Conflicts:
	MAINTAINERS
	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c

The iwlwifi conflict was resolved by keeping the code added
in 'net' that turns off the buggy chip feature.

The MAINTAINERS conflict was merely overlapping changes, one
change updated all the wireless web site URLs and the other
changed some GIT trees to be Johannes's instead of John's.

95603e2293 net-next: add dev_loopback_xmit() to avoid duplicate code
Add dev_loopback_xmit() in order to deduplicate functions
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv4/ip_output.c) and
ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() (in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c).

I was about to reinvent the wheel when I noticed that
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() and ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() do exactly what I
need and are not IP-only functions, but they were not available to reuse
elsewhere.

ip6_dev_loopback_xmit() does not have line "skb_dst_force(skb);", but I
understand that this is harmless, and should be in dev_loopback_xmit().

5ee31c6898 bonding: Fix corrupted queue_mapping
In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to
stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its
own queue mapping.  This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is
also used in __dev_xmit_skb.

When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is
called from dev_queue_xmit.  In bond_select_queue the original
skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping)
and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue.

Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes
the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed
queue mappping.  In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit),
the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now
the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device.

If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to
add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with
other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...)

This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8
bytes :

netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without
misalignment penalty.

Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[].
The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it.

Based on a previous patch from Tom Herbert.

d0daebc3d6 ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8
Routing of 127/8 is tradtionally forbidden, we consider
packets from that address block martian when routing and do
not process corresponding ARP requests.

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space
practically unuseable.

The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should
ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid
the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in
particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests
behind a load balancer.

This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet'
enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing
of ARP requests on a specific interface.

Note that for the feature to work, the default local route
covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed.

Example:
  $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1
  $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local
  $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0
  $ ip route flush cache

b48c80ece9 inet: Add family scope inetpeer flushes.
This implementation can deal with having many inetpeer roots, which is
a necessary prerequisite for per-FIB table rooted peer tables.

Each family (AF_INET, AF_INET6) has a sequence number which we bump
when we get a family invalidation request.

Each peer lookup cheaply checks whether the flush sequence of the
root we are using is out of date, and if so flushes it and updates
the sequence number.

46517008e1 ipv4: Kill ip_rt_frag_needed().
There is zero point to this function.

It's only real substance is to perform an extremely outdated BSD4.2
ICMP check, which we can safely remove.  If you really have a MTU
limited link being routed by a BSD4.2 derived system, here's a nickel
go buy yourself a real router.

The other actions of ip_rt_frag_needed(), checking and conditionally
updating the peer, are done by the per-protocol handlers of the ICMP
event.

TCP, UDP, et al. have a handler which will receive this event and
transmit it back into the associated route via dst_ops->update_pmtu().

This simplification is important, because it eliminates the one place
where we do not have a proper route context in which to make an
inetpeer lookup.

97bab73f98 inet: Hide route peer accesses behind helpers.
We encode the pointer(s) into an unsigned long with one state bit.

The state bit is used so we can store the inetpeer tree root to use
when resolving the peer later.

Later the peer roots will be per-FIB table, and this change works to
facilitate that.

8876d6b5f8 net: Make linux/tcp.h C++ friendly (trivial)
I originally sent this patch to <trivial@kernel.org>, but Jiri Kosina did
not feel that this is fully appropriate for the trivial tree.

Using linux/tcp.h from C++ results in:

cat t.cc
#include <linux/tcp.h>
int main() { }

g++ -c t.cc

In file included from t.cc:1:
/usr/include/linux/tcp.h:72: error: '__u32 __fswab32(__u32)' cannot appear in a constant-expression
/usr/include/linux/tcp.h:72: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression
...

Attached trivial patch fixes this problem.

Tested:
- the t.cc above compiles with g++ and
- the following program generates the same output before/after
  the patch:

#include <linux/tcp.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
#define P(a) printf("%s: %08x\n", #a, (int)a)

2397849baa [PATCH] tcp: Cache inetpeer in timewait socket, and only when necessary.
Since it's guarenteed that we will access the inetpeer if we're trying
to do timewait recycling and TCP options were enabled on the
connection, just cache the peer in the timewait socket.

