David S. Miller e2270ea62a netdevice: Kill 'feature' test macros.
Almost all of these have long outstayed their welcome.

And for every one of these macros, there are 10 features for which we
didn't add macros.

Let's just delete them all, and get out of habit of doing things this
way.

Antonio Quartulli 43676ab590 batman-adv: improved gateway tq-based selection
If a client issues a DHCPREQUEST for renewal, the packet is dropped
if the old destination (the old gateway for the client) TQ is smaller
than the current best gateway TQ less GW_THRESHOLD

Antonio Quartulli cc47f66e6b batman-adv: improved roaming mechanism
With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.

A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.

This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

Antonio Quartulli a73105b8d4 batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanism
The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.

The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.

It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
 - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
   connected clients)
 - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
   OGM losses

The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.

To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.

When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

Sven Eckelmann c3caf5196c batman-adv: Remove unnecessary hardif_list_lock
hardif_list_lock is unneccessary because we already ensure that no
multiple admin operations can take place through rtnl_lock.
hardif_list_lock only adds additional overhead and complexity.

Critical functions now check whether they are called with rtnl_lock
using ASSERT_RTNL.

It indirectly fixes the problem that orig_hash_del_if() expects that
only one interface is deleted from hardif_list at a time, but
hardif_remove_interfaces() removes all at once and then calls
orig_hash_del_if().

David Decotigny 7073949720 ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
instead.

For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.

Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work

Linus Lüssing 9e0b33c221 batman-adv: Fix possible buffer overflow in softif neigh list output
When printing the soft interface table the number of entries in the
softif neigh list are first being counted and a fitting buffer
allocated. After that the softif neigh list gets locked again and
the buffer printed - which has the following two issues:

For one thing, the softif neigh list might have grown when reacquiring
the rcu lock, which results in writing outside of the allocated buffer.
Furthermore 31 Bytes are not enough for printing an entry with a vid
of more than 2 digits.

The manual buffering is unnecessary, we can safely print to the seq
directly during the rcu_read_lock().
