====================
This probably is the last big pull request for wireless bits
for 3.9. Of course, I'm sure there will be a few stragglers here
and there...surely a few bug fixes as well... :-) (In fact, I see
that Johannes has already queued-up a few more for me while I was
preparing this...)
Included are a number of pulls...
For mac80211-next, Johannes says:
"The biggest change I have is undoubtedly Marco's mesh powersave
implementation. Beyond that, I have a patch from Emmanuel to modify the
DTIM period API in mac80211, scan improvements and a removal of some
previous workaround code from Stanislaw, dynamic short slot time from
Thomas and 64-bit station byte counters from Vladimir. I also made a
number of changes myself, some related to WoWLAN, some auth/deauth
improvements and most of them BSS list cleanups."
"This time, I have relatively large number of fixes in various areas of
the code (a memory leak in regulatory, an RX race in mac80211, the new
radar checking caused a P2P device problem, some mesh issues with
stations, an older bug in tracing and for kernel-doc) as well as a
number of small new features. The biggest (in the diffstat) is my work
on hidden SSID tracking."
"Please pull to get
* radar detection work from Simon
* mesh improvements from Thomas
* a connection monitoring/powersave fix from Wojciech
* TDLS-related station management work from Jouni
* VLAN crypto fixes from Michael Braun
* CCK support in minstrel_ht from Felix
* an SMPS (not SMSP, oops) related improvement in mac80211 (Emmanuel)
* some WoWLAN work from Amitkumar Karwar: pattern match offset and a
documentation fix
* some WoWLAN work from myself (TCP connection wakeup feature API)
* and a lot of VHT (and some HT) work (also from myself)
And a number of more random cleanups/fixes. I merged mac80211/master to
avoid a merge problem there."
And regarding iwlwifi-next, Johannes says:
"We continue work on our new driver, but I also have a WoWLAN and AP mode
improvement for the previous driver and a change to use threaded
interrupts to prepare us for working with non-PCIe devices."
Regarding wl12xx, Luca says:
"A few more patches intended for 3.9. Mostly some clean-ups I've been
doing to make it easier to support device-tree. Also including one bug
fix for wl12xx where the rates we advertise were wrong and an update in
the wlconf structure to support newer firmwares."
For the nfc-next bits, Samuel says:
"This is the second NFC pull request for 3.9.
We have:
- A few pn533 fixes on top of Waldemar refactorization of the driver, one of
them fixes target mode.
- A new driver for Inside Secure microread chipset. It supports two
physical layers: i2c and MEI. The MEI one depends on a patchset that's
been sent to Greg Kroah-Hartman for inclusion into the 3.9 kernel [1]. The
dependency is a KConfig one which means this code is not buildable as long
as the MEI API is not usptream."
"This 3rd NFC pull request for 3.9 contains a fix for the microread MEI
physical layer support, as the MEI bus API changed.
From the MEI code, we now pass the MEI id back to the driver probe routine,
and we also pass a name and a MEI id table through the mei_bus_driver
structure. A few renames as well like e.g. mei_bus_driver to mei_driver or
mei_bus_client to mei_device in order to be closer to the driver model
practices."
For the ath6kl bits, Kalle says:
"There's not anything special here, most of the patches are just code
cleanup. The only functional changes are using the beacon interval from user
space and fixing a crash which happens when inserting and removing the
module in a loop."
Also, I pulled the wireless tree in order to resolve some pending
merge issues. On top of that, there is a bunch of work on brcmfmac
that leads up to P2P support. Also, mwifiex, rtlwifi, and a variety
of other drivers see some basic cleanups and minor enhancements.
Please let me know if there are problems!

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.
this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.
It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

CPDMA interrupts are not properly acknowledged which leads to interrupt
storm, only cpdma interrupt 0 is acknowledged in Davinci CPDMA driver.
Changed cpdma_ctlr_eoi api to acknowledge 1 and 2 interrupts which are
used for rx and tx respectively.

Upper case macros for various chip attributes are slightly
difficult to read and are a bit out of characterto the other
tg3_<foo> attribute functions.
Convert:
GET_ASIC_REV(tp->pci_chip_rev_id) -> tg3_asic_rev(tp)
GET_CHIP_REV(tp->pci_chip_rev_id) -> tg3_chip_rev(tp)
Remove:
GET_METAL_REV(tp->pci_chip_rev_id) -> tg3_metal_rev(tp) (unused)
Add:
tg3_chip_rev_id(tp) for tp->pci_chip_rev_id so access styles
are similar to tg3_asic_rev and tg3_chip_rev.
These macros are not converted to static inline functions
because gcc (tested with 4.7.2) is currently unable to
optimize the object code it produces the same way and code
is otherwise larger.

====================
This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e, igb, igbvf and ixgbe.
The e1000, e1000e, igb and igbvf are single patch changes and the
remaining 11 patches are all against ixgbe.
The e1000 patch is a comment cleanup to align e1000 with the code
commenting style for /drivers/net. It also contains a few other white
space cleanups (i.e. fix lines over 80 char, remove unnecessary blank
lines and fix the use of tabs/spaces).
The e1000e patch from Koki (Fujitsu) adds a warning when link speed is
downgraded due to SmartSpeed.
The igb patch from Stefan (Red Hat) increases the timeout in the ethtool
offline self-test because some i350 adapters would sometimes fail the
self-test because link auto negotiation may take longer than the current
4 second timeout.
The igbvf patch from Alex is meant to address several race issues that
become possible because next_to_watch could possibly be set to a value
that shows that the descriptor is done when it is not. In order to correct
that we instead make next_to_watch a pointer that is set to NULL during
cleanup, and set to the eop_desc after the descriptor rings have been written.
The remaining patches for ixgbe are a mix of fixes and added support as well
as some cleanup. Most notably is the added support for displaying the
number of Tx/Rx channels via ethtool by Alex. Also Aurélien adds the
ability for reading data from SFP+ modules over i2c for diagnostic
monitoring.

Two relatively small cleanup patches here, plus a reimplementation
of the patch Neil had questions about[1] in the last development

Tested on today's net-next, between 32 and 64 bit x86 machines using

Recent changes have made it so that MAX_SKB_FRAGS is now never less than 16.
As a result we were seeing issues on systems with 64K pages as it would
cause DESC_NEEDED to increase to 68, and we would need over 136 descriptors
free before clean_tx_irq would wake the queue.
This patch makes it so that DESC_NEEDED is always MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 4. This
should prevent any possible deadlocks on the systems with 64K pages as we will
now only require 42 descriptors to wake.
