IPv6: keep permanent addresses on admin down
Permanent IPV6 addresses should not be removed when the link is
set to admin down, only when device is removed.
When link is lost permanent addresses should be marked as tentative
so that when link comes back they are subject to duplicate address
detection (if DAD was enabled for that address).
Other routing systems keep manually configured IPv6 addresses
when link is set down.

net: Micrel KSZ8841/2 PCI Ethernet driver
This is a new network driver for Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chips. The same driver can run both chips at the same time. It supports IPv4 TCP hardware checksumming and so can use scatter/gather transmission.
The KSZ8842 switch has 2 ports. Some users like to take direct control of those ports. So KSZ8842 has a multiple devices mode in which the driver creates another network device so that users can specify which port to send packets. This mode is enabled by passing the "multi_dev=1" parameter to the driver during loading.
The KSZ884X can receive huge frames with size up to 1916 bytes. To use this feature change the network device MTU from 1500 to 1898.
The KSZ884X driver has 3 packet receive processing functions for the normal mode, multiple devices mode, and huge frame mode. Those functions are identical except for more checking for the new features. In normal programming point of view the huge frame version is the one to use because it covers all the cases, but this is done for performance consideration because the target clients for the KSZ884X chips are embedded systems, which unlike desktop PC may not have powerful CPU.

DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.
This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.
Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the

As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash
size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through
/sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only
resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces
will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging
the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it.
Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global
hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a
new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for
now as other namespaces are not handled currently.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachep
nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but
because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong.
If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between
one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent
reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO)
can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be
observed between object freeing and its reuse.
We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP
hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to
its netns).
If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns
conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one
namespace to another one.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix memory corruption with multiple namespaces
As discovered by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the "untracked"
conntrack, which is located in the data section, might be accidentally
freed when a new namespace is instantiated while the untracked conntrack
is attached to a skb because the reference count it re-initialized.
The best fix would be to use a seperate untracked conntrack per
namespace since it includes a namespace pointer. Unfortunately this is
not possible without larger changes since the namespace is not easily
available everywhere we need it. For now move the untracked conntrack
initialization to the init_net setup function to make sure the reference
count is not re-initialized and handle cleanup in the init_net cleanup
function to make sure namespaces can exit properly while the untracked
conntrack is in use in other namespaces.

e1000: Report link status in ethtool when interface is down
With this change ethtool will correctly report link status when
the interface is down. Currently ethtool reports the link as not
detected when the interface is down.

ixgbe: only process one ixgbe_watchdog_task at a time.
Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause
the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag
to be set incorrectly. In the worse case this is causing
the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which
results in an interface that can't be brought up.
Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if
it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
bits are cleared just before calling the work function.
This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work
function to start and meanwhile schedule another task.
This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is
actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended
cable pull or reset tests.

ixgbe: Fix return of invalid txq
a developer had complained of getting lots of warnings:
"eth16 selects TX queue 98, but real number of TX queues is 64"
http://www.mail-archive.com/e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02200.html
As there was no follow up on that bug, I am submitting this
patch assuming that the other return points will not return
invalid txq's, and also that this fixes the bug (not tested).
