5ffddc498c rt2x00: Add rt2800_wait_csr_ready
Similar to rt2800_wait_wpdma_ready() we can add a
function to waiting until the CSR is ready. This
centralizes some additional code into rt2800lib.

56363ddeee ath9k: fix spurious MIC failure reports
According to the hardware documentation, the MIC failure bit is only
valid if the frame was decrypted using a valid TKIP key and is not a
fragment.
In some setups I've seen hardware-reported MIC failures on an AP that
was configured for CCMP only, so it's clear that additional checks are
necessary.

3ba06c6fbd mac80211: Fix signal strength average initialization for CQM events
The ave_beacon_signal value uses 1/16 dB unit and as such, must be
initialized with the signal level of the first Beacon frame multiplied
by 16. This fixes an issue where the initial CQM events are reported
incorrectly with a burst of events while the running average
approaches the correct value after the incorrect initialization. This
could cause user space -based roaming decision process to get quite
confused at the moment when we would like to go through authentication
and DHCP.

3d5b99ae82 TCP: update initial windows according to RFC 5681
This updates the use of larger initial windows, as originally specified in
RFC 3390, to use the newer IW values specified in RFC 5681, section 3.1.

The changes made in RFC 5681 are:
 a) the setting now is more clearly specified in units of segments (as the
    comments  by John Heffner emphasized, this was not very clear in RFC 3390);
 b) for connections with 1095 < SMSS <= 2190 there is now a change:
    - RFC 3390 says that IW <= 4380,
    - RFC 5681 says that IW = 3 * SMSS <= 6570.

Since RFC 3390 is older and "only" proposed standard, whereas the newer RFC 5681
is already draft standard, it seems preferable to use the newer IW variant.

89858ad143 dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallback
This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time
RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value.

The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the
order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the
sending rate.

This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in
RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value,
it allows to adapt to network conditions.

The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by

> ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0

(assuming HZ=1000).

4886fcad6e dccp ccid-2: Share TCP's minimum RTO code
Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2
over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It
helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link.

Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from
commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a"
       "[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics."
available to DCCP.

This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the
expected way now also for CCID-2:

> ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0

Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h,
which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

Documentation also updated (plus minor whitespace fixes).

d26eeb07fd dccp ccid-2: Remove wrappers around sk_{reset,stop}_timer()
This removes the wrappers around the sk timer functions, since not much is
gained from using them: the BUG_ON in start_rto_timer will never trigger
since that function is called only if:

 * the RTO timer expires (rto_expire, and then timer_pending() is false);
 * in tx_packet_sent only if !timer_pending() (BUG_ON is redundant here);
 * previously in new_ack, after stopping the timer (timer_pending() false).

Removing the wrappers also clears the way for eventually replacing the
RTO timer with the icsk-retransmission-timer, as it is already part of the
DCCP socket.

dca43c75e7 tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option.
This patch provides a "user timeout" support as described in RFC793. The
socket option is also needed for the the local half of RFC5482 "TCP User
Timeout Option".

TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int,
when > 0, to specify the maximum amount of time in ms that transmitted
data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcefully close the
corresponding connection and return ETIMEDOUT to the application. If
0 is given, TCP will continue to use the system default.

Increasing the user timeouts allows a TCP connection to survive extended
periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts
allows applications to "fail fast" if so desired. Otherwise it may take
upto 20 minutes with the current system defaults in a normal WAN
environment.

The socket option can be made during any state of a TCP connection, but
is only effective during the synchronized states of a connection
(ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, or LAST-ACK).
Moreover, when used with the TCP keepalive (SO_KEEPALIVE) option,
TCP_USER_TIMEOUT will overtake keepalive to determine when to close a
connection due to keepalive failure.

The option does not change in anyway when TCP retransmits a packet, nor
when a keepalive probe will be sent.

This option, like many others, will be inherited by an acceptor from its
listener.

5b714c6a37 mac80211: fix offchannel queue stop
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined
to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back
from them. So while I was adding the state
field I figured I could use it to fix it.

The problem, as I understand it, is that when
we go offchannel while the driver has a queue
stopped, the driver will likely start draining
the queue and then enable it while offchannel.
This in turn will enable the interface queue,
and that leads to transmitting data frames on
the wrong channel.

Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status
per interface, and not enabling the interface
queues on interfaces that are offchannel when
the driver enables a queue.

7d64b7cc1f cfg80211: allow vendor specific cipher suites
cfg80211 currently rejects all cipher suites it
doesn't know about for key length checking
purposes. This can lead to inconsistencies when
a driver advertises an algorithm that cfg80211
doesn't know about. Remove this rejection so
drivers can specify any algorithm they like.

b49d09c5bf cfg80211 docbook: remove erronous !A
My previous patch erroneously included an
!A line (for some checking I am working on)
that isn't yet supported by the docbook
tools, so remove it.

fe67470ddd ath9k_htc: Enable ANI in associated state only
While scanning, ANI is triggered unnecessarily where sta is in
unassociated state. And cancelling ani work in ath9k_htc_stop
is not required.

0ec2f2724d wl12xx: remove unneeded locking
With the scan callback now being callable from
any context, these unlocks/locks can go away.
This makes the code easier to understand, since
callers of these functions must no longer be
aware that the mutex may be dropped.

As Stanislaw is working on iwlwifi scanning, I
didn't change it to take advantage of the new
mac80211 semantics.

8789d459bc mac80211: allow scan to complete from any context
The ieee80211_scan_completed() function was a frequent
source of potential deadlocks, since it is called by
drivers but may call back into drivers, so drivers had
to make sure to call it without any locks held, which
frequently lead to more complex code in drivers. Avoid
that problem by allowing the function to be called in
any context, and queueing the actual work it does.
Also update the documentation for it to indicate this.

Since cfg80211 manages the BSS list completely,
this define hasn't been used for a long time
and will never be used again.

53b1cf8a28 ath5k: fix off-by-one in pilot magnitude mask
If the symbol offset is 46, it will be counted in both
the third and fourth bytes of the mask, and in this
case the shift will be negative which can pollute
high order bits in the mask.  This may negatively impact
OFDM symbol detection.

There was a small misordering here.  In the original code, if we were to
go to err_free_ah then it wouldn't free the irq.

d0fe478c9f iwlwifi: allow using multiple contexts
We're now ready to start using multiple contexts.
We do this by keeping track of the valid interface
types per context (exclusive [ibss] and normal)
and checking which context is "free" when a new
interface is added.
