Daniel Lezcano 79b569f0ec netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabled
In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled,
we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger
than the expected value.

This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has
TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets
without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb
and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled
when we want to check the mtu size.

Stanislaw Gruszka 673e63c688 net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value
After commit d5dbda2380 "ethtool: Add
support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX,
and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan
acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that
function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not
match current settings and can not be changed by driver.

Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use
ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future
(also on drivers that do not have the problem).

Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver.

stephen hemminger edf947f100 bridge: notify applications if address of bridge device changes
The mac address of the bridge device may be changed when a new interface
is added to the bridge. If this happens, then the bridge needs to call
the network notifiers to tickle any other systems that care. Since bridge
can be a module, this also means exporting the notifier function.

(bug introduced by commit 26ad787962
(pktgen: speedup fragmented skbs)

The headers of pktgen were incorrectly added in a pktgen packet
without frags (frags=0). There was an offset in the pktgen headers.

The cause was in reusing the pgh variable as a return variable in skb_put
when adding the payload to the skb.

Vasiliy Kulikov 8909c9ad8f net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules
Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

so its stack was freed and reused).

Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)

This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

David S. Miller 3c7bd1a140 net: Add initial_ref arg to dst_alloc().
This allows avoiding multiple writes to the initial __refcnt.

The most simplest cases of wanting an initial reference of "1"
in ipv4 and ipv6 have been converted, the rest have been left
along and kept at the existing "0".

Michał Mirosław e83d360d9a net: introduce NETIF_F_RXCSUM
Introduce NETIF_F_RXCSUM to replace device-private flags for RX checksum
offload. Integrate it with ndo_fix_features.

ethtool_op_get_rx_csum() is removed altogether as nothing in-tree uses it.

Michał Mirosław 5455c6998d net: Introduce new feature setting ops
This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
  - new fields in struct net_device:
	+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
	+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
  - new netdev_ops:
	+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
		enabling features or their combinations
	+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
		changed dev->features
  - new ethtool commands:
	+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
		and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
		changed
	+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)

Ben Hutchings 69a19ee60d net: RPS: Make hardware-accelerated RFS conditional on NETIF_F_NTUPLE
For testing and debugging purposes it is useful to be able to disable
hardware acceleration of RFS without disabling RFS altogether.  Since
this is a similar feature to 'n-tuple' flow steering through the
ethtool API, test the same feature flag that controls that.

Ben Hutchings 5c56580b74 net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregister
If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's
ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device
unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is
destroyed.  Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects
to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0.
