These are full of unresolved problems, mainly that conversions don't
work 1-1 from hrtimers to tasklet_hrtimers because unlike hrtimers
tasklets can't be killed from softirq context.

And when a qdisc gets reset, that's exactly what we need to do here.

We'll work this out in the net-next-2.6 tree and if warranted we'll
backport that work to -stable.

This reverts the following 3 changesets:

a2cb6a4dd470d7a64255a10b843b0d188416b78f
("pkt_sched: Fix bogon in tasklet_hrtimer changes.")

38acce2d7983632100a9ff3fd20295f6e34074a8
("pkt_sched: Convert CBQ to tasklet_hrtimer.")

ee5f9757ea17759e1ce5503bdae2b07e48e32af9

None of this stuff should execute in hw IRQ context, therefore
use a tasklet_hrtimer so that it runs in softirq context.

<title>net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition</title>

In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "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.

<title>cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature</title>

<id>371842448c05b42d11a4be1c8e4e81d62ecc7534</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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&amp;m=124404919324542&amp;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.

Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1
(net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.

sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
while not fully (re)initialized.

This patch puts sk_node &amp; sk_refcnt to the very beginning
of struct sock to ease sock_copy() &amp; sk_prot_alloc() job.

We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)
