ff25839bf0 wl12xx: cmd and acx interface rework
Rework cmd and acx interfaces, it was just too confusing earlier. Now
all commands need to contain all the needed headers, either just cmd
headers or both cmd and acx headers. This accomplish to remove the
extra copy done for each command. The interfaces are now properly
documented as well.

Also try to make all commands safe for DMA transfers. I might have missed
some, but most of them should be fixed now.

And this is not all! As a free bonus you will also get some cosmetic
cleanups and code reorganisation. Order today!

e0d6133cba libertas: remove ps_supported flag, use fwcapinfo
Power save support depends on the firmware capabilities rather than the
card's hardware interface.  Use the FW_CAPINFO_PS bit in the firmware
capabilities mask throughout the driver in place of the redundant
ps_supported flag and don't make decisions about PS support in the
interface drivers (with the exception of a special case in the USB
driver).

V2: put the USB special case in the right place.

e594e96e8a cxgb3: Fix crash caused by stashing wrong netdev_queue
Commit c3a8c5b6 ("cxgb3: move away from LLTX") exposed a bug in how
cxgb3 looks up the netdev_queue it stashes away in a qset during
initialization.  For multiport devices, the TX queue index it uses is
offset by the first_qset index of each port.  This leads to a crash
once LLTX is removed, since hard_start_xmit is called with one TX
queue lock held, while the TX reclaim timer task grabs a different
(wrong) TX queue lock when it frees skbs.

Fix this by removing the first_qset offset used to look up the TX
queue passed into t3_sge_alloc_qset() from setup_sge_qsets().

8faa2a786a ixgbe: Fix coexistence of FCoE and Flow Director in 82599
Fix coexistence of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Flow Director (FDIR)
in 82599 and remove the disabling of FDIR when FCoE is enabled.

Currently, FDIR is turned off when FCoE is enabled under the assumption that
FCoE is always enabled with DCB being turned on. However, FDIR does not have
to be turned off all the time when FCoE is enabled since FCoE can be enabled
without DCB being turned on, e.g., use link pause only. This patch makes sure
that when DCB is turned on or off, FDIR is turned on or off correspondingly;
and when FCoE is enabled, it does not disable FDIR, rather, it will have FDIR
set up properly so FCoE and FDIR can coexist regardless of DCB being on or off.

47ab3840a3 p54: tx refused but queue active
In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can
become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure
is expressed by the following message in the logs:

WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
tx refused but queue active

This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where
a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX,
but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure.

804ef71ee1 Atheros Kconfig needs to be dependent on WLAN_80211
Atheros top level menu needs a "depends WLAN_80211" to properly indent
within menuconfig and xconfig interfaces.

This is purely a visual issue but it effects all subsequent drivers.
The issue is the top level menu does not include a dependency on
WLAN_80211 so within the tree structure, Atheros is at the same level as
WLAN_80211 but when WLAN_80211 collapsed, the menu disappears along with
all subsequent drives, so it is really a subordinate.

Scanning is OK but association does not work, we get "direct probe to AP xxx timed out"

It appears that this simple patch makes the device work perfectly.

This id was already there in initial import of the driver so I don't know if it has ever been
working as ZD1211 (which would mean they changed it and kept the id :( ).

cbfe89c67b ath9k: Fix leak in tx descriptor
When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
following two issues.

1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
due to shortage in tx desc.

2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().

This patch fixes these two issues.

5dcc60b718 dm9000: add checksum offload support
Add checksum offload support for DM9000A and DM9000B chips.

v2 changes: added a local copy of ip_summed to save IO cycles in dm9000_send_packet
v3 changes: trans_start updating is removed.

b7cb8c2c82 e1000: fix flow control thresholds
when testing the jumbo frames with pages patch, the stats would
show rx_missed errors (dropped packets) even when connected to a
link partner with flow control enabled.

this indicates that for this MTU (9000) the flow control
thresholds are not adjusting correctly.

In fact, before this change, the FCRTH (xoff threshold) is 36864
when the fifo size is only 40000, with 9000 byte MTU.

fix it so that we at least have room for one frame after we send
the xoff.

edbbb3ca10 e1000: implement jumbo receive with partial descriptors
This is code extremely similar to what is committed in e1000e
already.

e1000 will no longer request 32kB slab buffers to support jumbo
frames on PCI/PCI-X adapters.  This will significantly reduce the
likelyhood of order:3 allocation failures.

This new code adds support for using pages as receive buffers,
and the driver will chain multiple pages together to build a
jumbo frame for OS consumption.

The hardware takes a power of two buffer size and will
dump as much data as it can receive into 1 or more buffers.

The benefits of applying this are
1) stop akpm's dissing :-) of this lame e1000 behavior [1]
2) more efficient memory allocation (half) when using jumbo
   frames, which will also allow for much better socket utilization
   with jumbos since the socket is charged for the full allocation
   of each receive buffer, regardless of how much is used.
3) this was a feature request by a customer
4) copybreak for small packets < 256 bytes still applies

94c9e5a893 e1000: allow ethtool coalesece to adjust interrupts per second
This patch allows on-the-fly adjustment of the interrupts per second generated
by e1000 devices 82545/82546 (hardware support of ITR register is a
requirement)

adjust using this command:
ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 10

where 10 is 10 microseconds per interrupt interval, so 10 = 100,000 interrupts
per second, and 125 = 8000 interrupts per second.

changes should be immediate.

1,3 are special values and indicate the automatic tuning mode to the driver,
where 1 is 4000-90000 interrupts per second and 3 is 4000-20000 interrupts
per second and is the driver default.
