neigh: fix state transition INCOMPLETE->FAILED via Netlink request
The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from
the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply.
This also causes the transtion to FAILED state.
However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the
address is unavailable. Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and
leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in
the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection.
This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if
INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.

net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses
a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet.
This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path
also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different
cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these
two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces.
We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example),
where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles.
We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing
is delayed until all tx packets are completed.
As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc
by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called.
Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc)
to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets
are in flight.
skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore
sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc
reached 0 to perform the final freeing.
Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or
even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket.
Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s
on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt
contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends
on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scan
We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan,
because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames
during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan
and after scan.
This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=
124277331319024
The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm
figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or
single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc
frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended
up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the
wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with
it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control.
We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes
when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we
should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually
go into PS because it's not associated.

rfkill: remove set_global_sw_state
rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no
longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core.
Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be
initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.
We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these
drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.
Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with
wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future
along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon
(see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).
Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states
over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 again
In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed
to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce
the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary
overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and
this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption
is used.
Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue
again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also
fixes a problem where frames for that particular station
could be reordered when some were still on the software
queues and older ones are re-injected into the software

mac80211: fix minstrel single-rate memory corruption
The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in
a sampling table. When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel
correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle
the case where mi->n_rates < 2. However, mi->sample_idx is actually
defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge
positive number when negative, and the check will always fail.
Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory
corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate.
The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should
have no ill effects.
Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP
that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could
potentially crash. With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a
steady load.
Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could
reproduce this.

This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code
fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately
eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

net: dev_addr_init() fix
commit
f001fde5eadd915f4858d22ed70d7040f48767cf
(net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6))
added one regression Vegard Nossum found in its testings.
With kmemcheck help, Vegard found some uninitialized memory
was read and reported to user, potentialy leaking kernel data.
( thread can be found on http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/30/177 )
dev_addr_init() incorrectly uses sizeof() operator. We were
initializing one byte instead of MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes.

be2net: Remove unnecessary frag list traversing.
This driver does not indicate support for frag lists.
Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag
lists incorrectly. The idiom is:
for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next)
but it's doing:
for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter;
iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list)
which would never work. And this proves that this driver never
saw an SKB with active frag lists.
So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes
much simpler.

declance: Restore tx descriptor ring locking
A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with
the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the
broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in
the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct
all the time.
This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip
-- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on
R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory
is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon
erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface
the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its
aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered
when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads
are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same
location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral
hardware as well as software.
Either way this piece of code is buggy.

tun: Fix unregister race
It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the
a tun device. In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink
but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice
we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already
gone.
The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have
gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get
in tun_chr_close. Eliminating the possibility of the tun device
being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in
tun_chr_close.
