This adds support for offloading the channel switch
operation to devices that support such, typically
by having specific firmware API for it. The reasons
for this could be that the firmware provides better
timing or that regulatory enforcement done by the
device requires special handling of CSAs.
In order to allow drivers to specify the timing to
the device, the new channel_switch callback will
pass through the received frame's mactime, where
available.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

l2cap_ertm_send() can be called both from user context and bottom half
context. The socket locks for that contexts are different, the user
context uses a mutex(which can sleep) and the second one uses a
spinlock_bh. That creates a race condition when we have interruptions on
both contexts at the same time.
The better way to solve this is to add a new spinlock to lock
l2cap_ertm_send() and the vars it access. The other solution was to defer
l2cap_ertm_send() with a workqueue, but we the sending process already
has one defer on the hci layer. It's not a good idea add another one.
The patch refactor the code to create l2cap_retransmit_frames(), then we
encapulate the lock of l2cap_ertm_send() for some call. It also changes
l2cap_retransmit_frame() to l2cap_retransmit_one_frame() to avoid
confusion

A while back there was a discussion regarding the rt_secret_interval timer.
Given that we've had the ability to do emergency route cache rebuilds for awhile
now, based on a statistical analysis of the various hash chain lengths in the
cache, the use of the flush timer is somewhat redundant. This patch removes the
rt_secret_interval sysctl, allowing us to rely solely on the statistical
analysis mechanism to determine the need for route cache flushes.

Currently, when one interface switches HT mode,
all others will follow along. This is clearly
undesirable, since the new one might switch to
no-HT while another one is operating in HT.
Address this issue by keeping track of the HT
mode per interface, and allowing only changes
that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+
is not possible when another interface is in
HT40-, in that case the second one needs to
fall back to HT20.
Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on,
store the per-interface HT mode (channel type)
in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.
In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.
The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).
Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.
mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.
One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.
Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):
* different HT/no-HT modes
currently you could start an HT AP and then
connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
which would configure the hardware for no HT;
that can be fixed fairly easily
* CSA
An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
might indicate switching channels, and in that
case we would follow it, regardless of how many
other interfaces are operating; this requires
more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

An earlier regression fix for the mxb driver (V4L/DVB: saa7146_vv: fix
regression where v4l2_device was registered too late) caused a new
regression in the av7110 driver.
Reverted the old fix and fixed the problem in the mxb driver instead.
Tested on mxb and budget-av cards.
The real problem is that the saa7146 framework has separate probe()
and attach() driver callbacks which should be rolled into one. This
is now done for the mxb driver, but others should do the same. Lack
of hardware makes this hard to do, though. I hope to get hold of some
hexium cards and then I can try to improve the framework to prevent
this from happening again.

Some RCU-lockdep splat repairs need to know whether they are running
in a single-threaded process. Unfortunately, the thread_group_empty()

ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded
the fact that the user may have locked the socket. It proceeded
to destroy the association, even though the user may have
held the lock and had a ref on the association. This resulted

This was because the sctp_wait_for_connect() would aqcure the socket
lock and then proceed to release the last reference count on the
association, thus cause the fully destruction path to finish freeing
the socket.
The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket
is owned by user. When the timer expires, we can do some verification
and be able to do the release properly.

This whole patchset is for adding netpoll support to bridge and bonding
devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.
To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:
1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
at run-time;
2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
removed.
3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;
4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.
5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.
6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

With following patch I can reach maximum rate of my pktgen+udpsink
simulator :
- 'old' machine : dual quad core E5450 @3.00GHz
- 64 UDP rx flows (only differ by destination port)
- RPS enabled, NIC interrupts serviced on cpu0
- rps dispatched on 7 other cores. (~130.000 IPI per second)
- SLAB allocator (faster than SLUB in this workload)
- tg3 NIC
- 1.080.000 pps without a single drop at NIC level.
Idea is to add two prefetchw() calls in __alloc_skb(), one to prefetch
first sk_buff cache line, the second to prefetch the shinfo part.
Also using one memset() to initialize all skb_shared_info fields instead
of one by one to reduce number of instructions, using long word moves.
All skb_shared_info fields before 'dataref' are cleared in
__alloc_skb().

virtio added mergeable buffers mode where 2 bytes of extra info is put
after vnet header but before actual data (tun does not need this data).
In hindsight, it would have been better to add the new info *before* the
packet: as it is, users need a lot of tricky code to skip the extra 2
bytes in the middle of the iovec, and in fact applications seem to get
it wrong, and only work with specific iovec layout. The fact we might
need to split iovec also means we might in theory overflow iovec max
size.
This patch adds a simpler way for applications to handle this,
and future proofs the interface against further extensions,
by making the size of the virtio net header configurable
from userspace. As a result, tun driver will simply
skip the extra 2 bytes on both input and output.

Per cpu variable softnet_data.total was shared between IRQ and SoftIRQ context
without any protection. And enqueue_to_backlog should update the netdev_rx_stat
of the target CPU.
This patch renames softnet_data.total to softnet_data.processed: the number of
packets processed in uppper levels(IP stacks).
softnet_stat data is moved into softnet_data.

In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot")
we uninlined skb_pull.
But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing
and it helps performance significantly.
Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that
serves also as annotation.
Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet.

sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we
need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.
RCU conversion is pretty much needed :
1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).
[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]
2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().
3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"
4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"
5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep
6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.
7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
- Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
- Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
- Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.
9) Exceptions :
macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.
Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible
sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).
