The initial rate for STA's using rc80211_simple is set to the last
rate in the rate table. For situations for which the signal is weak,
the rate may be too high for authentication and association. Although
the rc80211_simple module will adjust the speed, the response may not
be fast enough for a successful connection. This modification sets the
initial rate to the lowest supported value.

This patch adds a new UDP_ENCAP_L2TPINUDP encapsulation type for UDP
sockets. When a UDP socket's encap_type is UDP_ENCAP_L2TPINUDP, the
skb is delivered to a function pointed to by the udp_sock's
encap_rcv funcptr. If the skb isn't wanted by L2TP, it returns >0, which
causes it to be passed through to UDP.
Include padding to put the new encap_rcv field on a 4-byte boundary.
Previously, the only user of UDP encap sockets was ESP, so when
CONFIG_XFRM was not defined, some of the encap code was compiled
out. This patch changes that. As a result, udp_encap_rcv() will
now do a little more work when CONFIG_XFRM is not defined.

This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6".
Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically
when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6:
alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6
alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6
Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however,
it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec
or IPv6 with and without the patch.
We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt
separately for future work.
Loadable features:
* MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back)
* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for RO
These are NOT covered as loadable:
* Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection
* XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option)
* XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header
* MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application
opens it (since raw socket allows to do so)
* RH2 sending as ancillary data
* RH2 operation with setsockopt(2)

Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert
attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a
backwards compatible way.
The attribute looks like this:
struct {
[ compat contents ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = total size,
.rta_type = type,
} rta;
struct old_structure struct;
[ nested top-level attribute ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = nest size,
.rta_type = type,
} nest_attr;
[ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = private attribute len,
.rta_type = private attribute typ,
} nested_attr;
struct nested_data data;
};
Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are
larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and
ignore the rest.

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.
The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.
I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.
Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and
without NAT:
- sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s
- sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s
- sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%)
- sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s
- sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s
- sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%)
- sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change)
- sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s
- sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s
- sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%)

Changes :
- netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as
it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb
is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is
sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get
stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case).
- BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1
meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop
when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was
necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since
__qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on
the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more
skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With
Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not
required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all
this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure
case), and not to qdisc_qlen.

New changes :
- Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments.
- Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value).
Previous changes :
- Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater.
- "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless
check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only
if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original
code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where
if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written
wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns
LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of
calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb.
Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same
result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead
of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section
since :
a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and
b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code.
- Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is
the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to
dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to
dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only
one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also
results in getting rid of two macros, etc.
- Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related
to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding
style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg
prio2list.

ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet currently returns 0 when the time difference between
current time and t_nom is less than 1000 microseconds.
In this case the packet is sent immediately; but, unlike other packets that can
be emitted on first attempt, it will not have its window counter updated and
its options set as required. This is a bug.
Fix: Require the time difference to be at least 1000 microseconds. The
algorithm then converges: time differences > 1000 microseconds trigger the
timer in dccp_write_xmit; after timer expiry this function is tried again; when
the time difference is less than 1000, the packet will have its options added
and window counter updated as required.

Currently the code for /proc/net/tcp disable BH while iterating
over the entire established hash table. Even though we call
cond_resched_softirq for each entry, we still won't process
softirq's as regularly as we would otherwise do which results
in poor performance when the system is loaded near capacity.
This anomaly comes from the 2.4 code where this was all in a
single function and the local_bh_disable might have made sense
as a small optimisation.
The cost of each local_bh_disable is so small when compared
against the increased latency in keeping it disabled over a
large but mostly empty TCP established hash table that we
should just move it to the individual read_lock/read_unlock
calls as we do in inet_diag.

This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that
it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation
and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the
sending and receiving ends of the connection.
The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows
the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the
event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still
occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will
be updated in time for the following send. Note: The 66060 byte
pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send
routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not
exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.
