Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its
wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non
SG capable hardware.

After investigation, it turns out TCP uses sk_stream_alloc_skb() and
used as a convention skb_tailroom(skb) to know how many bytes of data
payload could be put in this skb (for non SG capable devices)

Note : these skb used kmalloc-4096 (MTU=1500 + MAX_HEADER +
sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) being above 2048)

Later, mac80211 layer need to add some bytes at the tail of skb
(IEEE80211_ENCRYPT_TAILROOM = 18 bytes) and since no more tailroom is
available has to call pskb_expand_head() and request order-1
allocations.

This patch changes sk_stream_alloc_skb() so that only
sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;max_header bytes of headroom are reserved, and use a new
skb field, avail_size to hold the data payload limit.

This way, order-0 allocations done by TCP stack can leave more than 2 KB
of tailroom and no more allocation is performed in mac80211 layer (or
any layer needing some tailroom)

avail_size is unioned with mark/dropcount, since mark will be set later
in IP stack for output packets. Therefore, skb size is unchanged.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

skb_add_rx_frag() API is misleading.

Network skbs built with this helper can use uncharged kernel memory and
eventually stress/crash machine in OOM.

Add a 'truesize' parameter and then fix drivers in followup patches.

Pull &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
 "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
  &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; file.  Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
  in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e.  the support for BUILD_BUG in
  linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
  kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As a band-aid, kernel.h
  was including &lt;asm/bug.h&gt; to pseudo link them.

  This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.  Here
  is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:

      CC      lib/string.o
      lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
      lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'

      $
      $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
      #include &lt;linux/bug.h&gt;
      $

  We've included &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
  still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
  very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.

  With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:

  1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
     implicit presence of BUG code.
  2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
     relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
  3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to &lt;linux/bug.h&gt;
  4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.

  During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.  But
  to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
  failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
  areas in advance.

and linux-next.

* tag 'bug-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so don't include it.
  bug: consolidate BUILD_BUG_ON with other bug code
  BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h
  bug.h: add include of it to various implicit C users
  lib: fix implicit users of kernel.h for TAINT_WARN
  spinlock: macroize assert_spin_locked to avoid bug.h dependency
  x86: relocate get/set debugreg fcns to include/asm/debugreg.

As suggested by Ben, this adds the clarification on the usage of
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on the outgoing patch. Also add the usage
description of NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
for the kernel FCoE protocol driver.

This is a follow-up to the following:

In particular do this for skb_is_nonlinear(), skb_is_gso(), and
skb_is_gso_v6().

<title>BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h</title>

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

Overlapping changes in drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/rx.c, one to change
the rx_buf-&gt;is_page boolean into a set of u16 flags, and another to
adjust how -&gt;ip_summed is initialized.
