tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN
This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see
no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only
be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it,
somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If
SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical
to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe.
The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which
choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but
silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested
ECN off.
Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but
unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers
aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur
if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's
any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't
support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After
enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end
enable really has some potential gain too.

counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.

Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.
This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill. This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.
While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

rndis_wlan: fix initialization order for workqueue&workers
rndis_wext_link_change() might be called from rndis_command() at
initialization stage and priv->workqueue/priv->work have not been
initialized yet. This causes invalid opcode at rndis_wext_bind on
some brands of bcm4320.
Fix by initializing workqueue/workers in rndis_wext_bind() before
rndis_command is used.

wireless: remove unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL the tickles a powerpc compiler bug
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c:1415: error: __ksymtab_iwl3945_rx_queue_reset causes a section type conflict
I am pretty sure that this is a compiler bug, so not to worry. However,
as far as I can see, iwl-3945.o (the only user) and iwl3945-base.o are
always linked into the same module, so the EXPORT_SYMBOL (which causes
the problem) should not be needed. Correct?

Bluetooth: Fix connection establishment with low security requirement
The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes
that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the
usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except
the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement
mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using
Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required
since it causes interoperability issues.
To support this properly the low security requirement translates into
different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is
supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to
switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered
for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes
the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing
a lot simpler.

Bluetooth: Add different pairing timeout for Legacy Pairing
The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
triggered.
If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
broken devices now.

gianfar: Use memset instead of cacheable_memzero
cacheable_memzero() is completely overkill for the clearing out the FCB
block which is only 8-bytes. The compiler should easily optimize this
with memset. Additionally, cacheable_memzero() only exists on ppc32 and
thus breaks builds of gianfar on ppc64.

net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT
