The linux-next-chery-pick, linux-next-pending, and crap

compat-wireless: add linux-next-pending, crap patch dirs and nagometer
Sometimes you have no other option but to carry around patches.
This can happen for a variety of reasons. Ultimately testing of code
cannot happen on the kernel maintainer's clock but on your own.
This expands the idea of the linux-next-cherry-pick patch directory
on compat-wireless to also allow for patches to be merged which are
posted to some mailing list but pending merge due to some reasons
(merge window is a good example). It also adds a crap patch directory
for those really nasty situations you can run into where you have
no other option but to give someone a release with some delta even
if the patch is not yet posted anywhere.
The focus should always be upstream though so to avoid these
situations we will also provide code metrics to indicate to
the package maintainer how much code came from each directory,
including the backport code to support older kernel releases.
Maybe we should add the code-metrics.txt file as a print out
on the compat module load :)

Use the defines to tag the compat module
The compat module now has read-only module parameters which
we can help tune to help identify the exact upstream base
tree used for this backport, as well as the specific tree
used to make it. For example when building a stable
compat-wireless release based on the linux-2.6-allstable.git
git tree, using the tree as of the 'v2.6.34' tag we'd get:
$ sudo grep '' /sys/module/compat/parameters/compat_
/sys/module/compat/parameters/compat_base_tree:linux-2.6-allstable.git
/sys/module/compat/parameters/compat_base_tree_version:v2.6.34
/sys/module/compat/parameters/compat_version:
v2.6.34-rc4-4-g9ace871
The last file indicates compat-wireless.git was used, but
specifically that the v2.6.34-rc4 branch was used and that
4 patches have been applied on top of that tree. The top
sha1sum commit on that tree is
9ace871.
These files will work even if you have built compat-wireless
completely as built-in to your kernel.

Add linux-next cherry picked patches directory
We work hard to get patches in time onto the stable
tree but sometimes a few things slip out, and sometimes a
stable fix is simply too big in size to be merged into
stable. In such cases though we do believe some of these
patches are still relatively important to either enable new
hardware which escaped the late rc cycles or to correct some
behaviour which might be too late for stable. We apply
these patches by default as they will be supported on these
releases.
The larger the number of patches you see in this new directory
the more we should be ashamed. We should strive to reduce this
to 0 all the time.
This only makes sense for the stable compat-wireless releases
as bleeding edge compat-wireless already uses linux-next. We
add this patch into this tree though so that future stable
branches will get it as well.

Backport multiqueue support for kernels < 2.6.27
The 2.6.23 kernel added some initial multiqueue support.
That release relied on the on the notion of struct
net_device_subqueue attached to the netdevice struct
as an array. The 2.6.27 renamed these to struct netdev_queue,
and enhanced MQ support by providing locks separately onto
each queue. MQ support on 2.6.27 also extended each netdev
to be able to assign a select_queue callback to be used by
core networking for prior to pushing the skb out to the device
driver so that queue selection can be dealt with and
customized internally on the driver.
For kernels 2.6.23..2.6.26 then we backport MQ support by
using the equivalent calls on the struct netdev_queue to
the struct net_device_subqueue. The performance penalty
here is just that all these queues share a common lock
so stateful operations on one queue would imply a delay
on other queues.
For older kernels than 2.6.23 we can only stop all the
queues then and wake them up only if no other queue had
been stopped previously. This means for kernels older
than 2.6.23 there is a performance penalty and congestion
on one queue would imply propagating the same congestion
impact on all the other queues.
The select_queue callback was only added as of 2.6.27 via
commit
eae792b7 so for kernels older than 2.6.23 and up
to 2.6.27 we must ensure we do the selection of the queue
once the core networking calls mac80211's dev_hard_start_xmit()
(ndo_start_xmit() callback on newer kernels).
This patch then consists of three parts:
1) Addresses the lack of select_queue on older kernels than 2.6.27
2) Extends the backport of net_device_ops for select_queue for kernels >= 2.6.27
3) Backporting wake/stop queue for older kernels:
- Handle with net_device_subqueue for >= 2.6.23
- Treat each queue operation as an aggregate for all queues
Monitor interfaces have their own select_queue -- monitor interfaces
are used for injecting frames so they have their own respective queue
handling, but mac80211 just always sends management frames on VO
queue by using skb_set_queue_mapping(skb, 0) through ieee80211_tx_skb()
