This is Linux bridge implementation of root port guard.
If BPDU is received from a leaf (edge) port, it should not
be elected as root port.
Why would you want to do this?
If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully
trusted; this prevents a hostile guest for rerouting traffic.
Why not just use netfilter?
Netfilter does not track of follow spanning tree decisions.

the bridge port if a STP BPDU packet is received.
Why would you want to do this?
If running Spanning Tree on bridge, hostile devices on the network
may send BPDU and cause network failure. Enabling bpdu block
will detect and stop this.
How to recover the port?
The port will be restarted if link is brought down, or
removed and reattached. For example:
# ip li set dev eth0 down; ip li set dev eth0 up

Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested
message, this can be used for other bridge parameters.
This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested
set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the
old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses
IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED.
The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays
compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field
for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old
code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use
with old versions of bridge monitor command.
Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a
full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more
values (like macvlan has).

For example:

This happens because the restore function bails out early upon

it never gets to the netif_device_attach call at the end of

bnx2x: Support loading cnic resources at run-time
This patch replaces the BCM_CNIC define with a flag which can change at run-time
and which does not use the CONFIG_CNIC kconfig option.
For the PF/hypervisor driver cnic is always supported, however allocation of
cnic resources and configuration of the HW for offload mode is done only when
the cnic module registers bnx2x.

This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
branches.
When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.
This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
this case.

pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO
If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.
This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.
The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.
Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.

mlx4: change TX coalescing defaults
mlx4 currently uses a too high tx coalescing setting, deferring
TX completion interrupts by up to 128 us.
With the recent skb_orphan() removal in commit 8112ec3b872,
performance of a single TCP flow is capped to ~4 Gbps, unless
we increase tcp_limit_output_bytes.
I suggest using 16 us instead of 128 us, allowing a finer control.
Performance of a single TCP flow is restored to previous levels,
while keeping TCP small queues fully enabled with default sysctl.
This patch is also a BQL prereq.

batman-adv: enable fast client detection using unicast_4addr packets
The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by
means of unicast_4addr packets.
The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is
currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can
therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table

This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the

It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting
module by cutting off any not needed feature.
