Ben Cahill 4d6ccbf57f iwl3945: Reset saved POWER_TABLE_CMD in "up"
Power-saving logic will not re-issue a POWER_TABLE_CMD if a new command
matches the prior one.  This can be bad if we re-start the device due to
e.g. uCode error; the new POWER_TABLE_CMD (required to invoke power-saving)
may match the prior POWER_TABLE_CMD issued before the uCode error.

Ensure the POWER_TABLE_CMD is sent to device when uCode is up.

Wey-Yi Guy ef8d5529b0 iwlwifi: update reply_statistics_cmd with 'clear' parameter
When issue REPLY_STATISTICS_CMD to uCode, two possible flag
can be set in the configuration flags

bit 0: Clear statistics
       0: Do not clear Statistics counters
       1: Clear to zero Statistics counters

Allow "clear" parameter to be set from the caller.

Add debugfs file to clear the statistics counters to help monitor and
debug the uCode behavior.

Johannes Berg 8ade008246 mac80211: fix addba timer (again...)
commit 2171abc586
  Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
  Date:   Thu Oct 29 08:34:00 2009 +0100

      mac80211: fix addba timer

left a problem in there, even if the timer was
never started it could be deleted and then added.

Linus pointed out that del_timer_sync() isn't
actually needed if we make the timer able to
deal with no longer being needed when it gets
queued _while_ we're in the locked section that
also deletes it. For that the timer function only
needs to check the HT_ADDBA_RECEIVED_MSK bit as
well as the HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK bit, only if
the former is clear should it do anything.

Mimi Zohar c09c59e6a0 ima: replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS
While running fsstress tests on the NFSv4 mounted ext3 and ext4

Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS in ima_iint_insert() to avoid a

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?

In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

real	0m0.266s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.001s

real	0m0.770s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

real	0m1.022s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :

vlan_dev_stop() ->
	netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
		linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
			dev_hold() ...

And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...

A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.

dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).

After patch :
time ip link del eth3.103 ; time ip link del eth3.104 ; time ip link del eth3.105

real    0m0.024s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

real    0m0.032s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.001s

real    0m0.033s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Octavian Purdila 395264d509 net: introduce NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET
This new event is called once for each unique net namespace in batched
unregister operations (with the argument set to a random device from
that namespace) and once per device in non-batched unregister
operations.

It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the
routing cache.

Eric Dumazet fccaf71011 macvlan: Precise RX stats accounting
With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device.

We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.

One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.

Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per macvlan device.
