fd74d065f4 iwl3945: fix queue allocation
commit 6f98613258b966ffe0e6def18129b386514d10e0
Author: Jay Sternberg <jay.e.sternberg@intel.com>
Date:   Sat Sep 18 09:07:04 2010 -0700

    iwlagn: reduce redundant parameter definitions

broke 3945 because Jay accidentally removed the
num_of_queues parameter for 3945, so that we now
attempt to allocate a zero-sized queue array,
which leads to SLUB returning ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10)
which we then try to dereference thus crashing the
system. Restore the necessary num_of_queues param.

This fixes

c919b371cb drm/radeon/kms: avoid corner case issue with unmappable vram V2
We should not allocate any object into unmappable vram if we
have no means to access them which on all GPU means having the
CP running and on newer GPU having the blit utility working.

This patch limit the vram allocation to visible vram until
we have acceleration up and running.

Note that it's more than unlikely that we run into any issue
related to that as when acceleration is not woring userspace
should allocate any object in vram beside front buffer which
should fit in visible vram.

V2 use real_vram_size as mc_vram_size could be bigger than
   the actual amount of vram

d196c9a5d4 dccp: generalise data-loss condition
This patch generalises the task of determining data loss from RFC 4340, 7.7.1.

Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let
N_B be the NDP count of packet S_B. Then, using modulo-2^48 arithmetic,
 D = S_B - S_A - 1  is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets,
 D - N_B            is an approximation of the number of lost data packets
                    (there are cases where this is not exact).

The patch implements this as
 dccp_loss_count(S_A, S_B, N_B) := max(S_B - S_A - 1 - N_B, 0)

0b53d4604a dccp: fix the adjustments to AWL and SWL
This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.

Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.

This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
during the lifetime of a connection.

Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
updated, as implemented by the patch.

A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
feature negotiation has completed.

During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

7c5347733d fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().

It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.

This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.

Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle).  This is number 3.

Oops, this was an old version, the up2date ones also took care of "used"
field.

[PATCH net-next V2] neigh: reorder struct neighbour fields

(refcnt) and (ha_lock, ha, used, dev, output, ops, primary_key) should
be placed on a separate cache lines.

refcnt can be often written, while other fields are mostly read.

73cf624d02 x86, numa: For each node, register the memory blocks actually used
Russ reported SGI UV is broken recently. He said:

| The SRAT table shows that memory range is spread over two nodes.
|
| SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 100000000-800000000

| SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 1000000000-1080000000
|
|Previously, the kernel early_node_map[] would show three entries
|with the proper node.
|
|[    0.000000]     0: 0x00100000 -> 0x00800000
|[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000
|[    0.000000]     0: 0x01000000 -> 0x01080000
|
|The problem is recent community kernel early_node_map[] shows
|only two entries with the node 0 entry overlapping the node 1
|entry.
|
|    0: 0x00100000 -> 0x01080000
|    1: 0x00800000 -> 0x01000000

After looking at the changelog, Found out that it has been broken for a while by
following commit

Before that commit, register_active_regions() is called for every SRAT memory
entry right away.

Use nodememblk_range[] instead of nodes[] in order to make sure we
capture the actual memory blocks registered with each node.  nodes[]
contains an extended range which spans all memory regions associated
with a node, but that does not mean that all the memory in between are
included.

cdfd2c5cff rt2x00: Move watchdog work to kernel work_queue
The watchdog function must run on a work_queue
which is independent of any other work inside rt2x00.

The main reasons, being that a broken work on the mac80211
work_queue can otherwise prevent the watchdog to run (while
in fact the watchdog could fix the issue). And on the other
hand because the watchdog relies on the completion of the
completion handlers for RX/TX which for the USB case, occur
on the mac80211 workqueue.

This fixes some "Queue %d failed to flush" errors, which were
caused by the watchdog function waiting on the completion
handler which was scheduled to run right after the watchdog.

a8909cfb18 ath9k: built-in rate control A-MPDU fix
This patch attempts to ensure that ath9k's built-in rate control algorithm
does not rely on the value of the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len tx status
fields unless the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag is set.

This patch has not been tested.

ebd022873a ath9k: A-MPDU rate control info fix
This patch fixes the following problems with the rate control feedback
generated by ath9k for A-MPDU frames:

1. Rate control feedback is carried on the first frame of an aggregate
that is either ACKed, or has execeeded the software retry count and is
considered failed. However, ath9k would incorrectly assume the aggregate
had the length 1 if one of these conditions did not apply to the first
frame of the aggregate, but instead a later frame. This fix therefor
copies the bf_nframes field of the buffer in the same manner as the rates
field of the tx status.

2. Sometimes the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields of the tx status was
left uninitialized eventhough the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag was set.
This is now avoid by setting flag and fields in the same place.

3. Even if a frame has been selected for aggregation by mac80211 and
marked with the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag it can sometimes happen that
ath9k transmits the frame without aggregation. In these cases the
ampdu_ack_len field could be incorrectly computed because the nbad
parameter to ath_tx_rc_status was incorrect.

15d46f38df mac80211: minstrel_ht A-MPDU fix
This patch fixes two problems with the minstrel_ht rate control
algorithms handling of A-MPDU frames:

1. The ampdu_len field of the tx status is not always initialized for
non-HT frames (and it would probably be unreasonable to require all
drivers to do so). This could cause rate control statistics to be
corrupted. We now trust the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields only when
the frame is marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag.

2. Successful transmission attempts where only recognized when the A-MPDU
subframe carrying the rate control status information was marked with the
IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK flag. If this information happed to be carried on a
frame that failed to be ACKed then the other subframes (which may have
succeeded) where not correctly registered. We now update rate control
statistics regardless of whether the subframe carrying the information was
ACKed or not.

Since this small buffer isn't used for DMA,
we can simply allocate it on the stack, it
just needs to be 16 bytes of which only 8
will be used for WEP40 keys.

9bc6772e15 wl1251: move to it's own directory
wl1271 driver is under heavy development but on the other hand the older
wl1251 driver is currently considered more as a legacy driver. To make it
easier to develop wl1271 features move wl1251 to it's own directory,
drivers/net/wireless/wl1251.

There are no functional changes, only moving of files. One regression
is that Kconfig won't be updated automatically and user needs to enable
wl1251 manually with an older config file.

In preparation of moving wl1251 out from drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx
create a separate copy of wl12xx_80211.h.

This file should not even exist, we should instead use generic ieee80211
definitions. This will be fixed in the future so that the file can
be removed.

8f236d1bef carl9170: A-MPDU frame type filter
In the past, carl9170 has been plagued by mysterious
ghosts.

e.g.:
 wlan4: deauthenticated from 02:04:d8:3c:ac:c1 (Reason: 0)

Apparently, the AP sent us a bogus deauthentication
notification. But upon closer inspection the
"management frame" turned out to be a corrupted
scrap of an unsuccessful A-MPDU.

9f59f3c694 carl9170: remove stale rx error path
The total/fatal error bit was erroneously prefixed
with AR9170_RX_ERROR instead of AR9170_RX_STATUS.
Luckily, the hardware specification confirmed that
the 0x80 flag will never be set for mac->error.
So, it was always just a dead branch.

This patch also imports the latest version of
shared wlan.h header from the firmware git.
