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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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.

<title>vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructure</title>

<id>98474236f72e5a8b89c14cd7c74f0bb77a4b1a99</id>
<content type='text'>
This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.

There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic.  The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.

This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.

[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
  originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
  goes to me.

  Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
  the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
  intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
  changes.     - Linus ]

<id>0f8f2aaaab0b0f9c13635cb02e7d19bdaa9aa1bb</id>
<content type='text'>
This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of
lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached
spinlock.

NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless
version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard
spinlocks.  The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but
I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new
interfaces.

[ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal
  version of the original patch by Waiman.  In order to properly credit
  the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the
  end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman.  So
  blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can
  introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually
  opens.     - Linus ]

nsproxy.pid_ns is *not* the task's pid namespace.  The name should clarify
that.

This makes it more obvious that setns on a pid namespace is weird --
it won't change the pid namespace shown in procfs.

Merge networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert Johannes Berg's genetlink locking fix, because it causes
    regressions.

    Johannes and Pravin Shelar are working on fixing things properly.

 2) Do not drop ipv6 ICMP messages without a redirected header option,
    they are legal.  From Duan Jiong.

 3) Missing error return propagation in probing of via-ircc driver.
    From Alexey Khoroshilov.

 4) Do not clear out broadcast/multicast/unicast/WOL bits in r8169 when
    initializing, from Peter Wu.

 5) realtek phy driver programs wrong interrupt status bit, from
    Giuseppe CAVALLARO.

 6) Fix statistics regression in AF_PACKET code, from Willem de Bruijn.

 7) Bridge code uses wrong bitmap length, from Toshiaki Makita.

 8) SFC driver uses wrong indexes to look up MAC filters, from Ben
    Hutchings.

 9) Don't pass stack buffers into usb control operations in hso driver,
    from Daniel Gimpelevich.

10) Multiple ipv6 fragmentation headers in one packet is illegal and
    such packets should be dropped, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

IP sends device configuration (see inet_fill_link_af) as an array
in the netlink information, but the indices in that array are not
exposed to userspace through any current santized header file.

It was available back in 2.6.32 (in /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h)
but was broken by:
  commit 02291680ffba92e5b5865bc0c5e7d1f3056b80ec
  Author: Eric W. Biederman &lt;ebiederm@xmission.com&gt;
  Date:   Sun Feb 14 03:25:51 2010 +0000

    net ipv4: Decouple ipv4 interface parameters from binary sysctl numbers

Eric was solving the sysctl problem but then the indices were re-exposed
by a later addition of devconf support for IPV4

  commit 9f0f7272ac9506f4c8c05cc597b7e376b0b9f3e4
  Author: Thomas Graf &lt;tgraf@infradead.org&gt;
  Date:   Tue Nov 16 04:32:48 2010 +0000

    ipv4: AF_INET link address family

Putting them in /usr/include/linux/ip.h seemed the logical match
for the DEVCONF_ definitions for IPV6 in /usr/include/linux/ip6.h
