This is a small batch of fixes intended for the 3.8 stream...

There are two pulls from Johannes.  Regarding mac80211, Johannes says:

"One fix from Dan for a possible memory overrun."

Regarding iwlwifi,  Johannes says:

"I have one fix from Emmanuel reverting a previous fix that caused
more trouble than it's worth."

Along with those:

Arend van Spriel fixes a fatal error in brcsmac related to tx status processing.

Bing Zhao corrects a problem where mwifiex would fail to complete a scan
in the event of an IE processing error.

Larry Finger fixes a thinko in rtlwifi in which the wrong skb variable
was being used in some cases.

Rafał Miłecki fixes a thinko in an ID check in the bcma flash code.

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless into for-davem

On receiving the SYN-ACK, Fast Open checks icsk_retransmit for SYN
retransmission to detect SYN/data drops. But if F-RTO is disabled,
icsk_retransmit is reset at step D of tcp_fastretrans_alert() (
under tcp_ack()) before tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack(). The fix is to use
total_retrans instead which accounts for SYN retransmission regardless
the use of F-RTO.

A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in
scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and
its response is handlded one after another.

If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response
buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned.

We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in
the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call
cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send
next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware.

vmxnet3 fails to set netif_carrier_off on probe, meaning that when an interface
is opened the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit is already cleared, and so
/sys/class/net/<ifname>/operstate remains in the unknown state.  Correct this by
setting netif_carrier_off on probe, like other drivers do.

Also, while we're at it, lets remove the netif_carrier_ok checks from the
link_state_update function, as that check is atomically contained within the
netif_carrier_[on|off] functions anyway

In rare instances, memory errors have been detected in the internal packet
buffer memory on I217/I218 when stressed under certain environmental
conditions.  Enable Error Correcting Code (ECC) in hardware to catch both
correctable and uncorrectable errors.  Correctable errors will be handled
by the hardware.  Uncorrectable errors in the packet buffer will cause the
packet to be received with an error indication in the buffer descriptor
causing the packet to be discarded.  If the uncorrectable error is in the
descriptor itself, the hardware will stop and interrupt the driver
indicating the error.  The driver will then reset the hardware in order to
clear the error and restart.

Both types of errors will be accounted for in statistics counters.

We forbid polling, writing and reading when the file were detached, this may
complex the user in several cases:

- when guest pass some buffers to vhost/qemu and then disable some queues,
  host/qemu needs to do its own cleanup on those buffers which is complex
  sometimes. We can do this simply by allowing a user can still write to an
  disabled queue. Write to an disabled queue will cause the packet pass to the
  kernel and read will get nothing.
- align the polling behavior with macvtap which never fails when the queue is
  created. This can simplify the polling errors handling of its user (e.g vhost)

We can simply achieve this by don't assign NULL to tfile->tun when detached.

Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues:

- vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll,
  this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to
  add itself to the waitqueue
- userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling
  failed.

Solve this by:

- check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value
  will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend

After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it
will addressed by the next patch.

The delay calculation with the rate extension introduces in v3.3 does
not properly work, if other packets are still queued for transmission.
For the delay calculation to work, both delay types (latency and delay
introduces by rate limitation) have to be handled differently. The
latency delay for a packet can overlap with the delay of other packets.
The delay introduced by the rate however is separate, and can only
start, once all other rate-introduced delays finished.

Latency delay is from same distribution for each packet, rate delay
depends on the packet size.

.: latency delay
-: rate delay
x: additional delay we have to wait since another packet is currently
   transmitted

  .....----                    Packet 1
    .....xx------              Packet 2
               .....------     Packet 3
    ^^^^^
    latency stacks
         ^^
         rate delay doesn't stack
               ^^
               latency stacks

  -----> time

When a packet is enqueued, we first consider the latency delay. If other
packets are already queued, we can reduce the latency delay until the
last packet in the queue is send, however the latency delay cannot be
<0, since this would mean that the rate is overcommitted.  The new
reference point is the time at which the last packet will be send. To
find the time, when the packet should be send, the rate introduces delay
has to be added on top of that.

If a tunnel socket is created by userspace, l2tp hooks the socket destructor
in order to clean up resources if userspace closes the socket or crashes.  It
also caches a pointer to the struct sock for use in the data path and in the
netlink interface.

