      libfcoe: Make fcoe_sysfs optional / fix fnic NULL exception · 9d34876f
      Robert Love authored 
      fnic doesn't use any of the create/destroy/enable/disable interfaces
either from the (legacy) module paramaters or the (new) fcoe_sysfs
interfaces. When fcoe_sysfs was introduced fnic wasn't changed since
it wasn't using the interfaces. libfcoe incorrectly assumed that that
all of its users were using fcoe_sysfs and when adding and deleting
FCFs would assume the existance of a fcoe_ctlr_device. fnic was not
allocating this structure because it doesn't care about the standard
user interfaces (fnic starts on link only). If/When libfcoe tried to use
the fcoe_ctlr_device's lock for the first time a NULL pointer exception
would be triggered.

Since fnic doesn't care about sysfs or user interfaces, the solution
is to drop libfcoe's assumption that all drivers are using fcoe_sysfs.

This patch accomplishes this by changing some of the structure
relationships.

We need a way to determine when a LLD is using fcoe_sysfs or not and
we can do that by checking for the existance of the fcoe_ctlr_device.
Prior to this patch, it was assumed that the fcoe_ctlr structure was
allocated with the fcoe_ctlr_device and immediately followed it in
memory. To reach the fcoe_ctlr_device we would simply go back in memory
from the fcoe_ctlr to get the fcoe_ctlr_device.

Since fnic doesn't allocate the fcoe_ctlr_device, we cannot keep that
assumption. This patch adds a pointer from the fcoe_ctlr to the
fcoe_ctlr_device. For bnx2fc and fcoe we will continue to allocate the
two structures together, but then we'll set the ctlr->cdev pointer
to point at the fcoe_ctlr_device. fnic will not change and will continue
to allocate the fcoe_ctlr itself, and ctlr->cdev will remain NULL.

When libfcoe adds fcoe_fcf's to the fcoe_ctlr it will check if ctlr->cdev
is set and only if so will it continue to interact with fcoe_sysfs.

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending
    attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the
    per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets.  It did fix some
    important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here
    too.  Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6
    output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk
    attached.

    The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out
    how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk
    socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want
    to send to other devices too.  That's really bad behavior.

    Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change.

 2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made
    to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago.  From Eric Dumazet.

 3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne.

 4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the
    skb->sk too early.  Fix from Li Hongjun.

 5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from
    Chris Clark.

 6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain
    alloc_skb() for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner
    mark which needs to see the skb->sk for such frames.  From Phil
    Oester.

 7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz,
    specifically in the handling of virtual functions.

 8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when
    we have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules.  Fix from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa.

 9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg.

10) Fix network namespace handing wrt.  SCM_RIGHTS, from Andy
    Lutomirski.

11) Fix usage of bogus NAPI weight in jme, netxen, and ps3_gelic
    drivers.  From Michal Schmidt.

12) Hopefully a complete and correct fix for the genetlink dump locking
    and module reference counting.  From Pravin B Shelar.

13) sk_busy_loop() must do a cpu_relax(), from Eliezer Tamir.

14) Fix handling of timestamp offset when restoring a snapshotted TCP
    socket.  From Andrew Vagin.
