net: Add sendmmsg socket system call
This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send

I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
this new syscall:

The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The

usbnet: runtime pm: fix out of memory
This patch makes use of the EVENT_DEV_OPEN flag introduced recently to
fix one out of memory issue, which can be reproduced on omap3/4 based
pandaboard/beagle XM easily with steps below:
- enable runtime pm
echo auto > /sys/devices/platform/usbhs-omap.0/ehci-omap.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1/power/control
- ifconfig eth0 up
- then out of memroy happened, see [1] for kernel message.
Follows my analysis:
- 'ifconfig eth0 up' brings eth0 out of suspend, and usbnet_resume
is called to schedule dev->bh, then rx urbs are submited to prepare for
recieving data;
- some usbnet devices will produce garbage rx packets flood if
info->reset is not called in usbnet_open.
- so there is no enough chances for usbnet_bh to handle and release
recieved skb buffers since many rx interrupts consumes cpu, so out of memory
for atomic allocation in rx_submit happened.
This patch fixes the issue by simply not allowing schedule of usbnet_bh until device
is opened.

net: ip_expire() must revalidate route
Commit 4a94445c9a5c (net: Use ip_route_input_noref() in input path)
added a bug in IP defragmentation handling, in case timeout is fired.
When a frame is defragmented, we use last skb dst field when building
final skb. Its dst is valid, since we are in rcu read section.
But if a timeout occurs, we take first queued fragment to build one ICMP
TIME EXCEEDED message. Problem is all queued skb have weak dst pointers,
since we escaped RCU critical section after their queueing. icmp_send()
might dereference a now freed (and possibly reused) part of memory.

The bug was that unix domain sockets use a pseduo packet for
connecting and accept uses that psudo packet to get the socket.
In the buggy seqpacket case we were allowing unconnected
sockets to call recvmsg and try to receive the pseudo packet.
That is always wrong and as of commit 7361c36c5 the pseudo
packet had become enough different from a normal packet
that the kernel started oopsing.

ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).
This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.
All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.

ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notifications
For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.
Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.
Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested. Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump
the bonding version number and update its documentation.

mwl8k: Reducing extra_tx_headroom for tx optimization in AP mode
The tx_headroom required for mwl8k driver is 32 bytes and it
can use the space for 802.11 header received from mac80211.
mwl8k considers the smallest 802.11 frame (CTS2self of 10
bytes) that can be received from mac80211 to compute the
extra_tx_headroom as 22 (32 - 10) bytes.
When the wireless interface is part of bridge, this
extra_tx_headroom requirement results in a memcpy in
mac80211 (in function pskb_expand_head) for all the data
frames needing L2 forwarding/bridging, when NET_SKB_PAD is
defined as 32. This patch reduces the extra_tx_headroom by
8 bytes so that memcpy of data frames in mac80211 is
avoided in this case.
The resize will be required in driver for frames with 802.11
header size of less than 18 bytes.
