link function is called with "reporting" set, as in that
case it's inspecting the capabilities of the non-netif_carrier device
driver.Signed-off-by: Petri Gynther
