f350a0a873 bridge: use rx_handler_data pointer to store net_bridge_port pointer
Register net_bridge_port pointer as rx_handler data pointer. As br_port is
removed from struct net_device, another netdev priv_flag is added to indicate
the device serves as a bridge port. Also rcuized pointers are now correctly
dereferenced in br_fdb.c and in netfilter parts.

91d2c34a4e bridge: Fix netpoll support
There are multiple problems with the newly added netpoll support:

1) Use-after-free on each netpoll packet.
2) Invoking unsafe code on netpoll/IRQ path.
3) Breaks when netpoll is enabled on the underlying device.

This patch fixes all of these problems.  In particular, we now
allocate proper netpoll structures for each underlying device.

We only allow netpoll to be enabled on the bridge when all the
devices underneath it support netpoll.  Once it is enabled, we
do not allow non-netpoll devices to join the bridge (until netpoll
is disabled again).

This allows us to do away with the npinfo juggling that caused
problem number 1.

Incidentally this patch fixes number 2 by bypassing unsafe code
such as multicast snooping and netfilter.

c18370f5b2 netpoll: Add netpoll_tx_running
This patch adds the helper netpoll_tx_running for use within
ndo_start_xmit.  It returns non-zero if ndo_start_xmit is being
invoked by netpoll, and zero otherwise.

This is currently implemented by simply looking at the hardirq
count.  This is because for all non-netpoll uses of ndo_start_xmit,
IRQs must be enabled while netpoll always disables IRQs before
calling ndo_start_xmit.

dbaa154178 netpoll: Add locking for netpoll_setup/cleanup
As it stands, netpoll_setup and netpoll_cleanup have no locking
protection whatsoever.  So chaos ensures if two entities try to
perform them on the same device.

This patch adds RTNL to the equation.  The code has been rearranged so
that bits that do not need RTNL protection are now moved to the top of
netpoll_setup.

de85d99eb7 netpoll: Fix RCU usage
The use of RCU in netpoll is incorrect in a number of places:

1) The initial setting is lacking a write barrier.
2) The synchronize_rcu is in the wrong place.
3) Read barriers are missing.
4) Some places are even missing rcu_read_lock.
5) npinfo is zeroed after freeing.

This patch fixes those issues.  As most users are in BH context,
this also converts the RCU usage to the BH variant.

d6cc1d642d inetpeer: various changes
Try to reduce cache line contentions in peer management, to reduce IP
defragmentation overhead.

- peer_fake_node is marked 'const' to make sure its not modified.
  (tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y)

- Group variables in two structures to reduce number of dirtied cache
lines. One named "peers" for avl tree root, its number of entries, and
associated lock. (candidate for RCU conversion)

- A second one named "unused_peers" for unused list and its lock

- Add a !list_empty() test in unlink_from_unused() to avoid taking lock
when entry is not unused.

- Use atomic_dec_and_lock() in inet_putpeer() to avoid taking lock in
some cases.

28c8e4790c ixgbe: fix automatic LRO/RSC settings for low latency
This patch added to 2.6.34:

	commit f8d1dcaf88
	Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>
	Date:   Tue Apr 27 01:37:20 2010 +0000

	    ixgbe: enable extremely low latency

introduced a feature where LRO (called RSC on the hardware) was disabled
automatically when setting rx-usecs to 0 via ethtool.  Some might not
like the fact that LRO was disabled automatically, but I'm fine with
that.  What I don't like is that LRO/RSC is automatically enabled when
rx-usecs is set >0 via ethtool.

This would certainly be a problem if the device was used for forwarding
and it was determined that the low latency wasn't needed after the
device was already forwarding.  I played around with saving the state of
LRO in the driver, but it just didn't seem worthwhile and would require
a small change to dev_disable_lro() that I did not like.

This patch simply leaves LRO disabled when setting rx-usecs >0 and
requires that the user enable it again.  An extra informational message
will also now appear in the log so users can understand why LRO isn't
being enabled as they expect.

Inconsistency of LRO setting first noticed by Stanislaw Gruszka.

stats into the union and add struct rtnl_link_stats64 stats64.

Add net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64, implementations of which will
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64.  Drivers that implement
this operation must not update the structure asynchronously.

Change dev_get_stats() to call ndo_get_stats64 if available, and to
return a pointer to struct rtnl_link_stats64.  Change callers of
dev_get_stats() accordingly.

ae638c47dc pkt_sched: gen_estimator: add a new lock
gen_kill_estimator() / gen_new_estimator() is not always called with
RTNL held.

net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c is one user of these API that do not hold
RTNL, so random corruptions can occur between "tc" and "iptables".

Add a new fine grained lock instead of trying to use RTNL in netfilter.

592fcb9dfa ip: ip_ra_control() rcu fix
commit 66018506e1 (ip: Router Alert RCU conversion) introduced RCU
lookups to ip_call_ra_chain(). It missed proper deinit phase :
When ip_ra_control() deletes an ip_ra_chain, it should make sure
ip_call_ra_chain() users can not start to use socket during the rcu
grace period. It should also delay the sock_put() after the grace
period, or we risk a premature socket freeing and corruptions, as
raw sockets are not rcu protected yet.

This delay avoids using expensive atomic_inc_not_zero() in
ip_call_ra_chain().
