If we receive a BUSY packet for a call we think we've just completed, the
packet is handed off to the connection processor to deal with - but the
connection processor doesn't expect a BUSY packet and so flags a protocol
error.

Fix this by simply ignoring the BUSY packet for the moment.

The symptom of this may appear as a system call failing with EPROTO.  This
may be triggered by pressing ctrl-C under some circumstances.

This comes about we abort calls due to interruption by a signal (which we
shouldn't do, but that's going to be a large fix and mostly in fs/afs/).
What happens is that we abort the call and may also abort follow up calls
too (this needs offloading somehoe).  So we see a transmission of something
like the following sequence of packets:

	DATA for call N
	ABORT call N
	DATA for call N+1
	ABORT call N+1

in very quick succession on the same channel.  However, the peer may have
deferred the processing of the ABORT from the call N to a background thread
and thus sees the DATA message from the call N+1 coming in before it has
cleared the channel.  Thus it sends a BUSY packet[*].

[*] Note that some implementations (OpenAFS, for example) mark the BUSY
    packet with one plus the callNumber of the call prior to call N.
    Ordinarily, this would be call N, but there's no requirement for the
    calls on a channel to be numbered strictly sequentially (the number is
    required to increase).

    This is wrong and means that the callNumber in the BUSY packet should
    be ignored (it really ought to be N+1 since that's what it's in
    response to).

Alive tracking of nexthops can account for a link twice if the carrier

Some Hypervisors detach VFs from VMs by instantly causing an FLR event
to be generated for a VF.

In the mlx4 case, this will cause that VF's comm channel to be disabled
before the VM has an opportunity to invoke the VF device's "shutdown"
method.

For such Hypervisors, there is a race condition between the VF's
shutdown method and its internal-error detection/reset thread.

The internal-error detection/reset thread (which runs every 5 seconds) also
detects a disabled comm channel. If the internal-error detection/reset
flow wins the race, we still get delays (while that flow tries repeatedly
to detect comm-channel recovery).

The cited commit fixed the command timeout problem when the
internal-error detection/reset flow loses the race.

This commit avoids the unneeded delays when the internal-error
detection/reset flow wins.

Newer hardware does not provide a cumulative payload length when multiple
descriptors are needed to handle the data. Once the MTU increases beyond
the size that can be handled by a single descriptor, the SKB does not get
built properly by the driver.

The driver will now calculate the size of the data buffers used by the
hardware.  The first buffer of the first descriptor is for packet headers
or packet headers and data when the headers can't be split. Subsequent
descriptors in a multi-descriptor chain will not use the first buffer. The
second buffer is used by all the descriptors in the chain for payload data.
Based on whether the driver is processing the first, intermediate, or last
descriptor it can calculate the buffer usage and build the SKB properly.

Before iterating over the the LL2 Rx ring, the ring's
spinlock is taken via spin_lock_irqsave().
The actual processing of the packet [including handling
by the protocol driver] is done without said lock,
so qed releases the spinlock and re-claims it afterwards.

Problem is that the final spin_lock_irqrestore() at the end
of the iteration uses the original flags saved from the
initial irqsave() instead of the flags from the most recent
irqsave(). So it's possible that the interrupt status would
be incorrect at the end of the processing.

aszlig observed failing ssh tunnels (-w) during initialization since
commit cc9da6cc ("ipv6: addrconf: use stable address generator for
ARPHRD_NONE"). We already had reports that the mentioned commit breaks
Juniper VPN connections. I can't clearly say that the Juniper VPN client
has the same problem, but it is worth a try to hint to this patch.

Because of the early generation of link local addresses, the kernel now
can start asking for routers on the local subnet much earlier than usual.
Those router solicitation packets arrive inside the ssh channels and
should be transmitted to the tun fd before the configuration scripts
might have upped the interface and made it ready for transmission.

ssh polls on the interface and receives back a POLL_OUT. It tries to send
the earily router solicitation packet to the tun interface.  Unfortunately
it hasn't been up'ed yet by config scripts, thus failing with -EIO. ssh
doesn't retry again and considers the tun interface broken forever.
