ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload
This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network. A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.
This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload. When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available. As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.
Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.

r8169: fix rx checksum offload
While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx
path.
All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums.
The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the
copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and
preventing my GRO patch to work.
Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy.
Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied...

The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while

This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto

current behavior to be overwritten.
Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.
An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I

strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so

drivers/net/can/mscan/mpc5xxx_can.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak
Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_matching_node.
This patch also moves the existing call to of_node_put after the call to
iounmap in the error handling code, to make it possible to jump to
of_node_put without doing iounmap. These appear to be disjoint operations,
so the ordering doesn't matter.
This patch furthermore changes the -ENODEV result in the error handling
code for of_find_matching_node to a return of 0, as found in the error
handling code for of_iomap, because the return type of the function is
unsigned.

rt2x00: Cleanup rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx
rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx performs the same task
as rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue, with the only difference
is that it waits for all entries to be returned to
the driver and for all frames the status has been
reported to mac80211.
We can easily split this task by calling rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue,
sleep for a short period and invoke the TX status reporting
function. By adding the sleep() to the kill_entry we make sure
that even during shutdown we guarentee the entry has been killed when
the function returns. To make this work correctly the interrupt
handlers have to be updated to prevent checking for the RADIO_ENABLED
flag too early which prevents the ownership of the entry to be reset.
Additionally a check for the DEVICE_PRESENT flag is not required but
is nice to prevent race conditions when the device was unplugged.
Additionally rather then calling rt2x00usb_work_txdone() for
status reporting we let the driver perform the TX status reporting
first. If this is not sufficient then rt2x00usb_work_txdone() will
still be used to cleanup the mess.

rt2x00: Split watchdog check into a DMA and STATUS timeout
The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)

mac80211: Do not generate CQM events based on first Beacon frames
The signal strength value in a single RX frame is not that reliable,
so it is better to delay start of CQM events until there is a real
average signal strength from more than a single Beacon frame
available.

mac80211: Fix signal strength average initialization for CQM events
The ave_beacon_signal value uses 1/16 dB unit and as such, must be
initialized with the signal level of the first Beacon frame multiplied
by 16. This fixes an issue where the initial CQM events are reported
incorrectly with a burst of events while the running average
approaches the correct value after the incorrect initialization. This
could cause user space -based roaming decision process to get quite
confused at the moment when we would like to go through authentication
and DHCP.
