73871f7181 iwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series
When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.

When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.

By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.

For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

bcfc56a8be ath5k: don't reset mcast filter when configuring the mode
We should not zero out the multicast hash when configuring
the operating mode, since a zero value means all multicast
frames will get dropped.  Also, ath5k_mode_setup() gets
called after any reset, so the hash already set up in
configure_filter() is lost.

8f611288c8 b43: work around a locking issue in ->set_tim()
ops->set_tim() must be atomic, so b43 trying to acquire a mutex leads
to a kernel crash. This patch trades an easy to trigger crash in AP
mode for an unlikely race condition. According to Michael, the real
fix would be to allow set_tim() to sleep, since b43 is not the only
driver that needs to sleep in all callbacks.

9e0d57fd6d xfrm: SAD entries do not expire correctly after suspend-resume
This fixes the following bug in the current implementation of
net/xfrm: SAD entries timeouts do not count the time spent by the machine 
in the suspended state. This leads to the connectivity problems because 
after resuming local machine thinks that the SAD entry is still valid, while 
it has already been expired on the remote server.

  The cause of this is very simple: the timeouts in the net/xfrm are bound to 
the old mod_timer() timers. This patch reassigns them to the
CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimer.

  I have been using this version of the patch for a few months on my
machines without any problems. Also run a few stress tests w/o any
issues.

  This version of the patch uses tasklet_hrtimer by Peter Zijlstra
(commit 9ba5f0).

  This patch is against 2.6.31.4. Please CC me.

fddc17defa ipv6: udp: optimize unicast RX path
We first locate the (local port) hash chain head
If few sockets are in this chain, we proceed with previous lookup algo.

If too many sockets are listed, we take a look at the secondary
(port, address) hash chain.

We choose the shortest chain and proceed with a RCU lookup on the elected chain.

But, if we chose (port, address) chain, and fail to find a socket on given address,
 we must try another lookup on (port, in6addr_any) chain to find sockets not bound
to a particular IP.

-> No extra cost for typical setups, where the first lookup will probabbly
be performed.

RCU lookups everywhere, we dont acquire spinlock.

512615b6b8 udp: secondary hash on (local port, local address)
Extends udp_table to contain a secondary hash table.

socket anchor for this second hash is free, because UDP
doesnt use skc_bind_node : We define an union to hold
both skc_bind_node & a new hlist_nulls_node udp_portaddr_node

udp_lib_get_port() inserts sockets into second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

udp_lib_unhash() deletes socket from second hash chain
(additional cost of one atomic op)

Note : No spinlock lockdep annotation is needed, because
lock for the secondary hash chain is always get after
lock for primary hash chain.

81adee47df net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.

We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call.  To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.

In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

dumps are triggered. Maybe we also need "get_xstats_size" for
the CAN xstats.

fsl_pq_mdio.c:287: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast

These warnings are not easy to fix without ugly __force casts. So,
instead of introducing the casts, rework the code to substitute an
offset from an already mapped area. This makes the code a lot simpler
and less duplicated.

Plus, from now on we don't actually map reserved registers on
non-etsec2.0 devices, so we have more chances to catch programming
errors.

6755aebaaf can: should not use __dev_get_by_index() without locks
bcm_proc_getifname() is called with RTNL and dev_base_lock
not held. It calls __dev_get_by_index() without locks, and
this is illegal (might crash)

Close the race by holding dev_base_lock and copying dev->name
in the protected section.

b215c57dcc net: kill proto_ops wrapper
All users of wrapped proto_ops are now gone, so we can safely remove
the wrappers as well.

91774904fb net/x25: push BKL usage into x25_proto
The x25 driver uses lock_kernel() implicitly through
its proto_ops wrapper. The makes the usage explicit
in order to get rid of that wrapper and to better document
the usage of the BKL.

The next step should be to get rid of the usage of the BKL
in x25 entirely, which requires understanding what data
structures need serialized accesses.

58a9d73202 net/irda: push BKL into proto_ops
The irda driver uses the BKL implicitly in its protocol
operations. Replace the wrapped proto_ops with explicit
lock_kernel() calls makes the usage more obvious and
shrinks the size of the object code.

The calls t lock_kernel() should eventually all be replaced
by other serialization methods, which requires finding out

83927ba069 net/ipx: push down BKL into a ipx_dgram_ops
Making the BKL usage explicit in ipx makes it more
obvious where it is used, reduces code size and helps
getting rid of the BKL in common code.

I did not analyse how to kill lock_kernel from ipx
entirely, this will involve either proving that it's not
needed, or replacing with a proper mutex or spinlock,
after finding out which data structures are protected
by the lock.
