a4849fc157 RDMA/nes: Add wide_ppm_offset parm for switch compatibility
We have observed unstable link with a new BNT switch.

Add wide_ppm_offset parameter to allow the user to control the clock
ppm offset on the CX4 interface for better compatibility.  Default is
100ppm, setting it to 1 will increase it to 300ppm.  Change default
SerDes1 reference clock to external source.

1b9493248c RDMA/nes: Fix SFP+ PHY initialization
SFP+ PHY initialization has very long delays, incorrect settings for
direct attach copper cables, and inconsistent link detection.

Adjust delays to the minimum required by the PHY.  Worst case is now
less than 4 seconds.  Add new register settings for direct attach
cables.  Change link detection logic to use two new registers for more
consistent link state detection.  Reorganize code to shorten line
length.

5962c2c803 RDMA/nes: Fix nes_nic_cm_xmit() error handling
We are getting crash or hung situation when we are running network
cable pull tests during RDMA traffic.

In schedule_nes_timer(), we return an error if nes_nic_cm_xmit()
returns failure.  This is changed to success as skb is being put on
the timer routines to be processed later.  In send_syn() case, we are
indicating connect failure once from nes_connect() and the other when
the rexmit retries expires.

The other issue is skb->users which we are incrementing before calling
nes_nic_cm_xmit() which calls dev_queue_xmit() but in case of failure
we are decrementing the skb->users at the same time putting the skb on
the rexmit path.  Even if dev_queue_xmit() fails, the skb->users is
decremented already.  We are removing the decrement of skb->users in
case of failure from both schedule_nes_timer() as well as from
nes_cm_timer_tick().

There is also extra check in nes_cm_timer_tick() for rexmit failure
which does a break from the loop is removed.  This causes problem as
the other nodes have their cm_node->ref_count incremented and are not
processed.

79fc3d7410 RDMA/nes: Fix error handling issues
Fix issues found by static code analysis:

(1) Check if cm_node was successfully created for loopback connection.

(2) schedule_nes_timer() does not free up allocated memory after
    encountering an error.  There is a WARN_ON() for this condition.

(3) there is a cm_node->freed flag which is set but not used.

d2ca39f262 RDMA/cma: Create cm id even when IB port is down
When doing rdma_resolve_addr(), if the relevant IB port is down, the
function fails and the cm_id is not bound to the correct device.
Therefore, application does not have a device handle and cannot wait
for the port to become active.  The function fails because the
underlying IPoIB interface is not joined to the broadcast group and
therefore the SA does not have a multicast record to take a Q_Key
from.

The fix is to use lazy Q_Key resolution - cma_set_qkey() will set
id_priv->qkey if it was not set, and will be called just before the
Q_Key is really required.

IPoIB does, it might get a different rate.  This will cause IPoIB to

874d8df5ed RDMA/cxgb3: Release dependent resources only when endpoint memory is freed.
The cxgb3 l2t entry, hwtid, and dst entry were being released before
all the iwch_ep references were released.  This can cause a crash in
t3_l2t_send_slow() and other places where the l2t entry is used.

The fix is to defer releasing these resources until all endpoint
references are gone.

Details:

- move flags field to the iwch_ep_common struct.
- add a flag indicating resources are to be released.
- release resources at endpoint free time instead of close/abort time.

e4e72fb4de mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi
This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.

To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
mac80211 counterparts.

cd8ffc800c mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stop
Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
(which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.

We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
a follow-up patch.

This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support
aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now
not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being
established, but only after it has been fully established.

a220858d30 mac80211: add skb length sanity checking
We just found a bug in zd1211rw where it would reject
packets in the ->tx() method but leave them modified,
which would cause retransmit attempts with completely
bogus skbs, eventually leading to a panic due to not
having enough headroom in those.

This patch adds a sanity check to mac80211 to catch
such driver mistakes; in this case we warn and drop
the skb.

b1720231ca mac80211: unify and fix TX aggregation start
When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:
 1) print a debug message
 2) wake the virtual queue
 3) notify the driver

Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to
reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the
remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for
this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both
places where TX aggregation can become operational.

Additionally, rename the driver notification from
IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL.

Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the
fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent
and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated;
make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next

code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs
to walk the skb->next list.

This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code,

this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the

this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy

rather than acquiring it within.

__ieee80211_rx function because rate idx is out of range.

2b874e83c9 mac80211: rate control status only for controlled packets
This patch changes mac80211 to not notify the rate control algorithm's
tx_status() method when reporting status for a packet that didn't go
through the rate control algorithm's get_rate() method.

4a48e2a484 ar9170: simplify & deBUG tx_status queueing and reporting
This patch simplifies the tx_status report code by using four tx_queues per
station instead of only one. (the skb lookup should be in O(1) now :-p ).

Also, it fixes a really obvious copy&paste bug in the janitor work code and
adds back a few spilled bits to the hardware definition header about QoS.

04de838159 mac80211: add beacon filtering support
Add IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTERING flag so that driver inform that it supports
beacon filtering. Drivers need to call the new function
ieee80211_beacon_loss() to notify about beacon loss.

a08c1c1ac0 cfg80211: add feature to hold bss
In beacon filtering there needs to be a way to not expire the BSS even
when no beacons are received. Add an interface to cfg80211 to hold
BSS and make sure that it's not expired.

9050bdd858 mac80211: disable power save when scanning
When software scanning we need to disable power save so that all possible
probe responses and beacons are received. For hardware scanning assume that
hardware will take care of that and document that assumption.

15b7b0629c mac80211: track beacons separately from the rx path activity
Separate beacon and rx path tracking in preparation for the beacon filtering
support. At the same time change ieee80211_associated() to look a bit simpler.

Probe requests are now sent only after IEEE80211_PROBE_IDLE_TIME, which
is now set to 60 seconds.

3cf335d527 mac80211: decrease execution of the associated timer
Currently the timer is triggering every two seconds
(IEEE80211_MONITORING_INTERVAL). Decrease the timer to only trigger during
data idle periods to avoid waking up CPU unnecessary. The timer will
still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later.

There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the
data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity
on the data path.

This is also preparation for the beacon filtering support. Thanks to
Johannes Berg for the idea.
