d84e0bd797 skbuff: update struct sk_buff members comments
Rearrange struct sk_buff members comments to follow their
definition order. Also, add missing comments for ooo_okay
and dropcount members.

a6686f2f38 skbuff: skb supports zero-copy buffers
This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new
struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers
argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release
the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb
has gone).

If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers,
then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we
can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long.

Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags
SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check.

e5497d766a cfg80211/nl80211: support GTK rekey offload
In certain circumstances, like WoWLAN scenarios,
devices may implement (partial) GTK rekeying on
the device to avoid waking up the host for it.

In order to successfully go through GTK rekeying,
the KEK, KCK and the replay counter are required.

Add API to let the supplicant hand the parameters
to the driver which may store it for future GTK
rekey operations.

Note that, of course, if GTK rekeying is done by
the device, the EAP frame must not be passed up
to userspace, instead a rekey event needs to be
sent to let userspace update its replay counter.

37cf4d1a9b dcbnl: Aggregated CEE GET operation
The following couple of patches add dcbnl an unsolicited notification of
the the DCB configuration for the CEE flavor of the DCBX protocol. This
is useful when the user-mode DCB client is not responsible for
conducting and resolving the DCBX negotiation (either because the DCBX
stack is embedded in the HW or the negotiation is handled by another
agent in the host), but still needs to get the negotiated parameters.
This functionality already exists for the IEEE flavor of the DCBX
protocol and these patches add it to the older CEE flavor.

The first patch extends the CEE attribute GET operation to include not
only the peer information, but also all the pertinent local
configuration (negotiated parameters). The second patch adds and export
a CEE specific notification routine.

dc99f60069 packet: Add fanout support.
Fanouts allow packet capturing to be demuxed to a set of AF_PACKET
sockets.  Two fanout policies are implemented:

1) Hashing based upon skb->rxhash

2) Pure round-robin

An AF_PACKET socket must be fully bound before it tries to add itself
to a fanout.  All AF_PACKET sockets trying to join the same fanout
must all have the same bind settings.

Fanouts are identified (within a network namespace) by a 16-bit ID.
The first socket to try to add itself to a fanout with a particular
ID, creates that fanout.  When the last socket leaves the fanout
(which happens only when the socket is closed), that fanout is
destroyed.

Commit 0e34e93177
"(netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices)"
added the symbol more than a year ago with the promise of "future use".

Because it is so far unused, remove it for now.

0209bcd4d9 net: add external loopback test in ethtool self test
External loopback test can be performed by application without any driver
support on normal Ethernet cards.
But on CNA devices, where multiple functions share same physical port.
Here internal loopback test and external loopback test can be initiated by
multiple functions at same time. To co exist all functions, firmware need
to regulate what test can be run by which function. So before performing external
loopback test, command need to send to firmware, which will quiescent other functions.

User may not want to run external loopback test always. As special cable need to be
connected for this test.
So adding explicit flag in ethtool self test, which will specify interface
to perform external loopback test.
 ETH_TEST_FL_EXTERNAL_LB: Application set to request external loopback test
 ETH_TEST_FL_EXTERNAL_LB_DONE: Driver ack if test performed

08142579b6 mm: fix assertion mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback()
Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion
mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger.  This can be caused by
page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following
race:

	CPU0				CPU1
  ...
  shrink_page_list()
    __remove_mapping()
      __delete_from_page_cache()
        radix_tree_delete()
					evict_inode()
					  truncate_inode_pages()
					    truncate_inode_pages_range()
					      pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing
					  end_writeback()
					    mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG
        page->mapping = NULL
        mapping->nrpages--

Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under
mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().

d9d90e5eb7 tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp
Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp()
is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before
calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache
which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache.

At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by
copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage.
Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition,

Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h,
with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case.

(shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the
read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the
read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think
read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

94c1e62df4 tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range
2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control
its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate().
We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together.

Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called
between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for
doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem
is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr.

Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr().  Instead of
calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can
call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its
own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range().

Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range():
now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range,
there is no need to call it a third time.

Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so
that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get
this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until
then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice).

Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing
->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we
expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly,
whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations -
shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.

prototypes into shmem_fs.h.  Remove mm's own declarations from swap.h,
but for now leave the ones in mm.h: because shmem_file_setup() and
