mac80211: remove STA entries when taking down interface
When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info
items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a
sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the
STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have
removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading
to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after
the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can
lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif
pointer!
A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it
disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should
that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS
peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for
now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

mac80211: split sta_info_add
sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info
structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting
these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many
places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU
protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now
no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and
sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure.
This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags
and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and
cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in
a follow-up patch.

Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to

table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the

If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely

There is a special case here between the initial network namespace and

* When ipv6 is initialized at boot time (aka in the init_net), it
registers to the notifier callback. So addrconf_notify will be called
as many time as there are network devices setup on the system and the
function will add ipv6 addresses to the network devices. But the first
device which needs to have its ipv6 address setup is the loopback,
unfortunatly this is not the case. So the loopback address is setup
manually in the ipv6 init function.
* With the network namespace, this ordering problem does not appears
because notifier is already setup and active, so as soon as we

[IPCONFIG]: The kernel gets no IP from some DHCP servers
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler:
This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers
(i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents
of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux
kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
'255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system.

[TCP]: Improve ipv4 established hash function.
If all of the entropy is in the local and foreign addresses,
but xor'ing together would cancel out that entropy, the
current hash performs poorly.
Suggested by Cosmin Ratiu:
Basically, the situation is as follows: There is a client
machine and a server machine. Both create 15000 virtual
interfaces, open up a socket for each pair of interfaces and
do SIP traffic. By profiling I noticed that there is a lot of
time spent walking the established hash chains with this
particular setup.
The addresses were distributed like this: client interfaces
were 198.18.0.1/16 with increments of 1 and server interfaces
were 198.18.128.1/16 with increments of 1. As I said, there
were 15000 interfaces. Source and destination ports were 5060
for each connection. So in this case, ports don't matter for
hashing purposes, and the bits from the address pairs used
cancel each other, meaning there are no differences in the
whole lot of pairs, so they all end up in the same hash chain.

When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter
