a1b7f85e4f caif: Bugfix - XOFF removed channel from caif-mux
XOFF was mixed up with DOWN indication, causing causing CAIF channel to be
removed from mux and all incoming traffic to be lost after receiving flow-off.
Fix this by replacing FLOW_OFF with DOWN notification.

fc2af6c73f IGMP snooping: set mrouters_only flag for IPv6 traffic properly
Upon reception of a MGM report packet the kernel sets the mrouters_only flag
in a skb that is a clone of the original skb, which means that the bridge
loses track of MGM packets (cb buffers are tied to a specific skb and not
shared) and it ends up forwading join requests to the bridge interface.

This can cause unexpected membership timeouts and intermitent/permanent loss
of connectivity as described in RFC 4541 [2.1.1. IGMP Forwarding Rules]:

    A snooping switch should forward IGMP Membership Reports only to
    those ports where multicast routers are attached.
    [...]
    Sending membership reports to other hosts can result, for IGMPv1
    and IGMPv2, in unintentionally preventing a host from joining a
    specific multicast group.

When an element to a set with timeout added, one can change the timeout
by "readding" the element with the "-exist" flag. That means the timeout
value is reset to the specified one (or to the default from the set
specification if the "timeout n" option is not used). Example

ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 10
ipset add foo 1.2.3.4 timeout 600 -exist

	This patch adds check if packet is sent and

2c38de4c1f netfilter: fix looped (broad|multi)cast's MAC handling
By default, when broadcast or multicast packet are sent from a local
application, they are sent to the interface then looped by the kernel
to other local applications, going throught netfilter hooks in the
process.

These looped packet have their MAC header removed from the skb by the
kernel looping code. This confuse various netfilter's netlink queue,
netlink log and the legacy ip_queue, because they try to extract a
hardware address from these packets, but extracts a part of the IP
header instead.

This patch prevent NFQUEUE, NFLOG and ip_QUEUE to include a MAC header
if there is none in the packet.

In net/ieee802154/nl-phy.c::ieee802154_nl_fill_phy() I see two small
issues.
1) If the allocation of 'buf' fails we may just as well return -EMSGSIZE
   directly rather than jumping to 'out:' and do a pointless kfree(0).
2) We do not free 'buf' unless we jump to one of the error labels and this
   leaks memory.

8f4e0a1868 IPVS netns exit causes crash in conntrack
Quote from Patric Mc Hardy
"This looks like nfnetlink.c excited and destroyed the nfnl socket, but
ip_vs was still holding a reference to a conntrack. When the conntrack
got destroyed it created a ctnetlink event, causing an oops in
netlink_has_listeners when trying to use the destroyed nfnetlink
socket."

If nf_conntrack_netlink is loaded before ip_vs this is not a problem.

This patch simply avoids calling ip_vs_conn_drop_conntrack()
when netns is dying as suggested by Julian.

a685e08987 Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
	* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
	* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns().  For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped.  Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
	* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
	* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL.  That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.

	Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called.  The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.

8f0ea0fe3a snmp: reduce percpu needs by 50%
SNMP mibs use two percpu arrays, one used in BH context, another in USER
context. With increasing number of cpus in machines, and fact that ipv6
uses per network device ipstats_mib, this is consuming a lot of memory
if many network devices are registered.

commit be281e554e2a (ipv6: reduce per device ICMP mib sizes) shrinked
percpu needs for ipv6, but we can reduce memory use a bit more.

With recent percpu infrastructure (irqsafe_cpu_inc() ...), we no longer
need this BH/USER separation since we can update counters in a single
x86 instruction, regardless of the BH/USER context.

Other arches than x86 might need to disable irq in their
irqsafe_cpu_inc() implementation : If this happens to be a problem, we
can make SNMP_ARRAY_SZ arch dependent, but a previous poll
( https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/17/174 ) to arch maintainers did not
raise strong opposition.

Only on 32bit arches, we need to disable BH for 64bit counters updates
done from USER context (currently used for IP MIB)

This also reduces vmlinux size :

0b5c9db1b1 vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR check
Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive.  Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.

As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.

Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.

Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.

Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code.  Until then this keeps it working correctly.

10a8d94a95 virtio_net: introduce VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID
There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been
validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag -
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum
examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when
met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization.

No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag.

Iperf shows 12%-30% performance improvement for UDP traffic. For TCP,
when gro is on no difference as it produces skb with partial
checksum. But when gro is disabled, 20% or even higher improvement
could be measured by netperf.
