d8878f83cf ath5k: Remove old ath5k key handling functions
Remove the old ath5k key handling functions, since we now use the key

e0f8c2a9b8 ath5k: Use common ath key management functions
Use common ath key management functions in ath5k. This fixes problems with HW
encryption in AP mode, which was broken in the ath5k implementation.

Before (with the ath5k implementation) only one client could connect to the AP
using HW encryption and WPA. When a second client connected, the first client
was not able to send/receive any more packets. Because of the problems with HW
encryption, software encryption was always used in AP mode, which resulted in a
high CPU load (and/or low thruput) on embedded devices. Instead of trying to
fix the implementation in ath5k it makes more sense to share the code with
ath9k.

This also enables HW encryption for AP mode again.

1bba5b7329 ath: Copy key cache management functions from ath9k to ath
Copied the key cache management functions from ath9k (common.c and hw.c) to
ath/key.c so we can use them from ath5k, later.

Minor changes have been made:
 - renamed ath9k_* to ath_*
 - replaced ah->caps.keycache_size with common->keymax
 - removed ATH9K_IS_MIC_ENABLED since it is always true.
 - the AR_PCU_MIC_NEW_LOC_ENA flag is replaced with (splitmic == 0).

16c3ea785f net: enable GRO by default for vlan devices
Currently vlan devices don't have GRO by default as none of the Ethernet
drivers add NETIF_F_GRO to their vlan_features.

As GRO is a software feature add GRO to dev->vlan_features in
register_netdevice() and let vlan_dev_init() take care that it gets
enabled only when dev->features has NETIF_F_GRO too.

4e3d16ce5e Phonet: resource routing backend
When both destination device and object are nul, Phonet routes the
packet according to the resource field. In fact, this is the most
common pattern when sending Phonet "request" packets. In this case,
the packet is delivered to whichever endpoint (socket) has
registered the resource.

This adds a new table so that Linux processes can register their
Phonet sockets to Phonet resources, if they have adequate privileges.

(Namespace support is not implemented at the moment.)

6482f554e2 Phonet: remove dangling pipe if an endpoint is closed early
Closing a pipe endpoint is not normally allowed by the Phonet pipe,
other than as a side after-effect of removing the pipe between two
endpoints. But there is no way to prevent Linux userspace processes
from being killed or suffering from bugs, so this can still happen.
We might as well forcefully close Phonet pipe endpoints then.

The cellular modem supports only a few existing pipes at a time. So we
really should not leak them. This change instructs the modem to destroy
the pipe if either of the pipe's endpoint (Linux socket) is closed too
early.

801e147cde r8169: Handle rxfifo errors on 8168 chips
The Thinkpad X100e seems to have some odd behaviour when the display is
powered off - the onboard r8169 starts generating rxfifo overflow errors.
The root cause of this has not yet been identified and may well be a
hardware design bug on the platform, but r8169 should be more resiliant to
this. This patch enables the rxfifo interrupt on 8168 devices and removes
the MAC version check in the interrupt handler, and the machine no longer
crashes when under network load while the screen turns off.

number of rx BDs the hardware would fetch at a time.  For later devices

enabled to fix the same problem.  This patch adds that hardware fix.

There is a gap in the ASIC revision lineage where neither fix is
applied.  This is intentional as these ASIC revisions are not afflicted
by the bug.

01f83d6984 tcp: Prevent overzealous packetization by SWS logic.
If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised
window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily.

This causes problems with some embedded devices.

However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize
otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things
like fast retransmit and recovery to work.

Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise
we'll never send until the probe timer.

37efb03fbd dccp ccid-3: Simplify and consolidate tx_parse_options
This simplifies and consolidates the TX option-parsing code:

 1. The Loss Intervals option is not currently used, so dead code related to
    this option is removed. I am aware of no plans to support the option, but
    if someone wants to implement it (e.g. for inter-op tests), it is better
    to start afresh than having to also update currently unused code.

 2. The Loss Event and Receive Rate options have a lot of code in common (both
    are 32 bit, both have same length etc.), so this is consolidated.

 3. The test against GSR is not necessary, because
    - on first loading CCID3, ccid_new() zeroes out all fields in the socket;
    - ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv() treats 0 and ~0U equivalently, due to

	pinv = opt_recv->ccid3or_loss_event_rate;
	if (pinv == ~0U || pinv == 0)
		hctx->p = 0;

    - as a result, the sequence number field is removed from opt_recv.

d2c726309d dccp ccid-3: remove buggy RTT-sampling history lookup
This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since

 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both
    indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample);

 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug
    warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value;

 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and
    thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606.

The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually.

Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be
triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above),
hence it is not very useful.

20cbd3e120 dccp ccid-3: A lower bound for the inter-packet scheduling algorithm
This fixes a subtle bug in the calculation of the inter-packet gap and shows
that t_delta, as it is currently used, is not needed.

The algorithm from RFC 5348, 8.3 below continually computes a send time t_nom,
which is initialised with the current time t_now; t_gran = 1E6 / HZ specifies
the scheduling granularity, s the packet size, and X the sending rate:

  t_distance = t_nom - t_now;		// in microseconds
  t_delta    = min(t_ipi, t_gran) / 2;	// `delta' parameter in microseconds

  if (t_distance >= t_delta) {
	reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
  } else {
  	t_ipi  = s / X;			// inter-packet interval in usec
	t_nom += t_ipi;			// compute the next send time
	send packet now;
  }

Problem:
--------
Rescheduling requires a conversion into milliseconds (sk_reset_timer()). The
highest jiffy resolution with HZ=1000 is 1 millisecond, so using a higher
granularity does not make much sense here.

As a consequence, values of t_distance < 1000 are truncated to 0. This issue
has so far been resolved by using instead

  if (t_distance >= t_delta + 1000)
	reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;

This is unnecessarily large, a lower bound is t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000).
And it implies a further simplification:

 a) when HZ >= 500, then t_delta <= t_gran/2 = 10^6/(2*HZ) <= 1000, so that
    t_delta' = MAX(1000, t_delta) = 1000 (constant value);

 b) when HZ < 500, then t_delta = 1/2*MIN(rtt, t_ipi, t_gran) <= t_gran/2,
    so that 1000 <= t_delta' <= t_gran/2.

The maximum error of using a constant t_delta in (b) is less than half a jiffy.

Fix:
----
The patch replaces t_delta with a constant, whose value depends on CONFIG_HZ,
changing the above algorithm to:

  if (t_distance >= t_delta')
	reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;

where t_delta' = 10^6/(2*HZ) if HZ < 500, and t_delta' = 1000 otherwise.
