d218d11133 tcp: Generalized TTL Security Mechanism
This patch adds the kernel portions needed to implement
RFC 5082 Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM).
It is a lightweight security measure against forged
packets causing DoS attacks (for BGP). 

This is already implemented the same way in BSD kernels.
For the necessary Quagga patch 
  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/quagga/dev/17389

Description from Cisco
  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gt_btsh.html

It does add one byte to each socket structure, but I did
a little rearrangement to reuse a hole (on 64 bit), but it
does grow the structure on 32 bit

This should be documented on ip(4) man page and the Glibc in.h
file also needs update.  IPV6_MINHOPLIMIT should also be added
(although BSD doesn't support that).  

Only TCP is supported, but could also be added to UDP, DCCP, SCTP
if desired.

7f635d0d1b netfilter: xt_osf: change %pi4 to %pI4
commit 8a27f7c90f
changed the output style of %pi4 to use fixed
width leading zero IP addresses "001.002.003.004".

It's useful when printing multiple lines of
addresses, but was a change in output style for
some existing uses.

Using %pI4 restores the previous output style.

045cfb71a3 mac80211: fix queue selection for packets injected via monitor interface
Commit 'mac80211: fix skb buffering issue' added an ->ndo_select_queue()
for monitor interfaces which can end up dereferencing ieee802_1d_to_ac[]
beyond the end of the array for injected data packets (as skb->priority
isn't guaranteed to be zero or within [0:7]), which then triggers the
WARN_ON in net/core/dev.c:dev_cap_txqueue().  Fix this by always setting
the priority to zero on injected data frames.

2d13bafeba net: Make it easier to parse /proc/net/dev contents.
The contents of /proc/net/dev is annoying to parse, because
it changes whether there is a space after the "ethX:" or not.
It depends upon the size of the "Receive bytes" counter,
if the number is below 7 digits, then there is whitespaces
else if the number is 8 digits or above there is no space
between the ":" and the number.

This patch changes the output to assure there is always a space
between the ":" and the number.  Given that all existing userspace
application already need to handle the whitespaces, I see
no breakage of existing tools.

65324144b5 net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router.  As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

This patch fixes up a problem with found with commit
1f3c8804ac.  The original change
overloaded null_or_orig, but doing that prevented any packet handlers
that were not tied to a specific device (i.e. ptype->dev == NULL) from
ever receiving any frames.

The null_or_orig variable cannot be overloaded, and must be kept as NULL
to prevent the frame from being ignored by packet handlers designed to
accept frames on any interface.

7ad6848c7e ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addresses
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families
(i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel
destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the
sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled.

The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket
(e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part).  setsockopt sets the inner
family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel
it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different
will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

b292cf9ce7 sunrpc: fix peername failed on closed listener
There're some warnings of "nfsd: peername failed (err 107)!"
socket error -107 means Transport endpoint is not connected.
This warning message was outputed by svc_tcp_accept() [net/sunrpc/svcsock.c],
when kernel_getpeername returns -107. This means socket might be CLOSED.

And svc_tcp_accept was called by svc_recv() [net/sunrpc/svc_xprt.c]

        if (test_bit(XPT_LISTENER, &xprt->xpt_flags)) {
        <snip>
                newxpt = xprt->xpt_ops->xpo_accept(xprt);
        <snip>

So this might happen when xprt->xpt_flags has both XPT_LISTENER and XPT_CLOSE.

Let's take a look at commit b0401d72, this commit has moved the close
processing after do recvfrom method, but this commit also introduces this
warnings, if the xpt_flags has both XPT_LISTENER and XPT_CLOSED, we should
close it, not accpet then close.

fc5f75773c mac80211: fix ieee80211_change_mac() to use struct sockaddr
Setting the mac address from user space was buggy. For example, when
executing this command:

ip link set wlan0 address 00:1f:df:88:cd:55

mac80211 used the address 01:00:00:1f:df:88 instead. It was shifted two
bytes.

The reason was that the addr (type of void *) provided to
ieee80211_change_mac() is actually of type struct sockaddr, not just the
mac address array. Also the call to eth_mac_addr() expects the address to
be struct sockaddr.

This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.

The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

6f7edb4881 IPVS: Allow boot time change of hash size
I was very frustrated about the fact that I have to recompile the kernel
to change the hash size. So, I created this patch.

If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel
command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add
options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??.

To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at
compile time, and that will be used as default.

It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted
and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data.

Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem
to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes:

We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (212 =
4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million
connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps
load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry
consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*.

To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel,
with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled
with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (218 = 262144 entries). I built a
quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic
mirrored by the switch to the test host.

With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si
CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in
ip_vs_conn_in_get:

samples  %        image name               app name
symbol name
1719761  42.3741  ip_vs.ko                 ip_vs.ko      ip_vs_conn_in_get
302577    7.4554  bnx2                     bnx2          /bnx2
181984    4.4840  vmlinux                  vmlinux       __ticket_spin_lock
128636    3.1695  vmlinux                  vmlinux       ip_route_input
74345     1.8318  ip_vs.ko                 ip_vs.ko      ip_vs_conn_out_get
68482     1.6874  vmlinux                  vmlinux       mwait_idle

After loading the recompiled kernel with 218 entries, %si CPU usage
dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier,
with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get:

samples  %        image name               app name
symbol name
265641   14.4616  bnx2                     bnx2         /bnx2

140661    7.6576  ip_vs.ko                 ip_vs.ko     ip_vs_conn_in_get
94364     5.1372  vmlinux                  vmlinux      mwait_idle
86267     4.6964  vmlinux                  vmlinux      ip_route_input

04bcef2a83 ipvs: Add boundary check on ioctl arguments
The ipvs code has a nifty system for doing the size of ioctl command
copies; it defines an array with values into which it indexes the cmd
to find the right length.

Unfortunately, the ipvs code forgot to check if the cmd was in the
range that the array provides, allowing for an index outside of the
array, which then gives a "garbage" result into the length, which
then gets used for copying into a stack buffer.

Fix this by adding sanity checks on these as well as the copy size.

obj has type struct snmp_object **, not struct snmp_object *.  But indeed
it is not even clear why kmalloc is needed.  The memory is freed by the end
of the function, so the local variable of pointer type should be sufficient.

It uses the 'midlayer private' pointer ml_priv and links the filters directly

cat /proc/net/rose displayed a rose sockets abnormal lci value, i.e.
greater than maximum number of VCs per neighbour allowed.
This number prevents further test of lci value during rose operations.

Example (lines shortened) :
[bernard]# cat /proc/net/rose
dest_addr  dest_call src_addr   src_call  dev   lci neigh st vs vr va
*          *         2080175520 F6BVP-1   rose0 000 00000  0  0  0  0
2080175520 FPAD-0    2080175520 WP-0      rose0 FFE 00001  3  0  0  0

Here are the default parameters :

linux/include/net/rose.h:#define ROSE_DEFAULT_MAXVC 50 /* Maximum number of VCs per neighbour */
linux/net/rose/af_rose.c:int sysctl_rose_maximum_vcs = ROSE_DEFAULT_MAXVC;

With the following patch, rose_loopback_timer() attributes a VC number
