c1a8f1f1c8 net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition
In 5e140dfc1f "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.

Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.

Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)

Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

c6ba973b8f NETROM: Fix use of static buffer
The static variable used by nr_call_to_digi might result in corruption if
multiple threads are trying to usee a node or neighbour via ioctl.  Fixed
by having the caller pass a structure in.  This is safe because nr_add_node
rsp. nr_add_neigh will allocate a permanent structure, if needed.

8cdb045632 gre: Fix MTU calculation for bound GRE tunnels
The GRE header length should be subtracted when the tunnel MTU is
calculated.  This just corrects for the associativity change

416fbdff21 mac80211: fix panic when splicing unprepared TIDs
We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID
onto the local pending queue when tearing down a
block ack request. This is not necessary unless we
actually have received a request to start a block ack
request (rate control, for example). If we never received
that request we should not be splicing the tid pending
queue as it would be null, causing a panic.

Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the
tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set,
that will require some further review as it is not quite
obvious.

For more information see the bug report:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13922

This fixes this oops:

e694958388 Make sock_sendpage() use kernel_sendpage()
kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.

Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the
protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols.
Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not
likely.

it's using an zero-initialized spinlock. This is a side-effect of:

        dev_unicast_init(dev);

in alloc_netdev_mq() making use of dev->addr_list_lock.

The device has just been allocated freshly, it's not accessible
anywhere yet so no locking is needed at all - in fact it's wrong
to lock it here (the lock isnt initialized yet).

371842448c cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature
A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:

"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"

We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.

By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.

Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.

We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.

This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.

I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.
