Caught by sparse:
- __rcu: missing annotation to sd->flow_limit
- __user: direct access in cpumask_scnprintf
Also
- add endline character when printing bitmap if room in buffer
- avoid bucket overflow by reducing FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY
The last item warrants some explanation. The hashtable buckets are
subject to overflow if FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY is larger than or equal
to bucket size, since all packets may end up in a single bucket. The
current (rather arbitrary) history value of 256 happens to match the
buffer size (u8).
As a result, with a single flow, the first 128 packets are accepted
(correct), the second 128 packets dropped (correct) and then the
history[] array has filled, so that each subsequent new packet
causes an increment in the bucket for new_flow plus a decrement
for old_flow: a steady state.
This is fine if packets are dropped, as the steady state goes away
as soon as a mix of traffic reappears. But, because the 256th packet
overflowed the bucket to 0: no packets are dropped.
Instead of explicitly adding an overflow check, this patch changes
FLOW_LIMIT_HISTORY to never be able to overflow a single bucket.

====================
This pull request is intended for the 3.11 stream...
One big highlight is the cw1200 driver the ST-E CW1100 & CW1200
WLAN chipsets. This one has been lingering for a while, lacking
some review comments. Once started getting pulled into linux-next,
it got a bit more attention and a number of improvements were made
over the initial cut. No doubt there will be more changes ahead,
but I think it is looking alright at this point.
Along with that, there is the usual flurry of updates to the mac80211
core and the iwlwifi, mwifiex, ath9k, rt2x00, wil6210, and other
drivers. A few of the highlights are some rt2x00 refactoring/cleanup
by Gabor Juhos, some rt2800 hardware support enhancements by Stanislaw
Gruszka, some iwlwifi power management updates from Alexander Bondar,
some enhanced bcma SPROM support from Rafał Miłecki, and a variety
of other things here and there.

As we know, netlink sockets are private resource of
net namespace, they can communicate with each other
only when they in the same net namespace. this works
well until we try to add namespace support for other
subsystems which use netlink.
Don't like ipv4 and route table.., it is not suited to
make these subsytems belong to net namespace, Such as
audit and crypto subsystems,they are more suitable to
user namespace.
So we must have the ability to make the netlink sockets
in same user namespace can communicate with each other.
This patch adds a new function pointer "compare" for
netlink_table, we can decide if the netlink sockets can
communicate with each other through this netlink_table
self-defined compare function.
The behavior isn't changed if we don't provide the compare
function for netlink_table.

commit 525cebedb32a87fa48584 (pktgen: Fix position of ip and udp header)
using skb_tail_offset() seems not correct since the offset
is based on head pointer.
With the last caller removed, skb_tail_offset() can be killed

This method can be used by low latency applications to busy-poll
Ethernet device queues directly from the socket code.
sysctl_net_ll_poll controls how many microseconds to poll.

Roman Gushchin discovered that udp4_lib_lookup2() was not reloading
first item in the rcu protected list, in case the loop was restarted.
This produced soft lockups as in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/16/37
rcu_dereference(X)/ACCESS_ONCE(X) seem to not work as intended if X is
ptr->field :
In some cases, gcc caches the value or ptr->field in a register.
Use a barrier() to disallow such caching, as documented in
Documentation/atomic_ops.txt line 114

The following warning was seen on 3.9 when a corrected PCIe error was being
handled by the AER subsystem.
WARNING: at .../drivers/pci/search.c:214 pci_get_dev_by_id+0x8a/0x90()
This occurred because a call to pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() was added to
cper_print_pcie() to setup for the call to cper_print_aer(). The warning
showed up because cper_print_pcie() is called in an interrupt context and
pci_get* functions are not supposed to be called in that context.
The solution is to move the cper_print_aer() call out of the interrupt
context and into aer_recover_work_func() to avoid any warnings when calling
pci_get* functions.

This corrects an regression introduced by "net: Use 16bits for *_headers
fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In
that case skb->tail will be a pointer however skb->network_header is now
an offset.
This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as
an offset regardless of the value of NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET. It seems
that skb->tail that this offset may be more than 64k and some care has been
taken to treat such cases as an error.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.
The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.
SKB Usage:
When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:
* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.
* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.
* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.
I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.
Features:
I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.
This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.
A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.
Alternate Implementation:
One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().
I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.
MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

In order to mitigate ongoing incresase in the size of struct skbuff
use 16 bit integer offsets rather than pointers for inner_*_headers.
This appears to reduce the size of struct skbuff from 0xd0 to 0xc0
bytes on x86_64 with the following all unset.
CONFIG_XFRM
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MODULE
NET_SKBUFF_NF_DEFRAG_NEEDED
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER
CONFIG_NET_SCHED
CONFIG_IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE
CONFIG_NET_DMA
CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK

libphy currently always reports a PHY as an external transceiver from
the ethtool output. This is inaccurate, because some drivers should be
able to tell that a PHY device is an internal transceiver of an Ethernet
MAC. Add a new flag (PHY_IS_INTERNAL) which can be set by PHY drivers
just like other flags, and a corresponding helper: phy_is_internal()
which can be used by networking drivers to query if a given
PHY device is internal.

Now when upper device is changed, event is not propagated via RT Netlink
to userspace. Userspace might never now about the change. Fix this by
adding upper-device-change notifier event.
