471a76ded8 ixgbevf: convert to ndo_fix_features
Private rx_csum flags are now duplicate of netdev->features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM.
Removing this needs deeper surgery.

Since ixgbevf doesn't change hardware state on RX csum enable/disable
its reset is avoided.

Things noticed:
 - HW VLAN acceleration probably can be toggled, but it's left as is
 - the resets on RX csum offload change can probably be avoided
 - there is A LOT of copy-and-pasted code here

4197aa7bb8 ixgbevf: provide 64 bit statistics
Compute statistics per ring using 64 bits, and provide
network device stats in 64 bits.

It should make this driver multiqueue operations faster (no more cache
line ping pongs on netdev->stats structure)

Use u64_stats_sync infrastructure so that its safe on 32bit arches as
well.

Based on a prior patch from Stephen Hemminger

98b9e48fca ixgbevf: Check if EOP has changed before using it
There is a chance that between the time EOP is read and the time it is
used another transmit on a different CPU could have run and completed,
thus leaving EOP in a bad state.

31c15a2f24 e1000: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses
Virtual Machines with emulated e1000 network adapter running on Parallels'
server were seeing kernel panics due to the e1000 driver dereferencing an
unexpected NULL pointer retrieved from buffer_info->skb.

The problem has been addressed for the e1000e driver, but not for the e1000.
Since the two drivers share similar code in the affected area, a port of the
following e1000e driver commit solves the issue for the e1000 driver:

commit 9ed318d546
Author: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com>
Date:   Wed May 5 14:02:27 2010 +0000

    e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses

    In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which
    are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info.  When
    cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated
    buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses
    on skb fields.

Add uapsd_queues and max_sp fields to ieee80211_sta.
These fields might be needed by low-level drivers in
order to configure the AP.

c75786c9ef nl80211/cfg80211: add STA WME parameters
Add new NL80211_ATTR_STA_WME nested attribute that contains
wme params needed by the low-level driver (uapsd_queues and
max_sp).

Add these params to the station_parameters struct as well.

a21fa87e3a mac80211: allow action frames with unknown BSSID in GO mode
When operating as a P2P GO, we receive some P2P action frames where the
BSSID is set to the peer MAC address. Specifically, this occurs for
invitation responses. These are valid action frames and they should be
passed up.

1a6e9d0f2e ath9k: Send legacy rated frames as unaggregated
Currently the aggregation is formed till the aggregation limit
is reached and the rate lookup is done for the first frame alone.
But there can be a legacy rated frames in tid queue. This patch
limits the subframe addition based on presence of legacy rate and
sends the legacy rated frames as unaggregated one.

2a33bee275 mac80211: fix race condition between assoc_done and first EAP packet
When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP
packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association
success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211.
In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to
the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet.
Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually
sending the association request and setting it with a new
dummy_sta flag solve this problem.
The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it
is in the pre-association/dummy state.
This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get()
calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx().
The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the
dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association
is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry.
That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by
this change.

8c71df7a2f mac80211: refactor sta_info_insert_rcu to 3 main stages
Divided the sta_info_insert_rcu function to 3 mini-functions:
sta_info_insert_check - the initial checks done when inserting
a new station
sta_info_insert_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition for IBSS interfaces
sta_info_insert_non_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition in other cases

The outer API was not changed.
The refactoring was done for better usage of the different
stages in the station addition in new scenarios added
in the next commit.

c613366113 mac80211: mesh gate fixes
Since a v1 of the mesh gate series was accidentally applied, this patch
contains the changes in v2.

These are:
	- automatically make mesh gate a root node.
	- use TU_TO_EXP_TIME macro.
	- initialize timer instead of checking for NULL timer function.
	- cleanups.
