Wedson Almeida Filho aeb193ea6c net: Unmap fragment page once iterator is done
Callers of skb_seq_read() are currently forced to call skb_abort_seq_read()
even when consuming all the data because the last call to skb_seq_read (the
one that returns 0 to indicate the end) fails to unmap the last fragment page.

With this patch callers will be allowed to traverse the SKB data by calling
skb_prepare_seq_read() once and repeatedly calling skb_seq_read() as originally
intended (and documented in the original commit 677e90eda), that is, only call
skb_abort_seq_read() if the sequential read is actually aborted.

	net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c
	net/wireless/nl80211.c

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().

Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.

The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved.  In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported.  Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.

However, the dump handlers to not use this logic.  Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking.  There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so.  So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.

To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

Simon Wunderlich d5b4c93e67 batman-adv: Don't handle address updates when bla is disabled
The bridge loop avoidance has a hook to handle address updates of the
originator. These should not be handled when bridge loop avoidance is
disabled - it might send some bridge loop avoidance packets which should
not appear if bla is disabled.

Simon Wunderlich 7c24bbbeab batman-adv: forward late OGMs from best next hop
When a packet is received from another node first and later from the
best next hop, this packet is dropped. However the first OGM was sent
with the BATADV_NOT_BEST_NEXT_HOP flag and thus dropped by neighbors.
The late OGM from the best neighbor is then dropped because it is a
duplicate.

If this situation happens constantly, a node might end up not forwarding
the "valid" OGMs anymore, and nodes behind will starve from not getting
valid OGMs.

Fix this by refining the duplicate checking behaviour: The actions
should depend on whether it was a duplicate for a neighbor only or for
the originator. OGMs which are not duplicates for a specific neighbor
will now be considered in batadv_iv_ogm_forward(), but only actually
forwarded for the best next hop. Therefore, late OGMs from the best
next hop are forwarded now and not dropped as duplicates anymore.

Matthias Schiffer ac16d1484e batman-adv: wait for rtnl in batadv_store_mesh_iface instead of failing if it is taken
The rtnl_lock in batadv_store_mesh_iface has been converted to a rtnl_trylock
some time ago to avoid a possible deadlock between rtnl and s_active on removal
of the sysfs nodes.

The behaviour introduced by that was quite confusing as it could lead to the
sysfs store to fail, making batman-adv setup scripts unreliable. As recently the
sysfs removal was postponed to a worker not running with the rtnl taken, the
deadlock can't occur any more and it is safe to change the trylock back to a
lock to make the sysfs store reliable again.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO

In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master"

The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove slaves of an
soft-iface is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to
modify slaves of an interface.

An additional configuration interface though rtnl_link is introduced which
provides easy device adding/removing with tools like "ip":
$ ip link set dev eth0 master bat0
$ ip link set dev eth0 nomaster

Sven Eckelmann a4ac28c0d0 batman-adv: Allow to use rntl_link for device creation/deletion
The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces
is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new
virtual interfaces.

An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device
creation/deletion with tools like "ip":

$ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv
$ ip link del dev bat0

Sven Eckelmann a15fd3612d batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removed
batman-adv has an unusual way to manage softinterfaces. These will be created
automatically when a user writes to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file in sysfs and
removed when no slave device exists anymore.

This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing
code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour
and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

Sven Eckelmann b3246020e2 batman-adv: Move deinitialization of soft-interface to destructor
The deinitialization of the soft-interface created in ndo_init/constructor
should be done in the destructor and not directly before calling
unregister_netdevice

Sven Eckelmann 37130293fd batman-adv: Move soft-interface initialization to ndo_init
The initialization of an net_device object should be done in the
init/constructor function and not from the outside after the register_netdevice
was done to avoid race conditions.

Martin Hundebøll e6a0b495ff batman-adv: Fix endianness errors for network coding
Add a htonl() in network_coding.c when reading the sequence number
from received ogm_packet, to avoid wrong byte ordering when comparing
with a host value. This bug was introduced in
3ed7ada3f0bbcd058567bc0a8f9729a73eba7db6 ("batman-adv: network coding -
detect coding nodes and remove these after timeout").

Change the type of coded_packet->coded_len from uint16 to __be16 to
avoid wrong assumptions about endianness in later uses. Introduced in
c3289f3650d34b60296000a629c99f2488f7c3dd ("batman-adv: network coding -
code and transmit packets if possible").
