The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:
Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.
Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

Another PCMCIA device with Intersil Prism chipset has been reported:
Socket 0:
product info: "Gigabyte", "GN-WLM01_P25L_ADAPTER", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA"
manfid: 0x02e0, 0x1011
function: 6 (network)
As it's the case with some other Prism based devices, the third ID
string contains a design name that should be sufficient to identify the
card as having Intersil Prism chipset and thus compatible with both
orinoco_cs and hostap_cs.
Introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID3 that matches the third ID string only.
Use it in orinoco_cs and hostap_cs to match cards with the third ID
string indicating Prism chipset. Remove corresponding entries that use
PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID123.

The HT extension channel settings require priv->staging_rxon.channel to be
accurate. However, iwl_set_rxon_ht was being called before iwl_set_rxon_channel
and thus HT40 could be broken unless another call to iwl_mac_config came in.
This problem was recently introduced by "iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht
configuration"
The particular setting in which I noticed this was monitor mode:
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40-
#./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40-
tcpdump -i wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO
would only catch HT40 packets if I issued the IW command twice.
From visual inspection, iwl_set_rxon_channel does not depend on
iwl_set_rxon_ht, so simply swapping them should be safe and fixes this problem.

When an ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message is received with a MTU below 1280,
all further packets include a fragment header.
Unlike regular defragmentation, conntrack also needs to "reassemble"
those fragments in order to obtain a packet without the fragment
header for connection tracking. Currently nf_conntrack_reasm checks
whether a fragment has either IP6_MF set or an offset != 0, which
makes it ignore those fragments.
Remove the invalid check and make reassembly handle fragment queues
containing only a single fragment.

This patch fixes a bug that triggers an assertion if you create
a conntrack entry with a helper and netfilter debugging is enabled.
Basically, we hit the assertion because the confirmation flag is
set before the conntrack extensions are added. To fix this, we
move the extension addition before the aforementioned flag is
set.
This patch also removes the possibility of setting a helper for
existing conntracks. This operation would also trigger the
assertion since we are not allowed to add new extensions for
existing conntracks. We know noone that could benefit from
this operation sanely.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet for initial posting a preliminary patch
to address this issue.

TCP if the stream is identified as thin. This will reduce

This reworks the change done by the previous patch
in a more complete way.
The original macvtap code has a number of problems
resulting from the use of RCU for protecting the
access to struct macvtap_queue from open files.
This includes
- need for GFP_ATOMIC allocations for skbs
- potential deadlocks when copy_*_user sleeps
- inability to work with vhost-net
Changing the lifetime of macvtap_queue to always
depend on the open file solves all these. The
RCU reference simply moves one step down to
the reference on the macvlan_dev, which we
only need for nonblocking operations.
