The socket matching function has some nifty logic to get the struct sock
from the skb or from the connection tracker.
We export this so other xt_* can use it, similarly to ho how
xt_socket uses nf_tproxy_get_sock.

PPP handles packet loss but does not work with out of order packets.
This change performs reordering of incoming data packets within a
sliding window of one second. Since sequence number is optional,
receiving a packet without it will drop all queued packets.
Currently the logic is triggered by incoming packets, so queued
packets have to wait till another packet is arrived. It is done for
simplicity since no additional locks or threads are required. For
reliable protocols, a retransmission will kick it. For unreliable
protocols, queued packets just seem like packet loss. Time-critical
protocols might be broken, but they never work with queueing anyway.

This governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads, such as
interactive user interfaces. The interactive governor aims to be
significantly more responsive to ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive
activity begins.
Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically
every X ms. This can lead to under-powering UI threads for the period of
time during which the user begins interacting with a previously-idle system
until the next sample period happens.
The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach. Instead of sampling
the CPU at a specified rate, the governor will check whether to scale the
CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes out of
idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the CPU is very
busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the CPU is
underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed, then
the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed adjustment,
choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or the short-term
load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp to.
A realtime thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks the
CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more likely to
schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved tasks have
completed.
The tuneables for this governor are:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time:
The minimum amount of time to spend at the current frequency before
ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has seen enough
historic CPU load data to determine the appropriate workload.
Default is 80000 uS.
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load
The CPU load at which to ramp to max speed. Default is 85.

net: Fix a potential deadlock while releasing PPPoLAC/PPPoPNS socket.
PPP driver guarantees that no thread will be executing start_xmit() after
returning from ppp_unregister_channel(). To achieve this, a spinlock (downl)
is used. In pppolac_release(), ppp_unregister_channel() is called after sk_udp
is locked. At the same time, another thread might be running in pppolac_xmit()
with downl. Thus a deadlock will occur if the thread tries to lock sk_udp.
The same situation might happen on sk_raw in pppopns_release().

net: Force PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS to bind an interface before creating PPP channel.
It is common to manipulate the routing table after configuring PPP device.
Since both PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS run over IP, care must be taken to make sure
that there is no loop in the routing table.
Although this can be done by adding a host route, it might still cause
problems when the interface is down for some reason.
To solve this, this patch forces both drivers to bind an interface before
creating PPP channel, so the system will not re-route the tunneling sockets
to another interface when the original one is down. Another benefit is that
now the host route is no longer required, so there is no need to remove it
when PPP channel is closed.

net: Avoid sleep-inside-spinlock in PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS.
Since recv() and xmit() are called with a spinlock held, routines which might
sleep cannot be used. This issue is solved by following changes:
Incoming packets are now processed in backlog handler, recv_core(), instead of
recv(). Since backlog handler is always executed with socket spinlock held, the
requirement of ppp_input() is still satisfied.
Outgoing packets are now processed in workqueue handler, xmit_core(), instead of
xmit(). Note that kernel_sendmsg() is no longer used to prevent touching dead
sockets.
In release(), lock_sock() and pppox_unbind_sock() ensure that no thread is in
recv_core() or xmit(). Then socket handlers are restored before release_sock(),
so no packets will leak in backlog queue.

lock the socket, which is safe because it is pinned. We can then call
tcp_done() without recursive deadlock and without race. Upon return, we unlock

synchronize_rcu can be very expensive, averaging 100 ms in
some cases. In cgroup_attach_task, it is used to prevent
a task->cgroups pointer dereferenced in an RCU read side
critical section from being invalidated, by delaying the
call to put_css_set until after an RCU grace period.
To avoid the call to synchronize_rcu, make the put_css_set
call rcu-safe by moving the deletion of the css_set links
into free_css_set_work, scheduled by the rcu callback
free_css_set_rcu.
The decrement of the cgroup refcount is no longer
synchronous with the call to put_css_set, which can result
in the cgroup refcount staying positive after the last call
to cgroup_attach_task returns. To allow the cgroup to be
deleted with cgroup_rmdir synchronously after
cgroup_attach_task, have rmdir check the refcount of all
associated css_sets. If cgroup_rmdir is called on a cgroup
for which the css_sets all have refcount zero but the
cgroup refcount is nonzero, reuse the rmdir waitqueue to
block the rmdir until free_css_set_work is called.

Rather than using explicit euid == 0 checks when trying to move
tasks into a cgroup via CFS, move permission checks into each
specific cgroup subsystem. If a subsystem does not specify a
'allow_attach' handler, then we fall back to doing our checks
the old way.
Use the 'allow_attach' handler for the 'cpu' cgroup to allow
non-root processes to add arbitrary processes to a 'cpu' cgroup
if it has the CAP_SYS_NICE capability set.
This version of the patch adds a 'allow_attach' handler instead
of reusing the 'can_attach' handler. If the 'can_attach' handler
is reused, a new cgroup that implements 'can_attach' but not
the permission checks could end up with no permission checks
at all.

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee44
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
