adc667e84f vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down
Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
administratively up or down.

	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
and close of the VLAN device.

	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
devices.

37e55cf0ce netfilter: xt_recent: fix stack overread in compat code
Related-to: commit 325fb5b4d2

The compat path suffers from a similar problem. It only uses a __be32
when all of the recent code uses, and expects, an nf_inet_addr
everywhere. As a result, addresses stored by xt_recents were
filled with whatever other stuff was on the stack following the be32.

3f9738f73a 8139too: fix HW initial flow
While ifconfig eth0 up kernel calls open() of 8139 driver(8139too.c).
In rtl8139_hw_start() of rtl8139_open(), 8139 driver enable RX before
setting up the DMA buffer address. In this interval where RX was
enabled and DMA buffer address is not yet set up, any incoming
broadcast packet would be send to a strange physical address:
0x003e8800 which is the default value of DMA buffer address.
Unfortunately, this address is used by Linux kernel. So kernel panics.
This patch fix it by setting up DMA buffer address before RX enabled
and everything is fine even under broadcast packets attack.

3fa6b5adbe af_iucv: Fix race when queuing incoming iucv messages
AF_IUCV runs into a race when queuing incoming iucv messages
and receiving the resulting backlog.

If the Linux system is under pressure (high load or steal time),
the message queue grows up, but messages are not received and queued
onto the backlog queue. In that case, applications do not
receive any data with recvmsg() even if AF_IUCV puts incoming
messages onto the message queue.

The race can be avoided if the message queue spinlock in the
message_pending callback is spreaded across the entire callback
function.

df833b1d73 iwlwifi: DMA fixes
A few issues wrt DMA were uncovered when using the driver with swiotlb.
- driver should not use memory after it has been mapped
- iwl3945's RX queue management cannot use all of iwlagn because
  the size of the RX buffer is different. Revert back to using
  iwl3945 specific routines that map/unmap memory.
- no need to "dma_syn_single_range_for_cpu" followed by pci_unmap_single,
  we can just call pci_unmap_single initially
- only map the memory area that will be used by device. this is especially
  relevant to the mapping of iwl_cmd. we should not map the entire
  structure because the meta data at the beginning of structure contains
  the address to be used later for unmapping. If the address to be used for
  unmapping is stored in mapped data it creates a problem.
- ensure that _if_ memory needs to be modified after it is mapped that we
  call _sync_single_for_cpu first, and then release it back to device with
  _sync_single_for_device
- we mapped the wrong length of data for host commands, with mapped length
  differing with length provided to device, fix that.

Thanks to Jason Andryuk <jandryuk@gmail.com> for significant bisecting

d2ee9cd2e2 iwlwifi: add debugging for TX path
When debugging TX issues it is helpful to know the seq nr of the
frame being transmitted. The seq nr is printed as part of ucode's
log informing us which frame is being processed. Having this information
printed in driver log makes it easy to match activities between driver
and firmware.

Also make possible to print TX flags directly. These are already printed
as part of entire TX command, but having it printed directly in cpu format
makes it easier to look at.

c40af84a67 tun: Fix sk_sleep races when attaching/detaching
As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be
detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use
sk_sleep after detaching.

Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when
requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait
queue live there.  There is no reason to have it in tfile at all
since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached.
In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might
as well use it.

9c3fea6ab0 tun: Only free a netdev when all tun descriptors are closed
The commit c70f182940 ("tun: Fix
races between tun_net_close and free_netdev") fixed a race where
an asynchronous deletion of a tun device can hose a poll(2) on
a tun fd attached to that device.

However, this came at the cost of moving the tun wait queue into
the tun file data structure.  The problem with this is that it
imposes restrictions on when and where the tun device can access
the wait queue since the tun file may change at any time due to
detaching and reattaching.

In particular, now that we need to use the wait queue on the
receive path it becomes difficult to properly synchronise this
with the detachment of the tun device.

This patch solves the original race in a different way.  Since
the race is only because the underlying memory gets freed, we
can prevent it simply by ensuring that we don't do that until
all tun descriptors ever attached to the device (even if they
have since be detached because they may still be sitting in poll)
have been closed.

This is done by using reference counting the attached tun file
descriptors.  The refcount in tun->sk has been reappropriated
for this purpose since it was already being used for that, albeit
from the opposite angle.

Note that we no longer zero tfile->tun since tun_get will return
NULL anyway after the refcount on tfile hits zero.  Instead it
represents whether this device has ever been attached to a device.

52cf3cc8ac tcp: fix mid-wq adjustment helper
Just noticed while doing some new work that the recent
mid-wq adjustment logic will misbehave when FACK is not
in use (happens either due sysctl'ed off or auto-detected
reordering) because I forgot the relevant TCPCB tagbit.
