commit 675ad47375c76a7c3be4ace9554d92cd55518ced
removed the capability to use ethtool.set_msglevel to
control the types of messages emitted by the driver.
That commit should probably be reverted.
If not, then this patch fixes a message logging defect
introduced by converting a printk without KERN_<level>
to e_info.
This also reduces text by about 200 bytes.

There is a small window where the watchdog could be running as the
interface is brought down on a NIC with two ports wired back to back.
If ixgbe_update_status is then called can lead to a panic. This patch
allows the update to bail if we are in that condition.
This issue was orignally reported and fix proposed by Akihiko Saitou.

RTNL held.

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.
For example,
vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers at all. However,
bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
and
bond0 -> ethx
will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.
This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging
skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the
skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add
logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it
is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This
makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers
a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves.
Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be
delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others
be dropped out right in the vlan path.
I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes.
# bond0 -> ethx
# vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
# bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
# bond0 -> ethx

Since commit cc772ab7cdcaa24d1fae332d92a1602788644f7a ("gianfar: Add
hardware RX timestamping support"), the driver no longer works on
at least MPC8313ERDB and MPC8568EMDS boards (and possibly much more
boards as well).
That's how MPC8313 Reference Manual describes RCTRL_TS_ENABLE bit:
Timestamp incoming packets as padding bytes. PAL field is set
to 8 if the PAL field is programmed to less than 8. Must be set
to zero if TMR_CTRL[TE]=0.
I see that the commit above sets this bit, but it doesn't handle
TMR_CTRL. Manfred probably had this bit set by the firmware for
his boards. But obviously this isn't true for all boards in the
wild.
Also, I recall that Freescale BSPs were explicitly disabling the
timestamping because of a performance drop.
For now, the best way to deal with this is just disable the
timestamping, and later we can discuss proper device tree bindings
and implement enabling this feature via some property.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.
This warning was reported by many, e.g. in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981,
but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame
instead of an association response.

ipmr_rules_exit() and ip6mr_rules_exit() free a list of items, but
forget to properly remove these items from list. List head is not
changed and still points to freed memory.
This can trigger a fault later when icmpv6_sk_exit() is called.
Fix is to either reinit list, or use list_del() to properly remove items
from list before freeing them.

Some configurations need delay between the "write completed" indication
and new write to work reliably.
Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete"
bit, so it waits long enough between writes with high probability (but
could probably break too). This patch adds a new udelay to make sure we
wait unconditionally some time after the write complete indication.
This caused a regression with XID 18000000 boards when the board specific
phy configuration writing many mdio registers was added in commit
2e955856ff (r8169: phy init for the 8169scd). Some of the configration
mdio writes would almost always fail, and depending on failure might leave
the PHY in non-working state.

Move the sysfs_create_group to iwl_ucode_callback after we
have safely got the firmware.
The motivation to do this comes from a warning from lockdep which detected
that we request priv->mutex while holding s_active during a sysfs request
(show_statistics in the example copy pasted). The reverse order exists upon
request_firmware: request_firmware which is a sysfs operation
that requires s_active is run under priv->mutex.
This ensures that we don't get sysfs request before we finish to request
the firmware, avoiding this deadlock.

I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table
(rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective.
Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer
from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN
packet is received for another session.
We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() :
sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash);
We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each
packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than
previous one.
-> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table.
Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket
lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock
and might use rxhash)
This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section,
and only for non LISTEN sockets.

When building a kernel with CONFIG_PM=y but neither suspend nor
hibernate support, the compiler complains about the static functions
ath5k_pci_suspend() and ath5k_pci_resume() not being used:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:713:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_suspend’ defined but not used
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:722:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_resume’ defined but not used
Depending on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP rather than CONFIG_PM fixes the issue.

Processing an association response could take a bit
of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that
time, the AP might already send a blockack request.
If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine,
we can end up processing the blockack request before
the association processing has finished. Since the
blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also
cannot make it wait in the driver.
As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn
driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass
when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc
setup completed.
I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves
queuing all blockack category action frames from a
work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver
callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the
code and make things easier.
However, this is a very involved and complex change.
To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be
backported to stable, I've come up with this patch.
Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames
from the managed interface skb queue, which means
their processing will be serialized with processing
the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

Return IXGBE_ERR_RAR_INDEX when RAR index is out of range, instead of
returning IXGBE_SUCCESS.

access skb->data safely
we should use skb_header_pointer() and skb_store_bits() to access skb->data to
handle small or non-linear skbs.
