This is a workaround for VHT-enabled STAs which break the spec
and have the VHT-MCS Rx map filled in with value 3 for all eight
spacial streams, an example is AR9462 in AP mode.

As per spec, in section 22.1.1 Introduction to the VHT PHY
A VHT STA shall support at least single spactial stream VHT-MCSs
0 to 7 (transmit and receive) in all supported channel widths.

Some devices in STA mode will get firmware assert when trying to
associate, examples are QCA9377 & QCA6174.

Some IPCB fields are currently set in udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb(), which are

This clears these unused IPCB related codes. Currently there is no skb

skb->cb may contain data from previous layers. In the observed scenario,
the garbage data were misinterpreted as IP6CB(skb)->frag_max_size, so
that small packets sent through the tunnel are mistakenly fragmented.

This patch unconditionally clears the control buffer in ip6tunnel_xmit(),
which affects ip6_tunnel, ip6_udp_tunnel and ip6_gre. Currently none of
these tunnels set IP6CB(skb)->flags, otherwise it needs to be done earlier.

The coalesce settings behave badly when changing just one value:

... # ethtool -c eth0
rx-usecs: 249
... # ethtool -C eth0 tx-usecs 250
... # ethtool -c eth0
rx-usecs: 248

This occurs due to rounding errors when calculating the microseconds
value - the divisons round down.  This causes (eg) the rx-usecs to
decrease by one every time the tx-usecs value is set as per the above.

Fix this by making the divison round-to-nearest.

Current bgmac code initializes some DMA settings in the receive control
register for some hardware and then immediately clears those settings.
Not clearing those settings results in ~420Mbps *improvement* in
throughput; this system can now receive frames at line-rate on Broadcom
5871x hardware compared to ~520Mbps today.  I also tested a few other
values but found there to be no discernible difference in CPU
utilization even if burst size and prefetching values are different.

On the hardware tested there was no need to keep the code that cleared
all but bits 16-17, but since there is a wide variety of hardware that
used this driver (I did not look at all hardware docs for hardware using
this IP block), I find it wise to move this call up and clear bits just
after reading the default value from the hardware rather than completely
removing it.

This is a good candidate for -stable >=3.14 since that is when the code
that was supposed to improve performance (but did not) was introduced.

Prior to this patch, in rx path, before calling lock_sock, it needed to
hold assoc when got it by __sctp_lookup_association, in case other place
would free/put assoc.

But in __sctp_lookup_association, it lookup and hold transport, then got
assoc by transport->assoc, then hold assoc and put transport. It means
it didn't hold transport, yet it was returned and later on directly
assigned to chunk->transport.

Without the protection of sock lock, the transport may be freed/put by
other places, which would cause a use-after-free issue.

This patch is to fix this issue by holding transport instead of assoc.
As holding transport can make sure to access assoc is also safe, and
actually it looks up assoc by searching transport rhashtable, to hold
transport here makes more sense.

Note that the function will be renamed later on on another patch.

In the device, a MID entry represents a group of local ports, which can
later be bound to a MDB entry.

The lookup of an existing MID entry is currently done using the provided
MC MAC address and VID, from the Linux bridge. However, this can result
in an incorrect reuse of the same MID index in different VLAN-unaware
bridges (same IP MC group and VID 0).

Fix this by performing the lookup based on FID instead of VID, which is
unique across different bridges.

If a congestion control module doesn't provide .undo_cwnd function,
tcp_undo_cwnd_reduction() will set cwnd to

   tp->snd_cwnd = max(tp->snd_cwnd, tp->snd_ssthresh << 1);

... which makes sense for reno (it sets ssthresh to half the current cwnd),
but it makes no sense for dctcp, which sets ssthresh based on the current
congestion estimate.

This can cause severe growth of cwnd (eventually overflowing u32).

Fix this by saving last cwnd on loss and restore cwnd based on that,
similar to cubic and other algorithms.

The r8152 driver has been broken since (approx) 3.16.xx
when support was added for hardware RX checksums
on newer chip versions.  Symptoms include random
segfaults and silent data corruption over NFS.

The hardware checksum logig does not work on the VER_02
dongles I have here when used with a slow embedded system CPU.
Google reveals others reporting similar issues on Raspberry Pi.

So, disable hardware RX checksum support for VER_02, and fix
an obvious coding error for IPV6 checksums in the same function.

Because this bug results in silent data corruption,
it is a good candidate for back-porting to -stable >= 3.16.xx.

When MTU is changed from 9000 to 1500 while there is burst of inbound 9000
bytes packets, adaptor sometimes delivers 9000 bytes packets to 1500 bytes
buffers. This causes memory corruption and sometimes crash.

This is because of a race condition in adaptor between "RQ disable"
clearing descriptor mini-cache and mini-cache valid bit being set by
completion of descriptor fetch. This can result in stale RQ desc being
cached and used when packets arrive. In this case, the stale descriptor
have old MTU value.

Solution is to write RQ->disable twice. The first write will stop any
further desc fetches, allowing the second disable to clear the mini-cache
valid bit without danger of a race.

Also, the check for rq->running becoming 0 after writing rq->enable to 0
is not done properly. When incoming packets are flooding the interface,
rq->running will pulse high for each dropped packet. Since the driver was
waiting for 10us between each poll, it is possible to see rq->running = 1
1000 times in a row, even though it is not actually stuck running.
This results in false failure of vnic_rq_disable(). Fix is to try more
than 1000 time without delay between polls to ensure we do not miss when
running goes low.

In old adaptors rq->enable needs to be re-written to 0 when posted_index
is reset in vnic_rq_clean() in order to keep rq->prefetch_index in sync.

In commit 2d18ac4b ("tipc: extend broadcast link initialization
criteria") we tried to fix a problem with the initial synchronization
of broadcast link acknowledge values. Unfortunately that solution is
not sufficient to solve the issue.

We have seen it happen that LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE packets with a valid
non-zero unicast acknowledge number may bypass BCAST_PROTOCOL
initialization, NAME_DISTRIBUTOR and other STATE packets with invalid
broadcast acknowledge numbers, leading to premature opening of the
broadcast link. When the bypassed packets finally arrive, they are
inadvertently accepted, and the already correctly initialized
acknowledge number in the broadcast receive link is overwritten by
the invalid (zero) value of the said packets. After this the broadcast
link goes stale.

We now fix this by marking the packets where we know the acknowledge
value is or may be invalid, and then ignoring the acks from those.

To this purpose, we claim an unused bit in the header to indicate that
the value is invalid. We set the bit to 1 in the initial BCAST_PROTOCOL
synchronization packet and all initial ("bulk") NAME_DISTRIBUTOR
packets, plus those LINK_PROTOCOL packets sent out before the broadcast
links are fully synchronized.

This minor protocol update is fully backwards compatible.
