Eric Dumazet 05423b2413 vlan: allow null VLAN ID to be used
We currently use a 16 bit field (vlan_tci) to store VLAN ID/PRIO on a skb.

Null value is used as a special value, meaning vlan tagging not enabled.
This forbids use of null vlan ID.

As pointed by David, some drivers use the 3 high order bits (PRIO)

As VLAN ID is 12 bits, we can use the remaining bit (CFI) as a flag, and
allow null VLAN ID.

In case future code really wants to use VLAN_CFI_MASK, we'll have to use
a bit outside of vlan_tci.

#define VLAN_PRIO_MASK         0xe000 /* Priority Code Point */
#define VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT        13
#define VLAN_CFI_MASK          0x1000 /* Canonical Format Indicator */
#define VLAN_TAG_PRESENT       VLAN_CFI_MASK
#define VLAN_VID_MASK          0x0fff /* VLAN Identifier */

Michal Ostrowski fb64bb560e PPPoE: Fix flush/close races.
Be more careful about the state of pointers during tear-down.
The "pppoe_dev" field can only be looked at safely while holding socket locks.
This subsequently allows for the flush_lock to be killed.

We depend on the PPPOX_CONNECTED state to tell us that that those fields are
valid, so whoever clears that state (pppox_unbind_sock()) is responsible for
the dev_put() call.

We also have to ensure that we delete_item() on all sockets before they are
cleaned up.

The need for these changes has been exposed by scenarios wherein namespace
bindings of ethernet devices change while there are ongoing PPPoE sessions,
which resulted in oopses due to unusual socket connection termination paths,
exposing these issues.

Bruce Allan 5ccdcecb72 e1000e: allow for swflag to be held over consecutive PHY accesses
PCH-based parts (82577/82578) and some ICH8-based parts (82566) need to
hold the swflag (sw/fw/hw hardware semaphore) over consecutive PHY accesses
in order to perform sw-driven PHY configuration during initialization to
workaround known hardware issues (see follow-on patch).  This patch
provides new PHY read/write functions (and function pointers) that will
allow accessing the PHY registers assuming the swflag has already been
acquired.  The actual PHY register access code has moved into helper
functions that are called with a flag indicating whether or not the swflag
has already been acquired and acquires/releases it if not.

The functions called from within the updated PHY access functions had to be
updated to assume the swflag was already acquired, and other functions that
called those functions were also updated to acquire/release the swflag.

from concurrent accesses with a mutex that is acquired when the access is
initiated and released when the access has completed.  However, the two
types of accesses should not be protected by the same mutex because the
driver may have to access the NVM while already holding the mutex over
several consecutive PHY/CSR accesses which would result in livelock.

Simon Wunderlich 05af2142d0 r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d
The 8110SC rev d chip on our board shows a regression which the 8110SB chip
did not have. When inbound traffic is overflowing the receive descriptor queue,
"holes" in the ring buffer may occur which lead to a hangup until the buffer
is filled again. The packets are than completely processed, but the ring
remains porous and no packets are processed until the next overflow. Setting
the interface down and up can fix the problem temporary from userspace.

For some reason we don't know, this behaviour is not occuring if the RxVlan
bit for hardware VLAN untagging is set. There is another "Work around for
AMD plateform" in the current code which checks the VLAN status
word in receive descriptors, but does never come to effect when hardware
VLAN support is enabled. We assume that this is a bug in the chip.

The following patch fixes the problem. Without the patch we could reproduce
the hang within minutes (given other devices also generating lots of
interrupts), without we couldn't reproduce within a few days of long term
testing.

This version contains minor style adjustments and is sent with mutt which
will hopefully not destroy the formatting again.

Eric Dumazet 7c28bd0b8e rtnetlink: speedup rtnl_dump_ifinfo()
When handling large number of netdevice, rtnl_dump_ifinfo()
is very slow because it has O(N^2) complexity.

Instead of scanning one single list, we can use the 256 sub lists
of the dev_index hash table.

This considerably speedups "ip link" operations

Eric Dumazet 8d5b2c084d gre: convert hash tables locking to RCU
GRE tunnels use one rwlock to protect their hash tables.

This locking scheme can be converted to RCU for free, since netdevice
already must wait for a RCU grace period at dismantle time.
