The IP_UNICAST_IF feature is needed by the Wine project. This patch
implements the feature by setting the outgoing interface in a similar
fashion to that of IP_MULTICAST_IF. A separate option is needed to
handle this feature since the existing options do not provide all of
the characteristics required by IP_UNICAST_IF, a summary is provided
below.
SO_BINDTODEVICE:
* SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative privileges, IP_UNICAST_IF
does not. From reading some old mailing list articles my
understanding is that SO_BINDTODEVICE requires administrative
privileges because it can override the administrator's routing
settings.
* The SO_BINDTODEVICE option restricts both outbound and inbound
traffic, IP_UNICAST_IF only impacts outbound traffic.
IP_PKTINFO:
* Since IP_PKTINFO and IP_UNICAST_IF are independent options,
implementing IP_UNICAST_IF with IP_PKTINFO will likely break some
applications.
* Implementing IP_UNICAST_IF on top of IP_PKTINFO significantly
complicates the Wine codebase and reduces the socket performance
(doing this requires a lot of extra communication between the
"server" and "user" layers).
bind():
* bind() does not work on broadcast packets, IP_UNICAST_IF is
specifically intended to work with broadcast packets.
* Like SO_BINDTODEVICE, bind() restricts both outbound and inbound
traffic.

Shlomo Pongratz reported GRO L2 header check was suited for Ethernet
only, and failed on IB/ipoib traffic.
He provided a patch faking a zeroed header to let GRO aggregates frames.
Roland Dreier, Herbert Xu, and others suggested we change GRO L2 header
check to be more generic, ie not assuming L2 header is 14 bytes, but
taking into account hard_header_len.
__napi_gro_receive() has special handling for the common case (Ethernet)
to avoid a memcmp() call and use an inline optimized function instead.

If you want to use mesh support from mac80211 on a recent
kernel on 2.6.24 you'll run into a name clash when compiling
against include/linux/namei.h, so rename this routine.
/home/mcgrof/tmp/compat-wireless-3.2.5-1/net/mac80211/mesh_pathtbl.c: At top level:
/home/mcgrof/tmp/compat-wireless-3.2.5-1/net/mac80211/mesh_pathtbl.c:342:26: error: conflicting types for ‘path_lookup’
include/linux/namei.h:71:12: note: previous declaration of ‘path_lookup’ was here
Although this could sit as a separate patch in compat-wireless it seems
best to just merge upstream.

The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the
qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving
henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received.
Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged
indefinitely or selectively.
This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential
functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based
fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution
by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to
provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability
project, available as part of Xen.
This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes
to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications.
This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree,
used as dom0 for Xen.
For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/
and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus
Changes in V3:
* Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow
* Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to
use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations.
* Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of
the buffers in the queue.

Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry
that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact
with the publishing node has been lost.
Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before
re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk
that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be
re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed.
But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different
than the old one.

Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not
lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer
big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link
now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node
to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted.
Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st
fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation.
To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt()
function is introduced.

Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.
Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.
The revised algorithms are as follows:
1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However,
the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
target.
2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
(or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.
3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
NACK.)
4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.
5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
"broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

Fixes a pair of problems in broadcast link message reception code
relating to the reclamation of the node lock after consuming an
in-sequence message.
1) Now retests to see if the sending node is still up after reclaiming
the node lock, and bails out if it is non-operational.
2) Now manipulates the node's deferred message queue only after
reclaiming the node lock, rather than using queue head pointer
information that was cached previously.

Corrects a problem in which a link endpoint that activates as the
result of receiving a RESET/STATE sequence of link protocol messages
fails to properly record the broadcast link status information about
the node to which it is now communicating with. (The problem does
not occur with the more common RESET/ACTIVATE sequence of messages.)
The fix ensures that the broadcast link status info is updated after
the RESET message resets the link endpoint, rather than before, thereby
preventing new information from being overwritten by the reset operation.

Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node
if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if
the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the
link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later
fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails
if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation
triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the
arrival of a link activation message.
The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is
theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is
actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated
by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the
latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost.
This change also permits the simplification of several conditional
expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be
set if there are working links to the associated node.

Ensure that sequence number information about incoming broadcast link
messages is initialized only by the activation of the first link to a
given cluster node. Previously, a race condition allowed reset and/or
activation messages for a second link to re-initialize this sequence
number information with obsolete values. This could trigger TIPC to
request the retransmission of previously acknowledged broadcast link
messages from that node, resulting in broadcast link processing becoming
stalled if the node had already released one or more of those messages
and was unable to perform the required retransmission.

Ensures that a link endpoint discards any previously deferred link
protocol message whenever it attempts to send a new one.
Previously, it was possible for a link protocol message that was unsent
due to congestion to be transmitted after newer protocol messages had
been sent. The stale link protocol message might then cause the receiving
link endpoint to malfunction because of its outdated conent.

However, some devices that implement hw scan might not

thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine.

This is the second part of the auth/assoc redesign,
the mac80211 part. This moves the auth/assoc code
out of the work abstraction and into the MLME, so
that we don't flip channels all the time etc.
The only downside is that when we are associated,
we need to drop the association in order to create
a connection to another AP, but for most drivers
this is actually desirable and the ability to do
was never used by any applications. If we want to
implement resource reservation with FT-OTA, we'd
probably best do it with explicit R-O-C in wpa_s.

To track authenticated state seems to have been
a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to
have out of band authentication (FT), tracking
multiple authentications caused more problems
than it ever helped, and the implementation in
mac80211 is too complex.
Remove all this complexity, and let userspace
do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with
that just fine. Association is still tracked of
course, but authentication no longer is. Local
auth state changes are thus no longer of value,
so ignore them completely.
This will also help implement SAE -- asking the
driver to do an authentication is now almost
equivalent to sending an authentication frame,
with the exception of shared key authentication
which is still handled completely.

The dummy STA support was added because I didn't
want to change the driver API at the time. Now
that we have state transitions triggering station
add/remove in the driver, we only call add once a
station reaches ASSOCIATED, so we can remove the

While at it, tighten the RX check and accept only

Instead of maintaining separate sta_add/sta_remove
callsites, implement it in sta_state when the driver
has no sta_state implementation.
The only behavioural change this should cause is in
secure mesh mode: with this the station entries will
only be created after the stations are set to AUTH.
Given which drivers support mesh, this seems to not

(based on Eliad's patch)
Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever
the state of a station changes. The driver is only
notified when the station is actually in the mac80211
hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions.
To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls
with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST
state.
This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in
handling it when a station is inserted, particularly
in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry
