c15d20c1d1 iwlwifi: set sm_ps_mode as part of cfg parameters
Setting "Spatial multiplexing Power Save" as part of
per device configuration parameter.

Report to uCode based on priv->conf setting, so driver can
have more control of how different devices should operate
in power save mode.

d5f4cf71f7 iwlwifi: control led while update tx/rx bytes counts
LED blinking rate is based on tx/rx traffic, the most reasonable place
to do it is after update the traffic byte counts

This fixes the recent LED blinking breakage on 3945 introduced by "iwlwifi:

74ba67edfc iwlagn: Use iwl_write8() for CSR_INT_COALESCING register
CSR_INT_COALESCING previously had only one, but now has two single-byte fields.
With only one single-byte field (lowest order byte) it was okay to write via
iwl_write32(), but now with two, an iwl_write32() to the lower order field
clobbers the other field (odd-address CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG, offset 0x5), and an
iwl_write32() to CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG could clobber the lowest byte of the
next-higher register (CSR_INT, offset 0x8).

Fortunately, no bad side effects have been produced by the iwl_write32()
usage, due to order of execution (low order byte was always written before
higher order byte), and the fact that writing "0" to the low byte of the
next higher register has no effect (only action is when writing "1"s).

Nonetheless, this cleans up the accesses so no bad side effects might occur
in the future, if execution order changes, or more bit fields get added to
CSR_INT_COALESCING.

Add some comments regarding periodic interrupt usage.

07681e211d b43: Rewrite DMA Tx status handling sanity checks
This rewrites the error handling policies in the TX status handler.
It tries to be error-tolerant as in "try hard to not crash the machine".
It won't recover from errors (that are bugs in the firmware or driver),
because that's impossible. However, it will return a more or less useful
error message and bail out. It also tries hard to use rate-limited messages
to not flood the syslog in case of a failure.

When setting the autoclose timeout in jiffies there is a possible
integer overflow if the value in seconds is very large
(e.g. for 2^22 s with HZ=1024). The problem appears even on
64-bit due to the integer promotion rules. The fix is just a cast

d8dd15781d sctp: Fix mis-ordering of user space data when multihoming in use
Recently had a bug reported to me, in which the user was sending
packets with a payload containing a sequence number.  The packets
were getting delivered in order according the chunk TSN values, but
the sequence values in the payload were arriving out of order.  At
first I thought it must be an application error, but we eventually
found it to be a problem on the transmit side in the sctp stack.

The conditions for the error are that multihoming must be in use,
and it helps if each transport has a different pmtu.  The problem
occurs in sctp_outq_flush.  Basically we dequeue packets from the
data queue, and attempt to append them to the orrered packet for a
given transport.  After we append a data chunk we add the trasport
to the end of a list of transports to have their packets sent at
the end of sctp_outq_flush.  The problem occurs when a data chunks
fills up a offered packet on a transport.  The function that does
the appending (sctp_packet_transmit_chunk), will try to call
sctp_packet_transmit on the full packet, and then append the chunk
to a new packet.  This call to sctp_packet_transmit, sends that
packet ahead of the others that may be queued in the transport_list
in sctp_outq_flush.  The result is that frames that were sent in one
order from the user space sending application get re-ordered prior
to tsn assignment in sctp_packet_transmit, resulting in mis-sequencing
of data payloads, even though tsn ordering is correct.

The fix is to change where we assign a tsn.  By doing this earlier,
we are then free to place chunks in packets, whatever way we
see fit and the protocol will make sure to do all the appropriate
re-ordering on receive as is needed.

46d5a80855 sctp: Update max.burst implementation
Current implementation of max.burst ends up limiting new
data during cwnd decay period.  The decay is happening becuase
the connection is idle and we are allowed to fill the congestion
window.  The point of max.burst is to limit micro-bursts in response
to large acks.  This still happens, as max.burst is still applied
to each transmit opportunity.  It will also apply if a very large
send is made (greater then allowed by burst).

245cba7e55 sctp: Remove useless last_time_used variable
The transport last_time_used variable is rather useless.
It was only used when determining if CWND needs to be updated
due to idle transport.  However, idle transport detection was
based on a Heartbeat timer and last_time_used was not incremented
when sending Heartbeats.  As a result the check for cwnd reduction
was always true.  We can get rid of the variable and just base
our cwnd manipulation on the HB timer (like the code comment sais).
We also have to call into the cwnd manipulation function regardless
of whether HBs are enabled or not.  That way we will detect idle
transports if the user has disabled Heartbeats.

e7b909a68c be2net: support configuration of 64 multicast addresses instead of 32
To send upto 64 addresses in the multicast-set cmd, the non-embeeded cmd format
that provides for a bigger buffer is used instead of an embedded format.

Also collapsed some multiple tabs to single space.

593f63b0be pktgen: Fix device name compares
Commit e6fce5b916 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax
the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@'
tag to device names.

Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name.
This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread

 pgset "add_device eth0@0"

one session later :

 pgset "add_device eth0@0"

(This doesnt find previous device)

This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers
this warning :

Solution to this problem is to use a odevname field (includes @ tag and suffix),
instead of using netdevice name.

5d09e534bb netxen : fix BOND_MODE_TLB/ALB mode.
o Along with netdev->perm_addr, mac address will be
  maintained in device private structure.

o Device limitation: We need to set mac address when ever
  interface comes up.

In ALB/TAL mode, bonding driver calls set_mac for all slave with bond mac address.
But bonding driver set netdev->dev_addr field to its original value,
after enslaving interfaces.

When ever active slave changes, it swap dev_addr of inactive slave with active.
Yet it doesn't notify driver about change in netdev->dev_addr.

As netxen driver need to set mac addr when ever interface comes up,
it can't rely on netdev->dev_addr field. Specially in case of bonding mode ALB/TLB.
