c82b9d7fe7 netxen: fix race in skb->len access
As soon as skb is given to hardware, TX completion can free skb under
us.
Therefore, we should update dev stats before kicking the device.

2f9381e984 gigaset: call module_put before restart of if_open()
if_open() calls try_module_get(), and after an attempt to lock a mutex
the if_open() function may return -ERESTARTSYS without
putting the module.  Then, when if_open() is executed again,
try_module_get() is called making the reference counter of THIS_MODULE
greater than one at successful exit from if_open().  The if_close()
function puts the module only once, and as a result it can't be
unloaded.

This patch adds module_put call before the return from if_open().

bebd097a0a tun: teach the tun/tap driver to support netpoll
Commit 8d8fc29d02 changed the behavior of slave
devices in regards to netpoll.  Specifically it created a mutually exclusive
relationship between being a slave and a netpoll-capable device.  This creates
problems for KVM because guests relied on needing netconsole active on a slave
device to a bridge.  Ideally libvirtd could just attach netconsole to the bridge
device instead, but thats currently infeasible, because while the bridge device
supports netpoll, it requires that all slave interface also support it, but the
tun/tap driver currently does not.  The most direct solution is to teach tun/tap
to support netpoll, which is implemented by the patch below.

I've not tested this yet, but its pretty straightforward.

ae6e86b7fb dp83640: drop PHY status frames in the driver.
The dp83640 PHY provides time stamp and other information via special
PHY status frames. Previously, the driver decoded the frames and then
let the network stack drop them. This works fine when the PTP messages
come over UDP.

However, when receiving PTP messages via L2 packets, this creates a
problem. The status frames use the official PTP destination MAC address,
and so they are delivered to user space along with the "real" frames,
causing confusion for applications.

This commit fixes the issue by simply dropping the PHY status frames
in the driver.

d40261236e net/usb: Add Samsung Kalmia driver for Samsung GT-B3730
Introducing driver for the network port of Samsung Kalmia based USB LTE modems.
It has also an ACM interface that previous patches associates with the "option"
module. To access those interfaces, the modem must first be switched from modem
mode using a tool like usb_modeswitch.

As the proprietary protocol has been discovered by watching the MS Windows driver
behavior, there might be errors in the protocol handling, but stable and fast
connection has been established for hours with Norwegian operator NetCom that
distributes this modem with their LTE/4G subscription.

More and updated information about how to use this driver is available here:

42b70a5f6d iwlagn: use cts-to-self protection on 5000 adapters series
This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.

These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:

vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946

This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:

patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683

However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:

wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out

On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:

iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: On demand firmware reload
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: Stopping AGG while state not ON or starting

374eeb5a9d bonding: reset queue mapping prior to transmission to physical device (v5)
The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy.  However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue

Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero.  This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.

v3) Fixed spelling an casting error in skb->cb

v4) fixed to store raw queue_mapping to avoid double decrement

v5) Eric D requested that ->cb access be wrapped in a macro.
