Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in _tx_reclaim_skb that
can be called in hard irq and other contexts.
dev_consume_skb is used as _tx_reclaim_skb is called after a packet
has been successfully transmitted.

The recursion occurs when subscr_terminate tries to grab the

We fix this by checking if the request to establish a new
subscription was successful, and if not we initiate termination of
the subscriber after we have released the subscriber lock.

The VXLAN neigh_reduce() code is completely non-functional since
check-in. Specific errors:
1) The original code drops all packets with a multicast destination address,
even though neighbor solicitations are sent to the solicited-node
address, a multicast address. The code after this check was never run.
2) The neighbor table lookup used the IPv6 header destination, which is the
solicited node address, rather than the target address from the
neighbor solicitation. So neighbor lookups would always fail if it
got this far. Also for L3MISSes.
3) The code calls ndisc_send_na(), which does a send on the tunnel device.
The context for neigh_reduce() is the transmit path, vxlan_xmit(),
where the host or a bridge-attached neighbor is trying to transmit
a neighbor solicitation. To respond to it, the tunnel endpoint needs
to do a *receive* of the appropriate neighbor advertisement. Doing a
send, would only try to send the advertisement, encapsulated, to the
remote destinations in the fdb -- hosts that definitely did not do the
corresponding solicitation.
4) The code uses the tunnel endpoint IPv6 forwarding flag to determine the
isrouter flag in the advertisement. This has nothing to do with whether
or not the target is a router, and generally won't be set since the
tunnel endpoint is bridging, not routing, traffic.
The patch below creates a proxy neighbor advertisement to respond to
neighbor solicitions as intended, providing proper IPv6 support for neighbor
reduction.

====================
net: davinci_emac: Fix interrupt requests and error handling
since commit 6892b41d9701283085b655c6086fb57a5d63fa47 (Linux 3.11) the
davinci_emac driver is broken. After doing ifconfig down, ifconfig up,
requesting the interrupts for the driver fails. The interface remains dead
until the board is rebooted.
The first patch in this patchset reverts commit
6892b41d9701283085b655c6086fb57a5d63fa47 partially and makes the driver
useable again.
During the work on the first patch, a number of bugs in the error handling
of the driver's ndo_open code were found. The second patch fixes these bugs.
I believe the first patch meets the rules for stable kernels, I therefore added
the stable tag to this patch. The second patch is just cleanup, the code
that is fixed by this patch is only executed in case of an error.

If an error occurs during the initialization in emac_dev_open() (the
driver's ndo_open function), interrupts, DMA descriptors etc. must be freed.
The current rollback code is buggy in several ways.
1) Freeing the interrupts. The current code will not free all interrupts
that were requested by the driver. Furthermore, the code tries to do a
platform_get_resource(priv->pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, -1) in its last
iteration.
This patch fixes these bugs.
2) Wrong order of err: and rollback: labels. If the setup of the PHY in
the code fails, the interrupts that have been requested before are
not freed:
request irq
if requesting irqs fails, goto rollback
setup phy
if phy setup fails, goto err
return 0
rollback:
free irqs
err:
This patch brings the code into the correct order.
3) The code calls napi_enable() and emac_int_enable(), but does not
undo both in case of an error.
This patch adds calls of emac_int_disable() and napi_disable() to the
rollback code.
4) RX DMA descriptors are not freed in case of an error: Right before
requesting the irqs, the function creates DMA descriptors for the
RX channel. These RX descriptors are never freed when we jump to either
rollback or err.
This patch adds code for freeing the DMA descriptors in the case of
an initialization error. This required a modification of
cpdma_ctrl_stop() in davinci_cpdma.c: We must be able to call this
function to free the DMA descriptors while the DMA channels are
in IDLE state (before cpdma_ctlr_start() was called).
Tested on a custom board with the Texas Instruments AM1808.

In commit 6892b41d9701283085b655c6086fb57a5d63fa47
Author: Lad, Prabhakar <prabhakar.csengg@gmail.com>
Date: Tue Jun 25 21:24:51 2013 +0530
net: davinci: emac: Convert to devm_* api
the call of request_irq is replaced by devm_request_irq and the call
of free_irq is removed. But since interrupts are requested in
emac_dev_open, doing ifconfig up/down on the board requests the
interrupts again each time, causing devm_request_irq to fail. The
interface is dead until the device is rebooted.
This patch reverts said commit partially: It changes the driver back
to use request_irq instead of devm_request_irq, puts free_irq back in
place, but keeps the remaining changes of the original patch.

