7d0446c234 bnx2x: WoL only with current MAC address
In some cases with 57711E, depending on the functions unload sequence, other
functions MAC address could have been used to wake the system as well. Make sure
to block all but the current function if WoL is required by changing the mode
to single function WoL.

581ce43d26 bnx2x: Receive traffic that maches management filtering rules
Due to lack of configuration, if the BMC configures the chip to pass all
broadcast/multicast traffic to it, the host will not receive it. On top of
fixing it, also make sure that in promiscuous mode, the host will receive the
management traffic as well.

1e4247d457 iwlwifi: debugFs to enable/disable HT40 support
Add debugfs file to enable/disable HT40(40MHz) channel support.
By default, 40MHz is supported if AP can support the function.

By echo "1" to "disable_ht40" file, iwlwifi driver will disable the
40MHz support and only allow 20MHz channel.

Because the information exchange happen during association time,
so enable/disable ht40 channel only can be performed when it is not
associated with AP.

a9a11622c5 cfg80211: self-contained wext handling where possible
Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for!

This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation
_completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things
cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of
wireless extensions.
This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's
Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext
now!

a7bc376c85 mac80211: verify info->control.vif is not NULL
When enqueuing packets on the internal packet queue, we
need to ensure that we have a valid vif pointer since
that is required since the net namespace work. Add some
assertions to verify this, but also don't crash is for
some reason we don't end up with a vif pointer -- warn
and drop the packet in all these cases.

Since this code touches a number of hotpaths, it is
intended to be temporary, or maybe configurable in the
future, at least the bit that is in the path that gets
hit for every packet, ieee80211_tx_pending().

bc43b28c10 cfg80211: fix circular lock dependency (1)
Luis reported this lockdep complaint, that he had also
reported earlier but when trying to analyse I had been
locking at the wrong code, and never saw the problem:

(slightly abridged)
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.31-rc4-wl #6
-------------------------------------------------------
wpa_supplicant/3799 is trying to acquire lock:
 (cfg80211_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa009246a>] cfg80211_get_dev_from_ifindex+0x1a/0x90 [cfg80211]

but task is already holding lock:
 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81400ff2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}:
       [<ffffffff810857b6>] __lock_acquire+0xd76/0x12b0
       [<ffffffff81085dd3>] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120
       [<ffffffff814ee7a4>] mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x350
       [<ffffffff81400ff2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20
       [<ffffffffa009f6a5>] nl80211_send_reg_change_event+0x1f5/0x2a0 [cfg80211]
       [<ffffffffa009529e>] set_regdom+0x28e/0x4c0 [cfg80211]

-> #0 (cfg80211_mutex){+.+.+.}:
       [<ffffffff8108587b>] __lock_acquire+0xe3b/0x12b0
       [<ffffffff81085dd3>] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120

       [<ffffffffa009813f>] get_rdev_dev_by_info_ifindex+0x6f/0xa0 [cfg80211]
       [<ffffffffa009b12b>] nl80211_set_interface+0x3b/0x260 [cfg80211]

When looking at the correct code, the problem is quite
obvious. I'm not entirely sure which code paths lead
here, so until I can analyse it better let's just use
RCU to avoid the problem.

89c3a8aca2 mac80211: fix suspend
Jan reported that his b43-based laptop hangs during suspend.
The problem turned out to be mac80211 asking the driver to
stop the hardware before removing interfaces, and interface
removal caused b43 to touch the hardware (while down, which
causes the hang).

This patch fixes mac80211 to do reorder these operations to
have them in the correct order -- first remove interfaces
and then stop the hardware. Some more code is necessary to
be able to do so in a race-free manner, in particular it is
necessary to not process frames received during quiescing.

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13337.

57921c312e libertas: Read buffer overflow
Several arrays were read before checking whether the index was within
bounds. ARRAY_SIZE() should be used to determine the size of arrays.

rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so calling get_common_rates()
with a rates_size of MAX_RATES (14) was causing reads out of bounds.

tmp_size can increment at most to (ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1) *
(*rates_size - 1), so that should be the number of elements of tmp[].

A goto can be eliminated: ret was already set upon its declaration.

c2acea8e9b iwlwifi: fix up command sending
The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
    and device data in a single packed structure -- this
    is very confusing
 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
    structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
    is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
    unions and similarly odd constructs
 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
    even if only 32 end up being used

This patch fixes these things:
 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
    command metadata and device command separately, in
    two arrays in each tx queue
 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
    put in the required members
 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
    embedding them into the txq structure

Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the
Legacy Thermal Management:

   IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state
   IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state
   IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state

Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all
the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5
seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change,
then measure the temperature.
If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep;
if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State
Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode
remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update
the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.

so it will not be stuck in the loop.

Since the search table is already set up in uCode,
we need to empty out the the search table;
revert back to the "active" rate and throughput info.
Also pass the "active" table setup to uCode to make
sure the rate scale is functioning correctly.

21f5fc75de mac80211: fix oops due to missing private data
This was caused by patch:

"mac80211: cooperate more with network namespaces"

The version of the patch applied doesn't match Johannes' latest:

http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/LATEST/NNN-mac80211-netns.patch

The skb->cb virtual interface data wasn't being reset for
reuse so ath9k pooped out when trying to dereference the
private rate control info from the skb.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa0258173>] ath_tx_rc_status+0x33/0x150 [ath9k]
<-- snip etc -->

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.
