Some complex match modules (like xt_hashlimit/xt_recent) want netns
information at constructor and destructor time. We propably can play
games at match destruction time, because netns can be passed in object,
but I think it's cleaner to explicitly pass netns.
Add ->net, make sure it's set from ebtables/iptables/ip6tables code.

I was very frustrated about the fact that I have to recompile the kernel
to change the hash size. So, I created this patch.
If IPVS is built-in you can append ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=?? to kernel
command line, or, if you built IPVS as modules, you can add
options ip_vs conn_tab_bits=??.
To keep everything backward compatible, you still can select the size at
compile time, and that will be used as default.
It has been about a year since this patch was originally posted
and subsequently dropped on the basis of insufficient test data.
Mark Bergsma has provided the following test results which seem
to strongly support the need for larger hash table sizes:
We do however run into the same problem with the default setting (212 =
4096 entries), as most of our LVS balancers handle around a million
connections/SLAB entries at any point in time (around 100-150 kpps
load). With only 4096 hash table entries this implies that each entry
consists of a linked list of 256 connections *on average*.
To provide some statistics, I did an oprofile run on an 2.6.31 kernel,
with both the default 4096 table size, and the same kernel recompiled
with IP_VS_CONN_TAB_BITS set to 18 (218 = 262144 entries). I built a
quick test setup with a part of Wikimedia/Wikipedia's live traffic
mirrored by the switch to the test host.
With the default setting, at ~ 120 kpps packet load we saw a typical %si
CPU usage of around 30-35%, and oprofile reported a hot spot in
ip_vs_conn_in_get:
samples % image name app name
symbol name 1719761 42.3741 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_in_get
302577 7.4554 bnx2 bnx2 /bnx2

74345 1.8318 ip_vs.ko ip_vs.ko ip_vs_conn_out_get
68482 1.6874 vmlinux vmlinux mwait_idle
After loading the recompiled kernel with 218 entries, %si CPU usage
dropped in half to around 12-18%, and oprofile looks much healthier,
with only 7% spent in ip_vs_conn_in_get:
samples % image name app name

wl1271: upload only the first 468 bytes from the NVS file
We were uploading the whole NVS file, but that is wrong, because the same
file also contains the initialization values. For the latest firmwares, we
should upload only the initial 468 bytes from the file.

wl1271: add gpio_power file in debugfs to power the chip on and off
Some debugging tools require the chip to be powered on before they can work.
With these tools, we shouldn't upload the firmware nor boot the firmware
ourselves, so this debufs file is provided. It always contains the gpio
power setting (0 = off, 1 = on). To change the power setting, just write 0
or 1 to the file.

wl1271: use the correct macro when setting the basic rates
We were using CONF_TX_RATE_MASK_ALL when calling wl1271_acx_rate_policies()
during init. We should use WL1271_DEFAULT_BASIC_RATE_SET instead. The
values are the same, but the latter is just the correct macro to use.

wl1271: set null data template when BSSID is known
The call to wl1271_cmd_build_null_data() was missing when we got associated,
this was causing PS to fail. This patch adds the call and now PS seems to
work.

wl1271: limit TX power to 25dBm for every channel
The wl1271 firmware supports maximun 25.5dBm, so the driver was returning
-EINVALID to anything above that. This patch uses the channel max_power
option to limit the TX power to 25dBm.

wl1271: remove workaround for disconnection
Now we're using a the idle information coming from mac80211 to decide when to
disconnect. If we have joined (ie. we're listening to a channel), whenever
the interface goes to idle, we will issue a disconnect command. So the
workaround to send a disconnect command before joining is not needed anymore.

wl1271: use join command with dummy BSSID
When we need to change the channel before association, we have to send a join
command with a valid BSSID. With this patch we use 0baddeadbeef as the
BSSID. There are ongoing discussions with TI to get this done in a cleaner
way.
When we go back to idle, we issue a CMD_DISCONNECT to make sure the firmware
stops listening to the channel and cleans things up internally.

b43: Allow PIO mode to be selected at module load
If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and
still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild
the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and
allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module.
Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed.
Once the DMA problem with the BCM4312 devices is solved, this patch will
likely be reverted.
