dfe6e81dea [MAC80211]: Add get_unaligned to ieee80211_get_radiotap_len
ieee80211_get_radiotap_len() tries to dereference radiotap length without
taking care that it is completely unaligned and get_unaligned()
is required.

0ec0b7ac3c [MAC80211]: use more GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC
This patch replaces atomic allocations with regular ones where possible.

Merged with "revert some GFP_ATOMIC -> GFP_KERNEL changes" from Michael Wu:
> Some of the allocations made with GFP_ATOMIC really were necessary.

d9430a3288 [MAC80211]: implement ERP info change notifications
zd1211rw and bcm43xx are interested in being notified when ERP IE conditions
change, so that they can reprogram a register which affects how control frames
are transmitted.

This patch adds an interface similar to the one that can be found in softmac.

7e9ed18874 [MAC80211]: improved short preamble handling
Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b
transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global.

For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP
IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been
restricted to AP-only subifs.

ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed.

Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions:
 - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration
 - ieee80211_rts_duration
 - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration
 - ieee80211_rts_get
 - ieee80211_ctstoself_get
Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

d5d08def92 [MAC80211]: Add LONG_RETRY flag to ieee80211_tx_control
mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through
set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the
driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used.
Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit
and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should
be used this is not really useful.

This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the
ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be
used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used.

This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets,
but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit. But there is no
perfect cure for this problem.. :(

8a69aa93d5 [MAC80211]: STA reassociation improvements
My cheapy D-Link AP behaves strangely w.r.t reassociations.

The following sequence of commands causes me to lose association and to be
unable to regain it:

	ifconfig eth8 down
	ifconfig eth8 up
	iwconfig eth8 essid <x>

This is because mac80211 tries to reassociate, rather than just associate.
My AP replies with an association response (not a reassociation response...)
denying the association with code 12: "Association denied due to reason
outside the scope of this standard"

mac80211 tries this reassociation another 4 times or so before finally giving
up.

I see 2 problems here:
 1. bringing the interface down and up again should be resetting interface state
    i.e. after the interface is brought down, it should have no memory of if or
         where it was previously associated
 2. after the first reassociation fails, mac80211 should fall back to
    standard association for the next attempt

be8755e180 [MAC80211]: improve locking of sta_info related structures
The sta_info code has some awkward locking which prevents some driver
callbacks from being allowed to sleep. This patch makes the locking more
focused so code that calls driver callbacks are allowed to sleep. It also
converts sta_lock to a rwlock.

f708631ac7 [MIPS] Alchemy: Fix USB initialization.
This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO
pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.

This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which
started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were
working anyway for most people got forgotten.

[Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch
only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.]

e2a57a8159 Correct Makefile rule for generating custom keymap
When building a custom keymap, after setting GENERATE_KEYMAP := 1 in

  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
  make: *** [drivers] Error 2

This was caused by commit af8b128719, which
deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern.  The following
patch puts the colon back:

All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.

This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages().  Not good (tm).

Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

bf0b48dfc3 [IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the 
redirect instead of dropping it.  The problem is in this code in 
ndisc_redirect_rcv():

         if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
                 on_link = 1;
         } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
                 ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
                            "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not 
link-local.\n");
                 return;
         }

This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, 
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope.  Instead, it should be checking 
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 
8.1:

       - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
         redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
         Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).

I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's 
implied.

This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II 
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test 
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the 
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so 
we were passing the test.  This won't be the case anymore.

The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() 
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target 
field.  I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux 
passes all 245 tests now.

48611c47d0 [TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed
When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.

In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

291041e935 fix bogus reporting of signals by audit
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log.  As
it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
if it should apply current-based permission checks.  So the solution is to
move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.

Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

52a2638bff Longhaul: add auto enabled "revid_errata" option
VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
frequency.  New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
0, whatever RevisionID is.

Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
be enabled for this processor/system.

Same for Longhaul ver.  2 support.  It will be disabled if none of above
options will work.

 Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled):
 longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected.  Longhaul v2 supported.
 longhaul: Using northbridge support.
 longhaul: VRM 8.5
 longhaul: Max VID=1.350  Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales
 longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV
 [...]
 longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled.
 Worst case scenario:
 longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected.  Powersaver supported.
 longhaul: Using northbridge support.
 longhaul: Using ACPI support.
 longhaul: VRM 8.5
 longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Disabling ACPI C3 support.
 longhaul: Disabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.

74922be148 Fix timer_stats printout of events/sec
When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt
accurate.  Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we
werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration).

The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and
take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

0c2043abef Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervals
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.

So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.

Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

70cb97935b VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessary
We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.

This can help with X startup issues:

    Fatal server error:
    xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.

Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.
