====================
This time just passing along a big batch of fixes from Johannes...

For the mac80211 bits:

"Here I have fixes from Ben Greear for stray work items when deleting
interfaces, another idle handling fix from Felix, a fix from Marco ro a
mesh PS buffering crash and I have a fix for the VHT MCS calculation in
association request frames and more nl80211 feature advertising removal
as well as a workaround to increase the dump size if the SKB overhead is
too large. For 3.10 I already have a complete fix queued, but that also
requires (simple) userspace changes."

And for the iwlwifi bits:

"The patches from Dor fix a bunch of calibration issues in the new MVM
driver, and Emmanuel has a number of fixes there as well. Also, we
decided to disable 8k A-MSDU by default, so that's in there. My own
patches are addressing an issue we found with the new devices but that
seems to also exist on older ones, the DMA writeback the devices do can
be delayed and cause issues. The fix is unfortunately relatively large
and depends on two other changes (to not be hugely conflicting), but I
think it's still worth it at this point."

As Johannes says, it is a bit large.  But I hope it is still early
enough in the cycle to make that worthwhile.

      Ben Hutchings authored 
      efx_device_detach_sync() locks all TX queues before marking the device
detached and thus disabling further TX scheduling.  But it can still
be interrupted by TX completions which then result in TX scheduling in
soft interrupt context.  This will deadlock when it tries to acquire
a TX queue lock that efx_device_detach_sync() already acquired.

To avoid deadlock, we must use netif_tx_{,un}lock_bh().

      benet: Wait f/w POST until timeout · 66d29cbc
      Gavin Shan authored 
      While PCI card faces EEH errors, reset (usually hot reset) is
expected to recover from the EEH errors. After EEH core finishes
the reset, the driver callback (be_eeh_reset) is called and wait
the firmware to complete POST successfully. The original code would
return with error once detecting failure during POST stage. That
seems not enough.

The patch forces the driver (be_eeh_reset) to wait the firmware
completes POST until timeout, instead of returning error upon
detection POST failure immediately. Also, it would improve the
reliability of the EEH funtionality of the driver.

      net/ipv4: Timestamp option cannot overflow with prespecified addresses · fa2b04f4
      David Ward authored 
      When a router forwards a packet that contains the IPv4 timestamp option,
if there is no space left in the option for the router to add its own
timestamp, then the router increments the Overflow value in the option.

However, if the addresses of the routers are prespecified in the option,
then the overflow condition cannot happen: the option is structured so
that each prespecified router has a place to write its timestamp. Other
routers do not add a timestamp, so there will never be a lack of space.

This fix ensures that the Overflow value in the IPv4 timestamp option is
not incremented when the addresses of the routers are prespecified, even
if the Pointer value is greater than the Length value.

      reset nf before xmit vxlan encapsulated packet · 88c4c066
      Zang MingJie authored 
      We should reset nf settings bond to the skb as ipip/ipgre do.

If not, the conntrack/nat info bond to the origin packet may continually
redirect the packet to vxlan interface causing a routing loop.

this is the scenario:

     VETP     VXLAN Gateway
    /----\  /---------------\

    |  vx+--+vx --NAT-> eth0+--> Internet
    |    |  |               |
    \----/  \---------------/

when there are any packet coming from internet to the vetp, there will be lots
of garbage packets coming out the gateway's vxlan interface, but none actually
sent to the physical interface, because they are redirected back to the vxlan
interface in the postrouting chain of NAT rule, and dmesg complains:

      pkt_sched: sch_qfq: remove a useless invocation of qfq_update_eligible · 76e4cb0d
      Paolo Valente authored 
      QFQ+ can select for service only 'eligible' aggregates, i.e.,
aggregates that would have started to be served also in the emulated
ideal system.  As a consequence, for QFQ+ to be work conserving, at
least one of the active aggregates must be eligible when it is time to
choose the next aggregate to serve.

The set of eligible aggregates is updated through the function
qfq_update_eligible(), which does guarantee that, after its
invocation, at least one of the active aggregates is eligible.
Because of this property, this function is invoked in
qfq_deactivate_agg() to guarantee that at least one of the active
aggregates is still eligible after an aggregate has been deactivated.
In particular, the critical case is when there are other active
aggregates, but the aggregate being deactivated happens to be the only
one eligible.

