Pull more networking updates from David Miller:
 "Ok, everything from here on out will be bug fixes."

1) One final sync of wireless and bluetooth stuff from John Linville.
   These changes have all been in his tree for more than a week, and
   therefore have had the necessary -next exposure.  John was just away
   on a trip and didn't have a change to send the pull request until a
   day or two ago.

2) Put back some defines in user exposed header file areas that were
   removed during the tokenring purge.  From Stephen Hemminger and Paul
   Gortmaker.

3) A bug fix for UDP hash table allocation got lost in the pile due to
   one of those "you got it..  no I've got it.." situations.  :-)

   From Tim Bird.

4) SKB coalescing in TCP needs to have stricter checks, otherwise we'll
   try to coalesce overlapping frags and crash.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

5) RCU routing table lookups can race with free_fib_info(), causing
   crashes when we deref the device pointers in the route.  Fix by
   releasing the net device in the RCU callback.  From Yanmin Zhang.

Merge tag 'usb-3.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb

2012-05-22T22:50:46+00:00

Pull USB 3.5-rc1 changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here is the big USB 3.5-rc1 pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.

It's touches a lot of different parts of the kernel, all USB drivers,
due to some API cleanups (getting rid of the ancient err() macro) and
some changes that are needed for USB 3.0 power management updates.

There are also lots of new drivers, pimarily gadget, but others as
well. We deleted a staging driver, which was nice, and finally
dropped the obsolete usbfs code, which will make Al happy to never
have to touch that again.

There were some build errors in the tree that linux-next found a few
days ago, but those were fixed by the most recent changes (all were
due to us not building with CONFIG_PM disabled.)

USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.

2012-05-18T22:42:55+00:00

Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

ath6kl_sdio: Fix the EAPOL out of order issue

2012-05-04T18:45:37+00:00

Send the EAPOL and management frames in the same AC_VO queue. The issue
happens when the AP supports QOS, the management frames are sent to AC_VO
queue and EAP frame goes to AC_BE queue. Even though the EAP frame is
queued before the DEAUTH management frame, as they are queued on different
h/w queues, order of delivery between these frames cannot be controlled.

This fixes the connection failure seen in P2P case.

ath6kl: Complete failed tx packet in ath6kl_htc_tx_from_queue()

2012-04-30T07:56:24+00:00

Return status of ath6kl_htc_tx_issue() is ignored in
ath6kl_htc_tx_from_queue(), but failed tx packet is
is not cleaned up. To fix memory leak in this case, call
completion with error. Also, throw an error debug message
when tx fails in ath6kl_sdio_write_async() due to shortage
in bus request buffer.

not updated, fix this.

ath6kl: assign Tx packet drop threshold per endpoint on htc pipe layer

2012-04-27T06:50:00+00:00

On the htc mbox layer, it will assign each endpoint (AC) with a
different Tx-packet-drop threshold, so lower priority AC is more
likely to drop packets and the cookies become more available to higher
priority AC.

On the htc pipe layer, assign the tx packet drop threshold as well, it
will let AC to drop packets when cookies below the tx packet drop
threshold.

ath6kl: handle background(BK) stream properly on htc mbox layer

2012-04-27T06:49:12+00:00

When a STA sends huge BK QoS data frame first and then sends BE/VI/VO
QoS data frame, the corresponding throughput becomes much lower than
that without sends BK QoS data frame before.

The root cause is that when station send BK stream, the tx credits of
BK stream don't return back to higher priority QoS stream such as BE,
VI, and VO stream. This patch will handle BK stream properly, when
there is higher priority QoS stream, it will seek tx credits from BK
stream properly.

ath6kl: Fix bss filter setting while scanning

2012-04-27T06:45:25+00:00

bss filter is configured to allow the frames from all the bss other
than the currenly connected one, this is done when a scan is requested
in connected state. There is no reason to filter out the currently
connected bss, configure the filter to allow all the bss. This would
fix the reporting of stale rssi of the current bss while scanning.
