Ilpo Järvinen a0bffffc14 net/*: use linux/kernel.h swap()
tcp_sack_swap seems unnecessary so I pushed swap to the caller.
Also removed comment that seemed then pointless, and added include
when not already there. Compile tested.

Jarek Poplawski 7cd0a63872 pkt_sched: Change misleading code in class delete.
While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858
I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero
refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and
destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen
like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after
delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is
always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock.

This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls
were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug
in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds,
which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

Jarek Poplawski a883bf564e pkt_sched: act_police: Fix a rate estimator test.
A commit c1b56878fb "tc: policing requires
a rate estimator" introduced a test which invalidates previously working
configs, based on examples from iproute2: doc/actions/actions-general.
This is too rigorous: a rate estimator is needed only when police's
"avrate" option is used.

David S. Miller c276e098d3 Revert "net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28"
This reverts commit 22604c8668.

We can't fix this issue in this way, because we now can try
to take the dev_base_lock rwlock as a writer in software interrupt
context and that is not allowed without major surgery elsewhere.

This initial link state problem needs to be solved in some other
way.

Michael Marineau 22604c8668 net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org>

Commit b47300168e "Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for
drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device.
Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their
link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING
flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was
previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is
not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as
reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on
__LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3],
and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is
not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link,
I don't know if and when it may get set.)

The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I
tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted
without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report
RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to
start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted
with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time
out the first time.

The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable
correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called
but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call
entirely as the previous fix did. (sorry it isn't inline, I don't have
a patch friendly email client at the moment)

Jarek Poplawski points out:

If all child qdiscs of sch_drr are non-work-conserving (e.g. sch_tbf)
drr_dequeue() will busy-loop waiting for skbs instead of leaving the
job for a watchdog. Checking for list_empty() in each loop isn't
necessary either, because this can never be true except the first time.

Using non-work-conserving qdiscs as children of DRR makes no sense,
simply bail out in that case.

Patrick McHardy 47a1a1d4be pkt_sched: remove unnecessary xchg() in packet classifiers
The use of xchg() hasn't been necessary since 2.2.something when proper
locking was added to packet schedulers. In the case of classifiers they
mostly weren't even necessary before that since they're mainly used
to assign a NULL pointer to the filter root in the ->destroy path;
the root is destroyed immediately after that.

Patrick McHardy 13d2a1d2b0 pkt_sched: add DRR scheduler
Add classful DRR scheduler as a more flexible replacement for SFQ.

The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing
using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets
from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are
handled by each individual child qdisc.

Stephen Hemminger d314774cf2 netdev: network device operations infrastructure
This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.

This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.

After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.

Some function pointers aren't moved:
* destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
  it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
* neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
  consideration
* hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.