However, this precaution is not needed for QFQ+ to be work conserving,
because update_eligible() is always invoked also at the beginning of
qfq_choose_next_agg(). This patch removes the additional invocation of
update_eligible() in qfq_deactivate_agg().

decide whether there is no eligible aggregate, QFQ+ must also check
whether there is no aggregate in service.

      pkt_sched: sch_qfq: prevent budget from wrapping around after a dequeue · a0143efa
      Paolo Valente authored 
      Aggregate budgets are computed so as to guarantee that, after an
aggregate has been selected for service, that aggregate has enough
budget to serve at least one maximum-size packet for the classes it
contains. For this reason, after a new aggregate has been selected
for service, its next packet is immediately dequeued, without any
further control.

The maximum packet size for a class, lmax, can be changed through
qfq_change_class(). In case the user sets lmax to a lower value than
the the size of some of the still-to-arrive packets, QFQ+ will
automatically push up lmax as it enqueues these packets.  This
automatic push up is likely to happen with TSO/GSO.

In any case, if lmax is assigned a lower value than the size of some
of the packets already enqueued for the class, then the following
problem may occur: the size of the next packet to dequeue for the
class may happen to be larger than lmax, after the aggregate to which
the class belongs has been just selected for service. In this case,
even the budget of the aggregate, which is an unsigned value, may be
lower than the size of the next packet to dequeue. After dequeueing
this packet and subtracting its size from the budget, the latter would
wrap around.

This fix prevents the budget from wrapping around after any packet
dequeue.

      pkt_sched: sch_qfq: serve activated aggregates immediately if the scheduler is empty · 2f3b89a1
      Paolo Valente authored 
      If no aggregate is in service, then the function qfq_dequeue() does
not dequeue any packet. For this reason, to guarantee QFQ+ to be work
conserving, a just-activated aggregate must be set as in service
immediately if it happens to be the only active aggregate.
This is done by the function qfq_enqueue().

Unfortunately, the function qfq_add_to_agg(), used to add a class to
an aggregate, does not perform this important additional operation.
In particular, if: 1) qfq_add_to_agg() is invoked to complete the move
of a class from a source aggregate, becoming, for this move, inactive,
to a destination aggregate, becoming instead active, and 2) the
destination aggregate becomes the only active aggregate, then this
aggregate is not however set as in service. QFQ+ remains then in a
non-work-conserving state until a new invocation of qfq_enqueue()
recovers the situation.

This fix solves the problem by moving the logic for setting an
aggregate as in service directly into the function qfq_activate_agg().
Hence, from whatever point qfq_activate_aggregate() is invoked, QFQ+
remains work conserving.  Since the more-complex logic of this new
version of activate_aggregate() is not necessary, in qfq_dequeue(), to
reschedule an aggregate that finishes its budget, then the aggregate
is now rescheduled by invoking directly the functions needed.

      pkt_sched: sch_qfq: fix the update of eligible-group sets · 624b85fb
      Paolo Valente authored 
      Between two invocations of make_eligible, the system virtual time may
happen to grow enough that, in its binary representation, a bit with
higher order than 31 flips. This happens especially with
TSO/GSO. Before this fix, the mask used in make_eligible was computed
as (1UL<<index_of_last_flipped_bit)-1, whose value is well defined on
a 64-bit architecture, because index_of_flipped_bit <= 63, but is in
general undefined on a 32-bit architecture if index_of_flipped_bit > 31.
The fix just replaces 1UL with 1ULL.

      pkt_sched: sch_qfq: properly cap timestamps in charge_actual_service · 9b99b7e9
      Paolo Valente authored 
      QFQ+ schedules the active aggregates in a group using a bucket list
(one list per group). The bucket in which each aggregate is inserted
depends on the aggregate's timestamps, and the number
of buckets in a group is enough to accomodate the possible (range of)
values of the timestamps of all the aggregates in the group. For this
property to hold, timestamps must however be computed correctly.  One
necessary condition for computing timestamps correctly is that the
number of bits dequeued for each aggregate, while the aggregate is in
service, does not exceed the maximum budget budgetmax assigned to the
aggregate.

For each aggregate, budgetmax is proportional to the number of classes
in the aggregate. If the number of classes of the aggregate is
decreased through qfq_change_class(), then budgetmax is decreased
automatically as well.  Problems may occur if the aggregate is in
service when budgetmax is decreased, because the current remaining
budget of the aggregate and/or the service already received by the
aggregate may happen to be larger than the new value of budgetmax.  In
this case, when the aggregate is eventually deselected and its
timestamps are updated, the aggregate may happen to have received an
amount of service larger than budgetmax.  This may cause the aggregate
to be assigned a higher virtual finish time than the maximum
acceptable value for the last bucket in the bucket list of the group.

This fix introduces a cap that addresses this issue.
