====================
This is a big pull request for new features intended for the 3.10
stream...
Regarding mac80211, Johannes says:
"First, I merged mac80211/master to avoid some conflicts. This brings in
a bunch of fixes you're already familiar with. For real -next material,
I have a whole bunch of minstrel work, minstrel_ht from Felix and legacy
minstrel from Thomas (Huehn). The other Thomas (Pedersen) did a number
of changes in mesh to allow userspace peering management even when the
mesh isn't secured. Stanislaw changes suspend/resume to always
disconnect the networks. This is typically already done by
network-manager so won't make a huge difference for most users, but
fixes a number problems, particularly with USB drivers that can easily
disconnect while suspended. Ilan has a small change to allow mac80211
drivers to differentiate remain-on-channel reasons, and Jouni extends
nl80211 to allow fast roaming with full-MAC devices. I have a fairly
large number of patches as well, many of them fairly simple cleanups,
but also allowing split wiphy dumps and adding back the full wiphy
information in nl80211, station entry change checking and more VHT work
including VHT capability overrides (mostly for testing purposes)."
And for iwlwifi, Johannes says:
"Here, I also merged iwlwifi-fixes to avoid conflicts, and otherwise have
various cleanups and improvements on the MVM driver, along with a few
throughout the driver. Other than Bluetooth Coexistence from Emmanuel
there's no over-arching theme, so listing them would pretty much
reproduce the shortlog."
Regarding NFC, Samuel says:
"The 2 features we have with this one are:
- An LLCP Service Name Lookup (SNL) netlink interface for querying LLCP
service availability from user space.
Along the way, Thierry also improved the existing SNL interface for
aggregating SNL responses.
- An initial LLCP socket options implementation, for setting the Receive
Window (RW) and the Maximum Information Unit Extension (MIUX) per socket.
This is need for the LLCP validation tests.
We also have a microread MEI build failure here: I am not sending this one to
3.9 because the MEI bus code is not there yet, so it won't break for anyone
else than me."
And for ath6kl, Kalle says:
"I added tracing support to ath6kl, along with a new Kconfig option. Now
there's also a workaround to reset USB devices when the firmware upload
fails, this happened when host was warm rebooted. There are also quite a
few small fixes or cleanup."
On top of all that, there is the usual bundle of driver updates
with new features, new hardware support and the like mixed-in.
The ath9k, b43, brcmfmac, mwifiex, rt2800, and wil6210 drivers
are all well-represented, and a few other drivers are hit as well.
I also pulled-in the wireless fixes tree in order to resolve some
pending merge conflicts.
Please let me know if there are problems!

Use netdev_alloc_sk_ip_align in the case where packet is copied.
This handles case where NET_IP_ALIGN == 0 as well as adding required header
padding.

Drivers should reserve some headroom in skb used in receive path,
to avoid future head reallocation.
One possible way to do that is to use dev_alloc_skb() instead
of alloc_skb(), so that NET_SKB_PAD bytes are reserved.

Previously, if you did an "ifconfig down" or similar on one core, and
the kernel had CONFIG_XFRM enabled, every core would be interrupted to
check its percpu flow list for items that could be garbage collected.
With this change, we generate a mask of cores that actually have any
percpu items, and only interrupt those cores. When we are trying to
isolate a set of cpus from interrupts, this is important to do.

Revised bnx2x implementation of PCI Express Advanced Error Recovery -
stop and free driver resources according to the AER flow (instead of the
currently implemented `hope-for-the-best' release approach), and do not make
any assumptions on the HW state after slot reset.

Process connector can now also detect coredumping events.
Main aim of patch is get notified at start of coredumping, instead of
having to wait for it to finish and then being notified through EXIT
event.
Could be used for instance by process-managers that want to get
notified as soon as possible about process failures, and not
necessarily beeing notified after coredump, which could be in the
order of minutes depending on size of coredump, piping and so on.

The only place where gfar_configure_coalescing is called
with an actual bitmask (other than 0xff) is in gfar_poll
(on the hot path). So make gfar_configure_coalescing()
static for the buffer processing path, and export
gfar_configure_coalescing_all() for the remaining cases
that require to set coalescing for all the queues at once
(on the slow path).

For Multi Q Multi Group (MQ_MG_MODE) mode, the Rx/Tx colescing registers [rt]xic
are aliased with the [rt]xic0 registers (coalescing setting regs for Q0). This
avoids programming twice in a row the coalescing registers for the Rx/Tx hw Q0.

Split the napi budget fairly among the active queues only, instead
of dividing it by the total number of Rx queues assigned to the
given interrupt group.
Use the h/w indication field RXFi in rstat (receive status register)
to identify the active rx queues from the current interrupt group
(i.e. receive event occured on ring i, if ring i is part of the current
interrupt group). This indication field in rstat, RXFi i=0..7,
allows us to find out on which queues of the same interrupt group
do we have incomming traffic once we entered the polling routine for
the given interrupt group. After servicing the ring i, the corresponding
bit RXFi will be written with 1 to clear the active queue indication for
that ring.

There are 2 issues with the current napi poll routine, with regards
to tx ring cleanup:
1) for multi-queue devices (MQ_MG_MODE), should tx_bit_map != rx_bit_map,
which is possible (and supported in h/w) if the DT property "fsl,tx-bit-map"
holds a different value than rx_bit_map, the current polling routine will
service the wrong Tx queues in this case (i.e. the interrupt group will
receive interrupts from tx queues that it will not service)
2) Tx cleanup completion consumes napi budget, whereas the napi budget
should be reserved for Rx work only.
The patch fixes these issues and provides a clean napi polling routine.
Napi poll completion is reached when all the Rx queues have been
serviced and there is no Tx work to do.

It is very useful to do dynamic truncation of packets. In particular,
we're interested to push the necessary header bytes to the user space and
cut off user payload that should probably not be transferred for some reasons
(e.g. privacy, speed, or others). With the ancillary extension PAY_OFFSET,
we can load it into the accumulator, and return it. E.g. in bpfc syntax ...
ld #poff ; { 0x20, 0, 0, 0xfffff034 },
ret a ; { 0x16, 0, 0, 0x00000000 },
... as a filter will accomplish this without having to do a big hackery in
a BPF filter itself. Follow-up JIT implementations are welcome.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet for suggesting and discussing this during the
Netfilter Workshop in Copenhagen.

__skb_get_poff() returns the offset to the payload as far as it could
be dissected. The main user is currently BPF, so that we can dynamically
truncate packets without needing to push actual payload to the user
space and instead can analyze headers only.
