Okay, here is the first of the five patches. After applying all
of them you should be able to build/join huge city mesh networks
(e.g. with the OLSR protocol) with the most of the mac80211 wireless
drivers by setting a fixed BSSID in the ad hoc mode. (If you found no
other bug/problem.) This was not specified in the original standard,
but is a widely used de facto standard.
The first patch now completely disallow to set multicast MAC addresses
as BSSID. The behavior before was really strange.

power_level in ieee80211_conf is being used for more than one
purpose. It being used as user configured power limit and the
final power limit given to the driver. By doing so, except very
first time, the tx power limit is taken from min(chan->max_power,
local->hw.conf.power_level) which is not what we want. This patch

This patch addresses the IPv6 multicast routing issues described
below. It was tested with XORP 1.4/1.5 as the IPv6 PIM-SM routing
daemon against FreeBSD peers.
net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:
- Don't try to forward link-local multicast packets.
- Don't reset skb2->dev before calling ip6_mr_input() so packets can
be identified as coming from the PIM register vif properly.
net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:
- Fix incoming PIM register messages processing:
* The IPv6 pseudo-header should be included when checksumming PIM
messages (RFC 4601 section 4.9; RFC 3973 section 4.7.1).
* Packets decapsulated from PIM register messages should have
skb->protocol ETH_P_IPV6.
- Enable/disable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the corresponding
interface when a routing daemon adds/removes a multicast virtual
interface.
- Remove incorrect skb_pull() to fix userspace signaling.
- Enable/disable global IPv6 multicast forwarding when an IPv6
multicast routing socket is opened/closed.
net/ipv6/route.c:
- Don't use strict routing logic for packets decapsulated from PIM
register messages (similar to disabling rp_filter for the IPv4
case).

We now only TX hash on pre-computed SKB properties.
The thinking is:
1) High performance routing and firewalling setups will
have a multiqueue capable card used for receive, and
therefore would have RX queue recordings made into
the SKB which can be used for the TX side hash.
2) Locally generated packets will have an attached socket
and thus a valid sk->sk_hash to make use of.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX
pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by
the hardware.
If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select
the outgoing TX queue.
This helps get more consistent load balancing on router
and firewall loads.

tcp_splice_data_recv has two lengths to consider: the len parameter it
gets from tcp_read_sock, which specifies the amount of data in the skb,
and rd_desc->count, which is the amount of data the splice caller still
wants. Currently it passes just the latter to skb_splice_bits, which then
splices min(rd_desc->count, skb->len - offset) bytes.
Most of the time this is fine, except when the skb contains urgent data.
In that case len goes only up to the urgent byte and is less than
skb->len - offset. By ignoring len tcp_splice_data_recv may a) splice
data tcp_read_sock told it not to, b) return to tcp_read_sock a value > len.
Now, tcp_read_sock doesn't handle used > len and leaves the socket in a
bad state (both sk_receive_queue and copied_seq are bad at that point)
resulting in duplicated data and corruption.
Fix by passing min(rd_desc->count, len) to skb_splice_bits.

commit 9088c56095
(udp: Improve port randomization) introduced a regression for UDP bind() syscall
to null port (getting a random port) in case lot of ports are already in use.
This is because we do about 28000 scans of very long chains (220 sockets per chain),
with many spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() calls.
Fix this using a bitmap (64 bytes for current value of UDP_HTABLE_SIZE)
so that we scan chains at most once.
Instead of 250 ms per bind() call, we get after patch a time of 2.9 ms

In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the
'real-device' and the VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN. In more recent
kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do

GPL-only symbols.
Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to
access the real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.

There is a race between sctp_rcv() and sctp_accept() where we
have moved the association from the listening socket to the
accepted socket, but sctp_rcv() processing cached the old
socket and continues to use it.
The easy solution is to check for the socket mismatch once we've
grabed the socket lock. If we hit a mis-match, that means
that were are currently holding the lock on the listening socket,
but the association is refrencing a newly accepted socket. We need
to drop the lock on the old socket and grab the lock on the new one.
A more proper solution might be to create accepted sockets when
the new association is established, similar to TCP. That would
eliminate the race for 1-to-1 style sockets, but it would still
existing for 1-to-many sockets where a user wished to peeloff an
association. For now, we'll live with this easy solution as
it addresses the problem.

Recent changes to the retransmit code exposed a long standing
bug where it was possible for a chunk to be time stamped
after the retransmit timer was reset. This caused a rare
situation where the retrnamist timer has expired, but
nothing was marked for retrnasmission because all of
timesamps on data were less then 1 rto ago. As result,
the timer was never restarted since nothing was retransmitted,
and this resulted in a hung association that did couldn't
complete the data transfer. The solution is to timestamp
the chunk when it's added to the packet for transmission
purposes. After the packet is trsnmitted the rtx timer
is restarted. This guarantees that when the timer expires,
there will be data to retransmit.

This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv4 multicast routing code.
This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or
mfc_caches depending on the routines' contexts.
Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* vif_add/vif_delete
* ipmr_new_tunnel
* mroute_clean_tables
* ipmr_cache_find
* ipmr_cache_report
* ipmr_cache_unresolved
* ipmr_mfc_add/ipmr_mfc_delete
* ipmr_get_route

This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the
list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number
of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine
ipmr_cache_unresolved).
Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be
identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in
struct mfc_cache.
Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single
timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration.
In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming
or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing
mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.
