For Renesas USB 3.0 host controller, when unplugging the usb hub which
has the RTL8153 plugged, the driver would get -EPROTO for interrupt
transfer. There is high probability to get the information of "HC died;
cleaning up", if the driver continues to submit the interrupt transfer
before the disconnect() is called.

IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no
fragmentation ID in the fixed header. UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to
be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio
net protocol.
Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new
ID, but this was a bug. Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet
passed through a tap, which is even worse.
Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6
features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we
have a proper solution.
We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so
keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do
this.

Incoming packet is dropped silently by sk_filter(), if the skb was
allocated from pfmemalloc reserves and the corresponding socket is
not marked with the SOCK_MEMALLOC flag.
Igb driver allocates pages for DMA with __skb_alloc_page(), which
calls alloc_pages_node() with the __GFP_MEMALLOC flag. So, in case
of OOM condition, igb can get pages with pfmemalloc flag set.
If an incoming packet hits the pfmemalloc page and is large enough
(small packets are copying into the memory, allocated with
netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(), so they are not affected), it will be
dropped.
This behavior is ok under high memory pressure, but the problem is
that the igb driver reuses these mapped pages. So, packets are still
dropping even if all memory issues are gone and there is a plenty
of free memory.
In my case, some TCP sessions hang on a small percentage (< 0.1%)
of machines days after OOMs.
Fix this by avoiding reuse of such pages.

bcm_sysport_resume() was missing an UniMAC reset which can lead to
various receive FIFO corruptions coming out of a suspend cycle. If the
RX FIFO is stuck, it will deliver corrupted/duplicate packets towards
the host CPU interface.
This could be reproduced on crowded network and when Wake-on-LAN is
enabled for this particular interface because the switch still forwards
packets towards the host CPU interface (SYSTEMPORT), and we had to leave
the UniMAC RX enable bit on to allow matching MagicPackets.
Once we re-enter the resume function, there is a small window during
which the UniMAC receive is still enabled, and we start queueing
packets, but the RDMA and RBUF engines are not ready, which leads to
having packets stuck in the UniMAC RX FIFO, ultimately delivered towards
the host CPU as corrupted.

If a frontend not receiving packets it is useful to detect this and
turn off the carrier so packets are dropped early instead of being
queued and drained when they expire.
A to-guest queue is stalled if it doesn't have enough free slots for a
an extended period of time (default 60 s).
If at least one queue is stalled, the carrier is turned off (in the
expectation that the other queues will soon stall as well). The
carrier is only turned on once all queues are ready.
When the frontend connects, all the queues start in the stalled state
and only become ready once the frontend queues enough Rx requests.

Netback needs to discard old to-guest skb's (guest Rx queue drain) and
it needs detect guest Rx stalls (to disable the carrier so packets are
discarded earlier), but the current implementation is very broken.
1. The check in hard_start_xmit of the slot availability did not
consider the number of packets that were already in the guest Rx
queue. This could allow the queue to grow without bound.
The guest stops consuming packets and the ring was allowed to fill
leaving S slot free. Netback queues a packet requiring more than S
slots (ensuring that the ring stays with S slots free). Netback
queue indefinately packets provided that then require S or fewer
slots.
2. The Rx stall detection is not triggered in this case since the
(host) Tx queue is not stopped.
3. If the Tx queue is stopped and a guest Rx interrupt occurs, netback
will consider this an Rx purge event which may result in it taking
the carrier down unnecessarily. It also considers a queue with
only 1 slot free as unstalled (even though the next packet might
not fit in this).
The internal guest Rx queue is limited by a byte length (to 512 Kib,
enough for half the ring). The (host) Tx queue is stopped and started
based on this limit. This sets an upper bound on the amount of memory
used by packets on the internal queue.
This allows the estimatation of the number of slots for an skb to be
removed (it wasn't a very good estimate anyway). Instead, the guest
Rx thread just waits for enough free slots for a maximum sized packet.
skbs queued on the internal queue have an 'expires' time (set to the
current time plus the drain timeout). The guest Rx thread will detect
when the skb at the head of the queue has expired and discard expired
skbs. This sets a clear upper bound on the length of time an skb can
be queued for. For a guest being destroyed the maximum time needed to
wait for all the packets it sent to be dropped is still the drain
timeout (10 s) since it will not be sending new packets.
Rx stall detection is reintroduced in a later commit.

When mac80211 wants to ensure that a frame is sent, it calls
the flush() callback. Until now, iwldvm implemented this by
waiting that all the frames are sent (ACKed or timeout).
In case of weak signal, this can take a significant amount
of time, delaying the next connection (in case of roaming).
Many users have reported that the flush would take too long
leading to the following error messages to be printed:
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: fail to flush all tx fifo queues Q 2
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Current SW read_ptr 161 write_ptr 201

[snip]
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Q 0 is active and mapped to fifo 3 ra_tid 0x0000 [9,9]
[snip]
Instead of waiting for these packets, simply drop them. This
significantly improves the responsiveness of the network.
Note that all the queues are flushed, but the VO one. This
is not typically used by the applications and it likely
contains management frames that are useful for connection
or roaming.

But it is duplicated in distributions' trackers.
A simple search in Ubuntu's database led to these bugs:

Don't add the time event to the list. We added it several
times the same time event, which leads to an infinite loop
when walking the list.
Since we (currently) don't support more than one ROC for STA
vif at a time, enforce this and don't add the time event
to any list.
We were also missing the locking of the mutex which led to
a lockdep splat - fix that.

The tx power should be limited from many reasons.
currently, setting the tx power is available by the mvm only for
station interface. Adding the tx power condition to
bss_info_changed_ap_ibss make it available also for AP.

I changed the string but forgot to update the fix also to
MODULE_FIRMWARE().

The LTR is the handshake between the device and the root
complex about the latency allowed when the bus exits power
save. This configuration was missing and this led to high
latency in the link power up. The end user could experience
high latency in the network because of this.

Drivers that do not use the get_btc_status() callback may not define a
dummy routine. The caller needs to check before making the call.

In some cases the limit may be the same as reg->power_limit, but the
actual value that the hardware uses is not up to date. In that case, a
wrong value for current tx power is tracked internally.
Fix this by unconditionally updating it.

rtl92c_set_fw_rsvdpagepkt is used by rtl8192cu and its pci sibling rtl8192ce.
rtl_cmd_send_packet crashes when called inside rtl8192cu because it works on
memory allocated only by rtl8192ce.
Fix the crash by calling a dummy function when used in rtl8192cu.
Comparision with the realtek vendor driver makes me think, something is missing in
the dummy function.
Short test as WPA2 station show good results connected to an 802.11g basestation.
Traffic stops after few MBytes as WPA2 station connected to an 802.11n basestation.

In a previous patch the call to ieee80211_register_hw was moved from the
load firmware callback to the rtl_pci_probe only.
rt8192cu also uses this callback. Currently it doesnt create a wlan%d device.
Fill in the call to ieee80211_register_hw in rtl_usb_probe.
