3af79302b4 net: update the usage of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
As suggested by Ben, this adds the clarification on the usage of
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on the outgoing patch. Also add the usage
description of NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
for the kernel FCoE protocol driver.

This is a follow-up to the following:

cdbee74ce7 net: do not do gso for CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in netif_needs_gso
This is related to fixing the bug of dropping FCoE frames when disabling tx ip
checksum by 'ethtool -K ethx tx off'. The FCoE protocol stack driver would
use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on tx path instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (as indicated in
the 2/2 of this series). To do so, netif_needs_gso() has to be changed here to
not do gso for both CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

c8628155ec tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use
With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved
that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting
to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes.

Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct
sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly
probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in
many cases.

When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true
latency killer and cpu cache blower.

Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue
permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the
tcp_collapse() thing later.

Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb
truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due
to low socket buffer" I had before.

This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets.

With help from Neal Cardwell.

124d37e9f0 arp: allow arp processing to honor per interface arp_accept sysctl
I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received
arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process
flag.  This seems wrong, as it implies that either none or all of the network
interfaces accept gratuitous arps.  This patch corrects that, allowing
per-interface arp_accept configuration to deviate from the all setting.  Note
this also brings us into line with the way the arp_filter setting is handled
during arp_process execution.

Tested this myself on my home network, and confirmed it works as expected.

5c4903549c net: Fix issue with netdev_tx_reset_queue not resetting queue from XOFF state
We are seeing dev_watchdog hangs on several drivers.  I suspect this is due
to the __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF bit being set prior to a reset for link
change, and then not being cleared by netdev_tx_reset_queue.  This change
corrects that.

In addition we were seeing dev_watchdog hangs on igb after running the
ethtool tests.  We found this to be due to the fact that the ethtool test
runs the same logic as ndo_start_xmit, but we were never clearing the XOFF
flag since the loopback test in ethtool does not do byte queue accounting.

24de58f465 netfilter: xt_CT: allow to attach timeout policy + glue code
This patch allows you to attach the timeout policy via the
CT target, it adds a new revision of the target to ensure
backward compatibility. Moreover, it also contains the glue
code to stick the timeout object defined via nfnetlink_cttimeout
to the given flow.

Example usage (it requires installing the nfct tool and
libnetfilter_cttimeout):

1) create the timeout policy:

 nfct timeout add tcp-policy0 inet tcp \
	established 1000 close 10 time_wait 10 last_ack 10

2) attach the timeout policy to the packet:

 iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp -j CT --timeout tcp-policy0

You have to install the following user-space software:

a) libnetfilter_cttimeout:
   git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_cttimeout

b) nfct:
   git://git.netfilter.org/nfct

You also have to get iptables with -j CT --timeout support.

7512102cf6 memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exit
When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new
memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in
mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from
free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from
exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit).

Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has
been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is
still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing.

A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against
removal.  In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg,
and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the
memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to
0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing.

Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to
lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not
necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps
some isolated for other reasons.  So, force_empty may find no task, no
charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed.

There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but
typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be
added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru
and freed.  We don't see the issue when adding, because the
mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being
scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list().

I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and
PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view
of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set.
38c5d72f3e ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully
removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault.

But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check
PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec
to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged.  A risky
change?  just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of
uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem.

And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making
sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no
longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2b9 ("memcg:
clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary").

Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c
is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg
structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe
without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

6e27f63edb vfork: kill PF_STARTING
Previously it was (ab)used by utrace.  Then it was wrongly used by the
scheduler code.

Currently it is not used, kill it before it finds the new erroneous user.

57b59c4a14 coredump_wait: don't call complete_vfork_done()
Now that CLONE_VFORK is killable, coredump_wait() no longer needs
complete_vfork_done().  zap_threads() should find and kill all tasks with
the same ->mm, this includes our parent if ->vfork_done is set.

mm_release() becomes the only caller, unexport complete_vfork_done().

d68b46fe16 vfork: make it killable
Make vfork() killable.

Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable().  If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.

However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.

Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.

NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

However this is obviously the user-visible change.  Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

c22ab33290 kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by default
Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.

This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace.  In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.

This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace).  Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths.  The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

1) TCP SACK processing can calculate an incorrect reordering value in
   some cases, fix from Neal Cardwell.

2) tcp_mark_head_lost() can split SKBs in situations where it should
   not, violating send queue invariants expected by other pieces of
   code and thus resulting (eventually) in corrupted retransmit state
   counters.  Also from Neal Cardwell.

3) qla3xxx erroneously calls spin_lock_irqrestore() with constant
   hw_flags of zero.  Fix from Santosh Nayak.

4) Fix NULL deref in rt2x00, from Gabor Juhos.

5) pch_gbe passes address of wrong typed object to pch_gbe_validate_option
   thus corrupting part of the value.  From Dan Carpenter.

6) We must check the return value of nlmsg_parse() before trying to use
   the results.  From Eric Dumazet.

7) Bridging code fails to check return value of ipv6_dev_get_saddr()
   thus potentially leaving uninitialized garbage in the outgoing ipv6
   header.  From Ulrich Weber.

8) Due to rounding and a reversed operation on jiffies, bridge message
   ages can go backwards instead of forwards, thus breaking STP.  Fixes
   from Joakim Tjernlund.

9) r8169 modifies Config* registers without properly holding the
   Config9346 lock, resulting in corrupted IP fragments on some chips.
   Fix from Francois Romieu.

10) NET_PACKET_ENGINE default wan't set properly during the network
   driver mega-move.  Fix from Stephen Hemminger.

11) vmxnet3 uses TCP header size where it actually should use the UDP
   header size, fix from Shreyas Bhatewara.

12) Netfilter bridge module autoload is busted in the compat case, fix
   from Florian Westphal.

13) Wireless Key removal was not setting multicast bits correctly thus
   accidently killing the unicast key 0 and thus all traffic stops.
   Fix from Johannes Berg.

14) Fix endless retries of A-MPDU transmissions in brcm80211 driver.

1b658f118b cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP mode
This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT,
to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the
station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP
and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but
don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity
timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

5533513784 {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Implement RSSI threshold for mesh peering
Mesh peer links are established only if average rssi of the peer
candidate satisfies the threshold. This is not in 802.11s specification
but was requested by David Fulgham, an open80211s user. This is a way to avoid
marginal peer links with stations that are barely within range.

This patch adds a new mesh configuration parameter, mesh_rssi_threshold. This
feature is supported only for hardwares that report signal in dBm.
