Greg Rose c0456c231a ixgbevf: Fix panics in the VF driver
Fix panics in the VF driver that occur when you bring it down after
having already brought the PF down.

Greg Rose a9ee25a2b8 ixgbevf: Take action when the PF notifies the VF it is resetting.
When the VF driver gets a control message from the PF that indicates the
PF is about to reset or go down we schedule the watchdog timer so that
it will detect the PF has gone offline and take appropriate action.

Greg Rose 767081adbd ixgbe: Improve reset coordination between the PF and the VF
Inadequate coordination between the PF driver and the VF driver results
in tx hangs in the VF driver when you perform certain actions that will
lead to a re-init of the PF.  Add feature to notify active VFs when the PF
is about to re-initialize so that the VFs can take appropriate action.

Greg Rose c9205697c7 ixgbe: Allow the VF driver to be loaded before the PF driver
The PF Reset Done bit should not be set in the extended control register
until the PF has actually completed the bring up process.  It is a mis-
interpretation of the purpose of this bit to assume it should be set
when the physical reset of the device is done.  Instead it should be used
to indicate to the VFs when the PF is ready to provide them with required
services.  This is not until after the PF is finished coming up and ready
to process mailbox events.

Greg Rose 1ada1b1b41 ixgbe: Set the correct pool when VLANs are added in SR-IOV mode.
When VFs are allocated (as indicated by adapter->num_vfs is non-zero) then
the PF pool is no longer zero.  Instead it will be the same as the number
of VFs allocated.  When setting the VLVF entry for the PF we need to use
the correct pool otherwise the PF will get VLAN packets from the wire
because the packet will pass VFTA filtering and the PF has the default
pool, but it will not get VLAN packets from the VFs because it has
not set the correct pool bit in the VLVF entry.

Jesse Brandeburg 9926146b15 e1000/e1000e: don't use small hardware rx buffers
When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e)
patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size.  The 1024 byte
descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the
(originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq
"enhance frame fragment detection" fix.

So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu <
1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e.
So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but
is not vulnerable to the original issue reported.  It has been pointed
out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that
don't have the e1000 jumbo routine.  Without the jumbo routines, we
need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old
e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar
fix.  We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths.

There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the
original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so
please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.

Felix Fietkau 4bb29f8c39 mac80211: fix rx data handling for non-data frames on multiple vifs
The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to
avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling.
This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state
to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or
having it assigned where it shouldn't be.
This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action
frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to
rx->sta being NULL.
Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just
before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.

Bob Copeland a951ae2176 ath5k: fix setup for CAB queue
The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination
of flags.  Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever,
using up tx descriptors.

Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered
frames until 80% of the beacon interval has elapsed using the ready
time.  This fixes the following error in AP mode:

   ath5k phy0: no further txbuf available, dropping packet

Add a comment to acknowledge that this isn't the best solution.

Andriy Tkachuk d0dd2de0d0 mac80211: Account HT Control field in Data frame hdrlen according to 802.11n-2009
ieee80211_hdrlen() should account account new HT Control field in 802.11
data frame header introduced by IEEE 802.11n standard.

According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:

   1. It is QoS data frame.
   2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.

The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield
to 0".

Johannes Berg ef15aac607 cfg80211: export multiple MAC addresses in sysfs
If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.

If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
that it will be able to deal with that many different
addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
device should deal addresses within that mask based
on an arbitrary "base address".

To test it all and show how it is used, add support
to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
addresses different from the default.

Yongseok Koh 88f5004430 vmalloc: remove BUG_ON due to racy counting of VM_LAZY_FREE
In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and
then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically.

But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr
is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags.  After counting
the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a
BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative.

The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE,
increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed.  Consequently, BUG_ON
condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr.

It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently.  This
scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE
and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush().

Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the
strict watermark.  Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable.  So,
it could go down to negative value temporarily.

Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper.

A possible BUG_ON message is like the below.
