db048b6903 ethtool: Fix potential kernel buffer overflow in ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL
On a 32-bit machine, info.rule_cnt >= 0x40000000 leads to integer
overflow and the buffer may be smaller than needed.  Since
ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL is unprivileged, this can presumably be used for at
least denial of service.

Choi, David
51f932c487 micrel phy driver - updated(1)
Hello all:

This patch fixes what Ben mentioned, namely duplicated ids.

From: David J. Choi <david.choi@micrel.com>

Body of the explanation: This patch has changes as followings;
 -support the interrupt from phy devices from Micrel Inc.
 -support more phy devices, ks8737, ks8721, ks8041, ks8051 from Micrel.
 -remove vsc8201 because this device was used only internal test at Micrel.

529d6dad5b caif-driver: Add CAIF-SPI Protocol driver.
This patch introduces the CAIF SPI Protocol Driver for
CAIF Link Layer.

This driver implements a platform driver to accommodate for a
platform specific SPI device. A general platform driver is not
possible as there are no SPI Slave side Kernel API defined.

c22d7ac844 bonding: prevent netpoll over bonded interfaces
Support for netpoll over bonded interfaces was added here:

	commit f6dc31a85c
	Author: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com>
	Date:   Thu May 6 00:48:51 2010 -0700

	    bonding: make bonding support netpoll

but it is bad enough that we should probably just disable netpoll over
bonding until some of the locking logic in the bonding driver is changed
or converted completely to RCU.  Simple actions like changing the active
slave in active-backup mode will hang the box if a high enough printk
debugging level is enabled.

Keeping the old code around will be good for anyone that wants to work
on it (and for after the RCU conversion), so I propose this small patch
rather than ripping it all out.

a095cfc40e 3c59x: Specify window explicitly for access to windowed registers
Currently much of the code assumes that a specific window has been
selected, while a few functions save and restore the window.  This
makes it impossible to introduce fine-grained locking.

Make those assumptions explicit by introducing wrapper functions
to set the window and read/write a register.  Use these everywhere
except vortex_interrupt(), vortex_start_xmit() and vortex_rx().
These set the window just once, or not at all in the case of
vortex_rx() as it should always be called from vortex_interrupt().

Cache the current window in struct vortex_private to avoid
unnecessary hardware writes.

78c4653a22 ath9k: fix retry count for A-MPDU rate control status reports
The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both
software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy
frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU
rate control stats.
This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting
retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count
from the ath_tx_status.
Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx
status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which
may not contain the correct rates in the tx info.
This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over
subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is
submitted.
In my tests this change improves throughput visibly.

In commit 39d5b2c83c "ath5k: update
AR5K_PHY_RESTART_DIV_GC values to match masks" i introduced a regression on PHY
chips older than AR5K_SREV_PHY_5413, which caused signal values to be about
10dB less that before. This patch reverts the AR5K_PHY_RESTART_DIV_GC values to
the same values which were effectively used before (without the bitmask
mistake). This brings signal levels back to normal on these PHY chips.

We did not use the restored rcv_wscale anyway; it is recomputed
via tcp_select_initial_window().

Thus we can save 4 bits in the ts option space by removing rcv_wscale.
In case window scaling was not supported, we set the (invalid) wscale

In preparation for 64bit snmp counters for some mibs,
add an 'align' parameter to snmp_mib_init(), instead
of assuming mibs only contain 'unsigned long' fields.

Callers can use __alignof__(type) to provide correct
alignment.

5eaa0bd81f loopback: use u64_stats_sync infrastructure
Commit 6b10de38f0 (loopback: Implement 64bit stats on 32bit arches)
introduced 64bit stats in loopback driver, using a private seqcount and
private helpers.

David suggested to introduce a generic infrastructure, added in (net:
Introduce u64_stats_sync infrastructure)

This patch reimplements loopback 64bit stats using the u64_stats_sync
infrastructure.

59b80802a8 dccp: make implementation of Syn-RTT symmetric
This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing.

The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for
the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT
sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays
slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance.

This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto
the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample  when the (Data)Ack completing
the handshake arrives.

Also changed the documentation to 'TFRC' since Syn RTTs are also used by CCID-4.
