ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload
This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network. A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.
This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload. When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available. As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.
Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.

r8169: fix rx checksum offload
While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx
path.
All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums.
The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the
copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and
preventing my GRO patch to work.
Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy.
Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied...

The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while

This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.
Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.
An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

rt2x00: Cleanup rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx
rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx performs the same task
as rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue, with the only difference
is that it waits for all entries to be returned to
the driver and for all frames the status has been
reported to mac80211.
We can easily split this task by calling rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue,
sleep for a short period and invoke the TX status reporting
function. By adding the sleep() to the kill_entry we make sure
that even during shutdown we guarentee the entry has been killed when
the function returns. To make this work correctly the interrupt
handlers have to be updated to prevent checking for the RADIO_ENABLED
flag too early which prevents the ownership of the entry to be reset.
Additionally a check for the DEVICE_PRESENT flag is not required but
is nice to prevent race conditions when the device was unplugged.
Additionally rather then calling rt2x00usb_work_txdone() for
status reporting we let the driver perform the TX status reporting
first. If this is not sufficient then rt2x00usb_work_txdone() will
still be used to cleanup the mess.

rt2x00: Split watchdog check into a DMA and STATUS timeout
The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)

TCP: update initial windows according to RFC 5681
This updates the use of larger initial windows, as originally specified in
RFC 3390, to use the newer IW values specified in RFC 5681, section 3.1.
The changes made in RFC 5681 are:
a) the setting now is more clearly specified in units of segments (as the
comments by John Heffner emphasized, this was not very clear in RFC 3390);
b) for connections with 1095 < SMSS <= 2190 there is now a change:
- RFC 3390 says that IW <= 4380,
- RFC 5681 says that IW = 3 * SMSS <= 6570.
Since RFC 3390 is older and "only" proposed standard, whereas the newer RFC 5681
is already draft standard, it seems preferable to use the newer IW variant.

dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallback
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time
RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value.
The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the
order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the
sending rate.
This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in
RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value,
it allows to adapt to network conditions.
The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by
> ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0
(assuming HZ=1000).

dccp ccid-2: Share TCP's minimum RTO code
Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2
over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It
helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link.
Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from
commit "
05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a"
"[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics."
available to DCCP.
This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the
expected way now also for CCID-2:
> ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0
Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h,
which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.
Documentation also updated (plus minor whitespace fixes).
