without IGMP snooping.
Without CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING,
BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->mrouters_only is not appropriately
initialized, so we can see garbage.
A clear option to fix this is to set it even without that
config, but we cannot optimize out the branch.
Let's introduce a macro that returns value of mrouters_only
and let it return 0 without CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING.

route: Fix caught BUG_ON during rt_secret_rebuild_oneshot()
Call rt_secret_rebuild can cause BUG_ON(timer_pending(&net->ipv4.rt_secret_timer)) in
add_timer as there is not any synchronization for call rt_secret_rebuild_oneshot()
for the same net namespace.
Also this issue affects to rt_secret_reschedule().
Thus use mod_timer enstead.

So in the forward porting of various tipc packages, I was constantly

Finally decided I should fix this. Its a straightforward inversion,
tipc_ref_acquire takes two locks in this order:
ref_table_lock
entry->lock
while tipc_deleteport takes them in this order:
entry->lock (via tipc_port_lock())
ref_table_lock (via tipc_ref_discard())
when the same entry is referenced, we get the above warning. The fix is equally
straightforward. Theres no real relation between the entry->lock and the
ref_table_lock (they just are needed at the same time), so move the entry->lock
aquisition in tipc_ref_acquire down, after we unlock ref_table_lock (this is
safe since the ref_table_lock guards changes to the reference table, and we've
already claimed a slot there. I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it
clears up the lockdep issue

From: Michael Braun <michael-dev@fami-braun.de>
bridge: Fix br_forward crash in promiscuous mode
It's a linux-next kernel from 2010-03-12 on an x86 system and it
OOPs in the bridge module in br_pass_frame_up (called by
br_handle_frame_finish) because brdev cannot be dereferenced (its set to
a non-null value).
Adding some BUG_ON statements revealed that
BR_INPUT_SKB_CB(skb)->brdev == br-dev
(as set in br_handle_frame_finish first)
only holds until br_forward is called.
The next call to br_pass_frame_up then fails.
Digging deeper it seems that br_forward either frees the skb or passes
it to NF_HOOK which will in turn take care of freeing the skb. The
same is holds for br_pass_frame_ip. So it seems as if two independent
skb allocations are required. As far as I can see, commit
b33084be192ee1e347d98bb5c9e38a53d98d35e2 ("bridge: Avoid unnecessary
clone on forward path") removed skb duplication and so likely causes
this crash. This crash does not happen on 2.6.33.
I've therefore modified br_forward the same way br_flood has been
modified so that the skb is not freed if skb0 is going to be used
and I can confirm that the attached patch resolves the issue for me.

dccp: fix panic caused by failed initialisation
This fixes a kernel panic reported thanks to Andre Noll:
if DCCP is compiled into the kernel and any out of the initialisation
steps in net/dccp/proto.c:dccp_init() fail, a subsequent attempt to create
a SOCK_DCCP socket will panic, since inet{,6}_create() are not prevented
from creating DCCP sockets.
This patch fixes the problem by propagating a failure in dccp_init() to
dccp_v{4,6}_init_net(), and from there to dccp_v{4,6}_init(), so that the
DCCP protocol is not made available if its initialisation fails.

If we are managing IPv6 addresses using DHCP, it would be nice
for user-space to be notified if an address configured through
DHCP fails DAD. Otherwise user-space would have to poll to see
whether DAD succeeds.

Some network devices, particularly USB ones, take several seconds to
fully init and appear in the device list.
If the user turned ipconfig on, they are using it for NFS root or some
other early booting purpose. So it makes no sense to just flat out
fail immediately if the device isn't found.
It also doesn't make sense to just jack up the initial wait to
something crazy like 10 seconds.
Instead, poll immediately, and then periodically once a second,
waiting for a usable device to appear. Fail after 12 seconds.

Port commit 20deb48d16fdd07ce2fdc8d03ea317362217e085
from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git
Part of the large effort I'm trying to help with getting all the downstreamed
code from windriver forward ported to the upstream tree
Origional commit message
Restore check to filter out inadverdently received messages
This patch reimplements a check that allows TIPC to discard messages
that are not intended for it. This check was present in TIPC 1.5/1.6,
but was removed by accident during the development of TIPC 1.7; it has
now been updated to account for new features present in TIPC 1.7 and
reinserted into TIPC. The main benefit of this check is to filter
out messages arriving from orphaned link endpoints, which can arise
when a node exits the network and then re-enters it with a different
TIPC network address (i.e. <Z.C.N> value).

Remove htohl implementation from tipc
I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one:
http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e
I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing.
This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets
for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a
connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to
violate the latest RFC draft for tipc:
http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt
Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all
commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch,
instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to
ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path.
As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which
searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list,
for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr
structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing
will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower>
tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just
match on those fields (properly endian swapped).
I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue.

We added an automatic route cache rebuilding in commit 1080d709fb9d8cd43
but had to correct few bugs. One of the assumption of original patch,
was that entries where kept sorted in a given way.
This assumption is known to be wrong (commit 1ddbcb005c395518 gave an
explanation of this and corrected a leak) and expensive to respect.
Paweł Staszewski reported to me one of his machine got its routing cache
disabled after few messages like :
[ 2677.850065] Route hash chain too long!
[ 2677.850080] Adjust your secret_interval!
[82839.662993] Route hash chain too long!
[82839.662996] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.731650] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.731664] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.811881] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.811891] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.858209] vlan0811: 5 rebuilds is over limit, route caching
disabled
[155843.858212] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.858213] Adjust your secret_interval!
This is because rt_intern_hash() might be fooled when computing a chain
length, because multiple entries with same keys can differ because of
TOS (or mark/oif) bits.
In the rare case the fast algorithm see a too long chain, and before
taking expensive path, we call a helper function in order to not count
duplicates of same routes, that only differ with tos/mark/oif bits. This
helper works with data already in cpu cache and is not be very
expensive, despite its O(N^2) implementation.
Paweł Staszewski sucessfully tested this patch on his loaded router.

Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared

at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)

Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.
Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.
This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.
This will allow further cleanups in drivers.
Full tree sweep converting all users.

Thanks to Paul McKenny for pointing out that it is incorrect to use
synchronize_rcu_bh to ensure that pending callbacks have completed.
Instead we should use rcu_barrier_bh.

As Paul McKenney correctly pointed out, __br_mdb_ip_get needs
to use the RCU list walking primitive in order to work correctly
on platforms where data-dependency ordering is not guaranteed.

We dereference "port" on the lines immediately before and immediately
after the test so port should hopefully never be null here.

The macro any_online_node() is prone to producing sparse warnings due to
the local symbol 'node'. Since all the in-tree users are really
requesting the first online node (the mask argument is either
NODE_MASK_ALL or node_online_map) just use the first_online_node macro and
remove the any_online_node macro since there are no users.

Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of
ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add
a new call. Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained
from ->get_sset_count().
Hence the "some" in the attached patch to include/linux/ethtool.h,
addressing your comment.

Agreed.
I've attached a follow-up patch, which should enable my/Jeff's kernel
patch to be applied, followed by this one.
