66ed1e5ec1 pktgen: Dont leak kernel memory
While playing with pktgen, I realized IP ID was not filled and a
random value was taken, possibly leaking 2 bytes of kernel memory.
 
We can use an increasing ID, this can help diagnostics anyway.

Also clear packet payload, instead of leaking kernel memory.

a160ee69c6 wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleep
A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones)
assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can
sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is
held around their invocation. This is almost always true now
except when reading from sysfs:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:280

Fix this by using the rtnl instead of dev_base_lock.

896a7cf8d8 pktgen: Fix multiqueue handling
It is not currently possible to instruct pktgen to use one selected tx queue.

When Robert added multiqueue support in commit 45b270f8, he added
an interval (queue_map_min, queue_map_max), and his code doesnt take
into account the case of min = max, to select one tx queue exactly.

I suspect a high performance setup on a eight txqueue device wants
to use exactly eight cpus, and assign one tx queue to each sender.

This patchs makes pktgen select the right tx queue, not the first one.

Also updates Documentation to reflect Robert changes.

417bc4b855 pktgen: Fix delay handling
After last pktgen changes, delay handling is wrong.

pktgen actually sends packets at full line speed.

Fix is to update pkt_dev->next_tx even if spin() returns early,
so that next spin() calls have a chance to see a positive delay.

81bbb3d404 net: restore tx timestamping for accelerated vlans
Since commit 9b22ea5609
( net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler )

We lost rx timestamping of packets received on accelerated vlans.

Effect is that tcpdump on real dev can show strange timings, since it gets rx timestamps
too late (ie at skb dequeueing time, not at skb queueing time)

8f1546cadf wext: add back wireless/ dir in sysfs for cfg80211 interfaces
The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers,
in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs
registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the
handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is
too late.

Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.

Previous update did not resched in inner loop causing watchdogs.
Rewrite inner loop to:
  * account for delays better with less clock calls
  * more accurate timing of delay:
    - only delay if packet was successfully sent
    - if delay is 100ns and it takes 10ns to build packet then
      account for that
  * use wait_event_interruptible_timeout rather than open coding it.

4481374ce8 mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pages
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages.  The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.

Some of the calculations (i.e.  those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

75c78500dd bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

af356afa01 net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api
Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:

- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
  they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.

- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
  qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
  to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
  shared qdisc has been attached.

- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
  qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.

This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.

The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option.
It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool,
to the region to be flashed.

It was recently pointed out to me that the last_rx field of the
net_device structure wasn't updated regularly.  In fact only the
bonding driver really uses it currently.  Since the drop_monitor code
relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We
need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so
that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be
inefficient.  This patch makes a last_rx timestamp that is private to
the drop monitor code and is updated for every device that we track.

   * 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)

c1a8f1f1c8 net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition
In 5e140dfc1f "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.

Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.

Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)

Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

a8f80e8ff9 Networking: use CAP_NET_ADMIN when deciding to call request_module
The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module.  While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel.  We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel.  Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

e9b3cc1b37 net: skb ftracer - add tracepoint to skb_copy_datagram_iovec (v3)
skb allocation / cosumption tracer - Add consumption tracepoint

This patch adds a tracepoint to skb_copy_datagram_iovec, which is called each
time a userspace process copies a frame from a socket receive queue to a user
space buffer.  It allows us to hook in and examine each sk_buff that the system
receives on a per-socket bases, and can be use to compile a list of which skb's
were received by which processes.