In the future, inetpeer lookups will be context dependent (per routing
realm), and this helps facilitate that as well.

4670fd819e tcp: Get rid of inetpeer special cases.
The get_peer method TCP uses is full of special cases that make no
sense accommodating, and it also gets in the way of doing more
reasonable things here.

First of all, if the socket doesn't have a usable cached route, there
is no sense in trying to optimize timewait recycling.

Likewise for the case where we have IP options, such as SRR enabled,
that make the IP header destination address (and thus the destination
address of the route key) differ from that of the connection's
destination address.

Just return a NULL peer in these cases, and thus we're also able to
get rid of the clumsy inetpeer release logic.

7123aaa3a1 af_unix: speedup /proc/net/unix
/proc/net/unix has quadratic behavior, and can hold unix_table_lock for
a while if high number of unix sockets are alive. (90 ms for 200k
sockets...)

We already have a hash table, so its quite easy to use it.

Problem is unbound sockets are still hashed in a single hash slot
(unix_socket_table[UNIX_HASH_TABLE])

This patch also spreads unbound sockets to 256 hash slots, to speedup
both /proc/net/unix and unix_diag.

Time to read /proc/net/unix with 200k unix sockets :
(time dd if=/proc/net/unix of=/dev/null bs=4k)

before : 520 secs
after : 2 secs

protos such tcp and tcp6 use the same data,so making nf_ip_net as a field

2eb278e083 mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channel
Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of
the generic off-channel work concept, replacing
it with a simple remain-on-channel list.

This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC
implementation:
 * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued,
   now we can queue it as well, if needed
 * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is
   mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new
   queue to handle that case -- I expect that it
   will later depend on a HW flag

The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug
in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt
TX request while HW roc is active, and this new
request has a wait time, we actually schedule a
software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the
existing offloaded ROC will still be that long.
To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed.

The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet
optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW
extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later
but for now use a software implementation.

Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the
offloaded and software-implemented case as much
as possible.

196ac1c13d mac80211: do remain-on-channel while idle
The IDLE handling in HW off-channel is broken right
now since we turn off IDLE only when the off-channel
period already started. Therefore, all drivers that
use it today (only iwlwifi!) must support off-channel
while idle, so playing with idle isn't needed at all.

Off-channel in general, since it's no longer used for
authentication/association, shouldn't affect PS, so
also remove that logic.

Also document a small caveat for reporting TX status
from off-channel frames in HW remain-on-channel.

ebf348fcd0 cfg80211: validate remain-on-channel time better
The remain-on-channel time validation shouldn't
depend on the value of HZ, as it does now with
the check against jiffies, since then you might
use a value that works on one system but not on
another. Fix it by checking against a minimum
that's fixed.

Also add validation of the wait duration for a
management frame TX since this also translates
into remain-on-channel internally.

ccaf8c32d5 ssb: recognize ARM Cortex M3
I found this core on a BCM4322, a PCI card in the Linksys WRT610N V1.
This core is not used by the driver, this patch just makes ssb show the
correct name.

e8c9bd5b8d cfg80211: clarify set_channel APIs
Now that we've removed all uses of the set_channel
API except for the monitor channel and in libertas,
clarify this. Split the libertas mesh use into a
new libertas_set_mesh_channel() operation, just to
keep backward compatibility, and rename the normal
set_channel() to set_monitor_channel().

Also describe the desired set_monitor_channel()
semantics more clearly.

55432d2b54 inetpeer: fix a race in inetpeer_gc_worker()
commit 5faa5df1fa (inetpeer: Invalidate the inetpeer tree along with
the routing cache) added a race :

Before freeing an inetpeer, we must respect a RCU grace period, and make
sure no user will attempt to increase refcnt.

inetpeer_invalidate_tree() waits for a RCU grace period before inserting
inetpeer tree into gc_list and waking the worker. At that time, no
concurrent lookup can find a inetpeer in this tree.
