Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting
for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution.  Most of the
time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet
before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next
command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a
case one of the following error messages appear in the log:

Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command.
Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command.
Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.

After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again.

This bug occurs during roaming (reported by Sam Varshavchik)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738508
and machine booting (reported by Tom Gundersen and Mads Kiilerich)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28097
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802106

This patch doesn't fix the delay issue during firmware load.
But at least device now works as usual after boot.

The 'ath9k_hw_update_regulatory_maxpower'
helper function has been introduced by
commit a55f8588
(ath9k_hw: Cleanup TX power calculation for AR9287).

Updating of the max_power_level value has been moved
into the helper function in that change, however the
removed code from 'ath9k_hw_ar9287_set_txpower' has
not been replaced with a call of the new helper
function.

Due to that missing call, retrieving tx power for 2x2
and 3x3 chainmask is not handled properly. During the
calculation of the tx power for 2x2 and 3x3 chainmasks
the values are reduced. Those reductions must be
compensated during retrieving.

Fix this by adding the missing call of the helper
function.

In order to unifying regulatory limit handling
commit ca2c68cc
(ath9k_hw: clean up tx power handling) introduced
a new helper function 'ath9k_hw_apply_txpower',
and the direct calls of 'ah->eep_ops->set_txpower'
has been replaced by a call of the helper function.

This caused a change in the behaviour of the
'ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit' function. The purpose
of that function is to calculate and store the
rate txpower table and the regulatory limit without
touching the hardware registers. Before the commit,
the 'test' parameter of the function was passed to
the 'ah->eep_ops->set_txpower'. Now the calling of
the 'set_txpower' function happens indirectly through
'ath9k_hw_apply_txpower', so the 'test' argument of
the 'set_txpower' is always 'false'.

This patch restores the original behaviour of
'ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit' by adding a new
argument to 'ath9k_hw_apply_txpower.'

bcma should check for a fallback sprom every time it can not find a
sprom on the card itself or a normal external sprom mapped into the
memory of the chip. When otp sprom support was introduced it tried to
read out the sprom from the wireless chip also if no otp sprom was
available. This caused a Data bus error in bcma_sprom_get() when
reading out the sprom for the SoC.

This fixes a regression introduced in commit:

The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

drivers/bcma/driver_pci_host.c:518:2: error: implicit declaration

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[3]: *** [drivers/bcma/driver_pci_host.o] Error 1

Most likey introduced by commit 49dc9577

    "bcma: add PCIe host controller"

Add the header instead of implicitly assuming it will be present.
Sounds like a good idea, but that alone doesn't fix anything.

The real problem is that the Kconfig has settings related to whether
PCI is possible, i.e.

  config BCMA_HOST_PCI_POSSIBLE
        bool
        depends on BCMA && PCI = y
        default y

  config BCMA_HOST_PCI
        bool "Support for BCMA on PCI-host bus"
        depends on BCMA_HOST_PCI_POSSIBLE

...but what is missing is that BCMA_DRIVER_PCI_HOSTMODE doesn't
have any dependencies on the above.  Add one.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

    missed in large dumps.

    Fix from Eric Dumazet.

11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
    invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't.  Let the natural sequence
    generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
    settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.

    Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
    effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.

    From Eric Dumazet.

12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
    socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
    cannot touch it after queueing it like that.

    Fixes from Eric Dumazet.

13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
    immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
    to transmit the PPP frame.

    But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
    TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.

    Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
    particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
    only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
    when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.

    David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
    it's downstream can't take data any more.
