Since my commit 3713b4e364 ("nl80211: allow splitting wiphy
information in dumps"), nl80211_dump_wiphy() uses the global
nl80211_fam.attrbuf for parsing the incoming data. This wouldn't
be a problem if it only did so on the first dump iteration which
is locked against other commands in generic netlink, but due to
space constraints in cb->args (the needed state doesn't fit) I
decided to always parse the original message. That's racy though
since nl80211_fam.attrbuf could be used by some other parsing in
generic netlink concurrently.
For now, fix this by allocating a separate parse buffer (it's a
bit too big for the stack, currently 1448 bytes on 64-bit). For
-next, I'll change the code to parse into the global buffer in
the first round only and then allocate a smaller buffer to keep
the data in cb->args.

vxlan: only migrate dynamic FDB entries
was not correct because it is checking flag about type of FDB
entry, rather than the state (dynamic versus static). The confusion
arises because vxlan is reusing values from bridge, and bridge is
reusing values from neighbour table, and easy to get lost in translation.

The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to
read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following
Oops:
[ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701!
The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without
unregistering it.
This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.

As part of the push to add 802.1ad server provider tagging support to the
kernel the VLAN features flags were renamed. Unfortunately the kernel name
for the VLAN hardware acceleration features that the kernel shows user space
was included in the rename, which broke ethtool (txvlan and rxvlan options
do not work). This patch restores the original names, i.e. the original ABI.
If we wanted to make clear to users that we are refering to CTAGs we can
always change ethtool's short_name and long_name for these features (for
example something along the lines of txvlan -> txvlan-ctag, tx-vlan-offload ->
tx-vlan-ctag-offload).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless into wireless
John W. Linville says:
====================
This will probably be the last batch of wireless fixes intended
for 3.10. Many of these are one- or two-liners, and a couple of
others are mostly relocating existing code to avoid races or to
limit the code to effecting specific hardware, etc.
The mac80211 fixes have a couple of exceptions to the above.
Regarding those, Johannes says:
"Following davem's complaint about my patch, here's a new pull request
w/o the patch he was complaining about, but instead with the const
fix rolled into the fix.
I have a fix for radar detection, one for rate control and a workaround
for broken HT APs which is a regression fix because we didn't rely
on them to be correct before."
Johannes also sends some iwlwifi fixes:
"I picked up Nikolay's patch for the chain noise calibration bug
that seems to have been there forever, a fix from Emmanuel for
setting TX flags on BAR frames and a fix of my own to avoid printing
request_module() errors if the kernel isn't even modular. We also
have our own version of Stanislaw's fix for rate control."
Along with those...
Anderson Lizardo fixes a Bluetooth memory corruption bug when an MTU
value is set to too small of a value.
Arend van Spriel sends a revised brcmsmac bug that fixes a regression
caused by a bad return value in an earlier patch. He also sends a
brcmfmac fix to avoid an oops when loading the driver at boot.
Daniel Drake fixes a race condition in btmrvl that causes hangs on
suspend for OLPC hardware.
Johan Hedberg adds a check to avoid sending a
HCI_Delete_Stored_Link_Key command to devices that don't support them,
avoiding some scary looking log spam.
Stanislaw Gruszka gives us a fix for iwlegacy to be able to use rates
higher than 1Mb/s on older wireless networks. He also sends an rt2x00
fix to reinstate older tx power handling behavior for some devices
that didn't work well with the current code.

This is a very simple driver, based on the original vendor
driver that Qualcomm/Atheros published/submitted previously,
but reworked to make the code saner. However, it also lost
a number of features (TSO/GSO, VLAN acceleration and multi-
queue support) in the process, as well as debugging support
features I didn't have any use for. The only thing I left
is checksum offload.
More features can obviously be added, but this seemed like
a good start for having a driver in mainline at all.
Johannes Stezenbach has verified that the driver works on
AR8161, I have a AR8171 myself. The E2200 device ID I found
on github in somebody's repository.

The current tg3 code assumes the pci_error_handlers to be always called
in sequence. In particular, during ->error_detected(), NAPI is disabled
and the device is shutdown. The device is later reset and NAPI
re-enabled in ->slot_reset() and ->resume().
In EEH, if more than 6 errors are detected in a hour, only
->error_detected() will be called. This will leave the driver in an
inconsistent state as NAPI is disabled but netif_running state is still
true. When the device is later closed, we'll try to disable NAPI again
and it will loop forever.
We fix this by closing the device if we encounter any error conditions
during the normal sequence of the pci_error_handlers.
v2: Remove the changes in tg3_io_resume() based on Benjamin Poirier's
feedback.

