rfkill: rename the rfkill_state states and add block-locked state
The current naming of rfkill_state causes a lot of confusion: not only the
"kill" in rfkill suggests negative logic, but also the fact that rfkill cannot
turn anything on (it can just force something off or stop forcing something
off) is often forgotten.
Rename RFKILL_STATE_OFF to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state can be changed by a toggle_radio request), and
RFKILL_STATE_ON to RFKILL_STATE_UNBLOCKED (transmitter is not blocked, and may
operate).
Also, add a new third state, RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED (transmitter is blocked
and will not operate; state cannot be changed through a toggle_radio request),
which is used by drivers to indicate a wireless transmiter was blocked by a
hardware rfkill line that accepts no overrides.
Keep the old names as #defines, but document them as deprecated. This way,
drivers can be converted to the new names *and* verified to actually use rfkill
correctly one by one.

Currently, rfkill support for read/write rfkill switches is hacked through
a round-trip over the input layer and rfkill-input to let a driver sync
rfkill->state to hardware changes.
This is buggy and sub-optimal. It causes real problems. It is best to
think of the rfkill class as supporting only write-only switches at the
moment.
In order to implement the read/write functionality properly:
Add a get_state() hook that is called by the class every time it needs to
fetch the current state of the switch. Add a call to this hook every time
the *current* state of the radio plays a role in a decision.
Also add a force_state() method that can be used to forcefully syncronize
the class' idea of the current state of the switch. This allows for a
faster implementation of the read/write functionality, as a driver which
get events on switch changes can avoid the need for a get_state() hook.
If the get_state() hook is left as NULL, current behaviour is maintained,
so this change is fully backwards compatible with the current rfkill
drivers.
For hardware that issues events when the rfkill state changes, leave
get_state() NULL in the rfkill struct, set the initial state properly
before registering with the rfkill class, and use the force_state() method
in the driver to keep the rfkill interface up-to-date.
get_state() can be called by the class from atomic context. It must not
sleep.

rfkill: add parameter to disable radios by default

Add a module parameter that causes all radios to be disabled when their
rfkill interface is registered. The module default is not changed so
unless the parameter is used, radios will still be forced to their enabled
state when they are registered.

rfkill really should have been named rfswitch. As it is, one can get
confused whether RFKILL_STATE_ON means the KILL switch is on (and
therefore, the radio is being *blocked* from operating), or whether it

SACK chunk, since a SACK chunk is, in itself, a response to DATA and
a SACK does not require a response of more DATA.
We implement this by not servicing our outqueue until we reach the end
of the packet. This enables maximum bundling. We also identify
'response' chunks and make sure that we only send 1 packet when sending
such chunks.

netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow
Max of promiscuity and allmulti plus positive @inc can cause overflow.
Fox example: when allmulti=0xFFFFFFFF, any caller give dev_set_allmulti() a
positive @inc will cause allmulti be off.
This is not what we want, though it's rare case.
The fix is that only negative @inc will cause allmulti or promiscuity be off
and when any caller makes the counters touch the roof, we return error.
Change of v2:
Change void function dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti to return int.
So callers can get the overflow error.
Caller's fix will be done later.
Change of v3:
1. Since we return error to caller, we don't need to print KERN_ERROR,
KERN_WARNING is enough.
2. In dev_set_promiscuity(), if __dev_set_promiscuity() failed, we

The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to
muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of
the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption.
This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).
In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a

af_unix: fix 'poll for write'/ connected DGRAM sockets
The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude)
form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the
receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value
stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking
the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning
EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET
sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is
datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable
by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams
owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This
is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the
abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full.
'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but
a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an
(usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request
with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum.
The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll
routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the
recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently
considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket
writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally
put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the
unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a
datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly
as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll
because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever
if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue.
Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named
'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three
different places) into a single location.

ax25: Fix std timer socket destroy handling.
Tihomir Heidelberg - 9a4gl, reports:
--------------------
I would like to direct you attention to one problem existing in ax.25
kernel since 2.4. If listening socket is closed and its SKB queue is
released but those sockets get weird. Those "unAccepted()" sockets
should be destroyed in ax25_std_heartbeat_expiry, but it will not
happen. And there is also a note about that in ax25_std_timer.c:
/* Magic here: If we listen() and a new link dies before it
is accepted() it isn't 'dead' so doesn't get removed. */
This issue cause ax25d to stop accepting new connections and I had to
restarted ax25d approximately each day and my services were unavailable.
Also netstat -n -l shows invalid source and device for those listening
sockets. It is strange why ax25d's listening socket get weird because of
this issue, but definitely when I solved this bug I do not have problems
with ax25d anymore and my ax25d can run for months without problems.
--------------------
Actually as far as I can see, this problem is even in releases
as far back as 2.2.x as well.
It seems senseless to special case this test on TCP_LISTEN state.
Anything still stuck in state 0 has no external references and
we can just simply kill it off directly.

atl1: relax eeprom mac address error check
The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly:
- If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and
validate it.
- If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from
SPI flash.
- If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the
MAC Station Address register.
- If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the
kernel.
We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all
zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle
this as an error condition. Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes
a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we
never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all-
zeros address in EEPROM.
This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC
address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.
