inet_register_protosw() function is responsible for adding a new
inet protocol into a global table (inetsw[]) that is used with RCU rules.
As soon as the store of the pointer is done, other cpus might see
this new protocol in inetsw[], so we have to make sure new protocol
is ready for use. All pending memory updates should thus be committed
to memory before setting the pointer.
This is correctly done using rcu_assign_pointer()
synchronize_net() is typically used at unregister time, after
unsetting the pointer, to make sure no other cpu is still using
the object we want to dismantle. Using it at register time
is only adding an artificial delay that could hide a real bug,
and this bug could popup if/when synchronize_rcu() can proceed
faster than now.
This saves about 13 ms on boot time on a HZ=1000 8 cpus machine ;)

The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is
not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range
mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single
client. The current behaviour is to choose the address from the range
based on source and destination IP, which breaks when communicating
with sites having multiple addresses that require all connections to
originate from the same IP address.
Introduce a IP_NAT_RANGE_PERSISTENT option that controls whether the
destination address is taken into account for selecting addresses.

Wext makes no assumptions about the contents of
data->txpower.fixed and data->txpower.value when
data->txpower.disabled is set, so do not update
the user-requested power level while disabling.
Also, when wext configures a really _fixed_ power
output [1], we should reject it instead of limiting it
to the regulatory constraint. If the user wants to set
a _limit_ [2] then we should honour that.
[1] iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20dBm fixed

Currently rx status for frames which are completed from reorder buffer
is taken from it's cb area which is not always right, cb is not holding
the rx status when driver uses mac80211's non-irq rx handler to pass it's
received frames. This results in dropping almost all frames from reorder
buffer when security is enabled by doing double decryption (first in hw,
second in sw because of wrong rx status). This patch copies rx status into
cb area before the frame is put into reorder buffer. After this patch,
there is a significant improvement in throughput with ath9k + WPA2(AES).

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.
This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

Hi:
gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path
When we detect netpoll RX on the GRO VLAN path we bail out and
call the normal VLAN receive handler. However, the packet needs
to be normalised by calling eth_type_trans since that's what the
normal path expects (normally the GRO path does the fixup).
This patch adds the necessary call to vlan_gro_frags.

Conflict in firmware/WHENCE (SCSI vs net firmware)
If an ipv4 packet (not locally generated with IP_DF flag not set) bigger
than mtu size is supposed to go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel, the packetsize
check in xfrm4_tunnel_check_size() is omited and ipv6 drops the packet
without sending a notice to the original sender of the ipv4 packet.
Another issue is that ipv4 connection tracking does reassembling of
incomming fragmented packets. If such a reassembled packet is supposed to
go via a xfrm ipv6 tunnel it will be droped, even if the original sender
did proper fragmentation.
According to RFC 2473 (section 7) tunnel ipv6 packets resulting from the
encapsulation of an original packet are considered as locally generated
packets. If such a packet passed the checks in xfrm{4,6}_tunnel_check_size()
fragmentation is allowed according to RFC 2473 (section 7.1/7.2).
This patch sets skb->local_df in xfrm6_prepare_output() to achieve
fragmentation in this case.