====================
This is a rework of the content sent earlier[1], with the following changes:
-drop the Kconfig --> modparam conversion patch; this was
requested to be replaced[2] with a dynamic port quantity resizing.
Ying and Erik were discussing how best to achieve this, and then
vacation schedules got in the way, so implementing that will
come (hopefully) in the next round.
-rework the sk_rcvbuf patch to allow memory resizing via sysctl
as per what Ying and Neil discussed[3]
-add 4 more seemingly straigtforward and relatively small changes
from Ying (the last 4 in the series).
-add cosmetic UAPI comment update patch from Ying.
That said, the largest change is still the one where we make use of
the fact that linux supports kernel threads and do the server like
operations within kernel threads. As Jon says:
We remove the last remnants of the TIPC native API, to make it
possible to simplify locking policy and solve a problem with lost
topology events.
First, we introduce a socket-based alternative to the native API.
Second, we convert the two remaining users of the native API, the
TIPC internal topology server and the configuarion server, to use the
new API.
Third, we remove the remaining code pertaining to the native API.
I have re-tested this collection of commits between 32 and 64 bit x86
machines using the standard tipc test suite, and build tested for ppc.

pfifo_fast is set as default traffic class queueing discipline. This
queue has three so called "bands". Within each band, FIFO rules apply.
However, as long as there are packets waiting in band 0, band 1 won't
be processed.
Now all kind of TIPC type packet priorities are never set, that is,
their priorities are 0, so they are mapped to band 1 of pfifo_fast
qdisc. But, especially during link congestion, if link protocol packet
can be sent out as earlier as possible than other type of packets so
that protocol packet can arrive at peer endpoint in time, the peer
will timely reset its link timeout timer to keep the link alive.
So enhancing the priority of link protocol packets can meet the
specific demand to avoid unnecessary link reset due to a transient
link congestion.

As the new TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can
now convert the TIPC topology server to it. We get two benefits
from doing this:
1) It simplifies the topology server locking policy. In the
original locking policy, we placed one spin lock pointer in the
tipc_subscriber structure to reuse the lock of the subscriber's
server port, controlling access to members of tipc_subscriber
instance. That is, we only used one lock to ensure both
tipc_port and tipc_subscriber members were safely accessed.
Now we introduce another spin lock for tipc_subscriber structure
only protecting themselves, to get a finer granularity locking
policy. Moreover, the change will allow us to make the topology
server code more readable and maintainable.
2) It fixes a bug where sent subscription events may be lost when
the topology port is congested. Using the new service, the
topology server now queues sent events into an outgoing buffer,
and then wakes up a sender process which has been blocked in
workqueue context. The process will keep picking events from the
buffer and send them to their respective subscribers, using the
kernel socket interface, until the buffer is empty. Even if the
socket is congested during transmission there is no risk that
events may be dropped, since the sender process may block when
needed.
Some minor reordering of initialization is done, since we now
have a scenario where the topology server must be started after
socket initialization has taken place, as the former depends
on the latter. And overall, we see a simplification of the
TIPC subscriber code in making this changeover.

TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription
service for topology events, and another providing the
configuration interface. These servers have previously been running
in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly.
Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is
partially built on this API.
As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in
different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required
in order to protect TIPC internal resources.
To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce
a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message
passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration
servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining
to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant
reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete
rework of the locking policy in TIPC.
The new service also solves another problem:
As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily
be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such
cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is
unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound
queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are
inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a
special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server
are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block
if necessary.
Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a
notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we
schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of
receiving the message in process context.
As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes,
subscribed events cannot be dropped any more.
As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but
not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the
conversion changes required in order to use it are significant,
the addition is kept here as a separate commit.

TIPC's implied connect feature, aka piggyback connect, allows
applications to save one syscall and all SYN/SYN-ACK signalling
overhead when setting up a connection. Until now, this has only
been supported for SEQPACKET sockets. Here, we make it possible
to use this feature even with stream sockets.
At the connecting side, the connection is completed when the
first data message arrives from the accepting peer. This means
that we must allow the connecting user to call blocking recv()
before the socket has reached state SS_CONNECTED. So we must must
relax the state machine check at recv_stream(), and allow the
recv() call even if socket is in state SS_CONNECTING.

As per feedback from the netdev community, we change the buffer
overflow protection algorithm in receiving sockets so that it
always respects the nominal upper limit set in sk_rcvbuf.
Instead of scaling up from a small sk_rcvbuf value, which leads to
violation of the configured sk_rcvbuf limit, we now calculate the
weighted per-message limit by scaling down from a much bigger value,
still in the same field, according to the importance priority of the
received message.
To allow for administrative tunability of the socket receive buffer
size, we create a tipc_rmem sysctl variable to allow the user to
configure an even bigger value via sysctl command. It is a size of
three (min/default/max) to be consistent with things like tcp_rmem.
By default, the value initialized in tipc_rmem[1] is equal to the
receive socket size needed by a TIPC_CRITICAL_IMPORTANCE message.
This value is also set as the default value of sk_rcvbuf.

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.
Unexport sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

We can use sched_clock() because we don't care much about accuracy.

When you copy some code, you are supposed to read it. If nothing else,
there's a chance to spot and fix an obvious bug instead of sharing it...
