77a538d5aa ipv4: fix sysctl documentation of time related values
These sysctl values are time related and all use the same routine
(proc_dointvec_jiffies) that internally converts from seconds to jiffies.
The code is fine, the documentation is just wrong.

f62220d3a9 phylib: Add support for board-level PHY fixups
Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY
requires special handling.  For instance, to change where the PHY's
clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the
data path.  We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY
Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.

b8599d2070 [DCCP]: Support for server holding timewait state
This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.

Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.

The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

e333b3edc4 [DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCID
This patch addresses the following problems:

 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
    enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
    disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
    non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
    Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
    CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.

 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
    (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
    menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
    trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).

 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
    `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:

    * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"

    * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
       general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
       The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"

    Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.

Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.

Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.

8e8c71f1ab [DCCP]: Honour and make use of shutdown option set by user
This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.

This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
 * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
 * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
   as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
   congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
   packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
 * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
   as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).

Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.

There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.

Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown

A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).

Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
      sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean
      `TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).

6f6652be18 bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Originally
 submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
 Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
 documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.

	Glenn's original comment follows:

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information.  This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy.  This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

76181c134f KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous
Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them.  There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.

Note that the construction queue is now gone.  Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it.  This is done automatically for userspace.

The following auxiliary changes are also made:

 (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
     linux/key-type.h.

 (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
     not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.

 (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
     they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
     __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

 (3) Documentation.

7c559a9e44 [DCCP]: Add socket option to query the current MPS
This enables applications to query the current value of the Maximum
Packet Size via a socket option, suggested as a SHOULD in (RFC 4340,
p. 102).

This socket option is useful to avoid the annoying bail-out via
`-EMSGSIZE'.  In particular, as fragmentation is not currently
supported (and its use is partly discouraged in RFC 4340).

With this option, it is possible to size buffers accordingly, e.g.

	int buflen = dccp_get_cur_mps(sockfd);

	/* or */
	if (msgsize > dccp_get_cur_mps(sockfd))
		die("message is too large for this path");

58d4185e36 [MAC80211]: improve radiotap injection
This improves radiotap injection by removing the shortcut over TX handlers
that led to BUGS when injecting frames without setting a rate and also
resulted in various other quirks. Now, TX handlers are run but some
information that was present in the radiotap header is used instead of
automatic settings.

c7e86e344b dgrs: remove from build, config, and maintainer list
Stop building and configuring driver for Digi RightSwitch, which was
never actually sold to anyone, and remove it from MAINTAINERS.

In response to an investigation into the firmware of the "Digi Rightswitch"
driver, Andres Salomon discovered:
>
> Dear Andres:

> After further research, we found that this product was killed in place
> and never reached the market.  We would like to request that this not be
> included.

Since the product never reached market, clearly nobody is using this orphaned
driver.

a94f0f9705 [DCCP]: Rate-limit DCCP-Syncs
This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
 "To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
  impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
  such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."

The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.

Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported.  This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)

In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).

The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.

Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're
               sending a sync.
