Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the
following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up:

dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of
device might be broken.

The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last
slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR
notification.  With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond
mac address were in sync, but no longer are.  This triggers a call to dev_uc_add
and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device.  Then, when
we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to
determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave.  But
since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we
incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode
to begin with, causing the above error

Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function
and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity.

This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag

When TCP Small Queues was added, we used a sysctl to limit amount of
packets queues on Qdisc/device queues for a given TCP flow.

Problem is this limit is either too big for low rates, or too small
for high rates.

Now TCP stack has rate estimation in sk->sk_pacing_rate, and TSO
auto sizing, it can better control number of packets in Qdisc/device
queues.

New limit is two packets or at least 1 to 2 ms worth of packets.

Low rates flows benefit from this patch by having even smaller
number of packets in queues, allowing for faster recovery,
better RTT estimations.

High rates flows benefit from this patch by allowing more than 2 packets
in flight as we had reports this was a limiting factor to reach line
rate. [ In particular if TX completion is delayed because of coalescing
parameters ]

Example for a single flow on 10Gbp link controlled by FQ/pacing

14 packets in flight instead of 2

  2372 gc, 0 highprio, 0 retrans, 9739249 throttled, 0 flows_plimit

Note that sk_pacing_rate is currently set to twice the actual rate, but
this might be refined in the future when a flow is in congestion
avoidance.

Additional change : skb->destructor should be set to tcp_wfree().

A future patch (for linux 3.13+) might remove tcp_limit_output_bytes

When the frontend state changes netback now specifies its desired state to
a new function, set_backend_state(), which transitions through any
necessary intermediate states.
This fixes an issue observed with some old Windows frontend drivers where
they failed to transition through the Closing state and netback would not

Consider the scenario where an IPv6 router is advertising a fixed
preferred_lft of 1800 seconds, while the valid_lft begins at 3600
seconds and counts down in realtime.

A client should reset its preferred_lft to 1800 every time the RA is
received, but a bug is causing Linux to ignore the update.

The core problem is here:
  if (prefered_lft != ifp->prefered_lft) {

Note that ifp->prefered_lft is an offset, so it doesn't decrease over
time.  Thus, the comparison is always (1800 != 1800), which fails to
trigger an update.

The most direct solution would be to compute a "stored_prefered_lft",
and use that value in the comparison.  But I think that trying to filter
out unnecessary updates here is a premature optimization.  In order for
the filter to apply, both of these would need to hold:

  - The advertised valid_lft and preferred_lft are both declining in
    real time.
  - No clock skew exists between the router & client.

So in this patch, I've set "update_lft = 1" unconditionally, which
allows the surrounding code to be greatly simplified.

Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through
hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp
clock source by means of device tree file node.

For instance:

	fsl,cksel = <0>;

for using external (TSEC_TMR_CLK input) high precision timer
reference clock.

Other acceptable values:

	<1> : eTSEC system clock
	<2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock
	<3> : RTC clock input

When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as
IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

There is currently serialization network namespaces exiting and
network devices exiting as the final part of netdev_run_todo does not
happen under the rtnl_lock.  This is compounded by the fact that the
only list of devices unregistering in netdev_run_todo is local to the
netdev_run_todo.

This lack of serialization in extreme cases results in network devices
unregistering in netdev_run_todo after the loopback device of their
network namespace has been freed (making dst_ifdown unsafe), and after
the their network namespace has exited (making the NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL callbacks unsafe).

Add the missing serialization by a per network namespace count of how
many network devices are unregistering and having a wait queue that is
woken up whenever the count is decreased.  The count and wait queue
allow default_device_exit_batch to wait until all of the unregistration
activity for a network namespace has finished before proceeding to
unregister the loopback device and then allowing the network namespace
to exit.

Only a single global wait queue is used because there is a single global
lock, and there is a single waiter, per network namespace wait queues
would be a waste of resources.

The per network namespace count of unregistering devices gives a
progress guarantee because the number of network devices unregistering
in an exiting network namespace must ultimately drop to zero (assuming
network device unregistration completes).

The basic logic remains the same as in v1.  This patch is now half
comment and half rtnl_lock_unregistering an expanded version of
wait_event performs no extra work in the common case where no network
devices are unregistering when we get to default_device_exit_batch.

This patch removes the bcma_core_pci_power_save() call from
the bcma_core_pci_{up,down}() functions as it tries to schedule
thus requiring to call them from non-atomic context. The function
bcma_core_pci_power_save() is now exported so the calling module
can explicitly use it in non-atomic context. This fixes the
'scheduling while atomic' issue reported by Tod Jackson and
Joe Perches.

The driver uses platform_driver_probe() to obtain platform data
if any. However, that function is placed in the .init section so
it must be called upon driver module initialization.

The problem was reported by Fenguang Wu resulting in a kernel
oops because the .init section was already freed.

            BIOS 1.03.0450 03/29/2013

On Surface Pro, suspend to ram gives a NULL pointer dereference in
pfifo_fast_enqueue(). The stack trace reveals that the offending
call is clearing carrier in mwifiex_usb suspend handler.

Since commit 1499d9fa "mwifiex: don't drop carrier flag over suspend"
has removed the carrier flag handling over suspend/resume in SDIO
and PCIe drivers, I'm removing it in USB driver too. This also fixes
the bug for Surface Pro.

Bug 60815 - Interface hangs in mwifiex_usb
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60815

We have 4 bytes of interface header for packets delivered to SDIO
and PCIe, but not for USB interface.

In Tx AMSDU case, currently 4 bytes of garbage data is unnecessarily
appended for USB packets. This sometimes leads to a firmware hang,
because it may not interpret the data packet correctly.

Problem is fixed by removing this redundant headroom for USB.
