38f49e8801 via-rhine: hardware VLAN support
This patch adds VLAN hardware support for Rhine chips.

The driver uses up to 3 additional bytes of buffer space when extracting
802.1Q headers; PKT_BUF_SZ should still be sufficient.

The initial code was provided by David Lv. I reworked it to use standard
kernel facilities. Coding style clean up mostly follows via-velocity.

Adapted to new interface for VLAN acceleration (per request of Jesse Gross).

Meanwhile, here is the patch for net-next-2.6

Your patch then can be applied after mine.

[PATCH] net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl()

dev_getbyhwaddr() was called under RTNL.

Rename it to dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu() and change all its caller to now use
RCU locking instead of RTNL.

Change arp_ioctl() to use RCU instead of RTNL locking.

Note: this fix a dev refcount bug in llc

Oh well, of course I must first fix the bug in net-2.6, and wait David
pull the fix in net-next-2.6 before sending this rcu conversion.

Note: this patch should be sent to stable teams (2.6.34 and up)

[PATCH net-2.6] llc: fix a device refcount imbalance

commit abf9d537fe (llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE) added one
refcount imbalance in llc_ui_bind(), because dev_getbyhwaddr() doesnt
take a reference on device, while dev_get_by_index() does.

Fix this using RCU locking. And since an RCU conversion will be done for
2.6.38 for dev_getbyhwaddr(), put the rcu_read_lock/unlock exactly at
their final place.

94dec6a2d2 sfc: Fix crash in legacy onterrupt handler during ring reallocation
If we are using a legacy interrupt, our IRQ may be shared and our
interrupt handler may be called even though interrupts are disabled on
the NIC. When we change ring sizes, we reallocate the event queue and
the interrupt handler may use an invalid pointer when called for
another device's interrupt.

Maintain a legacy_irq_enabled flag and test that at the top of the
interrupt handler.  Note that this problem results from the need to
work around broken INT_ISR0 reads, and does not affect the legacy
interrupt handler for Falcon A1.

871a2c16c2 dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructure
This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
 * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
 * a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).

The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

2d5311e4e8 filter: add a security check at install time
We added some security checks in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) to close a
potential leak of kernel information to user.

This added a potential extra cost at run time, while we can perform a
check of the filter itself, to make sure a malicious user doesnt try to
abuse us.

This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to
make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the
filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is
allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that
sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory)

Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach,
previously allowed.

0af55bb58f af_packet: use vmalloc_to_page() instead for the addresss returned by vmalloc()
The following commit causes the pgv->buffer may point to the memory
returned by vmalloc(). And we can't use virt_to_page() for the vmalloc
address.

This patch introduces a new inline function pgv_to_page(), which calls
vmalloc_to_page() for the vmalloc address, and virt_to_page() for the
__get_free_pages address.

We used to increase page pointer to get the next page at the next page
address, after Neil's patch, it is wrong, as the physical address may
be not continuous. This patch also fixes this issue.

f7fce74e38 net: kill an RCU warning in inet_fill_link_af()
commits 9f0f7272 (ipv4: AF_INET link address family) and cf7afbfeb8
(rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic) used incorrect
__in_dev_get_rcu() in RTNL protected contexts, triggering PROVE_RCU
warnings.

Switch to __in_dev_get_rtnl(), wich is more appropriate, since we hold
RTNL.

Based on a report and initial patch from Amerigo Wang.

06a9701f4b __in_dev_get_rtnl() can use rtnl_dereference()
If caller holds RTNL, we dont need a memory barrier
(smp_read_barrier_depends) included in rcu_dereference().

Just use rtnl_dereference() to properly document the assertions.

da2033c282 filter: add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU
Add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU to filter ancillary mechanism,
to be able to build advanced filters.

This can help spreading packets on several sockets with a fast
selection, after RPS dispatch to N cpus for example, or to catch a
percentage of flows in one queue.

tcpdump -s 500 "cpu = 1" :

[0] ld CPU
[1] jeq #1  jt 2  jf 3
[2] ret #500
[3] ret #0

# take 12.5 % of flows (average)
tcpdump -s 1000 "rxhash & 7 = 2" :

[0] ld RXHASH
[1] and #7
[2] jeq #2  jt 3  jf 4
[3] ret #1000
[4] ret #0
