myri10ge: DCA update (resubmit)
This patch contains the following DCA improvements to myri10ge:
1) Finally move myri10ge to use dca3 API
2) Disable PCIe relaxed ordering when enabling DCA on
myri10ge. This provides a performance boost on Nehalem
based Xeons
3) Make sure to properly initialize NIC's DCA state when it is enabled,
rather than giving the NIC a bogus tag (0) and waiting for
the first received packet to trigger an update. Not using a
real tag can cause hardware exceptions on some motherboards
when a CPU socket is empty.
3) Always update the cached CPU when our interrupt affinity changes
so as to avoid excessive calls to dca3_get_tag()
um: Proper Fix for f25c80a4: remove duplicate structure field initialization
uml_net_set_mac() was broken and luckily it was never used, before.
What it was trying to do is spin_lock before memcopy the mac address.
Linus attempted to fix it in assumption that someone decided the
lock was needed. But since it was never ever used at all, and was
just dead code, I think we can assume that it is not needed, after
all.
On the other hand patch [f25c80a4] was trying to use eth_mac_addr()
in eth_configure(), *which was the real fallout*. Because of state
checks done inside eth_mac_addr() the address was never set. I have
not reintroduced the memcpy wrapper, but I've put a comment for future
cats.
The code now is back to exactly as it was before [f25c80a4]. With
the cleanup applied. If the spin_lock is indeed needed then a contender
should supply a test case that fails, then fix it with the proper
locking, as a separate unrelated patch.
AnyIP is the capability to receive packets and establish incoming
connections on IPs we have not explicitly configured on the machine.
An example use case is to configure a machine to accept all incoming
traffic on eth0, and leave the policy of whether traffic for a given IP
should be delivered to the machine up to the load balancer.
Can be setup as follows:
ip -6 rule from all iif eth0 lookup 200
ip -6 route add local default dev lo table 200
(in this case for all IPv6 addresses)

ipv4: Allow configuring subnets as local addresses
This patch allows a host to be configured to respond to any address in
a specified range as if it were local, without actually needing to
configure the address on an interface. This is done through routing
table configuration. For instance, to configure a host to respond
to any address in 10.1/16 received on eth0 as a local address we can do:
ip rule add from all iif eth0 lookup 200
ip route add local 10.1/16 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 table 200
This host is now reachable by any 10.1/16 address (route lookup on
input for packets received on eth0 can find the route). On output, the
rule will not be matched so that this host can still send packets to
10.1/16 (not sent on loopback). Presumably, external routing can be
configured to make sense out of this.
To make this work, we needed to modify the logic in finding the
interface which is assigned a given source address for output
(dev_ip_find). We perform a normal fib_lookup instead of just a
lookup on the local table, and in the lookup we ignore the input
interface for matching.
This patch is useful to implement IP-anycast for subnets of virtual
addresses.
net-2.6: SYN retransmits: Add new parameter to retransmits_timed_out()
Fixes kernel Bugzilla Bug 18952
This patch adds a syn_set parameter to the retransmits_timed_out()
routine and updates its callers. If not set, TCP_RTO_MIN is taken
as the calculation basis as before. If set, TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT is
used instead, so that sysctl_syn_retries represents the actual
amount of SYN retransmissions in case no SYNACKs are received when
establishing a new connection.
The WMM parameter configuration function (ieee80211_sta_wmm_params) only
configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set
counter value is changed by the AP.
The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure
the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but
currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration
function was called.
This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first
association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When
disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and
then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the
driver at all.
On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons,
but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly
configured.
Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before
ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.

ath5k: Check and fix ATIM window
This patch adds sanity-checks for the beacon timers and especially the ATIM
window to ath5k. It is basically the same what i did for madwifi two years ago
and fixes a problem in IBSS mode which has been described as "ramping" pings.
See the code comments for a more detailed description and these links:
David Miller complained about the driver's excessive use
of variables in __packed structs. While I did not fully
agree with his sole "performance" argument on all accounts.
I do see some room for improvement in hot-paths on
architectures without an efficient access to unaligned
elements.
This first patch (dare I say?) optimizes an important tx
hot-path in the driver: carl9170_tx_prepare.
This patch removes some cruft, which survived
the RFC review phase.
Originally, carl9170_tx_ampdu_queue erroneously
dropped a lot of frames. As a result the ampdu
scheduler bogged down quite frequently and the
affected BA session timed out.
However this bug has been fixed and the WA and
its debugfs counter is no longer useful.

When a STA enters normal (non-APSD) PS mode, any downlink
Block ACK agreement without an associated schedule is

mac80211: fix offchannel assumption upon association
Association is dealt with as an atomic offchannel operation,
we do this because we don't know we are associated until we
get the associatin response from the AP. When we do get the
associatin response though we were never clearing the offchannel
state. This has a few implications, we told drivers we were
still offchannel, and the first configured TX power for the
channel does not take into account any power constraints.
For ath9k this meant ANI calibration would not start upon
association, and we'd have to wait until the first bgscan
to be triggered. There may be other issues this resolves
but I'm too lazy to comb the code to check.
iwl3945: queue the right work if the scan needs to be aborted

This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in

as an error out.
The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if
iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false the done: branch is executed.

I'm not familiar with the driver at all.
I just quickly scanned as a reaction to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722

discrepancy between the comment above this instance and the comment in

tcp: fix TSO FACK loss marking in tcp_mark_head_lost
When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in
tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is
greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP
incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This
underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission.
This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets
lost.
moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for
some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong
since the optimisation this flag tried to make
requires that it is kept across the processing
of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for
flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the
optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under
some (common!) circumstances the flag will be
set on an already freed skb!
However, investigating this in more detail, I
found that most of the flags that we set should
be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to
a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used
for processing (currently just this one) need
to be reset before processing a new packet.
Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as
a result of the wrong flags handling (which is
not too surprising -- the only real bug case I
can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an
a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.
