====================
Please pull this batch of updates for the 3.14 stream!

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"This time I have uAPSD fixes since I was working on that, hwsim
improvements to make dynamic radios possible for the test suite, the
evidently long-overdue channel_change_time removal and a few other small
collected fix and improvements."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"Besides a few trivial patches, I have an important workaround for a HW
issue that has kept me busy for a long time. Along with it, a fix that
prevents an error from being printed.
Eyal fixes our behavior against SISO APs and Ilan fixes an issue with
multiple interface scenarios.
Eliad fixes an error path in our init flow.
We also have a few 'static analyzers' fix."

For the NFC bits, Samuel says:

"It includes:

* A new NFC driver for Marvell's 8897, and a few NCI fixes and
  improvements needed to support this chipset.

* An LLCP fix for how we were setting the default MIU on a p2p link. If
  there is no explicit MIU extension announced at connection time, we
  must use the default one and not the one announced at LLCP link
  establishement time.

* A pn544 EEPROM config update. Some of the currently EEPROM configured
  values are overwriting the firmware ones while other should not be set
  by the driver itself.

* Some NFC digital stack fixes and improvements. Asynchronous functions
  are better documented, RF technologies and CRC functions are set upon
  PSL_REQ reception, and a few minor bugs are fixed.

* Minor and miscelaneous pn533, mei_phy and port100 fixes."

For the ath bits, Kalle says:

"Janusz added Kconfig option for DFS. The DFS code was there already, but
after fixes to mac80211 we can now enable it.

Bartosz added a runtime firmware feature flag to disable P2P. Our 10.1
firmware branch doesn't support P2P and ath10k can now disable that. He
also added a limit for how many clients can connect to ath10k AP.

Michal fixed WEP shared authentication, in case someone still uses it.
And I added firmware debug log to help the firmware engineers."

Along with that is a small batch of ath9k updates and a few other bits
here and there.

virtio-net: mergeable rx buffer size auto-tuning

The virtio-net device currently uses aligned MTU-sized mergeable receive
packet buffers. Network throughput for workloads with large average
packet size can be improved by posting larger receive packet buffers.
However, due to SKB truesize effects, posting large (e.g, PAGE_SIZE)
buffers reduces the throughput of workloads that do not benefit from GRO
and have no large inbound packets.

This patchset introduces virtio-net mergeable buffer size auto-tuning,
with buffer sizes ranging from aligned MTU-size to PAGE_SIZE. Packet
buffer size is chosen based on a per-receive queue EWMA of incoming
packet size.

To unify mergeable receive buffer memory allocation and improve
SKB frag coalescing, all mergeable buffer memory allocation is
migrated to per-receive queue page frag allocators.

The per-receive queue mergeable packet buffer size is exported via
sysfs, and the network device sysfs layer has been extended to add
support for device-specific per-receive queue sysfs attribute groups.

Commit 2613af0e ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag
allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE to
MTU-size, introducing a single-stream regression for benchmarks with large
average packet size. There is no single optimal buffer size for all
workloads.  For workloads with packet size <= MTU bytes, MTU + virtio-net
header-sized buffers are preferred as larger buffers reduce the TCP window
due to SKB truesize. However, single-stream workloads with large average
packet sizes have higher throughput if larger (e.g., PAGE_SIZE) buffers
are used.

This commit auto-tunes the mergeable receiver buffer packet size by
choosing the packet buffer size based on an EWMA of the recent packet
sizes for the receive queue. Packet buffer sizes range from MTU_SIZE +
virtio-net header len to PAGE_SIZE. This improves throughput for
large packet workloads, as any workload with average packet size >=
PAGE_SIZE will use PAGE_SIZE buffers.

These optimizations interact positively with recent commit
ba275241 ("virtio-net: coalesce rx frags when possible during rx"),
which coalesces adjacent RX SKB fragments in virtio_net. The coalescing
optimizations benefit buffers of any size.

Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs
between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs
with all offloads & vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a
single 4 CPU cgroup cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes
in the system will not be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Trunk includes
SKB rx frag coalescing.

The virtio-net driver currently uses netdev_alloc_frag() for GFP_ATOMIC
mergeable rx buffer allocations. This commit migrates virtio-net to use
per-receive queue page frags for GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This change unifies
mergeable rx buffer memory allocation, which now will use skb_refill_frag()
for both atomic and GFP-WAIT buffer allocations.

To address fragmentation concerns, if after buffer allocation there
is too little space left in the page frag to allocate a subsequent
buffer, the remaining space is added to the current allocated buffer
so that the remaining space can be used to store packet data.

tipc: align TIPC behaviours of waiting for events with other stacks

Comparing the current implementations of waiting for events in TIPC
socket layer with other stacks, TIPC's behaviour is very different
because wait_event_interruptible_timeout()/wait_event_interruptible()
are always used by TIPC to wait for events while relevant socket or
port variables are fed to them as their arguments. As socket lock has
to be released temporarily before the two routines of waiting for
events are called, their arguments associated with socket or port
structures are out of socket lock protection. This might cause
serious issues where the process of calling socket syscall such as
sendsmg(), connect(), accept(), and recvmsg(), cannot be waken up
at all even if proper event arrives or improperly be woken up
although the condition of waking up the process is not satisfied
in practice.

Therefore, aligning its behaviours with similar functions implemented
in other stacks, for instance, sk_stream_wait_connect() and
inet_csk_wait_for_connect() etc, can avoid above risks for us.

correct event arrives or it is woken up improperly even if the wake

It looks like there's no need for those two fields:

  equal to the vring size.
- rq->num is only used to determine the condition that we need to do the refill,
  we could check vq->num_free instead.
- rq->num was required to be increased or decreased explicitly after each
  get/put which results a bad API.

So this patch removes them both to make the code simpler.

a primary_slave but have params.primary set - we will not detected a new

Fix this by catching the NETDEV_CHANGENAME event and setting primary_slave
accordingly. Also, if the primary_slave was changed, issue a reselection of

This might be quite costly and messy, so use the new NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU to
catch the MTU change before the actual change happens and signal that it's
forbidden to do it.

Currently, if a device changes its mtu, first the change happens (invloving
all the side effects), and after that the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is sent so that
other devices can catch up with the new mtu. However, if they return
NOTIFY_BAD, then the change is reverted and error returned.

This is a really long and costy operation (sometimes). To fix this, add
NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU notification which is called prior to any change
actually happening, and if any callee returns NOTIFY_BAD - the change is
aborted. This way we're skipping all the playing with apply/revert the mtu.

faster machines usually complete after ~2140 iterations which is bigger
than 2048 (MAC_DEF_TIMEOUT) and results in spurious timeouts depending
on the system load.

Update r6040_phy_read() and r6040_phy_write() to include a 1

much safer operation than incrementing MAC_DEF_TIMEOUT.

a very strong inidicator of whether the flow is going to be matched,

Use skb_hash_raw so that we don't force the hash to be calculated.

In PF_PACKET's packet mmap(), we can avoid using one atomic_inc()
and one atomic_dec() call in skb destructor and use a percpu
reference count instead in order to determine if packets are
still pending to be sent out. Micro-benchmark with [1] that has
been slightly modified (that is, protcol = 0 in socket(2) and
bind(2)), example on a rather crappy testing machine; I expect
it to scale and have even better results on bigger machines:

In function tpacket_snd(), it is okay to use packet_read_pending()
since in fast-path we short-circuit the condition already with
ph != NULL, since we have next frames to process. In case we have
MSG_DONTWAIT, we also do not execute this path as need_wait is
false here anyway, and in case of _no_ MSG_DONTWAIT flag, it is
okay to call a packet_read_pending(), because when we ever reach
that path, we're done processing outgoing frames anyway and only
look if there are skbs still outstanding to be orphaned. We can
stay lockless in this percpu counter since it's acceptable when we
reach this path for the sum to be imprecise first, but we'll level
out at 0 after all pending frames have reached the skb destructor
eventually through tx reclaim. When people pin a tx process to
particular CPUs, we expect overflows to happen in the reference
counter as on one CPU we expect heavy increase; and distributed
through ksoftirqd on all CPUs a decrease, for example. As
David Laight points out, since the C language doesn't define the
result of signed int overflow (i.e. rather than wrap, it is
allowed to saturate as a possible outcome), we have to use
unsigned int as reference count. The sum over all CPUs when tx
is complete will result in 0 again.

The BUG_ON() in tpacket_destruct_skb() we can remove as well. It
can _only_ be set from inside tpacket_snd() path and we made sure
to increase tx_ring.pending in any case before we called po->xmit(skb).
So testing for tx_ring.pending == 0 is not too useful. Instead, it
would rather have been useful to test if lower layers didn't orphan
the skb so that we're missing ring slots being put back to
TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE. But such a bug will be caught in user space
already as we end up realizing that we do not have any
TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE slots left anymore. Therefore, we're all set.

Btw, in case of RX_RING path, we do not make use of the pending
member, therefore we also don't need to use up any percpu memory
here. Also note that __alloc_percpu() already returns a zero-filled
percpu area, so initialization is done already.

In tpacket_snd(), when we've discovered a first frame that is
not in status TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST, and return a NULL buffer,
we exit the send routine in case of MSG_DONTWAIT, since we've
finished traversing the mmaped send ring buffer and don't care
about pending frames.

While doing so, we still unconditionally call an expensive
schedule() in the packet_current_frame() "error" path, which
is unnecessary in this case since it's enough to just quit
the function.

Also, in case MSG_DONTWAIT is not set, we should rather test
for need_resched() first and do schedule() only if necessary
since meanwhile pending frames could already have finished
processing and called skb destructor.

Most people acquire PF_PACKET sockets with a protocol argument in
the socket call, e.g. libpcap does so with htons(ETH_P_ALL) for
all its sockets. Most likely, at some point in time a subsequent
bind() call will follow, e.g. in libpcap with ...

  memset(&sll, 0, sizeof(sll));
  sll.sll_family          = AF_PACKET;
  sll.sll_ifindex         = ifindex;
  sll.sll_protocol        = htons(ETH_P_ALL);

... as arguments. What happens in the kernel is that already
in socket() syscall, we install a proto hook via register_prot_hook()
if our protocol argument is != 0. Yet, in bind() we're almost
doing the same work by doing a unregister_prot_hook() with an
expensive synchronize_net() call in case during socket() the proto
was != 0, plus follow-up register_prot_hook() with a bound device
to it this time, in order to limit traffic we get.

In the case when the protocol and user supplied device index (== 0)
does not change from socket() to bind(), we can spare us doing
the same work twice. Similarly for re-binding to the same device
and protocol. For these scenarios, we can decrease create/bind
latency from ~7447us (sock-bind-2 case) to ~89us (sock-bind-1 case)
with this patch.

Alternatively, for the first case, if people care, they should
simply create their sockets with proto == 0 argument and define
the protocol during bind() as this saves a call to synchronize_net()
as well (sock-bind-3 case).

In all other cases, we're tied to user space behaviour we must not
change, also since a bind() is not strictly required. Thus, we need
the synchronize_net() to make sure no asynchronous packet processing
paths still refer to the previous elements of po->prot_hook.

In case of mmap()ed sockets, the workflow that includes bind() is
socket() -> setsockopt(<ring>) -> bind(). In that case, a pair of
{__unregister, register}_prot_hook is being called from setsockopt()
in order to install the new protocol receive handler. Thus, when
we call bind and can skip a re-hook, we have already previously
installed the new handler. For fanout, this is handled different
entirely, so we should be good.

Timings on an i7-3520M machine:

  * sock-bind-1:   89 us
  * sock-bind-2: 7447 us
  * sock-bind-3:   75 us

sock-bind-1:
  socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_IP)) = 3
  bind(3, {sa_family=AF_PACKET, proto=htons(ETH_P_IP), if=all(0),
           pkttype=PACKET_HOST, addr(0)={0, }, 20) = 0

sock-bind-2:
  socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_IP)) = 3
  bind(3, {sa_family=AF_PACKET, proto=htons(ETH_P_IP), if=lo(1),
           pkttype=PACKET_HOST, addr(0)={0, }, 20) = 0

sock-bind-3:
  socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0) = 3
  bind(3, {sa_family=AF_PACKET, proto=htons(ETH_P_IP), if=lo(1),
           pkttype=PACKET_HOST, addr(0)={0, }, 20) = 0

Recent commit 438e38fa
("gre_offload: statically build GRE offloading support") added
new module_init/module_exit calls to the gre_offload.c file.

The file is obj-y and can't be anything other than built-in.
Currently it can never be built modular, so using module_init
as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.  We also make the inclusion explicit.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- it will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.

As for the module_exit, rather than replace it with __exitcall,
we simply remove it, since it appears only UML does anything
with those, and even for UML, there is no relevant cleanup
to be done here.
