Jouni Malinen 267a901274 ath9k: Optimize TBTT/DTIM calculation for timers
The previous version used a simple loop to go through all Beacon
frames when determining the next TBTT and DTIM count. This is not too
bad for the case where the setup happens before timesync (i.e., very
small TSF), but this can become very heavy operation if a short Beacon
interval is used and the current TSF is large.

In preparation for a patch to update timer setup based on Beacon
timestamp, optimize this routine to take fixed time regardless of the
actual TSF value.

Bing Zhao d26285f873 libertas: implement function init/shutdown commands for SD8688
SD8688 is a WLAN/Bluetooth combo chip and both functions are supported
in a single firmware image. FUNC_INIT and FUNC_SHUTDOWN commands are
implemented to utilize the multiple function feature.

When SD8688 card is inserted, the firmware image should be downloaded
only once through either WLAN function (Libertas driver) or Bluetooth
function (Bluetooth driver).

This patch adds function init/shutdown for SD8688 WLAN function only.

Bing Zhao b136a1414c libertas: get SD8688 rx length with one CMD52
Usually, the 16-bit rx length is read from scratch pad registers
with two CMD52 transactions:
SD8385: 	IF_SDIO_SCRATCH_OLD (0x80fe/0x80ff)
SD8686/SD8688:	IF_SDIO_SCRATCH     (0x34/0x35)

Alternatively, SD8688 firmware offers an enhanced method for driver
to read an 8-bit rx length (in units) with a single CMD52:
IF_SDIO_RX_UNIT 0x43 is read one time after firmware is ready.
IF_SDIO_RX_LEN  0x42 is read every time when rx interrupt is received.

Jouni Malinen dc8c4585d2 ath9k: Set PM field in frame control when in PS mode
mac80211 does not set PM field for normal data frames, so we need to
update that based on the current PS mode when using PS-Poll
(timeout=0) power save mode.

This allows the AP to remain in sync with our PS state. However, there
is still a potential race condition between PS state changes when
multiple TX queues are used and nullfunc and PS-Poll frames use
different queue. That corner case may need to be handled separately by
changing which queue is used either in ath9k or mac80211.

value will always be the y-coordinate.  In this code we are looping
until we reach a minimum y-coordinate on a line, which in the 0-slope

Max Filippov ff561ac84e p54spi: use firmware/DMA bug workaround that work under hight load in p54spi_rx
Under high load first data word, read after available data size
is sometimes lost in p54spi_rx. It seems to depend on frequency
of interrupts and latency of data read request relatively to
'data available' interrupt. The worst consequence of this bug
is loss of packet transmission acknowledgement, which in turn
causes overflow of tx queues and permanent link loss.

Read data size and first data word in one SPI transaction.
No packets from LMAC should have length less than 1 word,
so this shouldn't interfere with the next read transaction.

Also call p54spi_sleep if p54spi_wake succeeded.

Jouni Malinen cc65965cbb ath9k: Fix PS mode operation to receive buffered broadcast/multicast frames
The previous implementation was moving back to NETWORK SLEEP state
immediately after receiving a Beacon frame. This means that we are
unlikely to receive all the buffered broadcast/multicast frames that
would be sent after DTIM Beacon frames. Fix this by parsing the Beacon
frame and remaining awake, if needed, to receive the buffered
broadcast/multicast frames. The last buffered frame will trigger the
move back into NETWORK SLEEP state.

If the last broadcast/multicast frame is not received properly (or if
the AP fails to send it), the next Beacon frame will work as a backup
trigger for returning into NETWORK SLEEP.

A new debug type, PS (debug=0x800 module parameter), is added to make
it easier to debug potential power save issues in the
future. Currently, this is only used for the Beacon frame and buffered
broadcast/multicast receiving.

Luis R. Rodriguez 038659e7c6 cfg80211: Process regulatory max bandwidth checks for HT40
We are not correctly listening to the regulatory max bandwidth
settings. To actually make use of it we need to redesign things
a bit. This patch does the work for that. We do this to so we
can obey to regulatory rules accordingly for use of HT40.

We end up dealing with HT40 by having two passes for each channel.

The first check will see if a 20 MHz channel fits into the channel's
center freq on a given frequency range. We check for a 20 MHz
banwidth channel as that is the maximum an individual channel
will use, at least for now. The first pass will go ahead and
check if the regulatory rule for that given center of frequency
allows 40 MHz bandwidths and we use this to determine whether
or not the channel supports HT40 or not. So to support HT40 you'll
need at a regulatory rule that allows you to use 40 MHz channels
but you're channel must also be enabled and support 20 MHz by itself.

The second pass is done after we do the regulatory checks over
an device's supported channel list. On each channel we'll check
if the control channel and the extension both:

 o exist
 o are enabled
 o regulatory allows 40 MHz bandwidth on its frequency range

This work allows allows us to idependently check for HT40- and
HT40+.

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr aa5aec8885 ixgbe: Add semaphore access for PHY initialization for 82599
The SFP+ NIC (device id 0x10fb) needs a semaphore to serialize
PHY access, so our PHY init code must honor that same semaphore.

françois romieu 3577aa1bd7 r8169: allow true forced mode setting
Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability
of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the
current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting
the advertised modes.

With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode
settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102.

Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute. The RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03
tweak was extracted from Realtek's r8169 v6.010.00 driver.

Eric Dumazet 8b2d850db2 ppp: unset IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE in ppp_setup()
Jarek pointed pppoe can call back dev_queue_xmit(), and might need
skb->dst, so its safer to unset IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE on ppp devices.

Eric Dumazet 93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr
