When a driver writer calls this, they generally expect that
all previous stores and modifications they've made will be
visible before netif_poll_enable() executes, so ensure this.

hh_lock was converted from rwlock to seqlock by Stephen.
To have a 100% benefit of this change, I suggest to place read mostly fields
of hh_cache in a separate cache line, because hh_refcnt may be changed quite
frequently on some busy machines.

Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the
return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN
which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition.
This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent
with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

MAX_HEADER is either set to LL_MAX_HEADER or LL_MAX_HEADER + 48, and
this is controlled by a set of CONFIG_* ifdef tests.
It is trying to use LL_MAX_HEADER + 48 when any of the tunnels are
enabled which set hard_header_len like this:
dev->hard_header_len = LL_MAX_HEADER + sizeof(struct xxx);
The correct set of tunnel drivers which do this are:
ipip
ip_gre
ip6_tunnel
sit
so make the ifdef test match.

Add logic to check ARP request / reply packets used for ARP
monitor link integrity checking.
The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it
has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic.
For example, if multiple hosts running bonding are behind a common
switch, the probe traffic from the multiple instances of bonding will
update the tx/rx times on each other's slave devices.

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
o long/short retry
This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).

Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose

When the bridge recomputes features, it does not maintain the
constraint that SG/GSO must be off if TX checksum is off.
This patch adds that constraint.
On a completely unrelated note, I've also added TSO6 and TSO_ECN
feature bits if GSO is enabled on the underlying device through
the new NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE macro.

Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the
netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN
decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the
assosciated checks it does.
Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(),
and use this in __vlan_hwaccel_rx().

Certain subsystems in the stack (e.g., netfilter) can break the partial
checksum on GSO packets. Until they're fixed, this patch allows this to
work by recomputing the partial checksums through the GSO mechanism.
Once they've all been converted to update the partial checksum instead of
clearing it, this workaround can be removed.

This patch adds the wrapper function skb_is_gso which can be used instead
of directly testing skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size. This makes things a little

This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is:
This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.
This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.
In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
get TSO packets created by TCP layer.
SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
UFO is supported over IPv6 also
The following table shows there is significant improvement in
throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.

| | 1500 | 9600 |

| | thru CPU | thru CPU |

This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding
the sk_gso_type member to struct sock. This makes sk_setup_caps generic
so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO.
The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation
for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to
live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock
caps field at the moment.

In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection. The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet. Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.
This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set. Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.
All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set. If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.
With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.
Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain),
we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware.
Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY. Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST. If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.
This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag. The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support. We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them. The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.
