John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.14 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"I have various improvements/cleanups/fixes all over, but the shortlog
shows that Luis's regulatory work and mesh work from the cozybit folks
are the biggest ones, along with the CSA fixes."
Along with that, we have big batches of updates to brcmfmac, rtlwifi,
and ath9k. There are updates to wcn36xx, rt2x00, and a handful of
others as well.

With the introduction of TCP Small Queues, TSO auto sizing, and TCP
pacing, we can implement Automatic Corking in the kernel, to help
applications doing small write()/sendmsg() to TCP sockets.
Idea is to change tcp_push() to check if the current skb payload is
under skb optimal size (a multiple of MSS bytes)
If under 'size_goal', and at least one packet is still in Qdisc or
NIC TX queues, set the TCP Small Queue Throttled bit, so that the push
will be delayed up to TX completion time.
This delay might allow the application to coalesce more bytes
in the skb in following write()/sendmsg()/sendfile() system calls.
The exact duration of the delay is depending on the dynamics
of the system, and might be zero if no packet for this flow
is actually held in Qdisc or NIC TX ring.
Using FQ/pacing is a way to increase the probability of
autocorking being triggered.
Add a new sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_autocorking) to control
this feature and default it to 1 (enabled)
Add a new SNMP counter : nstat -a | grep TcpExtTCPAutoCorking
This counter is incremented every time we detected skb was under used
and its flush was deferred.
Tested:
Interesting effects when using line buffered commands under ssh.
Excellent performance results in term of cpu usage and total throughput.

When running in a network namespace whose only link to the outside
world is a macvlan device, not being able to create a macvtap off of
it is a real pain.
So modify macvtap creation to automatically forward a creation of a
macvtap on a macvlan to become a creation of a macvtap on the
underlying network device, just like is currently done with
macvlan-on-macvlan devices.
v2: Use netif_is_macvlan and macvlan_dev_real_dev helpers to make it
more clear what we're doing.

John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull this batch of fixes intende for the 3.13 stream!
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"For now I have various fixes all over, mostly for issues introduced in
relatively recent patches. There's no real pattern to it. Some of the
issues like go back longer, but still seemed 3.13 material."
And...
"These are just two patches disabling the broken CSA code. Once this
goes into your tree I'll merge it into mac80211-next and revert there
(since we fixed the bugs there)."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"I have here a few fixes for BT Coex. One of them is a NULL pointer
dereference. Another one avoids to enable a feature that can make the
firmware unhappy since the firmware isn't ready for it yet. WE also
avoid a WARNING that can be triggered upon association in not-so-bad
cases even if the association succeeded. We add support for new NICs
(not yet on the market) and bump the API so that 3.13 will be able to
work with the new firmware that will be out soon hopefully.
I also have a boundary check from Johannes."
In addition to those...
- Arend van Spriel fixes a brcmfmac problem that could use an
uninitialized variable in an error path.
- Borislav Petkov fixes a Kconfig-based build breakage problem for
brcmsmac.
- Michal Nazarewicz fixes a couple of NULL pointer dereference problems
in ath9k and wcn36xx.
- Sujith Manoharan fixes a couple of ath9k problems related to
incorrect interpretation of EEPROM configuration data.
- Ujjal Roy fixes a memory leak in mwifiex.

As it stands dynamic user regulatory domain support is
only possible for a few programmed regulatory domains as
a few countries do not allow for this.
The existing code however only would take advantage of
the feature if a custom world regulatory domain is used
though as that's when we clear beconing flags. We need
to lift this restriction as otherwise this feature is
pointless.

The routine ath_reg_apply_active_scan_flags() can be a bit
hard to read, this cleans it up by adding helpers for the
two cases of clearing IR flags or adding them. This approach
also makes no assumptions on the index of channels 12 and 13
so it should be portable accross different drivers.

The existing logic removes the passive scan flag from
channels 12 and 13 when a regulatory hint coming from
something other than a country IE has been passed. This
is incorrect, the original intention was to ensure we
always have passive scan enabled for these two channels
for a specific set of custom world regulatory domains.
