cnic: Fix the type field in SPQ messages
The new firmware interface requires each Slow Path Queue (SPQ) message's
type field to include the function number. The existing code does not
do this consistently. We fix this by OR'ing in the function number
into the type field centrally in cnic_submit_kwqe_16().
That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may
return a non-zero value on error.
In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no
security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative
value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L'
outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the
aforementioned function fails.
This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation
if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is
also wrong.

ipv4: IP defragmentation must be ECN aware
RFC3168 (The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP)
states :
5.3. Fragmentation
ECN-capable packets MAY have the DF (Don't Fragment) bit set.
Reassembly of a fragmented packet MUST NOT lose indications of
congestion. In other words, if any fragment of an IP packet to be
reassembled has the CE codepoint set, then one of two actions MUST be
taken:
* Set the CE codepoint on the reassembled packet. However, this
MUST NOT occur if any of the other fragments contributing to
this reassembly carries the Not-ECT codepoint.
* The packet is dropped, instead of being reassembled, for any
other reason.
This patch implements this requirement for IPv4, choosing the first
action :
If one fragment had NO-ECT codepoint
reassembled frame has NO-ECT
ElIf one fragment had CE codepoint
reassembled frame has CE

net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()
Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.
He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0233 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.
Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.
Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.
Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test

net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem
commit 57dbb2d83d100ea (sched: add head drop fifo queue)
introduced pfifo_head_drop, and broke the invariant that
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are COUNTER (increasing
counters only)
This can break estimators because est_timer() handles unsigned deltas
only. A decreasing counter can then give a huge unsigned delta.
My mid term suggestion would be to change things so that
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are incremented in dequeue()
only, not at enqueue() time. We also could add drop_bytes/drop_packets
and provide estimations of drop rates.
It would be more sensible anyway for very low speeds, and big bursts.
Right now, if we drop packets, they still are accounted in byte/packets
abolute counters and rate estimators.
Before this mid term change, this patch makes pfifo_head_drop behavior
similar to other qdiscs in case of drops :
Dont decrement sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets

* Adds latency in roaming

<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html>
=>
What if the reorder release triggers and ap_sta_ps_end
(called by ieee80211_rx_h_sta_process) accidentally clears
the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag, because 100ms ago - when the STA
was still active - frames were put into the reorder buffer.
Fix some pointer errors in the various calls to memcpy, memset and memmove.
Although none of these errors are fatal (the expression used now results in
the same pointer value) it is better to use the proper expression.
All errors are having to deal with arrays.
When DRIVER_REQUIRE_TXSTATUS_FIFO is set, intialize the
txstatus_fifo, but initialize rt2x00dev->txstatus_tasklet
only when both DRIVER_REQUIRE_TXSTATUS_FIFO and
rt2x00dev->ops->lib->txstatus_tasklet are set.
This allows the txstatus_fifo to be used by rt2800usb which
does not use txstatus_tasklet.
This patch revamps some common code-paths which are
shared between (re-)initialization and suspend/resume
subroutines. It also adds some helpful comments
about quirks and associated difficulties.
It's quite big, but it should fix #25382:
<https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25382>
And hopefully the code is robust enough to deal with
all possible suspend/resume scenarios without requiring
the user to do any sort of manual and possibly
dangerous work.
By removing two "safety" msleeps (and an echo nop), the
channel change delay is effectively halved. Previously,
the delay could be as long as 260 ms and the device
could not go off-channel without risking to miss the
next DTIM beacon [interval ~307 ms].

Modify atl1_set_ringparam() to preserve SMB and CMB when changing ring
parameters.
This implements 64 bit statistics support and fixes races when reading
counter values. The PHY counters can only be accessed 16 bits at a time,
so they are subject to carry races.
NB:
* TX/RX counters are maintained in software because the the hardware packet count
is only a 32 bit value.
* Error counters are really only 32 bit.
* Old 32 bit counter fields in dev->stats still used for some
