74b793e1ef cxgb3: remove __GFP_NOFAIL usage
Pre-allocate a skb at init time to be used for control messages to the HW
if skb allocation fails.

Tolerate failures to send messages initializing some memories at the cost of
parity error detection for these memories.
Retry sending connection id release messages if both alloc_skb(GFP_ATOMIC)
and alloc_skb(GFP_KERNEL) fail.
Do not bring the interface up if messages binding queue set to port fail to
be sent.

b8facca01b qlge: Allow RX buf rings to be > than 4096 bytes.
RX buffer rings can be comprised of non-contiguous fixed
size chunks of memory. The ring is given to the hardware
as a pointer to a location that stores the location of
the queue.  If the queue is greater than 4096 bytes then
the hardware gets a list of said pointers.
This patch addes the necessary logic to generate the list if
the queue size exceeds 4096.

ef5c89967d drivers/net/macvlan.c: fix cloning of tagged VLAN interfaces
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13348

akpm: the reporter disappeared, so I typed it in again.

It is not possible to make clone of tagged VLAN interface to be used as
mac-based vlan interfave.

How reproducible:
Use any 802.1q tagged vlan interface, e.g. eth2.700 and clone it:

  ip link add link eth2.700 address 00:04:75:cb:38:09 macvlan0 type macvlan
  ip link set dev macvlan0 up
  ip addr add 10.195.1.1/24 dev macvlan0

So far, so good. Now try to ping anything via macvlan0:

  ping 10.195.1.2

Actual results:
For every attempted packet tx kernel writes to console:

720017623a e100: add non-MII PHY support
Restore support for cards with MII-lacking PHYs as compared to removed
pre-2.6.29 eepro100 driver: use full low-level MII I/O access abstraction
by providing clean PHY-specific mdio_ctrl() functions for either standard
MII-compliant cards, slightly special ones or non-MII PHY ones.

We now have another netdev_priv member for mdio_ctrl(), thus we have some
array indirection, but we save some additional opcodes for specific
phy_82552_v handling in the common case.

2f0accc135 cfg80211: fix rfkill locking problem
rfkill currently requires a global lock within the
rfkill_register() function, and holds that lock over
calls to the set_block() methods. This means that we
cannot hold a lock around rfkill_register() that we
also require in set_block(), directly or indirectly.
Fix cfg80211 to register rfkill outside the block
locked by its global lock. Much of what cfg80211 does
in the locked block doesn't need to be locked anyway.

4e751843d4 mac80211: disable PS while probing AP
When associated, but probing the AP because we detected
beacon loss, we need to disable powersave to be able to
receive the probe response. Change the code to do that by

ability at the necessary spots.

43f7853180 mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scan
We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan,
because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames
during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan
and after scan.

This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124277331319024

The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm
figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or
single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc
frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended
up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the
wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with
it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control.

We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes
when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we
should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually
go into PS because it's not associated.

AGGR_ADDBA_PROGRESS should be cleared in aggr state when addba
negotiation is terminated due to either addba response is timed out
or addba is denied by the AP. With out clearing this bit,
all frames are queued onto s/w queue for getting tx'd as aggr and

b3fa1329ea rfkill: remove set_global_sw_state
rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no
longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core.

Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration.  Otherwise, they will be
initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.

We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
registration, since these had no effect in the old model.  If these
drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
to testing :-).  This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.

Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
rfkill-input is enabled.  This is required, otherwise booting with
wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
have no apparent effect.  This special case will be removed in future
along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon
(see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).

Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states
over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

8f77f3849c mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 again
In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed
to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce
the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary
overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and
this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption
is used.

Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue
again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also
fixes a problem where frames for that particular station
could be reordered when some were still on the software
queues and older ones are re-injected into the software
queue after them.

9b9c5aaeed ar9170: xmit code revamp
This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.

In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.

This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it -  this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

dacb6f1d8f mac80211 : fix unaligned rx skb
mac80211 is checking is the skb is aligned on 32 bit boundary.
But it is checking against ethernet header, whereas Linux expect IP
header aligned.  And ethernet ether size is 6*2+2=14, so aligning
ethernet header make IP header unaligned.

b52a033c2c b43: Fix possible unaligned u32 access
Fix possible unaligned u32 access in b43_generate_plcp_hdr().
Unaligned data is read/write with a u32 pointer instead of using the
packed structure. Some versions of gcc ignore the "packed" attribute, if the
structure element is accessed through a local pointer.

5ee58d7e6a mac80211: fix minstrel single-rate memory corruption
The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in
a sampling table.  When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel
correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle
the case where mi->n_rates < 2.  However, mi->sample_idx is actually
defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge
positive number when negative, and the check will always fail.

Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory
corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate.
The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should
have no ill effects.

Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP
that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could
potentially crash.  With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a
steady load.

Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could
reproduce this.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12490 on the
regression list (also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13000).

4d1d49858c net/libertas: remove GPIO-CS handling in SPI interface code
This removes the dependency on GPIO framework and lets the SPI host
driver handle the chip select. The SPI host driver is required to keep
the CS active for the entire message unless cs_change says otherwise.
This patch collects the two/three single SPI transfers into a message.
Also the delay in read path in case use_dummy_writes are not used is
moved into the SPI host driver.

This patch removes the 0-1 dependancy and allows usage of any of the 4

determine our port number based on the comparison of the two functions:
Lower function number gets first port, higher function gets second port.
