70c33eaae7 {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Allow user to see/configure HT protection mode
This patch introduces a new mesh configuration parameter "ht_opmode" and will
allow user to check the current HT protection mode selected. Users could
configure the protection mode by the command "iw mesh_iface set mesh_param
mesh_ht_protection_mode=2". The default protection mode of mesh is set to
non-HT mixed mode.

d16cf20e2f netfilter: remove ip_queue support
This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete
years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced
user-space packet queueing mechanism.

This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that
refers to ip_queue. Otherwise, we break compilation.

Several warning has been sent regarding this to the mailing list
in the past month without anyone rising the hand to stop this
with some strong argument.

6714cf5465 netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix explicit helper attachment and NAT
Explicit helper attachment via the CT target is broken with NAT
if non-standard ports are used. This problem was hidden behind
the automatic helper assignment routine. Thus, it becomes more
noticeable now that we can disable the automatic helper assignment
with Eric Leblond's:

9e8ac5a netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment

Basically, nf_conntrack_alter_reply asks for looking up the helper
up if NAT is enabled. Unfortunately, we don't have the conntrack
template at that point anymore.

Since we don't want to rely on the automatic helper assignment,
we can skip the second look-up and stick to the helper that was
attached by iptables. With the CT target, the user is in full
control of helper attachment, thus, the policy is to trust what
the user explicitly configures via iptables (no automatic magic
anymore).

Interestingly, this bug was hidden by the automatic helper look-up
code. But it can be easily trigger if you attach the helper in
a non-standard port, eg.

iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp --dport 8888 \
	-j CT --helper ftp

And you disabled the automatic helper assignment.

I added the IPS_HELPER_BIT that allows us to differenciate between
a helper that has been explicitly attached and those that have been
automatically assigned. I didn't come up with a better solution
(having backward compatibility in mind).

cdcc5e905d ipvs: always update some of the flags bits in backup
As the goal is to mirror the inactconns/activeconns
counters in the backup server, make sure the cp->flags are
updated even if cp is still not bound to dest. If cp->flags
are not updated ip_vs_bind_dest will rely only on the initial
flags when updating the counters. To avoid mistakes and
complicated checks for protocol state rely only on the
IP_VS_CONN_F_INACTIVE bit when updating the counters.

0ca2997d14 netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.
This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus
multiplexers.  It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer.

The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same
address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is
insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY
devices.

Conceptually it could look something like this:

                   ------------------
                   | Control Signal |
                   --------+---------

     ---------                   ---------

This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data.  The
mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific
drivers.

The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.

2510602200 netdev/of/phy: New function: of_mdio_find_bus().
Add of_mdio_find_bus() which allows an mii_bus to be located given its
associated the device tree node.

This is needed by the follow-on patch to add a driver for MDIO bus
multiplexers.

The of_mdiobus_register() function is modified so that the device tree
node is recorded in the mii_bus.  Then we can find it again by
iterating over all mdio_bus_class devices.

Because the OF device tree has now become an integral part of the
kernel, this can live in mdio_bus.c (which contains the needed
mdio_bus_class structure) instead of of_mdio.c.

1c430a727f net: compare_ether_addr[_64bits]() has no ordering
Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits()
(as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics
like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort
order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp
replacement because of this.

A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one
due to this semantic difference.

ec47ea8247 skb: Add inline helper for getting the skb end offset from head
With the recent changes for how we compute the skb truesize it occurs to me
we are probably going to have a lot of calls to skb_end_pointer -
skb->head.  Instead of running all over the place doing that it would make
more sense to just make it a separate inline skb_end_offset(skb) that way
we can return the correct value without having gcc having to do all the
optimization to cancel out skb->head - skb->head.

750ea2bafa tcp: early retransmit: delayed fast retransmit
Implementing the advanced early retransmit (sysctl_tcp_early_retrans==2).
Delays the fast retransmit by an interval of RTT/4. We borrow the
RTO timer to implement the delay. If we receive another ACK or send
a new packet, the timer is cancelled and restored to original RTO
value offset by time elapsed.  When the delayed-ER timer fires,
we enter fast recovery and perform fast retransmit.

eed530b6c6 tcp: early retransmit
This patch implements RFC 5827 early retransmit (ER) for TCP.
It reduces DUPACK threshold (dupthresh) if outstanding packets are
less than 4 to recover losses by fast recovery instead of timeout.

While the algorithm is simple, small but frequent network reordering
makes this feature dangerous: the connection repeatedly enter
false recovery and degrade performance. Therefore we implement
a mitigation suggested in the appendix of the RFC that delays
entering fast recovery by a small interval, i.e., RTT/4. Currently
ER is conservative and is disabled for the rest of the connection
after the first reordering event. A large scale web server
experiment on the performance impact of ER is summarized in
section 6 of the paper "Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP”,
IMC 2011. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2011/docs/p155.pdf

Note that Linux has a similar feature called THIN_DUPACK. The
differences are THIN_DUPACK do not mitigate reorderings and is only
used after slow start. Currently ER is disabled if THIN_DUPACK is
enabled. I would be happy to merge THIN_DUPACK feature with ER if
people think it's a good idea.

ER is enabled by sysctl_tcp_early_retrans:
  0: Disables ER

  1: Reduce dupthresh to packets_out - 1 when outstanding packets < 4.

  2: (Default) reduce dupthresh like mode 1. In addition, delay
     entering fast recovery by RTT/4.

Note: mode 2 is implemented in the third part of this patch series.

d7e8883cfc net: make GRO aware of skb->head_frag
GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page
fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself

This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb
(one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a
single sk_buff is fetched.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"
