tipc: cleanup topology server

Not only function names declared in subscr.c are very confused, but
also topology server's locking policy is not designed very well, for
instance, usually leading to panic in some special corner cases.

In this series, we attempt to eliminate the confusion of function names
and simplify topology server's locking policy to solve above mentioned
issues. More importantly, the change will make relevant code easily
understandable and maintainable.

Currently subscriber's lock protects not only subscriber's subscription
list but also all subscriptions linked into the list. However, as all
members of subscription are never changed after they are initialized,
it's unnecessary for subscription to be protected under subscriber's
lock. If the lock is used to only protect subscriber's subscription
list, the adjustment not only makes the locking policy simpler, but
also helps to avoid a deadlock which may happen once creating a
subscription is failed.

At present subscriber's lock is used to protect the subscription list
of subscriber as well as subscriptions linked into the list. While one
or all subscriptions are deleted through iterating the list, the
subscriber's lock must be held. Meanwhile, as deletion of subscription
may happen in subscription timer's handler, the lock must be grabbed
in the function as well. When subscription's timer is terminated with
del_timer_sync() during above iteration, subscriber's lock has to be
temporarily released, otherwise, deadlock may occur. However, the
temporary release may cause the double free of a subscription as the
subscription is not disconnected from the subscription list.

Now if a reference counter is introduced to subscriber, subscription's
timer can be asynchronously stopped with del_timer(). As a result, the
issue is not only able to be fixed, but also relevant code is pretty
readable and understandable.

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

Exporting IGMP/MLD checking from bridge code

The multicast optimizations in batman-adv are yet only usable and
enabled in non-bridged scenarios. To be able to support bridged setups
batman-adv needs to be able to detect IGMP/MLD queriers and reports on
mesh nodes without bridges, too. See the following link for details:

http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multicast-optimizations-listener-reports

To avoid duplicate code between the bridge and batman-adv, the IGMP/MLD
message validation code is moved from the bridge to the IPv4/IPv6 stack.

On the way, some refactoring to increase readability and to iron out
some subtle differences between the IGMP and MLD parsing code is done.

With this patch, the IGMP and MLD message validation functions are moved
from the bridge code to IPv4/IPv6 multicast files. Some small
refactoring was done to enhance readibility and to iron out some
differences in behaviour between the IGMP and MLD parsing code (e.g. the
skb-cloning of MLD messages is now only done if necessary, just like the
IGMP part always did).

Finally, these IGMP and MLD message validation functions are exported so
that not only the bridge can use it but batman-adv later, too.

via-rhine rework

The series applies against davem-next as of
9dd3c797 ("drivers: net: xgene: fix kbuild
warnings").

Patches #1..#4 avoid holes in the receive ring.

Patch #5 is a small leftover cleanup for #1..#4.

Patches #6 and #7 are fairly simple barrier stuff.

Patch #8 closes some SMP transmit races - not that anyone really
complained about these but it's a bit hard to handwave that they
can be safely ignored. Some testing, especially SMP testing of
course, would be welcome.

. Changes since #2:
  - added dma_rmb barrier in vlan related patch 6.
  - s/wmb/dma_wmb/ in (*new*) patch 7 of 8.
  - added explicit SMP barriers in (*new*) patch 8 of 8.

. Changes since #1:
  - turned wmb() into dma_wmb() as suggested by davem and Alexander Duyck
    in patch 1 of 6.
  - forgot to reset rx_head_desc in rhine_reset_rbufs in patch 4 of 6.

net: Eliminate calls to flow_dissector and introduce flow_keys_digest

In this patch set we add skb_get_hash_perturb which gets the skbuff
hash for a packet and perturbs it using a provided key and jhash1.
This function is used in serveral qdiscs and eliminates many calls
to flow_dissector and jhash3 to get a perturbed hash for a packet.

To handle the sch_choke issue (passes flow_keys in skbuff cb) we
add flow_keys_digest which is a digest of a flow constructed
from a flow_keys structure.

This is the second version of these patches I posted a while ago,
and is prerequisite work to increasing the size of the flow_keys
structure and hashing over it (full IPv6 address, flow label, VLAN ID,
etc.).

Version 2:

- Add keyval parameter to __flow_hash_from_keys which allows caller to
  set the initval for jhash
- Perturb always does flow dissection and creates hash based on
  input perturb value which acts as the keyval to __flow_hash_from_keys
- Added a _flow_keys_digest_data which is used in make_flow_keys_digest.
  This fills out the digest by populating individual fields instead
  of copying the whole structure.

Some users of flow keys (well just sch_choke now) need to pass
flow_keys in skbuff cb, and use them for exact comparisons of flows
so that skb->hash is not sufficient. In order to increase size of
the flow_keys structure, we introduce another structure for
the purpose of passing flow keys in skbuff cb. We limit this structure
to sixteen bytes, and we will technically treat this as a digest of
flow_keys struct hence its name flow_keys_digest. In the first
incaranation we just copy the flow_keys structure up to 16 bytes--
this is the same information previously passed in the cb. In the
future, we'll adapt this for larger flow_keys and could use something
like SHA-1 over the whole flow_keys to improve the quality of the
digest.

In setups with a global scope address on an interface, and a lesser

sent using the other interfaces global scope address rather than the
local interface address. RFC 2236 suggests:

     Ignore the Report if you cannot identify the source address of

tcp_sacktag_one() always picks the earliest sequence SACKed for RTT.
This might not make sense for congestion control in cases where:

  1. ACKs are lost, i.e. a SACK following a lost SACK covers both
     new and old segments at the receiver.
  2. The receiver disregards the RFC 5681 recommendation to immediately
     ACK out-of-order segments.

Give congestion control a RTT for the latest segment SACKed, which is the
most accurate RTT estimate, but preserve the conservative RTT for RTO.

Removes the call to skb_mstamp_get() in tcp_sacktag_one().
