These aren't used anywhere (hostapd, wpa_supplicant) and until we
have a proper interface to the rate control algorithms they don't
make much sense either since e.g. rc80211_lowest won't honour them.

Switch from formatting messages in probe routine and copying with
kfifo, to using a small circular queue of information and formatting
on read. This avoids wraparound issues with kfifo, and saves one
copy.
Also make sure to state correct license, rather than copying off some
other driver I started with.

All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
takes the rtnl itself completely useless.
Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and
rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and
change the existing users to take advantage of that.

The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address
differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice,
but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real
device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when
the vlan device is still down.
Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly
deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to
dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling).
Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one
with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup().

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the

Throw out the old mark & sweep garbage collector and put in a
refcounting cycle detecting one.
The old one had a race with recvmsg, that resulted in false positives
and hence data loss. The old algorithm operated on all unix sockets
in the system, so any additional locking would have meant performance
problems for all users of these.
The new algorithm instead only operates on "in flight" sockets, which
are very rare, and the additional locking for these doesn't negatively
impact the vast majority of users.
In fact it's probable, that there weren't *any* heavy senders of
sockets over sockets, otherwise the above race would have been
discovered long ago.
The patch works OK with the app that exposed the race with the old
code. The garbage collection has also been verified to work in a few
simple cases.

It should, but the < 0 case can't happen since __udp4_lib_rcv
already makes sure that we have at least a complete UDP header.
