ppp: ppp_mp_explode() redesign
I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels
with different speeds to the same bundle.
Problem Description:
As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly
among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to
make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol
that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for
example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel
of the bundle.
Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have
two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast
link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we
have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the
PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in
two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc,
flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it
will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it
will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two
PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The
resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working
@1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle
working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth).
Problem Solution:
The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode"
function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according
to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial
interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to
the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now
divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set
according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be
sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on
1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same
performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a
bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while
greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels
working at different speeds.

ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification
Windows (XP at least) hosts on boot, with configured static ip, performing
address conflict detection, which is defined in RFC3927.
Here is quote of important information:
"
An ARP announcement is identical to the ARP Probe described above,
except that now the sender and target IP addresses are both set
to the host's newly selected IPv4 address.
"
But it same time this goes wrong with RFC5227.
"
The 'sender IP address' field MUST be set to all zeroes; this is to avoid
polluting ARP caches in other hosts on the same link in the case
where the address turns out to be already in use by another host.
"
When ARP proxy configured, it must not answer to both cases, because
it is address conflict verification in any case. For Windows it is just
causing to detect false "ip conflict". Already there is code for RFC5227, so
just trivially we just check also if source ip == target ip.

Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp
option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0].
It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml )
Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet
without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps
and lose some benefit of RFC1323.
Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let
tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option.

This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it

irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would
then be cleared accidentally.
Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when

we turn off all interrupts now).

structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among
virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The
primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary
(virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure.
Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch.

ath9k: Set BSSID mask based on configured interfaces
Instead of using a hardcoded BSSID mask (mask for own addresses),
iterate through all active interfaces and determine the minimal mask
that covers all local addresses.

ath9k: Cleanup multiple VIF processing
Replace the internal sc_vaps array and index values by using vif
pointer from mac80211. Allow multiple VIPs to be registered. Though,
number of beaconing VIFs is still limited by ATH_BCBUF (currently
1). Multiple virtual STAs support is not yet complete, but at least
the data structures should now be able to handle this.

rt2x00: Export all register stats through debugfs
By exporting the register base, and word size to userspace
through debugfs it will be easier to create scripts which
parse the register information. This makes debugging and
register dumps information easier.
This will break my previous scripts which dumped and parsed
all information, but since this is only for debugging purposes
this change should not be a problem.
Dumpfiles created with the old version can be easily manually
edited to make them compatible with this new approach, which
means there will be no problems comparing dumps from the
different versions either.
Also be more consistent with using tabs to seperate different
fields.
