7bc0f28c7a netem: rate extension
Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.

To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used.  But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.

Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.

This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit

To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps

Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

Rick Jones reported that TCP_CONGESTION sockopt performed on a listener

congestion control for new socket is the system default one.

This seems an oversight of the initial design (quoted from Stephen)

0bac71af6e cfg80211: amend regulatory NULL dereference fix
Johannes' patch for "cfg80211: fix regulatory NULL dereference"
broke user regulaotry hints and it did not address the fact that
last_request was left populated even if the previous regulatory
hint was stale due to the wiphy disappearing.

Fix user reguluatory hints by only bailing out if for those
regulatory hints where a request_wiphy is expected. The stale last_request
considerations are addressed through the previous fixes on last_request
where we reset the last_request to a static world regdom request upon
reset_regdomains(). In this case though we further enhance the effect
by simply restoring reguluatory settings completely.

to reproduce but it was easy to do so through the
regulatory simulator I have been working on. This

1281bc2565 netlabel: Fix build problems when IPv6 is not enabled
A recent fix to the the NetLabel code caused build problem with
configurations that did not have IPv6 enabled; see below:

 netlabel_kapi.c: In function 'netlbl_cfg_unlbl_map_add':
 netlabel_kapi.c:165:4:
  error: implicit declaration of function 'netlbl_af6list_add'

This patch fixes this problem by making the IPv6 specific code conditional
on the IPv6 configuration flags as we done in the rest of NetLabel and the
network stack as a whole.  We have to move some variable declarations
around as a result so things may not be quite as pretty, but at least it
builds cleanly now.

Some additional IPv6 conditionals were added to the NetLabel code as well
for the sake of consistency.

c89304b8ea sctp: better integer overflow check in sctp_auth_create_key()
The check from commit 30c2235c is incomplete and cannot prevent
cases like key_len = 0x80000000 (INT_MAX + 1).  In that case, the
left-hand side of the check (INT_MAX - key_len), which is unsigned,
becomes 0xffffffff (UINT_MAX) and bypasses the check.

However this shouldn't be a security issue.  The function is called
from the following two code paths:

 1) setsockopt()

 2) sctp_auth_asoc_set_secret()

In case (1), sca_keylength is never going to exceed 65535 since it's
bounded by a u16 from the user API.  As such, the key length will
never overflow.

In case (2), sca_keylength is computed based on the user key (1 short)
and 2 * key_vector (3 shorts) for a total of 7 * USHRT_MAX, which still
will not overflow.

In other words, this overflow check is not really necessary.  Just
make it more correct.

f07d960df3 tcp: avoid frag allocation for small frames
tcp_sendmsg() uses select_size() helper to choose skb head size when a
new skb must be allocated.

If GSO is enabled for the socket, current strategy is to force all
payload data to be outside of headroom, in PAGE fragments.

This strategy is not welcome for small packets, wasting memory.

Experiments show that best results are obtained when using 2048 bytes
for skb head (This includes the skb overhead and various headers)

This patch provides better len/truesize ratios for packets sent to
loopback device, and reduce memory needs for in-flight loopback packets,
particularly on arches with big pages.

If a sender sends many 1-byte packets to an unresponsive application,
receiver rmem_alloc will grow faster and will stop queuing these packets
sooner, or will collapse its receive queue to free excess memory.

netperf -t TCP_RR results are improved by ~4 %, and many workloads are
improved as well (tbench, mysql...)

Thanks David !

Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.

[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store

gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
break the rule.

6b5a5c0dbb tcp: do not scale TSO segment size with reordering degree
Since 2005 (c1b4a7e69576d65efc31a8cea0714173c2841244)
tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit
for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using
sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008
(dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36) tcp_max_burst() returns the
reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to
build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This
commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion
of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral
limit to its original value.

Since jump_label_{inc|dec} must be called from process context only,
we must defer jump_label_dec() if net_disable_timestamp() is called
from interrupt context.

10cae1c8df NET: NETROM: Cleanup argument SIOCADDRT ioctl argument checking.
nr_route.ndigis is unsigned int so the nr_route.ndigis < 0 expression is
never true and can be dropped.  Doing the nr_ax25_dev_get call later
allows the nr_route.ndigis test to bail out without having to dev_put.

ac1a1de315 NET: NETROM: When adding a route verify length of mnemonic string.
struct nr_route_struct's mnemonic permits a string of up to 7 bytes to be
used.  If userland passes a not zero terminated string to the kernel adding
a node to the routing table might result in the kernel attempting to read
copy a too long string.

Mnemonic is part of the NET/ROM routing protocol; NET/ROM routing table
updates only broadcast 6 bytes.  The 7th byte in the mnemonic array exists
only as a \0 termination character for the kernel code's convenience.

Fixed by rejecting mnemonic strings that have no terminating \0 in the first
7 characters.  Do this test only NETROM_NODE to avoid breaking NETROM_NEIGH
where userland might passing an uninitialized mnemonic field.

be639ac690 NET: AX.25: Check ioctl arguments to avoid overflows further down the road.
Very large, nonsenical arguments or use in very extreme conditions could
result in integer overflows.  Check ioctls arguments to avoid such
overflows and return -EINVAL for too large arguments.

To allow the use of AX.25 for even the most extreme setup (think packet
radio to the Phase 5E mars probe) we make no further attempt to clamp the
argument range.

a00bd469b6 sch_sfb: use skb_flow_dissect()
Current SFB double hashing is not fulfilling SFB theory, if two flows
share same rxhash value.

Using skb_flow_dissect() permits to really have better hash dispersion,
and get tunnelling support as well.

Double hashing point was mentioned by Florian Westphal