While it is safe to use the cached sock pointer in the data path, where the
skb references keep the socket alive, it is not safe to use it elsewhere as
such access introduces a race with userspace closing the socket.  In
particular, l2tp_tunnel_delete is prone to oopsing if a multithreaded
userspace application closes a socket at the same time as sending a netlink
delete command for the tunnel.

This patch fixes this oops by forcing l2tp_tunnel_delete to explicitly look up
a tunnel socket held by userspace using sockfd_lookup().

commit f96972f2 "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()"

added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries
to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA
Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug.

When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down.

One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The
DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls
cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O
that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly
(system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations
too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does.

Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit:

# tracer: function

          <idle>-0     [000]  1558.861437: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception

When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with:

This issue was reported on the wireless list (see [1]) in which
brcmsmac ran into a fatal error:

[  588.284074] brcmsmac bcma0:0: frameid != txh->TxFrameID
[  588.284098] brcmsmac bcma0:0: MI_TFS: fatal
[  588.284103] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: fatal error, reinitializing
[  588.286208] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested

The tx status feedback is processed in a loop limiting the number of
frames processed in one run. The code terminate processing when the
limit is reached regardless the txstatus value read from the device
register. When that status is is flagged as being valid it must be
processed as the hardware will clear it after is has been read.

Bisecting was done by Seth Forshee and showed following commit as the
culprit:

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Much more accumulated than I would have liked due to an unexpected
  bout with a nasty flu:

   1) AH and ESP input don't set ECN field correctly because the
      transport head of the SKB isn't set correctly, fix from Li
      RongQing.

   2) If netfilter conntrack zones are disabled, we can return an
      uninitialized variable instead of the proper error code.  Fix from
      Borislav Petkov.

   3) Fix double SKB free in ath9k driver beacon handling, from Felix
      Feitkau.

   4) Remove bogus assumption about netns cleanup ordering in
      nf_conntrack, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

   5) Remove a bogus BUG_ON in the new TCP fastopen code, from Eric
      Dumazet.  It uses spin_is_locked() in it's test and is therefore
      unsuitable for UP.

   6) Fix SELINUX labelling regressions added by the tuntap multiqueue
      changes, from Paul Moore.

   7) Fix CRC errors with jumbo frame receive in tg3 driver, from Nithin
      Nayak Sujir.

   8) CXGB4 driver sets interrupt coalescing parameters only on first
      queue, rather than all of them.  Fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza
      Cascardo.

   9) Fix regression in the dispatch of read/write registers in dm9601
      driver, from Tushar Behera.

  10) ipv6_append_data miscalculates header length, from Romain KUNTZ.

  11) Fix PMTU handling regressions on ipv4 routes, from Steffen
      Klassert, Timo Teräs, and Julian Anastasov.

  12) In 3c574_cs driver, add necessary parenthesis to "x << y & z"
      expression.  From Nickolai Zeldovich.

  13) macvlan_get_size() causes underallocation netlink message space,
      fix from Eric Dumazet.

  14) Avoid division by zero in xfrm_replay_advance_bmp(), from Nickolai
      Zeldovich.  Amusingly the zero check was already there, we were
      just performing it after the modulus :-)

  15) Some more splice bug fixes from Eric Dumazet, which fix things
      mostly eminating from how we now more aggressively use high-order
      pages in SKBs.

  16) Fix size calculation bug when freeing hash tables in the IPSEC
      xfrm code, from Michal Kubecek.

  17) Fix PMTU event propagation into socket cached routes, from Steffen
      Klassert.

  18) Fix off by one in TX buffer release in netxen driver, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  19) Fix rediculous memory allocation requirements introduced by the
      tuntap multiqueue changes, from Jason Wang.

  20) Remove bogus AMD platform workaround in r8169 driver that causes
      major problems in normal operation, from Timo Teräs.

  21) virtio-net set affinity and select queue don't handle
      discontiguous cpu numbers properly, fix from Wanlong Gao.

  22) Fix a route refcounting issue in loopback driver, from Eric
      Dumazet.  There's a similar fix coming that we might add to the
      macvlan driver as well.

  23) Fix SKB leaks in batman-adv's distributed arp table code, from
      Matthias Schiffer.

  24) r8169 driver gives descriptor ownership back the hardware before
      we're done reading the VLAN tag out of it, fix from Francois
      Romieu.

  25) Checksums not calculated properly in GRE tunnel driver fix from
      Pravin B Shelar.

26) Fix SCTP memory leak on namespace exit."
