====================
To synchronize with Kalle, here's just a big change that affects
all drivers - removing the duplicated enum ieee80211_band and
replacing it by enum nl80211_band. On top of that, just a small
documentation update.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Multipath route lookups should consider knowledge about next hops and not
select a hop that is known to be failed.
Example:
[h2] [h3] 15.0.0.5
| |
3| 3|
[SP1] [SP2]--+
1 2 1 2
| | /-------------+ |
| \ / |
| X |
| / \ |
| / \---------------\ |
1 2 1 2
12.0.0.2 [TOR1] 3-----------------3 [TOR2] 12.0.0.3
4 4
\ /
\ /
\ /
-------| |-----/
1 2
[TOR3]
3|
|
[h1] 12.0.0.1
host h1 with IP 12.0.0.1 has 2 paths to host h3 at 15.0.0.5:
root@h1:~# ip ro ls
...
12.0.0.0/24 dev swp1 proto kernel scope link src 12.0.0.1
15.0.0.0/16
nexthop via 12.0.0.2 dev swp1 weight 1
nexthop via 12.0.0.3 dev swp1 weight 1
...
If the link between tor3 and tor1 is down and the link between tor1
and tor2 then tor1 is effectively cut-off from h1. Yet the route lookups
in h1 are alternating between the 2 routes: ping 15.0.0.5 gets one and
ssh 15.0.0.5 gets the other. Connections that attempt to use the
12.0.0.2 nexthop fail since that neighbor is not reachable:
root@h1:~# ip neigh show
...
12.0.0.3 dev swp1 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:1b REACHABLE
12.0.0.2 dev swp1 FAILED
...
The failed path can be avoided by considering known neighbor information
when selecting next hops. If the neighbor lookup fails we have no
knowledge about the nexthop, so give it a shot. If there is an entry
then only select the nexthop if the state is sane. This is similar to
what fib_detect_death does.
To maintain backward compatibility use of the neighbor information is
based on a new sysctl, fib_multipath_use_neigh.

Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"Fixes for some issues discovered after recent changes and for some
that have just been found lately regardless of those changes
(intel_pstate, intel_idle, PM core, mailbox/pcc, turbostat) plus
support for some new CPU models (intel_idle, Intel RAPL driver,
turbostat) and documentation updates (intel_pstate, PM core).
Specifics:
- intel_pstate fixes for two issues exposed by the recent switch over
from using timers and for one issue introduced during the 4.4 cycle
plus new comments describing data structures used by the driver
(Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- intel_idle fixes related to CPU offline/online (Richard Cochran).
- intel_idle support (new CPU IDs and state definitions mostly) for
Skylake-X and Kabylake processors (Len Brown).
- PCC mailbox driver fix for an out-of-bounds memory access that may
cause the kernel to panic() (Shanker Donthineni).
- New (missing) CPU ID for one apparently overlooked Haswell model in
the Intel RAPL power capping driver (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Fix for the PM core's wakeup IRQs framework to make it work after
wakeup settings reconfiguration from sysfs (Grygorii Strashko).
- Runtime PM documentation update to make it describe what needs to
be done during device removal more precisely (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
- Stale comment removal cleanup in the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh
Kumar).
- turbostat utility fixes and support for Broxton, Skylake-X and
Kabylake processors (Len Brown)"

Merge PAGE_CACHE_SIZE removal patches from Kirill Shutemov:
"PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The first patch with most changes has been done with coccinelle. The
second is manual fixups on top.
The third patch removes macros definition"
[ I was planning to apply this just before rc2, but then I spaced out,
so here it is right _after_ rc2 instead.
As Kirill suggested as a possibility, I could have decided to only
merge the first two patches, and leave the old interfaces for
compatibility, but I'd rather get it all done and any out-of-tree
modules and patches can trivially do the converstion while still also
working with older kernels, so there is little reason to try to
maintain the redundant legacy model. - Linus ]
