3fa52056f3 mac80211: fix PS-poll response, race
When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly
queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than
the pending queue.

Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially
send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a
station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a
packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter
clearing we added for it.

(Also remove a now dead function)

91a3bd7615 mac80211: fix MLME issuing of probe requests while scanning
We were issuing probe requests to the associated AP on the wrong
band by having our beacon timer loss trigger while we are scanning.
When we would scan the timer could hit and force us to send a
probe request to the AP but with a chance we'd be on the wrong band.

This leads to finding no usable bitrate but we should not get so
far on the xmit path. We should not be trying to send these probe
request frames so prevent ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() from sending
these.

As it turns out all callers of ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() need this
check so we just move the scan check there. This means we can remove
the recenlty added check during ieee80211_sta_monitor_work().

Additionally we now fix a race condition added by the patch
"mac80211: do not monitor the connection while scanning" which
had the same check in ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer(). The race
happens because the timer routine *does* a valid check for
scanning but after it queues work into the mac80211 workqueue
the work callback can kick off with scanning enabled and cause
the same issue we were trying to avoid.

The more appropriate solution would be to disable the respective
timers during scan and re-enable them after scan but requires more
complex code and testing.

485318471e mac80211: fix mlme timeouts
When a new MLME work is created, its timeout is initialised
to 0. This is wrong, it could then be thought of as having
an actual timeout in the future (time_is_after_jiffies() can
return true). Instead, it should be initialised to jiffies
so that it will run right away as soon as the mlme work is
executed.

142b9f5074 mac80211: implement basic background scanning
Introduce a new scan flag "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" which basically tells us
that we are currently on a different channel for scanning and cannot
RX/TX. "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" tells us that we are currently running a
software scan but we might as well be on the operating channel to RX/TX.
While "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" is set during the whole scan "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL"
is set when leaving the operating channel and unset when coming back.

Introduce two new scan states "SCAN_LEAVE_OPER_CHANNEL" and
"SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL" which basically implement the functionality we
need to leave the operating channel (send a nullfunc to the AP and stop
the queues) and enter it again (send a nullfunc to the AP and start the
queues again).

Enhance the scan state "SCAN_DECISION" to switch back to the operating
channel after each scanned channel. In the future it sould be simple
to enhance the decision state to scan as much channels in a row as the
qos latency allows us.

eb87eaac52 rt2x00: Don't alter rt2x00dev->default_ant
rt2x00dev->default_ant should be initialized once by the driver,
and should not be changed afterwards. Because rt2x00lib_config_antenna()
was using a reference to the struct antenna_setup it actually had the oppurtunity
to change the default antenna setting and it actually did that during the validation.

Instead of passing a pointer to antenna_setup the entire structure should be copied.

463d018323 cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces
In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces,
we have to do the following things:

 * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather
   than a netdev pointer - simply change this

 * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's
   network namespace

 * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer
   and reference instead

 * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be
   in one netns together, so
    - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so
      export dev_change_net_namespace()
    - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
      flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns,
      to disallow breaking this invariant

 * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the
   wiphy to init_net

 * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must
   create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects
   only mac80211

The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into
a different network namespace with the new command
	iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid>
and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

5061b0c2b9 mac80211: cooperate more with network namespaces
There are still two places in mac80211 that hardcode
the initial net namespace (init_net). One of them is
mandated by cfg80211 and will be removed by a separate
patch, the other one is used for finding the network
device of a pending packet via its ifindex.

Remove the latter use by keeping track of the device
pointer itself, via the vif pointer, and avoid it
going stale by dropping pending frames for a given
interface when the interface is removed.

To keep track of the vif pointer for the correct
interface, change the info->control.vif pointer's
internal use to always be the correct vif, and only
move it to the vif the driver expects (or NULL for
monitor interfaces and injected packets) right before
giving the packet to the driver.

for serdes connections as well.  In addition it is also needed for 82575
serdes so we we need to remove the checks restricting it to 82576.

dcc3ae9a52 igb: remove media type fiber as it is misleading
The current igb driver only supports copper and serdes.  The fiber media
type is a holdover from earlier NICs as the current nics supported by igb
all use serdes when communicating over a fiber connection.  As a result we
can remove media type fiber without losing any functionality.

f70e75e110 mISDN: hfcmulti display real PCI ids for not supported cards
In the PCI probe function struct pci_device_id points to the matched
entry of the ID table, but for devices which are matched with
PCI_ANY_ID sub IDs we want display the IDs of the device itself.

3cad3da3ed drivers/isdn: Drop unnecessary NULL test
The result of container_of should not be NULL.  In particular, in this case
the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which
dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier fn,work,x,fld;
type T;
expression E1,E2;
statement S;
@@

static fn(struct work_struct *work) {
  ... when != work = E1
  x = container_of(work,T,fld)
  ... when != x = E2
- if (x == NULL) S
  ...
}
// </smpl>
