      mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_mac · 8e3bad65
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the
use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may
have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset.

Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed
up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that
mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used
by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good
enough" suspend/resume.

Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only
works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or
any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.

Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because
it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping
functions within the critical section, and now because it's called
by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl
because it is flushed under rtnl.
(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046)

I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it
entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.
For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for
the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably
simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get
mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to
connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we
will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer
to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,
while the suspend operation must be done directly.

Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect
to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short
enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect
that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the
association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data
frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and
have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is
available and requested.

      libertas_tf: fix skb tail pointer · 9b44fb89
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      skb->tail can't be meant here because it's not the same across 32/64 bit
compilations. This means there's no way the current driver can work on
64-bit architectures.

      lockdep: include/linux/lockdep.h - fix warning in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c · e8f6fbf6
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      fix this warning:

  net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c:60: warning: ‘bt_key_strings’ defined but not used
  net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c:71: warning: ‘bt_slock_key_strings’ defined but not used

this is a lockdep macro problem in the !LOCKDEP case.

We cannot convert it to an inline because the macro works on multiple types,
but we can mark the parameter used.

[ also clean up a misaligned tab in sock_lock_init_class_and_name() ]

[ also remove #ifdefs from around af_family_clock_key strings - which
  were certainly added to get rid of the ugly build warnings. ]