In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before
potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call.
As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield:
Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that
pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause
a return from this service.
It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this
bug. My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware
and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation
chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and
requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this
call.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, ixgbevf, i40e and i40evf.
Anjali provides a i40e/i40evf patch to add Energy Efficient Ethernet
Low Power Idle stats and a fix for i40e to change the string
"Side Band" to "Sideband" for consistency.
Mitch provides 2 patches for i40evf to fix if the driver encounters
an error while communicating with the PF driver, do not shut down the
admin queue unconditionally. Add an error message when the admin
queue message never completes and fix formatting on another message
that was unnecessarily wrapped.
Mark provides a ixgbe patch and five ixgbevf patches. Fix a possible
infinite recursion when an adapter is removed and registers all read
as all one's in ixgbe_clear_vmdq_generic() and ixgbe_clear_rar_generic().
Converts macros to static inline functions to align kernel coding standard
and prepare for adding Live Error Recovery (LER) to ixgbevf. Change the
ethtool register test to use the normal register accessor functions and
eliminate macors used for calling register test functions to make error
exits more clear. Checks all register reads for adapter removal by checking
the status register after any register read that returns all F's since the
status register will never return 0xFFFFFFFF unless the adapter is removed.
Jacob implements SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl for igb which enables user processes
to read the current hardware stamp config settings non-destructively.
Todd adds the initial register read and write for surprise removal (LER)
for igb.
Christian Engelmayer fixes an igb memory leak in the igb_get_module_eeprom()
error handling path.
Ken Ichikawa provides a fix for igb, specifically for 82575 hardware to
specify -1 to the phc_index for ethtool's get_ts_info, otherwise a wrong
value will be set to the phc_index.
Christopher Paasch fixes a null pointer dereference in igb and makes sure
to unset the HAS_MSIX flag when the driver falls back to MSI only.

The P1010 device tree restricts the number of
supported interrupt groups to 1, although the eth
controller can support 2 interrupt groups and the
driver assumes the Multi-Group mode ("fsl,etsec2" model).
So, in this case the assumption that the Multi-Group
mode (MQ_MG_MODE) devices always support 2 interrupt
groups is false. To fix this, a check for the actual
number of interrupt groups enabled in the board's
device tree has been added in gfar_probe for the
"fsl,etsec2" devices.
Without this fix, P1010 based boards claim support for
2 Tx queues to the net stack but only one is actually
allocated, leading to NULL access in xmit. This issue
was introduced by enabling Single-Queue polling for
the P1010 devices.

When changing one 16bit value by another in IP header, we can adjust
the IP checksum by doing a simple operation described in RFC 1624, as
reminded by David.
csum_partial() is a complex function on x86_64, not really suited for
small number of checksummed bytes.
I spotted csum_partial() being in the top 20 most consuming functions
(more than 1 %) in a GRO workload, which was rather unexpected.
The caller was inet_gro_complete() doing a csum_replace2() when
building the new IP header for the GRO packet.

We can get false negative from __lookup_mnt() if an unrelated vfsmount
gets moved. In that case legitimize_mnt() is guaranteed to fail,
and we will fall back to non-RCU walk... unless we end up running
into a hard error on a filesystem object we wouldn't have reached
if not for that false negative. IOW, delaying that check until
the end of pathname resolution is wrong - we should recheck right
after we attempt to cross the mountpoint. We don't need to recheck
unless we see d_mountpoint() being true - in that case even if
we have just raced with mount/umount, we can simply go on as if
we'd come at the moment when the sucker wasn't a mountpoint; if we
run into a hard error as the result, it was a legitimate outcome.
__lookup_mnt() returning NULL is different in that respect, since
it might've happened due to operation on completely unrelated
mountpoint.

Commit bd2a31d522344 ("get rid of fget_light()") introduced the
__fdget_pos() function, which returns the resulting file pointer and
fdput flags combined in an 'unsigned long'. However, it also changed the
behavior to return files with FMODE_PATH set, which shouldn't happen
because read(), write(), lseek(), etc. aren't allowed on such files.
This commit restores the old behavior.
This regression actually had no effect on read() and write() since
FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE are not set on file descriptors opened with
O_PATH, but it did cause lseek() on a file descriptor opened with O_PATH
to fail with ESPIPE rather than EBADF.

====================
Included changes:
- use ether_addr_copy instead of memcpy when possible
- implement new multicast packet optimisation
- improve several kerneldoc sections
- minor code cleanups
here you have our patchset for net-next/linux-3.15. They are 16
patches but most of them are just small cleanups and kerneldoc
improvements.
The only big change is the one from patch 8 to 13 by Linus Lüssing
that introduces a new multicast packets optimisation. This new
component aims to reduce the air overhead by sending multicast packets
as bat-unicast when only one destination exists or by dropping them
directly at the source if the multicast group is totally empty.
In patch 11 Linus introduces an atomic_t variable, that like others
that we already have is only object of write and read, thus making the
atomic characteristic totally useless. Unfortunately this is part of
our sysfs framework, that helps the developer to introduce new knobs
by using few macros only. For this reason we decided to keep Linus'
new knob for now, but I'd like to let you know that we are in the
process of re-working such framework in order to convert all the
current (useless) atomic_t to boolean in one go.

With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which
have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets
to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too.
Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where
multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not
sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise:
MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism
for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2
querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not
going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according
to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers:
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------
{Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener}
---------------
\ ^
-------
| br0 | < ???
-------
\
_-~---~_
_-~/ ~-_
~ batman-adv \-----{Sender}
\~_ cloud ~/
-~~__-__-~_/
I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded
II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier}
-> br0 cannot detect the {Listener}
=> Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all
detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers,
because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no
trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners.
Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the
according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or
unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes
IPv6 multicast packet, too.
The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed
because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).
Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.
Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.

With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:
If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...
* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

If the soft interface of a node is not part of a bridge then a node
announces a new multicast TVLV: The existence of this TVLV
signalizes that this node is announcing all of its multicast listeners
via the translation table infrastructure.
