Randy Dunlap b3784a77f6 docsrc: fix ifenslave type
Documentation/networking/ifenslave.c:1084: warning: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness

>From include/linux/socket.h:
 *	1003.1g requires sa_family_t and that sa_data is char.

and from SUSv3:
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/socket.h.html)

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the sockaddr structure that includes at least the following members:

Randy Dunlap 3794f3e812 docsrc: build Documentation/ sources
Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them.  This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.

Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources.  Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

Gerrit Renker 47112e25da udplite: Protection against coverage value wrap-around
This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF.

Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted
wrap-around.  Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838,
3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful.

Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation.

Jay Vosburgh b8a9787edd bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero
Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to
zero.  This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can
be created via sysfs).

	Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the
netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created,
but this is no longer possible.  Instead, an interface from net/core is
created to create and destroy files in net_class.

	Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>.
Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to
update the documentation.

Jay Vosburgh b59f9f74c4 bonding: Rework / fix multiple gratuitous ARP support
Support for sending multiple gratuitous ARPs during failovers
was added by commit:

commit 7893b2491a
Author: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com>
Date:   Sat May 17 21:10:12 2008 -0700

    bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over

	This change modifies that support to remove duplicated code,
add support for ARP monitor (the original only supported miimon), clear
the grat ARP counter in bond_close (lest a later "ifconfig up" immediately
start spewing ARPs), and add documentation for the module parameter.

	Also updated driver version to 3.3.0.

Jouni Malinen acc1e7a300 mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single
device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and
user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that
matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN
hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another
hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this
testing tool.

Jay Vosburgh 3915c1e863 bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_mac
Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac.  This option
causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active
slave changes.  This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option
that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover.

	This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate
multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either
because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the
case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices).  Because the MAC of the
bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more
reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during
operation.

	This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly
handle RTNL during failovers.

Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
