John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull this batch of wireless updates intended for 3.15!
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"This has a whole bunch of bugfixes for things that went into -next
previously as well as some other bugfixes I didn't want to rush into
3.14 at this point. The rest of it is some cleanups and a few small
features, the biggest of which is probably Janusz's regulatory DFS CAC
time code."
For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:
"One more pull request to 3.15. This is mostly and bug fix pull request, it
contains several fixes and clean up all over the tree, plus some small new
features."
For the NFC bits, Samuel says:
"This is the NFC pull request for 3.15. With this one we have:
- Support for ISO 15693 a.k.a. NFC vicinity a.k.a. Type 5 tags. ISO
15693 are long range (1 - 2 meters) vicinity tags/cards. The kernel
now supports those through the NFC netlink and digital APIs.
- Support for TI's trf7970a chipset. This chipset relies on the NFC
digital layer and the driver currently supports type 2, 4A and 5 tags.
- Support for NXP's pn544 secure firmare download. The pn544 C3 chipsets
relies on a different firmware download protocal than the C2 one. We
now support both and use the right one depending on the version we
detect at runtime.
- Support for 4A tags from the NFC digital layer.
- A bunch of cleanups and minor fixes from Axel Lin and Thierry Escande."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"We were sending a host command while the mutex wasn't held. This
led to hard-to-catch races."
And...
"I have a fix for a "merge damage" which is not really a merge
damage: it enables scheduled scan which has been disabled in
wireless.git. Since you merged wireless.git into wireless-next.git,
this can now be fixed in wireless-next.git.
Besides this, Alex made a workaround for a hardware bug. This fix
allows us to consume less power in S3. Arik and Eliad continue to
work on D0i3 which is a run-time power saving feature. Eliad also
contributes a few bits to the rate scaling logic to which Eyal adds his
own contribution. Avri dives deep in the power code - newer firmware
will allow to enable power save in newer scenarios. Johannes made a few
clean-ups. I have the regular amount of BT Coex boring stuff. I disable
uAPSD since we identified firmware bugs that cause packet loss. One
thing that do stand out is the udev event that we now send when the
FW asserts. I hope it will allow us to debug the FW more easily."
Also included is one last iwlwifi pull for a build breakage fix...
For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"Michal now did some optimisations and was able to improve throughput by
100 Mbps on our MIPS based AP135 platform. Chun-Yeow added some
workarounds to be able to better use ad-hoc mode. Ben improved log
messages and added support for MSDU chaining. And, as usual, also some
smaller fixes."
Beyond that...
Andrea Merello continues his rtl8180 refactoring, in preparation for
a long-awaited rtl8187 driver. We get a new driver (rsi) for the
RS9113 chip, from Fariya Fatima. And, of course, we get the usual
round of updates for ath9k, brcmfmac, mwifiex, wil6210, etc. as well.

Few platforms use external regulator to keep the ethernet MAC supplied.

With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:
If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...
* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"I know this is a bit more than you want to see, and I've told the
wireless folks under no uncertain terms that they must severely scale
back the extent of the fixes they are submitting this late in the
game.
Anyways:
1) vmxnet3's netpoll doesn't perform the equivalent of an ISR, which
is the correct implementation, like it should. Instead it does
something like a NAPI poll operation. This leads to crashes.
From Neil Horman and Arnd Bergmann.
2) Segmentation of SKBs requires proper socket orphaning of the
fragments, otherwise we might access stale state released by the
release callbacks.
This is a 5 patch fix, but the initial patches are giving
variables and such significantly clearer names such that the
actual fix itself at the end looks trivial.
From Michael S. Tsirkin.
3) TCP control block release can deadlock if invoked from a timer on
an already "owned" socket. Fix from Eric Dumazet.
4) In the bridge multicast code, we must validate that the
destination address of general queries is the link local all-nodes
multicast address. From Linus Lüssing.
5) The x86 BPF JIT support for negative offsets puts the parameter
for the helper function call in the wrong register. Fix from
Alexei Starovoitov.
6) The descriptor type used for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17 chips in the
r8169 driver is incorrect. Fix from Hayes Wang.
7) The xen-netback driver tests skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type bits to see
if a packet is a GSO frame, but that's not the correct test. It
should use skb_is_gso(skb) instead. Fix from Wei Liu.
8) Negative msg->msg_namelen values should generate an error, from
Matthew Leach.
9) at86rf230 can deadlock because it takes the same lock from it's
ISR and it's hard_start_xmit method, without disabling interrupts
in the latter. Fix from Alexander Aring.
10) The FEC driver's restart doesn't perform operations in the correct
order, so promiscuous settings can get lost. Fix from Stefan
Wahren.
11) Fix SKB leak in SCTP cookie handling, from Daniel Borkmann.
12) Reference count and memory leak fixes in TIPC from Ying Xue and
Erik Hugne.
13) Forced eviction in inet_frag_evictor() must strictly make sure all
frags are deleted, otherwise module unload (f.e. 6lowpan) can
crash. Fix from Florian Westphal.
14) Remove assumptions in AF_UNIX's use of csum_partial() (which it
uses as a hash function), which breaks on PowerPC. From Anton
Blanchard.
The main gist of the issue is that csum_partial() is defined only
as a value that, once folded (f.e. via csum_fold()) produces a
correct 16-bit checksum. It is legitimate, therefore, for
csum_partial() to produce two different 32-bit values over the
same data if their respective alignments are different.
15) Fix endiannes bug in MAC address handling of ibmveth driver, also
from Anton Blanchard.
16) Error checks for ipv6 exthdrs offload registration are reversed,
from Anton Nayshtut.
17) Externally triggered ipv6 addrconf routes should count against the
garbage collection threshold. Fix from Sabrina Dubroca.
18) The PCI shutdown handler added to the bnx2 driver can wedge the
chip if it was not brought up earlier already, which in particular
causes the firmware to shut down the PHY. Fix from Michael Chan.
19) Adjust the sanity WARN_ON_ONCE() in qdisc_list_add() because as
currently coded it can and does trigger in legitimate situations.
From Eric Dumazet.
20) BNA driver fails to build on ARM because of a too large udelay()
call, fix from Ben Hutchings.
21) Fair-Queue qdisc holds locks during GFP_KERNEL allocations, fix
from Eric Dumazet.
22) The vlan passthrough ops added in the previous release causes a
regression in source MAC address setting of outgoing headers in
some circumstances. Fix from Peter Boström"
