Short term, this works around a bug introduced by early sg-chaining
work.
Long term, removing this function eliminates a branch from a hot
path loop in each scatter/gather table build. Also, as this code
demonstrates, we don't need to _track_ the end of the s/g list, as
long as we mark it in some way. And doing so programatically is nice.
So its a useful cleanup, regardless of its short term effects.
Based conceptually on a quick patch by Jens Axboe.

Because rt2x00 implements the residual calculation different from what the
legacy code does (i.e. scaled values), we need to adjust the residual check.
Again, we are only mimicking the behaviour of the ralink driver without

ipw2100 wasn't sending WEXT scan events at all on scan completion. And

schedstat is useful in investigating CPU scheduler behavior. Ideally,
I think it is beneficial to have it on all the time. However, the
cost of turning it on in production system is quite high, largely due
to number of events it collects and also due to its large memory
footprint.
Most of the fields probably don't need to be full 64-bit on 64-bit
arch. Rolling over 4 billion events will most like take a long time
and user space tool can be made to accommodate that. I'm proposing
kernel to cut back most of variable width on 64-bit system. (note,
the following patch doesn't affect 32-bit system).

Some APs send management frames with junk padding after the last IE.
We already account for a similar problem with some Apple Airport
devices, but at least one device is known to send more than a single
extra byte. The device in question is the Draytek Vigor2900:
http://www.draytek.com.au/products/Vigor2900.php
The junk in question looks like an IE that runs off the end of the
frame. This cause us to return ParseFailed. Since the frame in
question is an association response, this causes us to fail to associate
with this AP.
The return code from ieee802_11_parse_elems is superfluous.
All callers still check for the presence of the specific IEs that
interest them anyway. So, remove the return code so the parse never
"fails".

In the IPV6_FL_A_GET case the hash is checked for flowlabels
with the given label. If it is not found, the lock, protecting
the hash, is dropped to be re-get for writing. After this a
newly allocated entry is inserted, but no checks are performed
to catch a classical SMP race, when the conflicting label may
be inserted on another cpu.
Use the (currently unused) return value from fl_intern() to
return the conflicting entry (if found) and re-check, whether
we can reuse it (IPV6_FL_F_EXCL) or return -EEXISTS.
Also add the comment, about why not re-lookup the current
sock for conflicting flowlabel entry.

When part of build an external module tree, modpost first reads in the
kernel's and then the external tree's Module.symvers files. From these files
it establishes a symbol => module mapping. When it later reads in each module
built and processes the symbols it finds, it discovers the symbol=>module
mapping from Module.symvers and leaves it as it is.
The problem comes with a module has been re-named or a symbol has moved from
one module to another, since the Module.symvers file was generated. modpost
does not update the symbol=>module mapping when it finds the new location of
the symbol when scanning the newly built modules. This results in the module
containing incorrect dependency information and the new Module.symvers file
written by modpost will also contain the incorrect mappings, perpetuating the
problem to the next build, and so on.
When building the out of kernel development tree for kernel subsystem, like
v4l-dvb or ALSA, deleting the external Module.symvers file before building
(which the kernel build system doesn't do and shouldn't be necessary anyway),
won't fix the problem. modpost still reads the kernel's Module.symvers, and
since we a building a kernel subsystem, it will define the same symbols as the
external modules.

We often hit the situation where the asm symlink
in include/ points to the wrong architecture.
In 9 out of 10 cases thats because we forgot to set
ARCH but sometimes we just reused the same tree
for another ARCH. For the merged x86 tree we need
to create a new symlink but this is not obvious.
So with the following patch we check if the symlink
points to the correct architecture and error
out if this is not the case.

While looking at a net driver with the following construct,
if (!netif_carrier_ok(dev))
netif_carrier_on(dev);
it stuck me that the netif_carrier_ok() check was redundant, since
netif_carrier_on() checks bit __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER anyway. This is
the same reason why netif_queue_stopped() need not be called prior to
netif_wake_queue().
This is true, but there is however an unwanted side effect from assuming
that netif_carrier_on() can be called multiple times: it touches the
watchdog, regardless of pre-existing carrier state.
The fix: move watchdog-up inside the bit-cleared code path.

This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode. The existing
mode object is renamed to outer_mode.
This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms. As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use. As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.
What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part. For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.
I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.

For IPv4 we were using the bottom route's peer instead of the top one.
This is wrong because the peer is only used by TCP to keep track of
information about the TCP destination address which certainly does not
live in the bottom route.
This patch fixes that which allows us to get rid of the family check
since the bottom route could be IPv6 while the top one must always
be IPv4.
I've also changed the other fields which are IPv4-specific to get the
info from the top route instead of potentially bogus data from the
bottom route.
