60b2251192 mac80211: reject extra IEs for probe request when hw_scan
We cannot currently hand off extra IEs to hw_scan, so reject
configuring extra IEs for probe request frames when hw_scan
is set.

5e13336248 mac80211: disable IBSS beacon before join
Before we have a probe response frame (which is used as the

572e001221 mac80211: use ps-poll when dynamic power save mode is disabled
When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save
ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is
disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by
adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is
set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more
data bit in the returned data frames.

Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more
power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either
ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic
power save.

1fb3606bc5 mac80211: remove multicast check from check_tim()
Currently mac80211 checks for the multicast tim bit from beacons,
disables power save and sends a null frame if the bit is set. This was
added to support ath9k. But this is a bit controversial because the AP will
send multicast frames immediately after the beacon and the time constraints
are really high. Relying mac80211 to be fast enough here might not be
reliable in all situations. And there's no need to send a null frame, AP
will send the frames immediately after the dtim beacon no matter what.

Also if dynamic power save is disabled (iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 0)
currently mac80211 disables power save whenever the multicast bit is set
but it's never enabled again after receiving the first multicast/broadcast
frame.

The current implementation is not usable on p54/stlc45xx and the
easiest way to fix this is to remove the multicast tim bit check
altogether. Handling multicast tim bit in host is rare, most of the
designs do this in firmware/hardware, so it's better not to have it in
mac80211. It's a lot better to do this in firmware/hardware, or if
that's not possible it could be done in the driver.

Also renamed the function to ieee80211_check_tim() to follow the style
of the file.

97d97b8098 mac80211: Fix the wrong WARN_ON message appearing on enabling power save.
This issue happens only when we are associated with a 11n AP and power save
is enabled. In the function 'ieee80211_master_start_xmit', ps_disable_work
is queued where wake_queues is called. But before this work is executed,
we check if the queues are stopped in _ieee80211_tx and return TX_AGAIN to
ieee8011_tx which leads to the warning message.
This patch fixes this erroneous case.

This crashed when an LRO packet generated by bnx2x reached a
tun device through the bridge.  We're supposed to drop it at
the bridge.  However, because the check was placed in br_forward
instead of __br_forward, it's only effective if we are sending
the packet through a single port.

This patch fixes it by moving the check into __br_forward.

47f4d8872f mac80211: do not TX injected frames when not allowed
Monitor mode is able to TX by using injected frames. We should
not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory
rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit
management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as
well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant
APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is
intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the
monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own
checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar
detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this
flag for monitor interfaces.

beeebc92ee 9p: fix endian issues [attempt 3]
When the changes were done to the protocol last release, some endian
bugs crept in.  This patch fixes those endian problems and has been
verified to run on 32/64 bit and x86/ppc architectures.

This version of the patch incorporates the correct annotations
for endian variables.

b4bd07c20b net_dma: call dmaengine_get only if NET_DMA enabled
Based upon a patch from Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>

--------------------
The commit 649274d993 ("net_dma:
acquire/release dma channels on ifup/ifdown") added unconditional call
of dmaengine_get() to net_dma.  The API should be called only if
NET_DMA was enabled.

2783ef2312 udp: Fix potential wrong ip_hdr(skb) pointers
Like the UDP header fix, pskb_may_pull() can potentially
alter the SKB buffer.  Thus the saddr and daddr, pointers
may point to the old skb->data buffer.

I haven't seen corruptions, as its only seen if the old
skb->data buffer were reallocated by another user and
written into very quickly (or poison'd by SLAB debugging).

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

56035022d8 gro: Fix frag_list merging on imprecisely split packets
The previous fix ad0f990444 (gro:
Fix handling of imprecisely split packets) only fixed the case
of frags merging, frag_list merging in the same circumstances
were still broken.

In particular, the packet headers end up in the data stream.

This patch fixes this plus another issue where an imprecisely
split packet header may be read incorrectly (this is mostly
harmless since it'll simply cause the packet to not match and
be rejected for GRO).

Thanks to Emil Tantilov and Jeff Kirsher for helping to track
this down.

The UDP header pointer assignment must happen after calling
pskb_may_pull().  As pskb_may_pull() can potentially alter the SKB
buffer.

This was exposted by running multicast traffic through the NIU driver,
as it won't prepull the protocol headers into the linear area on
receive.

4cc7f68d65 net: Reexport sock_alloc_send_pskb
The function sock_alloc_send_pskb is completely useless if not
exported since most of the code in it won't be used as is.  In
fact, this code has already been duplicated in the tun driver.

Now that we need accounting in the tun driver, we can in fact
use this function as is.  So this patch marks it for export again.
