Disabling the receiver logic with P54_FILTER_TYPE_RX_DISABLED is not
supported by all firmwares. However we have an alternative: hibernation.
And the only side effect - so far - is a bit less power consumption. WIN!

Incorrect local->wmm_acm bits were set for AC_BK and AC_BE. Fix this
and add some comments to make it easier to understand the AC-to-UP(pair)
mapping. Set the wmm_acm bits (and show WMM debug) even if the driver
does not implement conf_tx() handler.
In addition, fix the ACM-based AC downgrade code to not use the
highest priority in error cases. We need to break the loop to get the
correct AC_BK value (3) instead of returning 0 (which would indicate
AC_VO). The comment here was not really very useful either, so let's
provide somewhat more helpful description of the situation.
Since it is very unlikely that the ACM flag would be set for AC_BK and
AC_BE, these bugs are not likely to be seen in real life networks.
Anyway, better do these things correctly should someone really use
silly AP configuration (and to pass some functionality tests, too).
Remove the TODO comment about handling ACM. Downgrading AC is
perfectly valid mechanism for ACM. Eventually, we may add support for
WMM-AC and send a request for a TS, but anyway, that functionality
won't be here at the location of this TODO comment.

It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted
packets (must hit the max guard in tcp_bound_to_half_wnd()).
It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems
and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from
hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero
sized segments we would generate do though in write queue).
Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.

The results is very unlikely change every so often so we
hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a
connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we
detect that and do the right thing and again settle for
non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously
taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.
This should take care part of the tso vs non-tso difference
we found earlier.

There's very little need for most of the callsites to get
tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is,
so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the
tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(),
so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock
at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit
hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to
change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16
xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining
divide to get that tso on regression).
Bring xmit_goal_size parts into tcp.c

Wow, it was quite tricky to merge that stream of negations
but I think I finally got it right:
check & replace_ts_recent:
(s32)(rcv_tsval - ts_recent) >= 0 => 0
(s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) <= 0 => 0
discard:
(s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) > TCP_PAWS_WINDOW => 1
(s32)(ts_recent - rcv_tsval) <= TCP_PAWS_WINDOW => 0
I toggled the return values of tcp_paws_check around since
the old encoding added yet-another negation making tracking
of truth-values really complicated.

While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858
I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero
refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and
destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen
like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after
delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is
always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock.
This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls
were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug
in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds,
which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

On x86_64, its rather unfortunate that "wait_queue_head_t wait"
field of "struct socket" spans two cache lines (assuming a 64
bytes cache line in current cpus)
offsetof(struct socket, wait)=0x30
sizeof(wait_queue_head_t)=0x18
This might explain why Kenny Chang noticed that his multicast workload
was performing bad with 64 bit kernels, since more cache lines ping pongs
were involved.
This litle patch moves "wait" field next "fasync_list" so that both
fields share a single cache line, to speedup sock_def_readable()

This cleans up the following pieces of the Rx initialization path:
- Enable the ECC memory fault interrupt in OTHER causes.
- Fix an 82598 initialization of RDRXCTL when depending on RSS and VMDq to
be enabled. We don't need these features enabled to safely set the MVMEN
bit to allow multiple SRRCTL register mappings into the RXDCTL registers.
- Fix the RSS initialization path to not stomp on DCB accidentally. When
configuring the MRQC (multiple Rx queue contol) register, we want to make
sure we only OR in features as necessary, instead of full assignment.

We should use the work_limit to determine when to finish cleaning, and

I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels
with different speeds to the same bundle.
Problem Description:
As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly
among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to
make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol
that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for
example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel
of the bundle.
Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have
two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast
link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we
have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the
PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in
two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc,
flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it
will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it
will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two
PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The
resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working
@1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle
working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth).
Problem Solution:
The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode"
function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according
to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial
interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to
the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now
divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set
according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be
sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on
1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same
performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a
bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while
greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels
working at different speeds.

Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing
address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927.
Here is quote of important information:
"
An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above,
except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set
to the host's newly selected IPv4 address.
"
But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227.
"
The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid
polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case
where the address turns out to be already in use by another host.
"
When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because
it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just
causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so
just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip.

Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the
device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive
packets.
There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan. Allowing
a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or
another macvlan.
To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the
mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table
I verify that the new mac address is usable.
The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of
mac vlan mac addresses.
To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance
in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic
needed to update the hash table all over the place.
