mac80211: Disable requests for new scans in AP mode
AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.
For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.
This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

ipw2200: fix scanning while associated
This patch fixes sporadic firmware restarts when scanning while associated.
The firmware will quietly cancel a scan (while associated) if the dwell time
for a channel to be scanned is larger than the time it may stay away from the
operating channel (because of DTIM catching). Unfortunately the driver is not
notified about the canceled scan and therefore the scan watchdog timeout will
be hit and the driver causes a firmware restart which results in
disassociation. This mainly happens on passive channels which use a dwell time
of 120 whereas a typical beacon interval is around 100.
The patch changes the dwell time for passive channels to be slightly smaller
than the actual beacon interval to work around the firmware issue. Furthermore
the number of allowed beacon misses is increased from one to three as otherwise
most scans (while associated) won't complete successfully.
However scanning while associated will still fail in corner cases such as a
beacon intervals below 30.

Beacon frame timestamp being off by 25 milliseconds or so which can
cause issues with multicast power save buffering in AP mode. Some
client stations fail to receive multicast frames when there is this
large an offset between TBTT and actual Beacon transmission time.
Since ath9k does not yet support multiple BSSes anyway, the staggered
Beacon frame scheduling is just increasing the number of interrupts at
this point. The easiest fix for the timestamp offset is to disable
staggered Beacon frames for now. We need to redesign beacon.c anyway

iwl3945: Fix rate scale for B-mode connection
This patch make sure we use only CCK rate for B only network.
For 3945 driver, it sets REPLY_RATE_SCALE command every time
we connect to a new network. In this command we set for every
rate the number of try and next rate. The problem mac80211 reports
same mode for both B and G mode as IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ which will cause
using invalid rate other than CCK in B only network. THis patch

we can set REPLY_RATE_SCALE command with valid B only network and only

netns: ip6mr: enable namespace support in ipv6 multicast forwarding code
This last patch makes the appropriate changes to use and propagate the
network namespace where needed in IPv6 multicast forwarding code.
This consists mainly in replacing all the remaining init_net occurences
with current netns pointer retrieved from sockets, net devices or
mfc6_caches depending on the routines' contexts.
Some routines receive a new 'struct net' parameter to propagate the current
netns:
* ip6mr_get_route
* ip6mr_cache_report
* ip6mr_cache_find
* ip6mr_cache_unresolved
* mif6_add/mif6_delete
* ip6mr_mfc_add/ip6mr_mfc_delete
* ip6mr_reg_vif
All the IPv6 multicast forwarding variables moved to struct netns_ipv6 by
the previous patches are now referenced in the correct namespace.
Changelog:
==========
* Take into account the net associated to mfc6_cache when matching entries in
mfc_unres_queue list.
* Call mroute_clean_tables() in ip6mr_net_exit() to free memory allocated
per-namespace.

dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctl
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation
(i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per
RFC 4341, 4.).
Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to
crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock /
sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type
if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector)
/* ... */
with
if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL)
/* ... */
The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature
negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection.
Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child),
so that the test is a valid one.
The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature
negotiation has concluded at the
* server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives;
* client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN.
Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been
removed, since
(a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received;
(b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e.
this entry will always be ignored;
(c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only
packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks.
There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I removed this after finding out that:
* the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
* this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
* so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count feature
Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
* for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
* for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.
Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).
This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.
At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interface
The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
feature negotiation may be something different.
The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs.
Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler
is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 3 (client side)
This integrates feature-activation in the client:
1. When dccp_parse_options() fails, the reset code is already set; request_sent\
_state_process() currently overrides this with `Packet Error', which is not
intended - changed to use the reset code supplied by dccp_parse_options().
2. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable,
so that the application is notified that an error occurred. This is achieved
by a new label 'unable_to_proceed': generating an error code of `Aborted',
setting the socket state to CLOSED, returning with ECOMM in sk_err.
3. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing
again in dccp_rcv_respond_partopen_state_process (as option processing has
already been done on the request_sock in dccp_check_req).
Since this addresses congestion-control initialisation, a corresponding
FIXME has been removed.

dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 2 (server side)
This patch integrates the activation of features at the end of negotiation
into the server-side code.
Note regarding the removal of 'const':
--------------------------------------
The 'const' attribute has been removed from 'dreq' since dccp_activate_values()
needs to operate on dreq's feature list. Part of the activation is to remove
those options from the list that have already been confirmed, hence it is not
purely read-only.

dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 1 (socket setup)
This first patch out of three replaces the hardcoded default settings with
initialisation code for the dynamic feature negotiation.
The patch also ensures that the client feature-negotiation queue is flushed
only when entering the OPEN state.
Since confirmed Change options are removed as soon as they are confirmed
(in the DCCP-Response), this ensures that Confirm options are retransmitted.
Note on retransmitting Confirm options:
---------------------------------------
Implementation experience showed that it is necessary to retransmit Confirm
options. Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier
revision of the patch set, resulting from not retransmitting these options.
As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm
options for the Change options received on the DCCP-Response from the server.
Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the
network, the connection aborts due to undefined feature negotiation state.

netdevice: Kill netdev->priv
This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing
"priv" of "struct net_device" and fixing relative comments/docs.
Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.

staging-p80211: Kill directly reference of netdev->priv
In this driver, netdev's private data is wlandevice_t. And the
wlandev(type of wlandevice_t) is exist before netdev be allocated. So
use netdev->ml_priv to point to the private data.
I am not sure whether I should consider the kernel version older than
2.3.38. Because in those kernels, netdevice_t is "structure dev"
instead of "structure net_device" and of course "dev->ml_priv" will
cause compile error. But before my patch, in function wlan_setup(),
there is a ether_setup(net_device) which already broke kernels which
older than 2.3.38.
