Packet is dropped in arp_rcv() because its pkt_type was set to
PACKET_OTHERHOST in the first vlan_do_receive() call, since no eth0.103
exists.
We really need to change pkt_type only if no more rx_handler is about to
be called for the packet.

The route lookup to find a previously auto-configured route for a prefixes used
to use rt6_lookup(), with the prefix from the RA used as an address. However,
that kind of lookup ignores routing tables, the prefix length and route flags,
so when there were other matching routes, even in different tables and/or with
a different prefix length, the wrong route would be manipulated.
Now, a new function "addrconf_get_prefix_route()" is used for the route lookup,
which searches in RT6_TABLE_PREFIX and takes the prefix-length and route flags
into account.

The caif code will register its own pernet_operations, and then register
a netdevice_notifier. Each time the netdevice_notifier is triggered,
it'll do some stuff... including a lookup of its own pernet stuff with
net_generic().
If the net_generic() call ever returns NULL, the caif code will BUG().
That doesn't seem *so* unreasonable, I suppose — it does seem like it
should never happen.
However, it *does* happen. When we clone a network namespace,
setup_net() runs through all the pernet_operations one at a time. It
gets to loopback before it gets to caif. And loopback_net_init()
registers a netdevice... while caif hasn't been initialised. So the caif
netdevice notifier triggers, and immediately goes BUG().
We could imagine a complex and overengineered solution to this generic
class of problems, but this patch takes the simple approach. It just
makes caif_device_notify() *not* go looking for its pernet data
structures if the device it's being notified about isn't a caif device
in the first place.

When hybrid mode is enabled (accept_ra == 2), the kernel also sees RAs
generated locally. This is useful since it allows the kernel to auto-configure
its own interface addresses.
However, if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and/or 'accept_ra_rtr_pref' are set and the
locally generated RAs announce the default route and/or other route information,
the kernel happily inserts bogus routes with its own address as gateway.
With this patch, adding routes from an RA will be skiped when the RAs source
address matches any local address, just as if 'accept_ra_defrtr' and
'accept_ra_rtr_pref' were set to 0.

There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent
on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets.
In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of
incoming message, and this might break some setups.
Example of things that were broken :
- Routing using TOS as a selector
- Firewalls
- Trafic classification / shaping
We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in
ACK generation, and route lookup.
Notes :
- We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages.
- We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in
netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets.
- A patch is needed for IPv6

Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e1
"rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged
we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved
from one network namespace to another.
Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces.
Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are
in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual
rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are
unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

The pair of functions,
* skb_clone_tx_timestamp()
* skb_complete_tx_timestamp()
were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first
function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies
PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device
driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a
later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the
socket's error queue.
As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from
disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver
awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference
on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments
regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the
rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release
the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too.
These functions first appeared in v2.6.36.
