There is a justifying patch for Stephen's patches. Stephen's patches
disallows using a port range of one single port and brakes the meaning
of the 'remaining' variable, in some places it has different meaning.
My patch gives back the sense of 'remaining' variable. It should mean
how many ports are remaining and nothing else. Also my patch allows
using a single port.
I sure we must be able to use mentioned port range, this does not
restricted by documentation and does not brake current behavior.

When the bonding device senses a carrier loss of its active slave it replaces
that slave with a new one. In between the times when the carrier of an IPoIB
device goes down and ipoib_neigh is destroyed, it is possible that the
bonding driver will send a packet on a new slave that uses an old ipoib_neigh.
This patch detects and prevents this from happenning.

IPoIB uses a two layer neighboring scheme, such that for each struct neighbour
whose device is an ipoib one, there is a struct ipoib_neigh buddy which is
created on demand at the tx flow by an ipoib_neigh_alloc(skb->dst->neighbour)
call.
When using the bonding driver, neighbours are created by the net stack on behalf
of the bonding (master) device. On the tx flow the bonding code gets an skb such
that skb->dev points to the master device, it changes this skb to point on the
slave device and calls the slave hard_start_xmit function.
Under this scheme, ipoib_neigh_destructor assumption that for each struct
neighbour it gets, n->dev is an ipoib device and hence netdev_priv(n->dev)
can be casted to struct ipoib_dev_priv is buggy.
To fix it, this patch adds a dev field to struct ipoib_neigh which is used
instead of the struct neighbour dev one, when n->dev->flags has the
IFF_MASTER bit set.

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

The kernel IB stack allows (through the RDMA CM) userspace
applications to join and use multicast groups from the IPoIB MGID
range. This allows multicast traffic to be handled directly from
userspace QPs, without going through the kernel stack, which gives
better performance for some applications.
However, to fully interoperate with IP multicast, such userspace
applications need to participate in IGMP reports and queries, or else
routers may not forward the multicast traffic to the system where the
application is running. The simplest way to do this is to share the
kernel IGMP implementation by using the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP option to
join multicast groups that are being handled directly in userspace.
However, in such cases, the actual multicast traffic should not also
be handled by the IPoIB interface, because that would burn resources
handling multicast packets that will just be discarded in the kernel.
To handle this, this patch adds lookup on the database used for IB
multicast group reference counting when IPoIB is joining multicast
groups, and if a multicast group is already handled by user space,
then the IPoIB kernel driver ignores the group. This is controlled by
a per-interface policy flag. When the flag is set, IPoIB will not
join and attach its QP to a multicast group which already has an entry
in the database; when the flag is cleared, IPoIB will behave as before
this change.
For each IPoIB interface, the /sys/class/net/$intf/umcast attribute
controls the policy flag. The default value is off/0.

The General Purpose I/O pins can be configured to cause interrupts. At
the end of the interrupt code dealing with all known causes, a message
is output if any bits remain un-handled. Since this is a "can't happen"
scenario, it should only be triggered by bugs elsewhere. It is harmless,
and potentially beneficial, to limit the damage by masking any such
unexpected interrupts.

There is a count of "active hours" maintained in EEPROM, to aid
troubleshooting. The definition of "active" is based on traffic
exceeding a threshold in any given 5-second polling interval. As
originally written, the check was inadvertently bypassed for chips whose
counters were 64-bits wide, and only applied to chips with 32-bit wide
counters.
This patch moves the test for amount of traffic "out" to a more common
location, rather than depending on a side-effect of the software
emulation of 64-bit counts on chips whose hardware is only 32-bits wide.

ipath_poll() suffered from a couple subtle bugs. Under the right
conditions we could leave recv interrupts enabled on an ipath user
context on close, thereby taking potentially unwanted interrupts on the
next open -- this is fixed by unconditionally turning off recv
interrupts on close. Also, we now use counters rather than set/clear
bits which allows us to make sure we catch all interrupts at the cost of
changing the semantics slightly (it's now give me all events since the
last time I called poll() rather than give me all events since I called
_this_ poll routine). We also added some memory barriers which may help
ensure we get all notifications in a timely manner.

the writes to the register block may be reordered within the system

issued (even with the mutex). Fix this by adding an mmiowb() before

Automatically queue MRA message to decrease the number of retries sent

The IB CM provides a message received acknowledged (MRA) message that
can be sent to indicate that a REQ or REP message has been received, but
will require more time to process than the timeout specified by those
messages. In many cases, the application may not know how long it will
take to respond to a CM message, but the majority of the time, it will
usually respond before a retry has been sent. Rather than sending an
MRA in response to all messages just to handle the case where a longer
timeout is needed, it is more efficient to queue the MRA for sending in
case a duplicate message is received.
This avoids sending an MRA when it is not needed, but limits the number
of times that a REQ or REP will be resent. It also provides for a
simpler implementation than generating the MRA based on a timer event.
(That is, trying to send the MRA after receiving the first REQ or REP if
a response has not been generated, so that it is received at the remote
side before a duplicate REQ or REP has been received)
