37e8273cd3 usbnet: Set link down initially for drivers that update link state
Some usbnet drivers update link state while others do not due to
hardware limitations.  Add a flag to distinguish those that do, and
set the link down initially for their devices.

This is intended to fix this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/444043

9e0d57fd6d xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resume
This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine 
in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because 
after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while 
it has already been expired on the remote server.

  The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to 
the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.

  I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any
issues.

  This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra
(commit 9ba5f0).

  This patch is against 2.6.31.4. Please CC me.

This adds compat_ioctl support for SIOCWANDEV, which has
always been missing.

The definition of struct compat_ifreq was missing an
ifru_settings fields that is needed to support SIOCWANDEV,
so add that and clean up the whitespace damage in the
struct definition.

512615b6b8 udp: secondary hash on (local port, local address)
Extends udp_table to contain a secondary hash table.

socket anchor for this second hash is free, because UDP
doesnt use skc_bind_node : We define an union to hold
both skc_bind_node & a new hlist_nulls_node udp_portaddr_node

udp_lib_get_port() inserts sockets into second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

udp_lib_unhash() deletes socket from second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

Note : No spinlock lockdep annotation is needed, because
lock for the secondary hash chain is always get after
lock for primary hash chain.

d4cada4ae1 udp: split sk_hash into two u16 hashes
Union sk_hash with two u16 hashes for udp (no extra memory taken)

One 16 bits hash on (local port) value (the previous udp 'hash')

One 16 bits hash on (local address, local port) values, initialized
but not yet used. This second hash is using jenkin hash for better
distribution.

Because the 'port' is xored later, a partial hash is performed
on local address + net_hash_mix(net)

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

af81858172 mac80211: async station powersave handling
Some devices require that all frames to a station
are flushed when that station goes into powersave
mode before being able to send frames to that
station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
frames being sent to the station when it polls.

Normally, this is the case unless the station
goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
But in that case, frames for it may be pending
on the hardware queues, and thus races could
happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
sure the race doesn't happen.

This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
per-station flag that can be controlled by the
driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
frames or not. This flag must be set according to
very specific rules outlined in the documentation
for the function that controls it.

When we buffer new frames for the station, we
normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
the TIM bit.

Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
need to wait until all other frames are flushed
before we can transmit frames to that station,
so the same applies here, we need to wait for
the driver to give the OK.
