tcp: splice as many packets as possible at once
As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not
optimal. It processes at most one segment per call.
This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate
when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO.
Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.
With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able
to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes
of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return
16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

netfilter 03/09: bridge: Disable PPPOE/VLAN processing by default
The PPPOE/VLAN processing code in the bridge netfilter is broken
by design. The VLAN tag and the PPPOE session ID are an integral
part of the packet flow information, yet they're completely
ignored by the bridge netfilter. This is potentially a security
hole as it treats all VLANs and PPPOE sessions as the same.
What's more, it's actually broken for PPPOE as the bridge netfilter
tries to trim the packets to the IP length without adjusting the
PPPOE header (and adjusting the PPPOE header isn't much better
since the PPPOE peer may require the padding to be present).
Therefore we should disable this by default.
It does mean that people relying on this feature may lose networking
depending on how their bridge netfilter rules are configured.
However, IMHO the problems this code causes are serious enough to
warrant this.

minstrel: fix warning if lowest supported rate index is not 0
This patch fixes the following WARNING (caused by rix_to_ndx): "
>WARNING: at net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel.c:69 minstrel_rate_init+0xd2/0x33a [mac80211]()
>[...]
>Call Trace:
> warn_on_slowpath+0x51/0x75
> _format_mac_addr+0x4c/0x88

> nl80211_new_station+0x1b3/0x20b [cfg80211]
The reason is that I'm experimenting with "g" only mode on a 802.11 b/g card.
Therefore rate_lowest_index returns 4 (= 6Mbit, instead of usual 0 = 1Mbit).
Since mi->r array is initialized with zeros in minstrel_alloc_sta,
rix_to_ndx has a hard time to find the 6Mbit entry and will trigged the WARNING.

ath9k: Fix incorrect sequence numbering for unaggregated QoS Frame.
This patch fixes an issue with the sequence numbers of unaggregated
QoS frames, because of which the frames are handled in a different order
at the AP and resulted in MLME REPLAYFAILURE.

Fix rt2500usb HW crypto: TKIP
rt2500usb doesn't strip the IV/ICV data from received frames,
so we don't need to set the RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED flag.
We do need to set the RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED flag for all
encryption types since the MMIC has been removed from the frame.
After this patch TKIP Hardware crypto works for rt2500usb.
WEP and AES are still failing.

rtl8180: Fix to add STA mode
To be compatible with mac80211 following "mac80211: only create
default STA interface if supported", rtl8180 needs to set
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION in interface_modes.

rt2x00: Fix segementation fault
The queue_end() macro points to 1 position after the
queue, which means that if we want to know if queue
is at the end of the queue we should first increment
the position and then check if it is a valid entry.
This fixes a segmentation fault which only occurs when
the device has enough endpoints to provide a dedicated
endpoint for all TX queues (which likely won't happen
for rt2500usb and rt73usb, but will happen for rt2800usb).

This patch fixes two small flaws:
- restore the original TKIP IV if we altered it.
- reserve & initialize ICV with zeros.
This is actually only necessary for some obsolete p54usb firmwares.
But we don't know yet, if all devices are compatible with the new revisions.

orinoco: take the driver lock in the rx tasklet
Fix the warning reproduced below.
We add to rx_list in interrupt context and remove elements in tasklet
context. While removing elements we need to prevent the interrupt
modifying the list.
Note that "orinoco: Process bulk of receive interrupt in a tasklet" did not
preserve locking semantics on what is now orinoco_rx.
This patch reinstates the locking semantics and ensures it covers
rx_list as well. This leads to additional cleanup required in
free_orinocodev.
