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
checking whether we're trying to probe when determining
the possibility of going into PS, and recalculate the PS
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.

This patch along with my previous patch in mac80211 "Fix the
way ADDBA count..", fixes hang in tx when connected to an HT
AP which rejects/times out on addba req.

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
will never be scheduled onto hw queue.

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.

This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.

However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for

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

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).

23a2d1b233 e1000e: Fixes possible phy corrupton on 82571 designs.
Phy corruption has been observed on 2-port 82571 adapters, and is root-caused
to lack of synchronization between the 2 driver instances, which conflict
when attempting to access the phy via the single MDIC register.
A semaphore exists for this purpose, and is now used on these designs. Because
PXE &/or EFI boot code (which we cannot expect to be built with this fix) may
leave the inter-instance semaphore in an invalid initial state when the driver
first loads, this fix also includes a one-time (per driver load) fix-up of the
semaphore initial state.

9ec7671603 net: add IEEE 802.15.4 socket family implementation
Add support for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This implementation
is neither certified nor complete, but aims to that goal. This commit contains
only the socket interface for communication over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
One can either send RAW datagrams or use SOCK_DGRAM to encapsulate data
inside normal IEEE 802.15.4 packets.

Configuration interface, drivers and software MAC 802.15.4 implementation will
follow.

Initial implementation was done by Maxim Gorbachyov, Maxim Osipov and Pavel
Smolensky as a research project at Siemens AG. Later the stack was heavily
reworked to better suit the linux networking model, and is now maitained
as an open project partially sponsored by Siemens.

a4a710c4a7 pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6
Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time
resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per
nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on
rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is
assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up
to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low
rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full
use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using
older iproute2 should be safe too.)

This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code
fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately
eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

728bf09827 pkt_sched: Use PSCHED_SHIFT in PSCHED time conversion
Use PSCHED_SHIFT constant instead of '10' in PSCHED_US2NS() and
PSCHED_NS2US() macros to enable changing this value later.

Additionally use PSCHED_SHIFT in sch_hfsc SM_SHIFT and ISM_SHIFT
definitions. This part of the patch is based on feedback from
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>.

0c27922e49 net: dev_addr_init() fix
commit f001fde5ea
(net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6))
added one regression Vegard Nossum found in its testings.

With kmemcheck help, Vegard found some uninitialized memory
was read and reported to user, potentialy leaking kernel data.
( thread can be found on http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/30/177 )

dev_addr_init() incorrectly uses sizeof() operator. We were
initializing one byte instead of MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes.

ebc8d2ab61 be2net: Remove unnecessary frag list traversing.
This driver does not indicate support for frag lists.

Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag
lists incorrectly.  The idiom is:

	for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next)

but it's doing:

	for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter;
	     iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list)

which would never work.  And this proves that this driver never
saw an SKB with active frag lists.

So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes
much simpler.
