I'm testing an API that uses IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute.
In the rtnetlink core , the set_link_af() member
of the rtnl_af_ops struct receives the nested attribute
(as I expected), but the validate_link_af() member
receives the parent attribute.
IMO, this patch fixes this.

The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial
checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB
which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a
partial checksum).

However there have been cases of buggy guests which mark a frame as
GSO but do not set csum_blank. If we detect that we a receiving such a
frame (which manifests as ip_summed != PARTIAL && skb_is_gso) then
force the SKB to partial and recalculate the checksum, since we cannot
rely on the peer having done so if they have not set csum_blank.

Add an ethtool stat to track occurances of this event.

This patch fixes a bug that causes TCP RST packets to be generated
on otherwise correctly behaved applications, e.g., no unread data
on close,..., etc. To trigger the bug, at least two conditions must
be met:

1. The FIN flag is set on the last data packet, i.e., it's not on a
separate, FIN only packet.
2. The size of the last data chunk on the receive side matches
exactly with the size of buffer posted by the receiver, and the
receiver closes the socket without any further read attempt.

This bug was first noticed on our netperf based testbed for our IW10
proposal to IETF where a large number of RST packets were observed.
netperf's read side code meets the condition 2 above 100%.

Before the fix, tcp_data_queue() will queue the last skb that meets
condition 1 to sk_receive_queue even though it has fully copied out
(skb_copy_datagram_iovec()) the data. Then if condition 2 is also met,
tcp_recvmsg() often returns all the copied out data successfully
without actually consuming the skb, due to a check
"if ((chunk = len - tp->ucopy.len) != 0) {"
and
"len -= chunk;"
after tcp_prequeue_process() that causes "len" to become 0 and an
early exit from the big while loop.

I don't see any reason not to free the skb whose data have been fully
consumed in tcp_data_queue(), regardless of the FIN flag.  We won't
get there if MSG_PEEK is on. Am I missing some arcane cases related
to urgent data?

Some drivers (e.g. ath9k) do not always disable beacons when they're
supposed to. When an interface is changed using the change_interface op,
the mode specific sdata part is in an undefined state and trying to
get a beacon at this point can produce weird crashes.

To fix this, add a check for ieee80211_sdata_running before using

commit a8b690f9 (tcp: Fix slowness in read /proc/net/tcp)
introduced a bug in handling of SYN_RECV sockets.

st->offset represents number of sockets found since beginning of
listening_hash[st->bucket].

We should not reset st->offset when iterating through
syn_table[st->sbucket], or else if more than ~25 sockets (if
PAGE_SIZE=4096) are in SYN_RECV state, we exit from listening_get_next()
with a too small st->offset

Next time we enter tcp_seek_last_pos(), we are not able to seek past
already found sockets.

Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They
were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow
arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[].

Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust
the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and
size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb:
 ->data_len is not decreased at all.
 ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag.
Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return
-EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall.

In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the
driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using
napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is
reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver
decides to switch from the former to the latter.

Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat:
 - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null
 - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero
 - on machine1:
   echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method  # use skbs
   echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method  # use pages
 - See that nc has quit suddenly.

     and to use a temporary variable.]

Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup
scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems.

It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code,
and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it
more prominently.

When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares
only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in
tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares()
does nothing on UP.

So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled,
but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.
