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.

The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied
because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors,
but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work.

Original description:
This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We
should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of
1514.

Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived
at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip
I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels.

Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.

It closes a race in phy_stop_machine when reprogramming of phy_timer
(from phy_state_machine) happens between del_timer_sync and cancel_work_sync.

Without this change it could lead to crash if phy_device would be freed after
phy_stop_machine (timer would fire and schedule freed work).

Changing the mac address when a macvlan device is up will leave the
device on the wrong hash chain making it impossible to receive
packets.

There is no checking of the mac address set on the macvlan.  Allowing
a misconfiguration to grab packets from the the underlying device or
another macvlan.

To resolve these problems I update the hash table of macvlans when the
mac address of a macvlan changes, and when updating the hash table
I verify that the new mac address is usable.

The result is well defined and predictable if not perfect handling of
mac vlan mac addresses.

To keep the code clear I have created a set of hash table maintenance
in macvlan so I am not open coding the hash function and the logic
needed to update the hash table all over the place.

RFC5061 states:

        Each adaptation layer that is defined that wishes
        to use this parameter MUST specify an adaptation code point in an
        appropriate RFC defining its use and meaning.

If the user has not set one - assume they don't want to sent the param
with a zero Adaptation Code Point.

Rationale - Currently the IANA defines zero as reserved - and
1 as the only valid value - so we consider zero to be unset - to save
adding a boolean to the socket structure.

Including this parameter unconditionally causes endpoints that do not
understand it to report errors unnecessarily.

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.

then be cleared accidentally.

This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the
mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of
time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure
throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If
bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to
help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while
maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.
