I would argue that mac80211 should handle fixed rates outside the rate
control code, which would also allow them to take effect immediately

mac80211: better rate control algorithm selection
This patch changes mac80211's Kconfig/Makefile to:
* select between the PID and the SIMPLE rate control
algorithm as default
* always allow tri-state for the rate control algorithms,
building those that are selected 'y' into the mac80211
module (if that is a module, otherwise all into the kernel)
* force the default rate control algorithm to be built into
mac80211
It also makes both rate control algorithms proper modules again
with MODULE_LICENSE etc.
Only if EMBEDDED is the user allowed to select "NONE" as default
which will cause no algorithm to be selected, this will work
only when the driver brings one itself (e.g. iwlwifi drivers).

The rx handlers can modify the skb and the frame control field (see

copy of the skb each should get its own copy of rx.fc too.
In my case the wlan0-interface did not remove the qos-control from the frame

the frame on the master interface. Therefore somehow corrupted frames were

static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values);

}
static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter *self, int cpu)

[TCP]: Force TSO splits to MSS boundaries
If snd_wnd - snd_nxt wasn't multiple of MSS, skb was split on
odd boundary by the callers of tcp_window_allows.
We try really hard to avoid unnecessary modulos. Therefore the
old caller side check "if (skb->len < limit)" was too wide as
well because limit is not bound in any way to skb->len and can
cause spurious testing for trimming in the middle of the queue
while we only wanted that to happen at the tail of the queue.
A simple additional caller side check for tcp_write_queue_tail
would likely have resulted 2 x modulos because the limit would
have to be first calculated from window, however, doing that
unnecessary modulo is not mandatory. After a minor change to
the algorithm, simply determine first if the modulo is needed
at all and at that point immediately decide also from which
value it should be calculated from.

[NETNS]: Modify the neighbour table code so it handles multiple network namespaces
I'm actually surprised at how much was involved. At first glance it
appears that the neighbour table data structures are already split by
network device so all that should be needed is to modify the user
interface commands to filter the set of neighbours by the network
namespace of their devices.
However a couple things turned up while I was reading through the
code. The proxy neighbour table allows entries with no network
device, and the neighbour parms are per network device (except for the
defaults) so they now need a per network namespace default.
So I updated the two structures (which surprised me) with their very
own network namespace parameter. Updated the relevant lookup and
destroy routines with a network namespace parameter and modified the
code that interacts with users to filter out neighbour table entries
for devices of other namespaces.
I'm a little concerned that we can modify and display the global table
configuration and from all network namespaces. But this appears good
enough for now.
I keep thinking modifying the neighbour table to have per network
namespace instances of each table type would should be cleaner. The
hash table is already dynamically sized so there are it is not a
limiter. The default parameter would be straight forward to take care
of. However when I look at the how the network table is built and
used I still find some assumptions that there is only a single
neighbour table for each type of table in the kernel. The netlink
operations, neigh_seq_start, the non-core network users that call
neigh_lookup. So while it might be doable it would require more
refactoring than my current approach of just doing a little extra
filtering in the code.

[XFRM]: Drop packets when replay counter would overflow
According to RFC4303, section 3.3.3 we need to drop outgoing packets which
cause the replay counter to overflow:
3.3.3. Sequence Number Generation
The sender's counter is initialized to 0 when an SA is established.
The sender increments the sequence number (or ESN) counter for this
SA and inserts the low-order 32 bits of the value into the Sequence
Number field. Thus, the first packet sent using a given SA will
contain a sequence number of 1.
If anti-replay is enabled (the default), the sender checks to ensure
that the counter has not cycled before inserting the new value in the
Sequence Number field. In other words, the sender MUST NOT send a
packet on an SA if doing so would cause the sequence number to cycle.
An attempt to transmit a packet that would result in sequence number
overflow is an auditable event. The audit log entry for this event
SHOULD include the SPI value, current date/time, Source Address,
Destination Address, and (in IPv6) the cleartext Flow ID.

While RFC4304 deals only with ESP most of the changes in this patch apply to
IPsec in general, i.e. both AH and ESP. The one case, integrity check
failure, where ESP specific code had to be modified the same was done to the
AH code for the sake of consistency.

[TCP]: tcp_write_timeout.c cleanup
Before submiting a patch to change a divide to a right shift, I felt
necessary to create a helper function tcp_mtu_probing() to reduce length of
lines exceeding 100 chars in tcp_write_timeout().

mac80211: move tx crypto decision
This patch moves the decision making about whether a frame is encrypted
with a certain algorithm up into the TX handlers rather than having it
in the crypto algorithm implementation.
This fixes a problem with the radiotap injection code where injecting
a non-data packet and requesting encryption could end up asking the
driver to encrypt a packet without giving it a key.

cfg80211/nl80211: implement station attribute retrieval
After a station is added to the kernel's structures, userspace
has to be able to retrieve statistics about that station, especially
whether the station was idle and how much bytes were transferred
to and from it. This adds the necessary code to nl80211.
