When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

Exporting IGMP/MLD checking from bridge code

The multicast optimizations in batman-adv are yet only usable and
enabled in non-bridged scenarios. To be able to support bridged setups
batman-adv needs to be able to detect IGMP/MLD queriers and reports on
mesh nodes without bridges, too. See the following link for details:

http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multicast-optimizations-listener-reports

To avoid duplicate code between the bridge and batman-adv, the IGMP/MLD
message validation code is moved from the bridge to the IPv4/IPv6 stack.

On the way, some refactoring to increase readability and to iron out
some subtle differences between the IGMP and MLD parsing code is done.

With this patch, the IGMP and MLD message validation functions are moved
from the bridge code to IPv4/IPv6 multicast files. Some small
refactoring was done to enhance readibility and to iron out some
differences in behaviour between the IGMP and MLD parsing code (e.g. the
skb-cloning of MLD messages is now only done if necessary, just like the
IGMP part always did).

Finally, these IGMP and MLD message validation functions are exported so
that not only the bridge can use it but batman-adv later, too.

via-rhine rework

The series applies against davem-next as of
9dd3c797

 ("drivers: net: xgene: fix kbuild

Patches #1..#4 avoid holes in the receive ring.

Patch #5 is a small leftover cleanup for #1..#4.

Patches #6 and #7 are fairly simple barrier stuff.

Patch #8 closes some SMP transmit races - not that anyone really
complained about these but it's a bit hard to handwave that they
can be safely ignored. Some testing, especially SMP testing of
course, would be welcome.

. Changes since #2:
  - added dma_rmb barrier in vlan related patch 6.
  - s/wmb/dma_wmb/ in (*new*) patch 7 of 8.
  - added explicit SMP barriers in (*new*) patch 8 of 8.

. Changes since #1:
  - turned wmb() into dma_wmb() as suggested by davem and Alexander Duyck
    in patch 1 of 6.
  - forgot to reset rx_head_desc in rhine_reset_rbufs in patch 4 of 6.

net: Eliminate calls to flow_dissector and introduce flow_keys_digest

In this patch set we add skb_get_hash_perturb which gets the skbuff
hash for a packet and perturbs it using a provided key and jhash1.
This function is used in serveral qdiscs and eliminates many calls
to flow_dissector and jhash3 to get a perturbed hash for a packet.

To handle the sch_choke issue (passes flow_keys in skbuff cb) we
add flow_keys_digest which is a digest of a flow constructed
from a flow_keys structure.

This is the second version of these patches I posted a while ago,
and is prerequisite work to increasing the size of the flow_keys
structure and hashing over it (full IPv6 address, flow label, VLAN ID,
etc.).

Version 2:

- Add keyval parameter to __flow_hash_from_keys which allows caller to
  set the initval for jhash
- Perturb always does flow dissection and creates hash based on
  input perturb value which acts as the keyval to __flow_hash_from_keys
- Added a _flow_keys_digest_data which is used in make_flow_keys_digest.
  This fills out the digest by populating individual fields instead
  of copying the whole structure.

Some users of flow keys (well just sch_choke now) need to pass
flow_keys in skbuff cb, and use them for exact comparisons of flows
so that skb->hash is not sufficient. In order to increase size of
the flow_keys structure, we introduce another structure for
the purpose of passing flow keys in skbuff cb. We limit this structure
to sixteen bytes, and we will technically treat this as a digest of
flow_keys struct hence its name flow_keys_digest. In the first
incaranation we just copy the flow_keys structure up to 16 bytes--
this is the same information previously passed in the cb. In the
future, we'll adapt this for larger flow_keys and could use something
like SHA-1 over the whole flow_keys to improve the quality of the
digest.

In setups with a global scope address on an interface, and a lesser

tcp_sacktag_one() always picks the earliest sequence SACKed for RTT.
This might not make sense for congestion control in cases where:

  1. ACKs are lost, i.e. a SACK following a lost SACK covers both
     new and old segments at the receiver.
  2. The receiver disregards the RFC 5681 recommendation to immediately
     ACK out-of-order segments.

Give congestion control a RTT for the latest segment SACKed, which is the
most accurate RTT estimate, but preserve the conservative RTT for RTO.

A few minor clean-ups to eth_type_trans

This series addresses a few minor issues I found in eth_type_trans that
that allow us to gain back something like 3 or more cycles per packet.

The first change is to drop the byte swap since it isn't necessary.  On x86
we could just check the first byte and compare that against the upper 8
bits of the Ethertype to determine if we are dealing with a size value or
not.

The second makes it so that the value we read in to test for multicast can
be used for the address comparison.  This allows us to avoid a second read
of the destination address.

The final change is to avoid some unneeded instructions in computing the
Ethernet header pointer.  When we start the call the Ethernet header is at
skb->data, so we just use that rather than computing mac_header, and then
adding that back to skb->head.
====================

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Avoid recomputing the Ethernet header location and instead just use the
pointer provided by skb->data.  The problem with using eth_hdr is that the
compiler wasn't smart enough to realize that skb->head + skb->mac_header
was the same thing as skb->data before it added ETH_HLEN.  By just caching
it off before calling skb_pull_inline we can avoid a few unnecessary
instructions.

This change makes it so that we process the address in
is_multicast_ether_addr at the same size as the other calls.  This allows
us to avoid duplicate reads when used with other calls such as
is_zero_ether_addr or eth_addr_copy.  In addition I have added a 64 bit
version of the function so in eth_type_trans we can process the destination
address as a 64 bit value throughout.

masking the value and comparing it to the byte swapped value for
ETH_P_802_3_MIN.

This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges:
0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be
used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how
labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split
can be disbaled by systcl.

Background:

IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far
in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP
is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these
we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting
to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new
encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP.

Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify
how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that
these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a
good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels
can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are
presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide
with a stateful one.  Attempts to split the flow label space were
rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we
could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict.

This patch splits the flow label space and should give us
a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets.
This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with
existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower
values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers.

Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to
look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with
scaled testing).
