4478a9cdf0 igb: drop support for UDP hashing w/ RSS
This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing.  The
reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a
network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for
non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.

Following commit 1437ce3983 "ethtool:

takes a third parameter and cannot be used directly as an
implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags.

44b451f163 xfrm: fix xfrm by MARK logic
While using xfrm by MARK feature in
2.6.34 - 2.6.35 kernels, the mark
is always cleared in flowi structure via memset in
_decode_session4 (net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c), so
the policy lookup fails.
IPv6 code is affected by this bug too.

58eba97d07 virtio_net: fix oom handling on tx
virtio net will never try to overflow the TX ring, so the only reason
add_buf may fail is out of memory. Thus, we can not stop the
device until some request completes - there's no guarantee anything
at all is outstanding.

Make the error message clearer as well: error here does not
indicate queue full.

4a49043223 s2io: resolve statistics issues
This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of
the s2io driver.

On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes
pause frames which are not indicated to the driver.  This can cause
issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually
been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received.

The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware
statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes.  It also uses the
overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit
register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the
previous call).  rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized
packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting.  Finally,
rx_crc_errors are now being counted.

f0796d5c73 net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.

The flow for this is,

dev_queue_xmit()
	dev_pick_tx()
		skb_tx_hash()  => hash using real_num_tx_queues
		skb_set_queue_mapping()
	...
	qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
	dev_hard_start_xmit()
		ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash

skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues.  When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.

This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

driver will never see them.  In SR-IOV mode limit the number of tx queues

the PF cannot communciate with the VF and should be considered for 2.6.34

a5b6ee291e ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirection
Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one
of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2).  It
can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
there.  It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for
user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

cbf2d604a1 vmxnet3: Remove incorrect implementation of ethtool_ops::get_flags()
Only some netdev feature flags correspond directly to ethtool feature
flags.  ethtool_op_get_flags() does the right thing.

97d1935a61 netdev: Make ethtool_ops::set_flags() return -EINVAL for unsupported flags
The documented error code for attempts to set unsupported flags (or
to clear flags that cannot be disabled) is EINVAL, not EOPNOTSUPP.

1437ce3983 ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flags
ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has
no way of doing so.  This means it is not suitable for use as a
default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags.

Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
change all current callers to pass this parameter.

Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to
call ethtool_op_set_flags().

42d782ac1b bonding: check if clients MAC addr has changed
When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load
balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless
ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems.

What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track
of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the
receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated
when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client
entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced
later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs
and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies
updating this specific client. The same process happens on
the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp
replies.

See more information including the relevant functions below:

   System 1                          System 2
    bond0                             bond0

+-------           <-------------- send ARP reply
                   <-------------- send ARP reply

Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks
a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP
address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply
poisoning the network.

This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC
address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't
change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.
