Rename the "supported" flag in bclink structure to "recv_permitted"
to better reflect what it is used for. When this flag is set for a
given node, we are permitted to receive and acknowledge broadcast
messages from that node. Convert it to a bool at the same time,
since it is not used to store any numerical values.

The "supportable" flag in bclink structure is a compatibility flag
indicating whether a peer node is capable of receiving TIPC broadcast
messages. However, all TIPC versions since tipc-1.5, and after the
inclusion in the upstream Linux kernel in 2006, support this capability.
It is highly unlikely that anybody is still using such an old
version of TIPC, let alone that they want to mix it with TIPC-2.0
nodes. Therefore, we now remove the "supportable" flag.

Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion
mechanism:
Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be
flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion,
all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing
buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has
relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try
our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the
buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again.
However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the
device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always
assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism
as it exists currently is of no value.
But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example,
when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of
the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state
information is not removed.

When a socket is shut down, we should wake up all thread sleeping on
it, instead of just one of them. Otherwise, when several threads are
polling the same socket, and one of them does shutdown(), the
remaining threads may end up sleeping forever.
Also, to align socket usage with common practice in other stacks, we
use one of the common socket callback handlers, sk_state_change(),
to wake up pending users. This is similar to the usage in e.g.
inet_shutdown(). [net/ipv4/af_inet.c].

If an implied connect is attempted on a nonblocking STREAM/SEQPACKET
socket during link congestion, the connect message will be discarded
and sendmsg will return EAGAIN. This is normal behavior, and the
application is expected to poll the socket until POLLOUT is set,
after which the connection attempt can be retried.
However, the POLLOUT flag is never set for unconnected sockets and
poll() always returns a zero mask. The application is then left without
a trigger for when it can make another attempt at sending the message.
The solution is to check if we're polling on an unconnected socket
and set the POLLOUT flag if the TIPC port owned by this socket
is not congested. The TIPC ports waiting on a specific link will be
marked as 'not congested' when the link congestion have abated.

When an application blocks at poll/select on a TIPC socket
while requesting a specific event mask, both the filter_rcv() and
wakeupdispatch() case will wake it up unconditionally whenever
the state changes (i.e an incoming message arrives, or congestion
has subsided). No mask is used.
To avoid this, we populate sk->sk_data_ready and sk->sk_write_space
with tipc_data_ready and tipc_write_space respectively, which makes
tipc more in alignment with the rest of the networking code. These
pass the exact set of possible events to the waker in fs/select.c
hence avoiding waking up blocked processes unnecessarily.
In doing so, we uncover another issue -- that there needs to be a
memory barrier in these poll/receive callbacks, otherwise we are
subject to the the same race as documented above wq_has_sleeper()
[in commit a57de0b4 "net: adding memory barrier to the poll and
receive callbacks"]. So we need to replace poll_wait() with
sock_poll_wait() and use rcu protection for the sk->sk_wq pointer
in these two new functions.

In the event that an association exceeds its max_retrans attempts, we should
send an ABORT chunk indicating that we are closing the assocation as a result.
Because of the nature of the error, its unlikely to be received, but its a nice
clean way to close the association if it does make it through, and it will give
anyone watching via tcpdump a clue as to what happened.

This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed
Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes:
+ a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions
+ ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint
answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of
remote DOVE clients
+ route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP
addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for
switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first.
+ netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching
misses
Changes since v2
- combined bools into "u32 flags"
- replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr()

If ndo_validate_addr is set to the generic eth_validate_addr
function there is no point in calling is_valid_ether_addr
from driver ndo_open if ndo_open is not used elsewhere in
the driver.
With this change is_valid_ether_addr will be called from the
generic eth_validate_addr function. So there should be no change
in the actual behavior.

Move to circular buffers management macro and correct an error
with circular buffer initial condition.
Without this patch, the macb_tx_ring_avail() function was
not reporting the proper ring availability at startup:
macb macb: eth0: BUG! Tx Ring full when queue awake!
macb macb: eth0: tx_head = 0, tx_tail = 0
And hanginig forever...
I remove the macb_tx_ring_avail() function and use the
proven macros from circ_buf.h. CIRC_CNT() is used in the
"consumer" part of the driver: macb_tx_interrupt() to match
advice from Documentation/circular-buffers.txt.
