ath9k: Disable staggered Beacon frame scheduling
It looks like there are some issues in the current ath9k version as
far as staggered Beacon frame scheduling is concerned. This results in
Beacon frame timestamp being off by 25 milliseconds or so which can
cause issues with multicast power save buffering in AP mode. Some
client stations fail to receive multicast frames when there is this
large an offset between TBTT and actual Beacon transmission time.
Since ath9k does not yet support multiple BSSes anyway, the staggered
Beacon frame scheduling is just increasing the number of interrupts at
this point. The easiest fix for the timestamp offset is to disable
staggered Beacon frames for now. We need to redesign beacon.c anyway
when adding multi-BSS support with mac80211 since the existing code

Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current

Preliminary work to make IPv6 multicast forwarding netns-aware.
Declare variable cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace: moves it into
struct netns_ipv6.
This variable counts the number of unresolved cache entries queued in the
list mfc_unres_queue. This list is kept global to all netns as the number
of entries per namespace is limited to 10 (hardcoded in routine
ip6mr_cache_unresolved).
Entries belonging to different namespaces in mfc_unres_queue will be
identified by matching the mfc_net member introduced previously in
struct mfc6_cache.
Keeping this list global to all netns, also allows us to keep a single
timer (ipmr_expire_timer) to handle their expiration.
In some places cache_resolve_queue_len value was tested for arming
or deleting the timer. These tests were equivalent to testing
mfc_unres_queue value instead and are replaced in this patch.
At the moment, cache_resolve_queue_len is only referenced in init_net.

dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctl
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation
(i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per
RFC 4341, 4.).
Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to
crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock /
sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type
if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector)
/* ... */
with
if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL)
/* ... */
The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature
negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection.
Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child),
so that the test is a valid one.
The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature
negotiation has concluded at the
* server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives;
* client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN.
Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been
removed, since
(a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received;
(b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e.
this entry will always be ignored;
(c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only
packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks.
There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I removed this after finding out that:
* the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
* this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
* so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count feature
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
* for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
* for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.
Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).
This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.
At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

2. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable,
so that the application is notified that an error occurred. This is achieved
by a new label 'unable_to_proceed': generating an error code of `Aborted',
setting the socket state to CLOSED, returning with ECOMM in sk_err.
3. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing

---------------------------------------
Implementation experience showed that it is necessary to retransmit Confirm
options. Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier

As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm
options for the Change options received on the DCCP-Response from the server.
Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the
network, the connection aborts due to undefined feature negotiation state.

cause compile error. But before my patch, in function wlan_setup(),
there is a ether_setup(net_device) which already broke kernels which
older than 2.3.38.

tcp: fix tso_should_defer in 64bit
Since jiffies is unsigned long, the types get expanded into
that and after long enough time the difference will therefore
always be > 1 (and that probably happens near boot as well as
iirc the first jiffies wrap is scheduler close after boot to
find out problems related to that early).
This was originally noted by Bill Fink in Dec'07 but nobody
never ended fixing it.

tcp: introduce struct tcp_sacktag_state to reduce arg pressure
There are just too many args to some sacktag functions. This
idea was first proposed by David S. Miller around a year ago,
and the current situation is much worse that what it was back
then.
tcp_sacktag_one can be made a bit simpler by returning the
new sacked (it can be achieved with a single variable though
the previous code "caching" sacked into a local variable and
therefore it is not exactly equal but the results will be the
same).

Using GFP_KERNEL was wrong and produces a 'scheduling while atomic'

in case of memory issues but gaurantee the TX queue will

iwl3945 : Fix a-band association for passive channels
Patch does following things
1) This patch fixes the a-band association for passive channels with new
uCode feature that it allows direct scan on passive channels after
auto-switch from passive to active. This enables sending of direct probes
on passive channels, as long as some traffic is detected on that channel.
This improves the scanning for hidden SSIDs in A-band,which is all
passive channels.
2) This fix will only work with uCode version 15.28.2.8 and above.
Prior versions of uCode would work only if we heard the traffic within
active dwell time, which is much shorter than passive dwell time and
is shorter than typical beacon periods. This patch also provids full
active dwell time even if we hear traffic late in passive dwell.
3) uCode API version is incremented to 2.

iwlwifi: rely on API version read from firmware
This adds the infrastructure to support older firmware APIs.
The API version number is stored as part of the filename, we first try to
load the most recent firmware and progressively try lower versions.
The API version is also read from the firmware self and stored as part
of the iwl_priv structure. Only firmware that is supported by driver will
be loaded. The version number read from firmware is compared
to supported versions in the driver not the API version used as part of
filename.
An example using this new infrastrucure:
if (IWL_UCODE_API(priv->ucode_ver) >= 2) {
Driver interacts with Firmware API version >= 2.
} else {
Driver interacts with Firmware API version 1.
