Recent addition of code to find already allocated VFs failed to take
account that systems with 2 or more multi-port SR-IOV capable controllers
might have already enabled VFs. Make sure that the VFs the function is
finding are actually subordinate to the particular instance of the adapter
that is looking for them and not subordinate to some device that has
previously enabled SR-IOV.
This is applicable to 3.2+ kernels.

Shlomo Pongratz reported GRO L2 header check was suited for Ethernet
only, and failed on IB/ipoib traffic.
He provided a patch faking a zeroed header to let GRO aggregates frames.
Roland Dreier, Herbert Xu, and others suggested we change GRO L2 header
check to be more generic, ie not assuming L2 header is 14 bytes, but
taking into account hard_header_len.
__napi_gro_receive() has special handling for the common case (Ethernet)
to avoid a memcmp() call and use an inline optimized function instead.

Commit a0417fa3a1 ("net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound
explicit.") made it possible for a netdev driver to use skb->cb
between its header_ops.create method and its .ndo_start_xmit
method. Use this in ipoib_hard_header() to stash away the LL address
(GID + QPN), instead of the "ipoib_pseudoheader" hack. This allows
IPoIB to stop lying about its hard_header_len, which will let us fix
the L2 check for GRO.

Some devices (iwl5100) cannot connect to zd1211rw based AP. It appears that
zd1211 firmware messes up duration_id field if it is not set to zero by driver.
Sniffing traffic shows that zd1211 is transmitting frames with duration_id bits
14 and 15 set and other bits appearing random. Setting duration_id at driver to
zero results zd1211 outputting sane duration_id. This means that firmware is
setting correct values itself and expects duration_id to be zero in first
place.
Looking at vendor driver shows that only PSPoll frames have duration_id set by
driver, for other frames duration_id left zero.

Subject: [PATCH] net: enable TC35815 for MIPS again
TX493[8,9] MIPS SoCs support 2 Ethernet channels of type TC35815
which are connected to the internal PCI controller.
And JMR3927 MIPS board has a TC35815 chip on board.
These dependencies were lost on movement to drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba.

When this GETHER controller received a large frame (about 1800 bytes
or more), skb_over_panic() happened. This is because the previous
driver set the RFLR to 0x1000 (4096 bytes) and the skb allocate size
is smaller than 4096 bytes. So, the controller accepted such a frame.
The controller can discard a large frame by the RFLR setting.
So, the patch modifies the value of RFLR to mtu + ETH_HLEN +
VLAN_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN.

We allocate memory for 'new_data' with kmalloc(). If we get the memory
we then try to build_skb() and if that should fail (which it can) we
do not enter 'if (likely(skb)) {' and actually use 'new_data' but
instead fall through to the 'drop:' label and end up returning from
the function without ever assigning 'new'data' to anything or freeing
it. That leaks the memory allocated to 'new_data'.
This patch fixes the memory leak by doing a kfree(new_data) in the
case where build_skb() fails (or where allocation of 'new_data' itself
fails, but in taht case it's just a harmless kfree(NULL)).

As it is, with PCI/ISA/MCA/CCW all set to n and PCMCIA set to m
setting TR to y will set LLC to m, with very unpleasant results -
net/802/psnap gets picked into obj-y, resulting in the kernel
that won't link - psnap calls functions from llc. The cause,
AFAICS, is that kconfig gets rev_dep for LLC containing
|| TR && (deps for TR)
and even though TR is boolean, both LLC and PCMCIA are tristate
and that thing becomes || y && (n || m), i.e. || m. The reason
for dependency on PCMCIA is that when none of PCI, ISA, MCA, CCW
or PCMCIA is set there'll be no tokenring drivers, so there's no
point building tokenring core. Proper fix probably belongs in
kconfig (we need strict and, such that y <strict_and> m would be
y, so that rev_deps added for tristate selected by bool would
use that instead of &&; we'd have || TR <strict_and> (deps for TR)
in this case), but it's a rather intrusive change. There's an
easy workaround in case of TR -> LLC select, namely to have a def_bool y
symbol sitting under if TR and have that symbol selecting LLC.
Kudos to johill for suggesting that one...

mlx4_en_prepare_rx_desc does not correctly clean up after it finds an

it only calls the later.
This bug would prevent a device removal using hotplug after setting the
device MTU to 9000 and opening the network interface. After the fix, we
still see the allocation failure with MTU 9000, but we are able to
remove the device.

After opening the network interface, Mellanox ConnectX device cannot be
removed by hotplug because it has not properly unmapped all DMA memory.
It happens that mlx4_en_activate_rx_rings overrides the variable that
keeps the size of the memory mapped.
This is fixed by passing to mlx4_en_destroy_rx_ring the same size that is
given to mlx4_en_create_rx_ring.
After applying this patch, hot unplugging the device works after opening
the interface.

commit adb5066 "ath9k_hw: do not apply the 2.4 ghz ack timeout
workaround to cts" reduced the hardware CTS timeout to the normal

need the same extra time that it needs for the ACK timeout, it
does need more than the value specified in the standard, but only
for 2.4 GHz.
This patch brings the CTS timeout value in sync with the initialization
values, while still allowing adjustment for bigger distances.

Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5db8
(ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output
route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression.
The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is
used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups.
The result is that when connecting to local port without
listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback
interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output
route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet
can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because
it expects RTN_LOCAL.
So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to
update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because
we do not want unnecessary binding to oif.
To make it clear what are the input parameters that
can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of
floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4
structure: flowi4_update_output.
Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a
program to reproduce the problem.

This has few benefits:
