Sometimes, it is required to stop the transmissions momentarily and
resume it later; stopping the txqs becomes very critical in scenarios where
the packet transmission has to be ceased completely. For example, during
the hardware restart, during off channel operations,
when initiating CSA(upon detecting a radar on the DFS channel), etc.

The TX queue stop/start logic in mac80211 works well in stopping the TX
when drivers make use of netdev queues, i.e, when Qdiscs in network layer
take care of traffic scheduling. Since the devices implementing
wake_tx_queue can run without Qdiscs, packets will be handed to mac80211
directly without queueing them in the netdev queues.

Also, mac80211 does not invoke any of the
netif_stop_*/netif_wake_* APIs if wake_tx_queue is implemented.
Since the queues are not stopped in this case, transmissions can continue
and this will impact negatively on the operation of the wireless device.

For example,
During hardware restart, we stop the netdev queues so that packets are
not sent to the driver. Since ath10k implements wake_tx_queue,
TX queues will not be stopped and packets might reach the hardware while
it is restarting; this can make hardware unresponsive and the only
possible option for recovery is to reboot the entire system.

There is another problem to this, it is observed that the packets
were sent on the DFS channel for a prolonged duration after radar
detection impacting the channel closing time.

We can still invoke netif stop/wake APIs when wake_tx_queue is implemented
but this could lead to packet drops in network layer; adding stop/start
logic for software TXQs in mac80211 instead makes more sense; the change
proposed adds the same in mac80211.

When REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE is set,  __reg_process_hint_country_ie()
ignores the country code change request from __cfg80211_connect_result()
via regulatory_hint_country_ie().

After Disconnect, similar to above, country code should not be reset to
world when country IE ignore is set. But this is violated and restore of
regulatory settings is invoked by cfg80211_disconnect_work via
regulatory_hint_disconnect().

To address this, avoid regulatory restore from regulatory_hint_disconnect()
when COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE is set.

Note: Currently, restore_regulatory_settings() takes care of clearing
beacon hints. But in the proposed change, regulatory restore is avoided.
Therefore, explicitly clear beacon hints when DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS
is not set.

Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
 "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
  backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
  possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
  mappings.

  In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:

   1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
      that would typically be handled by the page lock.

   2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
      "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
      the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.

   3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
      accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
      otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.

  A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
  for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
  system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
  Specifically the current behavior is:

     mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
     {1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
     mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged

macb_reset_hw() is called from macb_close() and indirectly from
macb_open(). macb_reset_hw() zeroes the NCR register, including the MPE
(Management Port Enable) bit.

This will prevent accessing any other PHYs for other Ethernet MACs on
the MDIO bus, which remains registered at macb_reset_hw() time, until
macb_init_hw() is called from macb_open() which sets the MPE bit again.

I.e. currently the MDIO bus has a short disruption at open time and is
disabled at close time until the interface is opened again.

Fix that by only touching the RE and TE bits when enabling and disabling
RX/TX.

commit 739de9a1 ("net: macb: Reorganize macb_mii bringup") broke
initializing macb on the EVB-KSZ9477 eval board.
There, of_mdiobus_register was called even for the fixed-link representing
the RGMII-link to the switch with the result that the driver attempts to
enumerate PHYs on a non-existent MDIO bus:

	libphy: MACB_mii_bus: probed
	mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: fixed-link has invalid PHY address
	mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 0
        [snip]
	mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 31

The "MDIO" bus registration succeeds regardless, having claimed the reset GPIO,
and calling of_phy_register_fixed_link later on fails because it tries
to claim the same GPIO:

	macb f0028000.ethernet: broken fixed-link specification

Fix this by registering the fixed-link before calling mdiobus_register.

When a bridge device is removed, the VLANs are flushed from each
configured port. This causes the ports to decrement the reference count
on the associated FIDs (filtering identifier). If the reference count of
a FID is 1 and it has a RIF (router interface), then this RIF is
destroyed.

However, if no port is member in the VLAN for which a RIF exists, then
the RIF will continue to exist after the removal of the bridge. To
reproduce:

# ip link add name br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# ip link set dev swp1 master br0
# ip link add link br0 name br0.10 type vlan id 10
# ip address add 192.0.2.0/24 dev br0.10
# ip link del dev br0

The RIF associated with br0.10 continues to exist.

Fix this by iterating over all the bridge device uppers when it is
destroyed and take care of destroying their RIFs.

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.

It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.

This patch was inspired by

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447

which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.

That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
if r is not 2.  Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

Thanks for your work in this area. I still remember the first linux
storage summit we did in Vancouver 2001, Tejun was invited to talk about
his libata error handling work. Before that, it was basically a crap
shoot if we recovered properly or not... A lot of water has flown under
the bridge since then!

Here's an "official" patch. Linus, can you apply it?

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-08-24

This series contains fixes to e1000, igb, ixgb, ixgbe and i40e.

YueHaibing from Huawei provides a change to use dma_zalloc_coherent()
instead of calls to allocator followed by a memset for ixgb.

Bo Chen provides a couple of fixes for e1000, first by adding a check to
prevent a NULL pointer dereference.  The second change is to clean up a
possible resource leak on old transmit and receive rings when the device
is not up.

Jesus fixes an issue in the usage of an advanced transmit context
descriptor for retrieving the timestamp of a packet for AF_PACKET if the
IGB_TX_FLAGS_VLAN is not set in igb.

Jia-Ju Bai provides several patches which replace GFP_ATOMIC with
GFP_KERNEL, when using kzalloc() and kcalloc() which is not necessary.
Also found an instance of mdelay() call which could be replaced with
msleep().

Tony fixes ixgbe to allow MTU changes with XDP, by adding checks to
ensure only supported values and return -EINVAL for when it is not
supported.

Sebastian fixed an issue that was not clearing VF mailbox memory and
ensure queues are re-enabled correctly.

Martyna fixes a transmit timeout when DCB is configured when bringing up
an interface.

Jake fixes a previous commit which accidentally reversed the check of
the data pointer, so we can accurately count the size of the stats.

 - The ARM-SMMU now aborts transactions from unknown devices and devices
   not attached to any domain.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - An implementation for the newly added hv_ops->flush() for the OPAL
   hvc console driver backends, I forgot to apply this after merging the
   hvc driver changes before the merge window.

 - Enable all PCI bridges at boot on powernv, to avoid races when
   multiple children of a bridge try to enable it simultaneously. This
   is a workaround until the PCI core can be enhanced to fix the races.

 - A fix to query PowerVM for the correct system topology at boot before
   initialising sched domains, seen in some configurations to cause
   broken scheduling etc.

 - A fix for pte_access_permitted() on "nohash" platforms.

 - Two commits to fix SIGBUS when using remap_pfn_range() seen on Power9
   due to a workaround when using the nest MMU (GPUs, accelerators).

 - Another fix to the VFIO code used by KVM, the previous fix had some
   bugs which caused guests to not start in some configurations.

 - A handful of other minor fixes.
