In 5e140dfc "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID onto the local pending queue when tearing down a block ack request. This is not necessary unless we actually have received a request to start a block ack request (rate control, for example). If we never received that request we should not be splicing the tid pending queue as it would be null, causing a panic. Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set, that will require some further review as it is not quite obvious.

kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation. Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols. Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not likely. Acked-by: NDavid S.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

rfcomm tty may be used before rfcomm_tty_driver initilized, The problem is that now socket layer init before tty layer, if userspace program do socket callback right here then oops will happen. reporting in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=124404919324542&w=2 make 3 changes: 1. remove #ifdef in rfcomm/core.c, make it blank function when rfcomm tty not selected in rfcomm.h 2. tune the rfcomm_init error patch to ensure tty driver initilized before rfcomm socket usage. 3. remove __exit for rfcomm_cleanup_sockets because above change need call it in a __init function.

There is a path when an assetion in dev_unicast_sync() appears. igmp6_group_added -> dev_mc_add -> __dev_set_rx_mode -> -> vlan_dev_set_rx_mode -> dev_unicast_sync Therefore we cannot protect this list with rtnl.

The DCCP protocol tries to allocate some large hash tables during initialisation using the largest size possible. This can be larger than what the page allocator can provide so it prints a warning. However, the caller is able to handle the situation so this patch suppresses the warning.

Jan reported that his b43-based laptop hangs during suspend. The problem turned out to be mac80211 asking the driver to stop the hardware before removing interfaces, and interface removal caused b43 to touch the hardware (while down, which causes the hang). This patch fixes mac80211 to do reorder these operations to have them in the correct order -- first remove interfaces and then stop the hardware. Some more code is necessary to be able to do so in a race-free manner, in particular it is necessary to not process frames received during quiescing.
