4b6f764e14 iwlwifi: fix EEPROM validation mask to include OTP only devices
Fix the bug where some revisions of 6000 series hardware cannot
be used. Later versions of 6000 series have the EEPROM replaced by
OTP. For these devices to be used we need to expand valid EEPROM mask.

c40af84a67 tun: Fix sk_sleep races when attaching/detaching
As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be
detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use
sk_sleep after detaching.

Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when
requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait
queue live there.  There is no reason to have it in tfile at all
since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached.
In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might
as well use it.

9c3fea6ab0 tun: Only free a netdev when all tun descriptors are closed
The commit c70f182940 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.

However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure.  The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.

In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.

This patch solves the original race in a different way.  Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.

This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors.  The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.

Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero.  Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

8caf153974 net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.
Alex Sidorenko reported:

"while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It
seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some
hosts but not on others.

After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp
field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That
is:

- if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected
- if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay"

This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit()
on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on
the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active.

Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host,
tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the
outside.

The fatal error task can be scheduled while processing an offload packet

9499237a1c Bluetooth: Add workaround for wrong HCI event in eSCO setup
The Broadcom chips with 2.1 firmware handle the fallback case to a SCO
link wrongly when setting up eSCO connections.

  < HCI Command: Setup Synchronous Connection (0x01|0x0028) plen 17
      handle 11 voice setting 0x0060
  > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4
      Setup Synchronous Connection (0x01|0x0028) status 0x00 ncmd 1
  > HCI Event: Connect Complete (0x03) plen 11
      status 0x00 handle 1 bdaddr 00:1E:3A:xx:xx:xx type SCO encrypt 0x01

The Link Manager negotiates the fallback to SCO, but then sends out
a Connect Complete event. This is wrong and the Link Manager should
actually send a Synchronous Connection Complete event if the Setup
Synchronous Connection has been used. Only the remote side is allowed
to use Connect Complete to indicate the missing support for eSCO in
the host stack.

This patch adds a workaround for this which clearly should not be
needed, but reality is that broken Broadcom devices are deployed.

Some Bluetooth chips (like the ones from Texas Instruments) don't do

    Error: Unspecified Error

In these cases it is up to the host stack to fallback to a SCO setup
and so retry with SCO parameters.

62bcaa1303 can: Network Drop Monitor: Make use of consume_skb() in af_can.c
Since commit ead2ceb0ec ("Network Drop
Monitor: Adding kfree_skb_clean for non-drops and modifying
end-of-line points for skbs") so called end-of-line points for skb's
should use consume_skb() to free the socket buffer.

In opposite to consume_skb() the function kfree_skb() is intended to
be used for unexpected skb drops e.g. in error conditions that now can
trigger the network drop monitor if enabled.

This patch moves the skb end-of-line point in af_can.c to use
consume_skb().

f72f550c58 macb: process the RX ring regardless of interrupt status
Suppose that we receive lots of frames, start processing them, but
exhaust our budget so that we return before we had a chance to look
at all of them.

Then, when the network layer calls us again, we will only continue
processing the buffers if the REC bit was set in the mean time, which it
might not be if there was a brief pause in the flow of packets. If this
happens, we'll simply display a warning and call netif_rx_complete()
with potentially lots of unprocessed packets in the RX ring...

Fix this by scanning the ring no matter what flags are set in the
interrupt status register.

ee33c58541 macb: Handle Retry Limit Exceeded errors
When transfering large amounts of data we sometimes experienced that the
Retry Limit Exceeded (RLE) bit got set in TSR during transmission
attempts. When this happened the driver would stall in a state that
prevented any more data from being sent.
